Hi folks,
After asking your advice last week and getting such a helpful response I thought I'd report back on progress...:beer:
I'm on week 3 of flying again and feeling completely on top of the house.
This week I announced to my eldest 2 children that from now onwards I would like them to help with the house. I gave them a weekly print out of jobs and which days they are to do what working around their paid jobs.
The response was at first 'shock'!!! :eek: Especially from my eldest DS, but soon calmed as I went on to let them know about the new allowance system I was putting into place to allow them control of their spending on a budget. They are now working on the best strategies of saving money whilst still enjoying buying and socialising!!!! This will be great for them and even better for me as I have put the ball firmly in their court.:T
So yesterday was the first day of flying as a family, I came home from taking two exams at college to a hoovered downstairs and clean bathroom and downstairs loo/laundry, dog fed, dishwasher empty and draining board clear. Oh my oh my oh my, what a pleasure that moment was I could have bottled the feeling!
So thank you for your advice, it was greatly appreciated!DS 17 yearsDD 16 years DS 5 years
Busy working mum spinning plates!
