OMG! I have just walked into the room to see my DS aged 4 cutting up bits of paper. It was about 30 seconds before I realised that the paper that he was cutting was my Asda receipts for the wine that we bought earlier.... :eek::eek::eek:

I could cry.

I have done my best to piece them back together and DH has bravely gone back to the shop to see whether they can reprint them.

I can so sympathise with that.
Was putting away washing this morning and had a :eek: moment and remembered my A's receipt was in the pocket, was too late though, it had already been through the wash. It was for an APG worth £7 odd and I hadn't printed the voucher out :mad: :mad:
Was thinking I might be able to work out the details from apg website, but I deleted all my history and stuff the other night.
I really could have cried, in fact I'm still raging. Don't suppose there is anything I can do about it now though...

Oh and evening all

Adsa..found rose AND red, (rose had been restocked, but didnt have a '3 for £10' SEL, but it did work at the till.

Bought at 14.30pm, and both worked a treat for APG:j, so can confirm it is still active this afternoon!

Then headed to sainsbobs, lots of half price shreddies and orange fruit and barley, so stocked up on that, plus three free cans of beans.

Then the bad news...thunder, lightening, downpour! So headed to the cafe for 30 mins and probably blew all my shopping savings on a cup of tea and a slice of cake:rotfl::rotfl:.

I always wash new jeans before first wear, otherwise you tend to get blue legs from the dye!

Inside out, on their own or with other jeans (definitely not with lighter colours) and on a 30 or 40 degree wash.

Thanks.:beer::beer:

She sounds awful....I think some of the blame for her behaviour must lie with her Mum, she needs to be much firmer with her rather than 'giving' in to her all the time.

Most of the blame lies with her mum. She doesn't stick with things when they get hard so punishments are never adhered to. Her mum gets so fed up asking them to do things that she just does them herself.
The child got a shock when she found out that her gran wouldn't be lifting up after her and if her room got messy she had to sort it herself. She also soon learnt how to use the washing machine due to having no clean clothing, she tried to bribe her aunt to do her washing by offering to look after the little one.
She soon found out that if you didn't have a job in her grans you were given a few chores to do to help out. Her's we're helping with dinner, doing dishes or hoovering floors, they changed each day but she got bored after a few minutes so was usually left unfinished, this caused lots of rows because her aunts all pulled their weight even though they were out working, even the toddler knew his job was helping to tidy his toys away before dinner.

We've just given up telling her mum she needs to be more consistent, even her partner has told her to be stricter with them instead of running around after them. I think her mum's been trying to make up for what their Dad put them all through and as the eldest child she witnessed more so her mum thinks she needs more attention.
I don't know
