Thanks everyone.

His room is now tidy again and the turtles have been cleaned out. I don't think they touched them but just to be on the safe side we cleaned the tank.
Ds is a lot calmer now everything is back in place. In some ways it better (sorry cant think of a better word than better) that it happened in his room and not dds. As now it is back to normal, in his head it is over. If they had got in dds room she would be going on about it for ever.
Thanks for the offer of VS Gettingtherequickly but I think we will be ok.

My Dad is coming over tomorrow to help clear out the camper and has said he will give ds £100 of the money. I have given him £120 this evening. He owed me some money for his phone contract and some bits I got him last week, so we are now all straight.

We have decided not we're not going camping over the Bank holiday now because
A I am £200 down on yesterday.
B dd could work that weekend and earn nearly £100
C we don't need to go in the school holidays.

We are going to see about going in September. It will give me a couple of weeks to save some of the money back. It will also be quieter.

I am now off to clean the bathroom as it smells of fish,where we cleaned the tank out. And I really don't feel like doing it. But I need a shower and would like to smell of mango when I get out not seaweed.:rotfl:

Gotta laugh or you'd cry.

Sorry to hear you've been burgled. I'm glad you all seem to be recovering from the shock xoxox

Sorry to hear about the break in OMO, glad your ds is doing ok, and the rest of the family.

I can't believe how many noises this house makes. I've been upstairs twice tonight to check what the bang/creak was. My weapon of choice is a can of fly spray. I must look like a complete nutter creeping round with my finger ready to spray. My thinking is it would temporally blind them, giving me enough time to run back downstairs for help. :rotfl:

Hello! Waves back! I'm very well thank you. Been a busy week this week both in work and out so I've been a bit quiet on the mse front. I'm off to the shops tomorrow hoping I can find some bargains for pressies. I do hope I find a few things!

OMO - I'm so so sorry to hear what's happened! It's absolutely disgusting! I hope things are sorted as soon as possible for you.

Evening everyone,
OMO im so sorry to hear your horrid news, the b"*"*"*s, hope it doesnt knock DS back a bit after he has been doing so well lately, hopefully like you say in his head its over, which is the best way to deal with it, i can only imagine the shock and the jumpiness, i know my sister is a right tough cookie and it really got to her when she was burgled, they need b****y stringing up!
MRSINVISIBLE your mini trip sounds fab, your DGS has a wonderful nanna

FEISTY how did DH hosp appt go?

ETA just to let anyone who is interested know QVC christmas is on this month on Sunday 25th August just had an email :xmassmile

OMO, so saddened to read about your burglary. The rotten lowlifes who do this have no idea of the impact their actions have. They also will never know the support and love those they harm share, so whatever they take they are the losers, and are so much poorer.

As for my three year old son, he is currently lego mad. But it costs a fortune!!! Ive been scouring websites, supermarkets and the likes of home bargains, but so far have not been able to pick any up on the cheap. If anyone sees any offers please keep me posted.

August 1st tomorrow peeps!!!!!

Hi Lukesmom. My DDs are also Lego mad, so I'm always on the look out too. Argos start their 3 for 2 on all toys today & if you spend £25 or over on Lego you get a £5 gift voucher. Have a look through your stores clearance section too. All offers should work together.

Good morning all. This is the first time I've been on for a while, just been so busy & I'm not a fan of this weather we've been having. Nice & cool this morning though

Christmas prep is the furthest it's ever been along ... EVER! Have a growing pile of stocking fillers picked up from £1 shop & online sales. Got a couple of Horrible Histories books in there the other day. I tend to pop in every few days before or after work just to see what's new. I am struggling with teenage son presents though. Picked up a student cookbook but that's it so far. He's only into xbox, football & money.

Also keeping an eye out for all things Christmas on the TV. Currently have the one off drama 'Christmas Lights' from ITV on demand sat on the planner at the moment (Might watch it tomorrow with a big, fat roast dinner ) Have never watched the Christmas on QVC ... disappointed I missed that

Just caught up on the last page. Sorry to hear your news OMO. There are some rotten people out there.
