    Your thread has given me hope taxi hun.

    My DD isnt being very nice at the moment - she's 11 and it's a mixture of exam pressure (SATS) and hormones.

    Heres hoping that theres light at the end of the tunnel and she turns out as nice as your daughter :beer:

    Hi Taxi,

    Hope you enjoyed your day. Your thread inspired me to make a nice card for my mum and pop it in the post with a couple of really nice Lancome samples I was going to put on eBay. She's not having a great time at the moment so I thought it would be nice to try and cheer her up. She lives miles away from me so I won't see her until August and although we talk on the phone, it's not the same, is it?

    Thank you (and your daughter) for reminding me to look after my mum :)

    Glad you had a lovely day taxi and really glad your DD bought something for your sweetheart of a hubby too. You know we all think he's a diamond! :)

    Enjoy your new nails!

    I'm with you there spud, my son is also doing SATS this week, and the mixture of that and his sisters hormones is causing a little stress in the hypno house (as if we didn't have enough already :rotfl: )

    Aww that's so lovely! My eldest daughter (15) looks at me with contempt whilst straightening her hair at the moment so don't think I'll be in your position for a few years yet!!

    There's hope for you all yet as DD was a nightmare teenager ....from 11-17 she was a horror....and I mean bad as in clubbing and experimenting with drugs...you wouldn't believe it now...we have had tough times with her but to be honest a murder of a close relative really started it

    Well, how are you doing with the glam nails? When I used to get mine done I'd find myself holding my hands quite differently so I could keep admiring them! Glad you enjoyed the pampering!

    Goodness taxi, the murder of your relative must have been a terrible experience for all of you.

    I'm so glad to hear that awful teenagers can turn into lovely young women. I will hold your daughter in my head to reassure me when mine behave like Kevin the teenager.
