    Good afternoon:wave:

    I've been on a road trip with little man this morning, he's been up half the night with the sniffles, next door are having a garage built so noisy, anyway he fell asleep in the car:T:T result
    and I just happened to drive past a Ts superstore, rude not to go in:rotfl:
    Found lambs and bunnies still scanning at 4 for £1 or 60p each. Looked at the back of the shelf:Tfound 1 pk malteser bunnies and a 3 pack of milka bunnies in purple pk transparent at the front bar code..727642
    turned around and there were 3 clipstrips of lindor eggs so got 2 pks. Went to ss bunnies and eggs scanned at 1p :T:T
    Paid went back and got a few more, got pennies ready, heart beating, hands shaking, machine beeping :eek::eek: threw coin in slot. Yay I can't believe how scared/ nervous/ excited I was!

    Now where do I hide 22 pks without them melting! Mmmmm

    Also Ts mags by tills so got a couple :rotfl:of those too
    So if ure in the area of Hemsw0rth Ts, then there's loads of mags and 1 1/2 clips trips of lindor eggs!

    Wow you really are cramped! I hope the council sort something for you. We're lucky in that respect in that the council house we bought was a 3 bed but converted and extended to a 5 so we have enough space for all, even when DD1 comes with Maddie-Moo and hubby.

    If I haven't said before, all my children are step. I took all 5 on to give them a better home. I guess DS1 still resents me as he saw it as splitting his parents up. The harsh reality is that they'd been separated for 4 years but the H's ex has a nice way of blurring the truth to his own gain. Well, I guess he's getting what he wanted.

    We also have dd1 in her own room:eek:
    Ds1 often screams at dh "you're not my dad":rotfl: but fortunately our position is all he has ever known, so no blame for splitting up his dad and I.
    Ss and ds1 arguing, now that is a whole new level of arguing:eek:.


    The council are going to look in to our housing now we have social services letters. I don't want to move and we have such a huge garden, there is plenty of room to extend.... Fingers crossed:)

    Good morning, everyone. Another beautiful day here to add to yesterday that was truly beautiful. :j

    Good news - Potatoes and onions planted, top plot all dug and manured ready for beans and peas and other such goodies. Strawberries all transplanted, boxes laid for each child (of the group I run) to have a section of growing their own.

    The dads group went Ice skating - what a great time we all had. Only my second time skating but I was zooming round by the end. Tried to skate backwards a few times and landed on my aris! :rotfl: Really feeling it today though; I'm getting old.

    Dogs well and truly walked in the lovely heat. Terrapin surfing on his dock in the pond and all fish feeding well. Wife and DD2 went to see Iron Man 3 - her facebook (the DD that is) describes it as "Epic" so it must've been good; she does have a thing for RDJ though! :rotfl:

    Bad News - Things have become unmanageable with DS1. He has been more than abusive to OH and she's had enough. It has become a war zone in our house with everyone suffering whilst DS1 takes his anger out on all of us. No manner of punishment or reward works. OH told him to pack his stuff. Looks like he's moving to his Dad's during the summer holidays. I can say this honestly - I really am completely mixed about it. On one hand I'm sending a boy away that I love dearly to be with, well, a less than capable adult but on the other hand I'm making OH, DD1, 2 and 3 and DS2's lives easier. I'm so mixed with it I have cold sores all over, my hairs falling out faster than ever and I'm a bag of nerves. Not to mention the rage I feel that I really am struggling with whenever he talks to OH like she's a piece of ****. If it was anyone but my own child, they'd be flat out. :mad:

    FloFlo - I'm unsure of what your first day back is of, but good luck with whatever it may be!

    TinyShoes, Nannylala et Lala all and HopePray. xx :A Thoughts and hugs with you as always. :A

    I hope everyone has a great day. Reflecting on this morning's news about the girls in Ohio; some good does come from bad situations. I do hope they're able to move on with their lives - something we all have to do at times. :)

    So sorry to hear this, hope at some point your son's anger becomes under control, but at this point it may be for the best fopr him to move to his father's:(

    Oh, just to add to my bad news. With all the turmoil going on I just looked and I have missed my Chateaubriand Groupon expiry so the OH is less than happy and I got to Toys R Us 20 minutes after closing yesterday rendering my 5 x £10 vouchers useless as they expired! :mad::mad:

    Just got back from two different Mr T's after getting very angry at the first. Managed to find some Haribo bunny mix and Malteasers bunnies. Total- 3 bags. I was also buying some prosecco there. SA saw they were scanning at 1p, called over her supervisor and then they took them from me and refused to sell them. I was furious. The SA then claimed they couldn't sell them because they were actually earmarked for 'charity'. Utter bullcarp.

    My Mum used to work in Mr T's and she said they get more money for 'wasting' the stock than they do for selling them to customers. I was livid so my Ma very kindly offered to drive me to another Mr T's. I got three bags of mini eggs for 3p and used the self service. Lesson learnt!

    Having a really rubbish day actually- amazing job I was up for has been 'filled internally' :(

    Do you have the barcode for these please? I scanned them this morning and they were 60p in one of the Ts I visited. Haribo Spring Mix thingys? were £1.20 -30ish
