Good luck with the tetris.

I got up in the middle of the night to put the other finest one in the freezer.

I had only given one away. I had sort of planned to take one to DD1 as was not sure if I was going to visit this weekend but had a bungalow viewing this morning anyway. I just haven't been thinking straight at all this week.

Bless you ,
It will get easier , just takes time. How did the viewing go?

I've just had my nephew on the phone sobbing his heart out and I'm sat here in tears for him

He's staying with my brother this weekend. He's broke one of my brothers girlfriends sons toys, but he'd only tell me which one.

His mum is horrible. She only had kids for the benefits. She does nothing but yell at him constantly. I'm told that's all she did at Christmas too. For some reason she's got a bee in her bonnet about me and won't key me see him. So he was obviously scared to tell his dad about this toy because he's frightened he'll get yelled at. There has been fibbing going on.

Social services have been involved but about a different matter. As much as I don't want to, I think I'm going to have to get them involved again, but I need solid proof to go to them with and I can't get to see him unless it's through my brother.

I want him to have a better life than this, it's the least he deserves, but I can't do anything and I don't know what to do.

I'm going to go and see him in the morning, but a couple of hours isn't even going to scratch the surface.

What do I do?

I am just like that an end up giving more , last year we spoilt everyone but this year I have decided to give money as a few people upset me ..with comments that were relayed back to me like..well I bet she only gave me that cause she got it cheap or I wonder if that was free. It made me feel bad and thought well I shall just give them money and then they have the exact value staring at them..although I actually should just give them sod all :rotfl:

I usually give them money.. but do like giving presents. I think I may go back to money as my mum tells everyone in the family, I get everything for free... I think she believes my mortgage is for free and the gas, electricity and even the council tax! She is in the early stages of Alzheimer's, and just picks things up and takes them, she usually tells me she is taking them because they are free!!! I keep telling her they are not.. but this thought is stuck in her head. I have to retrieve things from her house... as one woman cannot use everything she steals!

getting myself wound up. DD gone out clubbing with a friend so hope I am not in for a night of worry. She is not really supposed to drink with her tablets but I know she will. I have promised I wont text or call her and then I wont worry when I dont get a response. I have put out a key for her and her friend and said i will see her in the morning. Why do us Mum's worry?

Im the same.I make sure my phone is on loud so she can get hold of me and she has to wake me up when she's home :rotfl:

No room in any of the freezers.

I am in the same situation, TS, but for freezers read freezer, and just the freezer section of a fridge freezer:eek:
I will be playing freezer tetris tomorrow, I think. The next step is to remove the Jus-Rol pastry from the boxes (keeping the codes of course); after that, not sure!
I've already claimed the available space in my Mum's freezer.:)
I'm actually considering getting an under-counter-type freezer (probably s/h off fleabay), but that just might encourage me to fill it unnecessarily (if there is such a thing). At least with limited space, it concentrates the mind on the bargains and glitches I really need.

What do I do?

Is he in a position to ring childline himself - do you see him on his own, can he get to a phone?
Also is there a teacher at school he trusts that he can talk to - school should be involved as well.
Such a bad position to be in, so sad.
