He has the potential to be a wonderful young man but he is heading down the wrong path.. I've tried to guide him but he thinks he knows best :(

    Missing the warmth of the Aga so off to bed.

    Out at LSE all day tomorrow with DS2 so flying will be minimal but LR is the least messy room in this house, hence why you lot have it to do tomorrow!

    Morning all. Oops, had a bit of a lie in today, so I'm just going to whizz the hoover round downstairs to pick up OldDogs hair, then get dressed and walk the dogs before the paid stuff. On a plus note, I did the LR on Monday and did catch up with some of Mondays list yesterday.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Oh I think any of us with teenagers/older kids can relate to this. You do your best, bring them up properly, teach them right from wrong but at the end of the day its down to them. Hugs.

    Sitting here in PJs and dressing gown, havent even had a shower yet and I need to be off to work at half eight. Dont want to be bothered today. Will check in later, busy day at both jobs today.

    Morning all

    DS2 rang at 7:00 as he was not feeling well at the sleepover, DH went and got him, he is now in bed but will need to get up at 9 so we can get the train, hope he still enjoys the day.

    WM on
    Going to quickly clean the shower room then head for my shower (in the bathroom), get DS3 organised as my Mum is collecting him, wake up DS1 as he can DS2 and I to the station to save us walking (we have a lot of walking ahead of us today without the mile either end to the station).
