Morning lovely people - weather is a bit iffy, sunshine and then windy.

I shut down the main computer last night so would have minimal distraction this morning, still not powered up.

Visitor due on Wednesday do this is my one day for getting ready, it's taken me 5 hours so far - stripped and remade 3 beds so visitor has a choice of bedrooms, 2 washing loads as a result, cleared bathroom of dryed laundry and undies and stuffed as much as I could back into the wardrobe so visitor does not make comments about all the clothes hanging around making the bedrooms look like a tarts boudoir , rearranged things in the stash under the bed, under the stairs and the food cupboard incase visitor has a inspection and checks the expiry dates, made a pile for foodbank, Oxfam and freecycle - study now looks a mess with various piles in readiness.

Another pile of items accumulated from the stash requested by visitor :rotfl:
Vacuumed

As much as you love them visitors twice a year is more than plenty
Now enjoying a cup of tea while I catch up, them another while I read back, then another cup of tea while I write letter for eldest son - now back in Cyprus with no wi fi, hour long phone calls not quite the same so I write old fashioned letters every week :T

The main question today is are we off to visit Asda this afternoon?

Sounds like mother in law visiting behaviour ! Kids used to ask when I was rushing about like nutter "who's coming !" :rotfl:

You spelt my nickname wrongly. There's a space between the 9 and the inch - so you need to stretch it out a bit

Why sorry Sir. One space or 2 :rotfl:

Yes it does get better but only when they get to about 25 and have done about 6 years of college and uni and a few years of working and they live at least 2 hours away and at least 2 trains
Then they are lovely - you can Skype and they ring every week and exchange visits a few times a year.
By that stage they also love getting £3 tops from the charity shop and a spending spree is £70 in Primark :j

Good morning everyone.

What a morning I have had already.

DS1 has missed the bus on purpose, we had an argument last night over buying clothes!!!!!!! He wants all expensive designer stuff he is 14, we only bought him new tracksuit bottoms about 3 weeks ago and the are half way up his leg already. So I said could we just buy him some cheap ones from sports soccer for him to mess around in for over the summer holidays, and he has gone up the wall at me. Starts ranting and raving at us so I took his phone off him last night.

So this morning he spends ages in the shower, comes down messes around with his breakfast then sits at the table saying he not going to school until he gets his phone back. I tell him he not getting it until he starts behaving and not ranting at us. He walks out, but has missed the bus.

So now I have got to take him the 6 miles to school in the car, but not before I take my other DS to school and then walk the dog, I have phoned the school and told them the argument and why he has done it and they laughed and said what a !!!!!! he is lol.

Kids dont you just love/hate them, and I got to put up with this for 6 weeks, I am going to be pulling my hair out this year.

Please tell me it gets better.
