    Hugs bossy, have a glass to wind down and sit with a book or spend an hour on pintrest looking at sarcastic parenting pins. They always manage to raise a laugh for me
    Pigpen is right granny's might be very appealing when it's a treat and they are just there being spoilt and cosseted but I think granny would be appalled if she was told what had happened and she might not be so willing to let them get away with too much in future.
    Have a virtual hug.

  • Evening,

    I haven't flown today, it's been a bad day really, had some terrible news about a friend.

    Oh Bossy, hope you're having that wine. I know exactly where you are coming from. Mine are 8 and nearly 6(so I think similar ages to yours) and I swear some days they drive me bonkers, and the dog is more house trained.

    LW have a great holiday, I'm jealous, the fjords are on my wish list x

    Iona thanks for the advice about not panicking, I do write lists but they tend to be in a random order. I need to be more focused. I picked up a prescription today for iron tablets today, as my blood test results came back and I am quite anaemic. Hoping I will soon have boundless energy.

    Hi all x
    No flying here, by the time I got myself together, found and wrote out 70 quiz questions, HRH was in from school so I fed her and got ready for work. So I'm not long in from work absolutely shattered. Off to my bed now I'm a 8 am start :eek: but finish at 5 so will get some flying done when I get home.

    Good Morning all,

    I am dog tired today, been up half the night coughing and spluttering with this silly cough. On the plus side my to-do list is looking a lot shorter than it was, and we have been invited to a friend's for lunch so no midday cooking for me. So far I have:

    - Refereed an argument over a toot toot garage (children pushing me to my limits and it wasnt even 7am!)
    - Loaded DW and WM
    - Loaded car with stuff to take to chazza
    - Made a short shopping list

    Right, time to get DD ready for pre-school and surgically remove the ipad from DS.

    Bossy - I hope today is better

    xx
    MFW :)

    Morning all
    Hugs, good wishes, coping with what ever the day and the children throw at you vibes, along with sticks and spoons.
    Being optimistic I've hung a load of washing out as I've got work all day, sweetpeas have been tied up to their net as they've had a growth spurt in the recent rain, breakfast pots washed just got to straighten the settees then I'm about ready.
    Will dyson through and catch up with lists toninght.

    Have a good day all

    Edit
    Bossy just seen you are on strike, I hope it goes well and they learn quickly
