    I don't know if I should cry or scream.

    Took the rubbish bags out, came back to boys playing 'going to the tip' - this involves tipping every toy and book they own down the back of the snug sofa and the LR sofa.

    I am going back to work full time, at least there I can sack them if they are naughty.

    Dusty, we had a similar issue at my sons last school. A DVD was done then all hell broke loose when the woman who's ex was a previously convicted !!!!!! asked for 2 inc one for him. So from then on it was stopped. I can understand why as they really did nearly get into the wrong hands. My oldest sons new school however they are selling copies of the DVD to raise funds, so I have ordered one.

    Personally, ready to scream, every time his Mother is home we end up arguing, really got out of hand just now, thankfully DS2 was out of the way and he's now gone out. How can one woman cause so many problems? We're fine when she's not here! I'll have to go out when he gets back as he's refused to go and get the animal food in his tantrum. Waste of time and money but boys will be boys.

    Anyway, vacuuming done in kitchen, utility and dining room. Tidied sitting room, will wipe sofas in a mo then vacuum in there. Got upstairs to vacuum inc the 'white stuff' on the floor. DS2 in his wisdom threw his wet sheets off the bed onto his bean bag and soaked it so having to wash the cover, went to take the cover off and lots of white things escaped.

    Oh and for those with parking issues you have my sympathy, someone keeps blocking our drive inc until 11am this morning, at least I didn't have to go out urgently. Keep missing them going out so don't know which house they are staying at. Might have to resort to leaving a note on the car asking them politely to not block the drive completely.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    My favourite post had to be pigpen's middle room when she couldn't find the rabbits in the cage. She later posted to say it was ok as they could be seen through the window. Classic!

    School broken up. 245 children fed at the christmas party and a criminal amount of food thrown out. I'm going to my friends in half an hour to open a bottle and start christmas. Yeah! xx

    Nothing left!

    Bathroom painted :)

    Looks sooo much better. Don't know why I didn't think about doing it before!

    Sun's decided to come out so I think I might just go and wash the car and leave the tidying up of the bathroom until a little late (that's the trouble with decorating - you need to move everything out of a room - takes more energy than using the roller in my book)

    **Hides from Dusty**

    Got all this to look forward to, my other one finishes today. DS2 has just been annoying the dog instead of his brother.

    Just incase you think I am being petty about the car, it's back, I didn't see which house they went into but I am darn angry.

    Purple car is mine, I usually park the other next to it on the left, yep lamppost so no way of getting it off as it is reversed up as far as it will go. I can see DP going mental when he gets home as he had to park at the end of the street again last night. Moron can't park either, could have gone back another 2 foot there which might have left a chance of me being able to use one side of the drive.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
