    ARGHHH!!!! Why has my 3 1/2 year old taking to peeing on the bathroom floor:confused: . She did it a couple of times last week and I just put it down to being to involved in what she was doing and leaving it too late. Everyday this week she has done it too. Today she went in plenty of time to get on the loo but instead the floor is covered:mad: . I am not sure whether to just sort it out matter of fact or shout at her. First few times it was an accidents happend lets chance your clothes but a see a pattern forming.

    Anyway, wee mopped up and floor about to be disinfected - glad I hadnt got round to that this am or I would have been pee'd off:rotfl:

    Michelle glad your taking advantage of the chance to have a rest. Look after yourself honey!

    Well, I've done the understairs cupboard.
    • I've emptied it, swept it, cobwebbed it and mopped it within an inch of it's life.
    • Washed all the picnic stuff (big stuff by hand, small stuff in fastwash DW)
    • Generally tidied and dejunked it - you wouldn't believe how many cleaning cloths I've got (own, and two inheritances:rotfl:)
    • Emptied WM and hung up washing
    Now it's lunch time before DS's lessons. I'll put the casserole in the oven then and sit and sew the hem on a throw that my 12 year old collie (should know better :mad:) had a nibble on.

    Not bad going though. I'm pleased with the cupboard though because I don;t think I;ve done it properly since we moved in (3years on 14th Jan) :o

    I'll do a chicken dinner tonight so salad for lunch so I can save points for a yorkie pud :D

    Well nothing is going right today. Everything I planned to do at work hasn't happened as other things have got in the way including an unexpected cover lesson. It's now nearly the end of lunch and I feel exhausted and I still have a lesson with yr 11 to get through before I go home. Really need to prepare myself for this as it will involve mass nag again about coursework.
    Am calling at Range on my way home as I need to get some bits for a very special card I'm making for Friday.
    Better go and get sorted.....bye
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    I feel very dittery today.

    You know, walking about, head in the clouds, humming a wee tune then going 'Oh, what am I doing here?' and wandering off to put the kettle in the fridge.

    Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs.. - still clean from decorating

    Vacuum mattress before replacing with fresh linen, air the bed if possible

    Not that much to do in the bedroom, as still pretty empty. I have done the weekly shopping - £118!:eek: I'm still in shock. I've also done some more freecycling, four things have already been collected this morning, and another two to go today, and one tomorrow. Then three trips to and from the school, delivering all three children (at different times) and then taking in the things they'd forgotten...

    I was hoping to do some gardening, as I sneaked in half an hour tidying the border where the snowdrops are about to come out, but it's gone all grey out there.

    Must get back to the garage, and I should really do a run down to the tip as well.

    kaz - hugs re DD. I'm currently having fun and games with mine. Seems that she has grounds to complain to Social Services, or the NSPCC or the European Court of Human Rights, as I have been totally unreasonable not to say outright cruel, insisting that 10pm is a fair time to be in bed during the school week, and that I will not give my consent to have her nose pierced. (In fact, if she has it done without my consent, I shall be making a formal complaint to Trading Standards, the police, and anyone else I can think of! I admit, I do have a real horror of body piercing, and only just about tolerated her having her ears done...) I could mention the additional abuse of suggesting that she'll get better marks in her GCSE's if she draws up a revision plan now and actually does some work...

    g&b - re your LO, hugs for you both
    bebee - glad DD home, best wishes for her recovery.
    AnW's mum - hugs

    rach - Very, very best wishes for Saturday, have a brilliant and very happy day!!!

    Oooooh, just a quick post, haven't caught up with the pages yet! Just bought a magic eraser from JML and it actually worked!!! Where do I post to review it? Definitely worth buying. Just got all the scuffs off my front door, gloss and even some of Owen's blood (don't you just love three-in-the-morning nosebleeds???) of the wall in the hall!
