Thanks pigpen. Hopefully I'll get lots done tonight. Your children look very sweet, by the way. As stressedsteph has just said I will not complain anymore about my 2 girls! Not until I pick them up from school anyway!!!
I really don't know how you do it. You are a real inspiration. Anyway, as I'm at work I really should do some!!!!!

G&B/SS - can I just tell you, it gets better for a while and then it goes rapidly downhill. DD is 14 and I refuse to tidy her room. She finally tidied it last night. She can vacuum it when she gets in from school. Oh I'm so harsh!

Dont tell me that:eek: When she's old enough i will employ bribery, 'you can get your pocket money when you have tidied your room etc'. If that doesnt work i'll lock her in and not let her out til its done:rotfl:

Fairly productive morning here even withtwo hanging about. Have had a very mixed morning emotional wise, firstly I think we may have sold the house someone who viewed over the weekend has offered verbally which we have accepted its now down to the solicitors to sort out the finer points and secondly unfortunately the dog was attacked by two very large chocolate labs hes okay very frightened but then again so was I didnt know who to protect first the kids or him, the other dogs owner was useless a tiny women who had no chance of controlling him. Anyway as we had to pass the vets to come home they had a quick check of him and hes okay they took the details of the dogs in case there are any other incidents.

I am another who will clear out the undie and sock drawer today not sure on the age of some but definetly no where near the 15 years already quoted.

Hello I have been trying to get online, you''ll probably have seen the thanks button being used but it's being a pain when I try to post. So a quick catch up, galantvr4 hope your bruises aren't too sore, welcome to all the newbies aswell as the 'oldies' jjef fingers crossed for the house sale and hope pooch is ok. We have to watch Megan like a hawk now because in her od age she's getting grumpy with other dogs but I wouldn't dream of allowing her offlead where other dogs are because of that.

Went out last night, I drank LOTS, but wasn't drunk :rotfl: no hangover either. Went through to the Gate in Newcastle, cost me quite a bit but going out for the first time in a year I don't think I should moan. Cocktails and lots of them

Right, well bedroom day is still Wednesday for me but so you don't think I am a complete rebel I did remove floordrobe, junk, cleared some rubbish, sent DP up with some stuff for the loft (no I don't care that it's his birthday!!! and he's now vacuuming the car!!!) and cleared the landing

Oh and I've done the kitchen because it's Monday

Thats great news on the house front jjef, not such good news on the dog front. I really hate people who have dogs they cannot control, its so dangerous. Glad you enjoyed your meal at the weekend, i may have to try the Herbe Bistro now, if i ever get some free time:rolleyes:

She's not actually the worse! I picked her up from her friends house and her mum showed me her bedroom to try and shame her. I asked DD what the horrible smell was (once we got home). She fessed up that her friend didnt like her tea one night, so just wrapped it up in a magazine and forgot about it. It was fish. :eek: :eek: :eek: Euwww!!!!Teenagers are just revolting!!
