Fessing up...

Other than the dailies.. the children are home.. not helping and I am peeing in the wind.. I will deal with their mess next week when they are back to school.. I have just found a school letter and they aren't back until Tuesday.. but at least 3 go back on Monday.

I simply cannot keep track of everything when they are here.. the whole house is trashed.. bar the middle room, which we can't use as there is nothing in it.. literally!! Strange saying that as that was the messiest room in the house until last week.. now it is the girls room!

I will try to do some sorting.. I can sort and fling.. then next time there is less stuff to make a mess with!

Thank you!!! I was wondering why I can't seem to get anything done - constant feeding means the kitchen is continually being swept and wiped -can't seem to get out of that room and onto others... may as well make some cookies while I am here then?

oh no see what happens when you go turning out the kids wardrobes? Middle daughter needs to have bras now I think. She is in year 7 but such a little dot. She still wears 10 year old clothes and is 12 in a couple of weeks. I feel sorry for her really. 13 year old is already in a 34D and she hates it. Its my legacy to my children lol

Sharon_1970_2

7 kids!!!! OMG how on earth do u stay sane????????

prettypennies - *hugs* I know exactly where your coming from. I was only complaining to my parents last night how OH had peed me off over money this month....:rolleyes:

My OH has only has his own place for just under 5 years.. hes 32 this year....before that he was in forces/lived at home/was au pair in france so never had bills etc to pay. Hes totally and utterly s**t with bills and the responsbility of having to pay for household things! He has NO concept at all of paying them....That i know of in the past 5 years hes had repossession papers for his house 4 times from not paying the mortgage! He also owes the council about 3/4 years of council tax and i wont even GO there with his other debt for bills etc.... yet still buys ciggies/junk food/phone credit/electronic boys toys....

He always borrows off me every single month to get through the month despite earning more than double what my income from maternity allowence is...... hes just left to go the hospital now and as i handed him the money for the carparking he said.. "sorry for asking again but i get paid monday! How much have i borrowed this month and i'll pass you it back?" ... he nearly died when i said "£180" :rolleyes: :mad:

(He owes £4k on my credit card too which hes meant to give me £150 a month for but for last 6 months hes given me it and then borrowed it back.. plus more!! )

So im right there with you on the :mad: :mad: :mad: @ money and OHs feeling!

Bunny is at vet at 5pm and I am off collecting again tonight.. if it isn't raining.. which it isn't likely to be. it is all sunny here!

Best ring the hubby and remind him!

Collecting this week almost covered vets bills for bunny.. DS1 asked for £4 so he can go out later.. and I need to ring his employer who seems to this he does voluntary work!
