    Hello, may I please sneek back in? :o
    My house isn't too bad, I've been keeping on top of everything, but not done a really thorough clean for a while. I won't be able to do the bathroom this week thou, but I do have a good excuse. My ceiling is collapsing!! :eek:
    I think there is a leak in the flat above, the landlord is getting a builder round in the next day or two, he's going to rip down the soaked artex & leave it to dry for a week before repairing.

    Hi

    I'm in again. I actually feel like i have achieved something this week that i haven't managed for a while.

    I'm going shopping tommorow for summer clothes for the boys as Tesco have 20% off t-shirts, shorts and cropped trousers. I bet it ended today or something now.:rolleyes: . I'm also going to go to Home Bargains which i never seem to have time to go to but everyone says it's fabulous. So i don't know how much i'll get done off my list but i'm going to give it my best shot whilst i've got some energy back.:rolleyes:

    Hope your head is better in the morning Nicki.

    Well, I've sat with my feet up for the whole of Foyle's War and OH even brought me a cup of tea.

    Dustykitten - I know you're right, but this family is something else. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing physical going on, but I would say it definitely constitutes psychological and financial abuse. If any of my candidates told me something like this was going on with a resident in their care home, I would be advising them to contact CSSIW. We're just on countdown till her birthday, hence the redecorating push at the moment. GF's confidence/self image is so low that she doesn't want to be a burden/inconvenience anyone, so if there is a room ready, she won't feel in the way.

    Anyway, bubble bath is calling me, so I'm off for a bath and bed. Goodnight all.

    I'm in, how much I don't know with the next assignment due date looming!

    Davgirl, I am jealous! My DSs are dying to go to Florida, every penny I get at the mo is saved up for that, DS2 wants to go to Disney and DS1 due to his sea life obsession of course wants to go to Sea World, 3 weeks there would be a dream, think we'll be trying to save up for 2. I just hope it's worth it!

    soappie well done :)

    Pink Fairy, once she's 16 it'll probably go straight to her, then they'll have no choice!

    Dusty, when we had the check done they never mentioned that, both boys have a PC and TV in their rooms, TV in mine aswell. They do however never get left on standby, my pet hate!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
