    Hello Mrs Hypno, hope you have a lovely weekend. :)Don't suppose you could do something to sort the FTSE 100 out could you?? :D

    Ooh, if only! I love my job - never know from one day to the next just how much things are going to fall.....the excitement of a red screen just keeps me going!!

    It must be rather stressful in your line of work Hypno, to say the least. My shares went down almost 30p each yesterday - I've been frantically trying to pay chunks of my loan prior to the sharesave maturing, but the losses of the last few days have completely wiped out all my efforts. :rolleyes:

    I am relying on you to sort it all out by the end of October! :D

    Guys I need some ideas.

    Stu and Ryan have a bit of an up and down relationship - they love each other very much, but they argue quite a bit and I end up playing referee. So my idea (which they both agree with) is to get them to do an activity together, to encourage them to bond. I can't think of many ideas though. It could be a regular thing, or a one-off. Ryan has suggested camping (he saw a boy camping with his Dad on the Kingsmill advert!), and I said they could sleep in the camper one night when it's a bit warmer, but I'm trying to think of other suggestions.

    Ryan doesn't like football very much, otherwise I would get them to kick a ball around the garden together.

    Dads - what do you do with your kids? (Mums, what do your husbands/partners do with the kids?)

    Hmm tricky one. Hows about the park? Pack them a picnic, send them off to a park with a big climby slidy thing. Swimming? Get them to sort out the attic together - should throw up loads of memories and/or talking points.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!
