Very sad news Narco. ((Hugs)) x

Well done bossy for sticking it out. And I'd stay in bed as well - it's wild out there apart from anything else.

Hope everyone is keeping safe and warm. Or is it just here where it is blowing a gale and the rain is battering at the windows?

Hugs for you Narc0. Such a sad time for all concerned

Bossy, I feel your pain. Tiny has been just dreadful today - excelling himself by stripping naked and having a poo in the Wendyhouse at preschool, opening his cousin's birthday card and present with the kitchen scissors (obtained by balancing on the open door of the under-counter fridge) then peeing on the floor in the lounge and hiding his wet pants and trousers under my new sofa cushions :eek::mad: He went to bed without any dinner.

Breathe.......

Came home after a rather stressful day of babysitting work experience kids who didn't manage to find themselves a placement in the short period of a year they'd been given to do it, along with getting trapped in a cupboard for ten minutes because the door handle broke off on the inside, only to find Himself in a full blown meltdown about several million things topped off by dropping the ridiculously expensive energy saving light bulb and smashing it when dealing with the fitting.

Ugh. Didn't need to have to deal with that as soon as I walked in through the door. I wasn't going out again to get food, so persuaded him to help me bake some bread in the hope it would calm him down and I'd get something to eat without spending a fortune on takeaway.

Fortunately, it worked, the bread came out perfect and we had bread and homemade jam for tea, which was just as well, because I'm too wiped out to do - or deal with - anything else. As it was, whilst he was in mid stress, I managed to clear the countertop of random items, clean it, sweep the floor, get the oven on low, find the flour and bits, get the scales, mixing bowl, baking tray and measuring spoons out, feed the cats, sort them out two perching spots so they could supervise without getting trodden on and sort out the warm water. And it took roughly 30 seconds to clean up at the end. I don't quite understand how he can make so much mess in the kitchen that it looks like a bomb's hit it every single day. It's got to improve when I go on this medication, as I'll more vulnerable to coming down with bugs when taking it and I'm not prepared to trust anything that comes from the kitchen as it stands. Oh, and I sorted out another nice bed for the cat with a horrid jumper I was given. Then adjusted it because the cat wasn't quite happy with how it was arranged.


I'm starving hungry now, though. I know I could do with losing some weight, but a couple of slices of bread a day isn't really food in my opinion. And I'm not particularly impressed with my day.

Morning all
Gentle supporting hugs to narco and all affected, so sad and unfair.
Hugs good wishes and posi vibes to all who need/want them.

Been round mils yesterday more cleaning done, gardener arranged, birthday meal booked and new chair cover put on.
Neighbour's sons friends trousers mended, half sewn a zip into Dh s old rucksack need to finish that today. Spent ages last night giggling over the wedding booth photos now they are online.

It's been blowing a hoolie here all night and rain was coming down horizontal when we do the open mic runs with ds1, ds2 had to walk home from work as he could t stay upright on his bike-I had told him not to take it.
Need to iron, do first module test today and make a start on some knitted bits for the hospital. Only in work at lunch so it's achievable.

Have a good day all xx

Morning!

Well I must have slept through any storm - having been out it doesn't look like it was ever here, lol, thank heavens the bins didn't blow over!

Kiddies remember a little humility this morning, all very pleasant, with a ban of DS taking any food out of the kitchen as he is still forgetting the existence of bins. But much more peaceful and pleasant. They asked why we have no sweets and I said they can have some when I've had at least 3 days of no poor attitude

Just had a glitter explosion while lifting DDs papers out of her thingy. We have wall mounted document / leaflet holders above my desk and I pop their nicer drawings and bits of work along with certificates etc in there. Every now and then, we empty them and some get stuck in their scrap books (saves me having to keep every picture). Well I just emptied them and I've now got glitter in my cup of tea, lol.

Need to replace the window film in the garage / den. It has bubbled and creased - probably due to being in full sun all morning, but it is nice and bright and warm in here.

Also need to dust and vac everywhere !!!
