Sorry - a three foot mound on her bed?

And so glad @pointythings that you are missing the trend - have a fabulous holiday!

I’ve found it!!!!!

Between the bed and the side of a completely covered bedside cabinet.

In the meantime her bed had been piled high with a three mound of crap to sort (and it’s a double bed!).

She has been warned no social media until it’s cleared and if she wants music to listen to it’s radio or cd’s only. And clothes she has to fully launder inc ironing, and anything not for wash has to be ironed before putting away, and everyone the bed has to go away to MY standards until she’s done.

She’s so grateful it’s been found so far none of this is an issue.......!

Well, I'm breaking the pattern because I'm on a lovely term time holiday with my DDs. That's the joy of having your youngest finish GCSEs and the oldest her A levels...

Yesterday was really rough, DD2 was laid up in exhaustion most of the day having overdone it on prom day and then having had the journey. But today was a really good day so we went to the zoo and she has played some badminton.

Tomorrow will be a beach day, so a nice mix of the lazy and the active. Weather looks set fair for at least the next week. We're having a lovely time.

Oh Fos I totally get it- welcome to my world 😭
Dd lost her key yesterday. DH overseas with work with 2nd key. DS still on boys holiday and I had to lock her out because I have a hospital appt.she left in a mood because I wouldn’t give her mine!
I’m now running around like a blue ass fly as we go on holiday tomorrow.I'm totally fed up. When I questioned why her bed wasn’t made I was yelled at with “ you know I’ve had no life for the last 4 months” I really had to hold my tongue!
Hope everything calms down for you! Sending you hugs x

Entire? Evening to

Oh, and I can’t even go for a walk either at lunchtime or in an entire calm down as I have something of value in the house and i’m scared stiff that the key has been lost out of the house so am having to bring it with me to work in my handbag and have it with me at all times.
I don’t think she realises just what a PITA this is for me

Need to vent/calm down!
Have been asking dd to sort out her room/study/old uniform and has she done it - no.
Everywhere is a shit tip, she’s disappeared on NCS wk 2, and whilst I was at work announced that the key she said she’d find hasn’t turned up. I have a mountain of jobs to do every evening this week including time sensitive stuff and now I have to find this blasted key - and to complicate matters ‘I think I saw it last in the house’.
We’re away in three weeks time - she can pay for a bloody locksmith if it doesn’t turn up.
Neither shower is working, the kitchen ceiling needs repainting because of said shower, I have 2 hours to make up at work, home stuff and now this.
I want to cry

Iambuffy DD1 regularly drives DD2 around and about now, odd to see them disappearing off down the road together. Always have that little flutter of concern. Silly really, but I can't help it.

buffy we have been told to rest but also pace - so exercise in moderation to build up, don't overdo it when you're having a good day, good sleep routines. If you have ideas that might help please do let me know - I'm open to pm. I'm also asking DD2 to contact my late H's cousin, who also has fibro and lives a full and happy life with it. However, I don't want to pressure her - she's 2 days into knowing this and needs time to process.

DD2's A level choices have been fixed for a while now, she just needs to get the grades. She's very likely to. We're on holiday now - prom was yesterday, she had a lovely time and got lots of compliments on her dress.

But we need the time to come to terms with the diagnosis we got on Thursday - she has fibromyalgia and is going to have to make a lot of changes to enjoy life to the max.

Oh no! Hopefully just name changed

Soursprout has completely gone :-( How sad. All her messages have disappeared. I hope nothing terrible happened. She was a lovely poster.

Bimkom- it’s a really good idea to hunt eBay! We’ve just purchased a stack of reading material. Thankfully not in your situation as Dd staying on for 6th form at school but can imagine the stress! I’m still trying to be positive her Alevel choices, chosen because she loves the subjects, (with the exception of maths) will lead her somewhere!

Silent- Dd sat cie English Lit , Lang. and German. The individual passwords were issued from cie. Not that it’s s big deal but seems unreasonable your Dd will need to wait when the school will already have the results on the 13th. It was a stomach churning moment though as Dd clicked through and we both stared at the screen! Like a silent rehearsal

Arewedone DD's school doesn't seem to do that, they haven't mentioned it anyway. I think they must hold on to the results and issue them together on the standard results day. In fact as they have so many boards, I am assuming the school consolidated them all and issues the results in one email...... that's what I am expecting anyway. DD did Biology and English CIE.
