Without sounding really netmums and cheesy....
wanted to say thanks for your advice to get my runaway ds a wrist strap, I did it! I got some this week, he's been on it once, hw wasn't overly impressed, and now just the mere whiff of wrist strap has him back by my side!!!!!! HORRRAYYYYYYY! Did not have to contend with embarassing and undignified anneka rice style race through centre of town today to retrieve him!!
Have also started one of those pasta jar reward systems at home (also read about that working on someone elses thread on here) and OMG, he is like different child, NO tantrums today at all! He turned round to me today and looked so pleased when he said " I am being a very good boy today aren't I Mummy?"
So THANKS, EVERYONE, I am so much less stressed today than I was last week!!!
