mily, unfortunately a lot of it will just be her age, but it could also be all the changes- Daddy not being there full time, TLM, etc. You're right, you just have to try to be consistent and show her that she's very much loved.
My DD sometimes bursts into tears, flees to her room, slams the door and then howls loudly and pointedly, just from being told "No".
I'm expecting that she'll become a world famous Shakespearean actress when she's older Grin

Do you have a suitably evil looking soft toy, flame? Could you do a ransom photo with said soft toy threatening hat with blender or similar? You can always sew sequins on it another time, once you know he likes it and it fits!

FairyLightsForever · 17/11/2010 11:24

I think I have to much time on my hands!

Flame · 17/11/2010 11:28

You're talking to a woman holding a hat hostage... You have nothing to worry about.

What shall I ask for? He's due round tonight I think so maybe wine or chocolate?

Remotew · 17/11/2010 11:32

Elasta, sounding good!

Good luck KDK.

Just realised that I must be the only original from thread 1 who still hasn't found anyone Sad.

Remotew · 17/11/2010 11:32

Flame, both, silly!

Hi all Part 27 wow this moves fast.

Elasta Yay for the date it sounds like you had a great time and sounds very promising him asking to meet again whilst on date.

Mily The only thing that has ever worked with my two ds's is timeout in the hallway super nanny style.I have always struggled with controlling their behaviours though esecially ds1(asd) which in turn affects ds2.I have to say they are improving a little since DG has been about.

Aurora sorry i think i've deleted your email and cant remember your name could you pm me again please.

DG is away tonight and Exp is still causing stress i just can't wait until christmas is over to move to be honest.

aurorastargazer · 17/11/2010 12:30

BeauticianNotMagician · 17/11/2010 13:07

I was supposed to be at work today but once again everything went wrong.Aside from DG my life is a bit of a disaster at the moment and i haven't even really thought about christmas at all.No idea what to get everyone or if i will even have the funds.

Have any of you started your christmas shopping?Sorry to go a bit off topic but i'm looking for inspiration.

Remotew · 17/11/2010 13:37

BNM I've just started to think about it. My funds are low but there is a bit of money in reserve. Salary doesn't provide for Christmas/Holidays. I am thinking about Amazon/Debenhams and Very all online. Will have a trip out to trea myself a new dress, lunch and a browse around.

FairyLightsForever · 17/11/2010 13:49

I've got a couple of things for DD's xmas, but am psyching myself up for DS's... he wants lego and it's lots of £££.
Haven't really thought about anyone else.

Flame · 17/11/2010 15:22

I need to get sorted with Christmas.

Playgroup now think i am insane. They all helped me make the ransom note though. Just praying it was the right house... not seen it in daylight before.

Still getting lots of texts from Earl. its nice to be talking to someone easy again. Its annoying it is my weekend with the children or I would sort something properly with him.

Flame · 17/11/2010 15:23

Not heard back from blender pic btw. Will upload them later

aurorastargazer · 17/11/2010 16:03

it's been a struggle here for christmas too Sad have you thought about ebay? as long as you know what the prices are in the shops, you can still get some things new and cheaper Smile

bnm - your boys are so sweet in their pic!

BeauticianNotMagician · 17/11/2010 17:24

Makes me feel a bit better knowing that you aren't all sorted for christmas glad im not the only one.Lots of offers on and i'm waiting for the next Boots advantage day on 25th for £12 of points which will give me a decent amount on my card to hopefully save for the sales.

Aurora Thank you.They do have their sweet moments but you can probably tell how cheeky they are from their grins haha.Love the yoghurt pic.

Flame · 17/11/2010 18:50

I have no idea who I have on FB now and who I don't! I will add whoever has added their name on here, and will post on Lou's wall who I am!

Text about blender was that he is impressed with my dedication to the cause...

Flame · 17/11/2010 19:06

I added a couple of people that KDK added recently - assuming they are you lot Wink

mummyilubyou · 17/11/2010 19:18
