D'ya ever wonder if you could still do the twist and not actually wet yourself in the process?

New thread my friends xxx

His teacher.

I'm supposed to be grateful for that.

Very hard when he's come in from school, tipped 3 toy boxes out and pulled all the books off the shelf in the lounge. The twins are now copying him more and more.

Im hiding in the kitchen so I don't completely lose the plot. Dh isn't back from work until late and I've already screamed at them like a fish wife to tidy up.

Have had to take kids to my parents before I really lose the plot.

is he good at school and a nightmare at home? might be good to let his teacher see his behaviour at home? Poor you xx

Hi all. can I join you all in your misery
DH decided not to go for the job, as the money wasn't much better, and he would have to work weekends, fair enough, but I wish he would stop moaning about his current crap job and DO SOMETHING! ! He's making no effort to find something else, then blaming me because I haven't printed out the CV I spent ages re - vamping. I told him to look at different jobs and I will then t week the cv to suit the role before I print out, otherwise it's a total waste
Boys are fighting all the time, what start out as play fights turn into proper fights with actual injury very quickly, and they are bringing the house down, literally! now got 4 doors damaged beyond repair, numerous dents and holes in plaster, 2 pictures which need re - glazing, including the one I had painted as a wedding present for DH, and know a bloody great fist shaped hole in a plasterboard dividing wall!!
It's going to cost us a fortune to put it all back right, and, like you all, it's money we just haven't got.
I am back at work, but I just can't do full time hours, I get so exhausted, my oncologist said that this is normal, and I will probably stay tired the whole time on on the chemo, which is anything from 6 to 18 months! Work are doing their best to accommodate me, but it really means they will have to recruit someone else to cover my hours, and also I will not be on my full salary, but we have to restart paying full mortgage this month, and no other bills have gone away
The compensation claim is on a go slow, can't see that coming till next year at this rate, and I still haven't heard about my PIP benifits claim, I will be fully back to work before that comes through, and that's if they grant it!

Trips - we refused to go on a water meter as it was estimated we would be over 200quid a yr worse off, next door are really pissed off, lol

Oh Bubbs talk about doom and gloom! Thought things were bad enough here! We didn`t have a choice over the meter is was compulsory everyone now in our area has one, it does make you think about every drop you use. Sad about Errol Brown, loved his music.......:(

Have you all gone awol? Nothing much going on here, dd been poorly since Weds, she is not a good patient. Foot still painful and still no appt. Weather mixed. Fed up to the teeth of the election results. Life seems very dull atm! Someone have some good news!

For you and Matt Shabs, just a thought away xxxxx

Afternoon girls

Nowt happening here Trips - good, bad or indifferent!!

23 years ago today since we lost Matt - my God life is a crock at times isint it. Remembering you my smiley lad xxx

Morning my friend.........these days are awful, the day no matter how many years ago replays itself in your head. I hope today passes swiftly for you and your Matt will be with you, remember the penny thing? Am I remembering rightly, it was a long time ago but didn`t a penny appear from no-where? Anyway........love you loads, met you because of this day........still have your first letter. xxx

Oh yes THE penny!!! Was stood outside at the back of the house we used to live in. I just said 'let me know you are here with me Matt!!' Within a couple of minutes, a penny dropped onto me....a shiny penny!!! Nobody threw it because it dropped straight down. It was late at night and it just dropped!!! He would think that was fantastic that he scared me so much!!

I remember it Shabs xx
Rubester!!!! So lovely to see you here, whats new with you? We miss you! Did any of you see the VE day parade through Harrogate on the news y/day..........my lad was one of them........felt very proud! He said it was really good, huge crowd who all cheered and clapped at them, would have been nice to have been there. HM did you see them? I think he is feeling a bit homesick, he has w/ends mainly off now and he doesn`t know what to do with himself. There is not a lot for his age group in Harrogate, I have told him to jump on the train to Leeds not that I know much about Leeds! So /yday I got 28 text messages and three phone calls, its hard to know what to keep saying to him. The other thing is he now texts me at 6.15am every morning as soon as he gets up!! Tried to tell him this morning in a nice way its abit early that he is my alarm clock. He text me back and said "is that a good or a bad thing?" Of course that instantly made me feel guilty so I just said "hearing from you is never a bad thing". The first 6 weeks they had their phones taken off of them, now they have them all the time..............not sure if that is a "good or a bad thing?" LOL!!

When I was his age up in Yorkshire, I went to Leeds every weekend :)

I started work last week! Was great, really enjoyed it, but in a state of exhaustion (DH had been snoring for 3 weeks by that point) I managed to drive into a barrier with my bike on the roof :( Luckily the damage wasn't quite as bad as I initially though, but def enough to wipe out my first weeks earnings!

hi all, not much to say here, so been quiet. Shabbs for yesterday

Morning girls.........nice sunny day with no time to be out in it! School 9-12pm then looking after poor Hella (dementia) 1-8pm.........wish me luck! Becca going in for the first time since last Weds, she has been poorly but oh such a bad patient Hope everyone is ok?

Hi.

Shabs x

Morning girls xx

I saw a rat go under our shed! I have been out to purchase rat poison.

Morning. Zzzzzzzzz!

I swear I could sleep for a month and still be tired. Think it's these new bastard pills.

Kids are alright at the moment, well, no different to usual. Jen and Josh had the preschool bear come home with them yesterday. Deep joy!

Morning girls xx

Not much happening here....most exciting thing was Lew losing his first tooth a few days ago!!

Aww. Did the tooth fairy come Shabs? Emily was most excited when she lost her first teeth.

Tooth fairy certainly did come lol. He is growing up so fast....no longer a little lad. He is 7 in June and I don't know where the last 7 years have gone. He came to us, while his lovely Mum worked, when he was about 9 months old. xxx

Awwww. He's the same age as my Emily.

Anyway. This will make you smile. Today's tantrum of the day...

"I want to do a wee wee. I want to do a standing up wee wee". And the resulting trauma from trying to explain to Jen why she can't do a standing up wee.

Soks that made me lol.

When I was about 4 I used to try and do a wee in the grid at our house.....(strange child.....never improved!!) my Mum used to go mad at me. Nowadays she tells everyone in the nursing home the story and any visitors that are there at the time.....even if none of the visitors are visiting her!!! lmfwao xxx
