GOD yes......the one I can't stand is when they get sufficiently bored that they start fighting like cat and dog. The other day it was over one of those bloody Wonka bar things....I'd been stupid enough to only buy one and then suggest sharing it. Mind, it's not as bad as the Cadbury bars...what sadistic git in product development came up with a choccie bar that splits into seven chunks? I mean, what use is THAT? Unless you're living with the seven dwarves, that is.....
2 kids, one going up to 'big school', uniform & kit purchased, SMS sent to their dad asking for £110, which is half of the spend I have managed to find receipts for.
Feckin' shed loads spent this week alone (as I managed to farm them off else where the rest of the hols) on cinema, bowling, Legoland (love it there!) food, drink, etc.
Am at w*rk next week, so they'll be home with step-dad (thx, Reese) and not my problem, again!
Roll on the glorious 5th.
Counting the days :sleeping: In need of some quiet time :grin:
Ive had a great idea, and i have taken some time of work the day school opens :thumbup:
:bounce: :taz: :bounce:
Counting the days, hours and minutes!
Love them to bits but very much in need of a break from the squabbling, mess and childrens tv programmes.
I'm NOT looking forward to the start of term at all - think my holidays have been compressed into just 2 weeks cos it's just flown by so quickly. Not had a lie in yet. Not got further than the Bonnyland yet.
:cry: :cry: :cry:
Mixed feelings really here. My kids (13 and 15) are bored, they've had enough time off now. I'm kind of bored even though I shouldn't be, because I'm putting off doing things. They'll all get done next week. Kind of looking forward to going back but would like to be able to stay in bed later every day.
Doing a bulky waste removal job for a local housing trust, I cannot wait for the lil' bastards to go back - especially as the amount of stuff getting smashed, burned or moved elsewhere before I get there will drop off dramatically. I don't even like the younger ones hanging around and watching - partly I despise being watched / public in general and partly I hate the butting in, firing off dumbass questions and trying to help but getting in the way ( I could crap myself everytime I'm using the tail lift and a kid gets too close, tries climbing up onto it ).
as a teacher, I am actually looking forward to going back.
just annoyed that it interferes with the fifth test match.
(ah well another reason why the internet is a godsend).
I can't wait, it will leave me more time to read and enjoy the swingers stories.
ahhhhhhhhh roll on a week on tuesday cant bloody wait, me heads a shed
and i`ve bit me finger nails off down to the second knuckle.
the poor dog wont come out of his bed its that bad.
