if you caught 1 of your children in your bedroom near your wardrobe with a handfull of money, when money has been going missing for a number of weeks no matter how well you hide it. despite repeated asking and assurances that if whoever just come clean and owned up there would be no punishments, yet no one has owned up,

i would have loved to have been a fly on the wall at school this morning as this same person had put a stash of family photos in their bag, unfortunately the bag left unattended became a bag full off cook books, how i wish i had been there to see their face. best bit i got a phonecall to ask who had changed their schoolbooks for cookbooks, without actually answering the question i pointed out that the schoolbooks were on the stairs .

going to have a visit from the dad tonight as this child has not liked my handling of things ie coming straight home from school and has called him to say im being mean and im upsetting them,
bang goes my evening. kids grrrrrrrrr

got into my blog for first time in a few weeks and there was this message

oh my and im not keen, especially as she told me they are made out of animal skin, saying i might consider it for christmas in the hopes she gets bored of the idea, she has carried on with guitar lessons off a teacher at school who is impressed at the speed she learns, and no nothing other than the genuine article will do, told her the cats might think they are scratch post and wreck them. this is one of those times i hope just passes as a phase

girls went to some activity thing at the sports centre today, thought bliss a whole day of peace and quiet, tidy up and plan what im going to craft later. first knock at door, grandson, "can hollie come library with me?" "hollie out all day" five minutes later door goes again, hollie and grandson, hollie "wheres our swimming costumes swimming included in activities" me "i dont know i put them in your drawers after i washed them" hollie then going through every drawer in the bedrooms, through laundry baskets both clean and dirty leaving a trail of destruction in her path, costumes not found one unhappy and verbal girl stomps out of the house. a bit later door goes again, grandson again, "did you know max is up the road and he wont come back with me" grrr trip up road to go get him. peace, im in middle of writing a message to my freind who goes away tomorrow when pc abruptly stops decides to close everything down then attempt to reopen...

hollie in her wisdom has nearly burnt the house down,

making toast she decided to put cheese slices on top of the toast then layer them on top of the toaster, she must have put the timer to max again and again little realising the cheese slices were not melting but the toaster was melting, three smoke alarms going off still didnt make her realise the danger she had created along with the fact the kitchen was filling up with smoke from the now blackened toast and the smell of melting plastic, she just carried on playing tower building with ellie. doors and windows all open house stinks waiting for all the smoke to clear so i can cook tea.
1 12 year old now banned from kitchen and a wrecked toaster and my nerves shattered. i hate being a mother at times like this as i have shouted and shouted at her
