Chucky Mama Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 YS very sweetly moved a trailer load of logs off our driveway when I was out last night taking him 2 hours. Sadly he just lobbed them in a pile next to the front door (crushing my plants in the process). I have just had to move and re-stack them all while he was out so that he wasn't upset that his kind gesture was a failure- back is killing me. Oh the things we do for out kids.

The Dogmother Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Rosie's been at home today (schools closed due to strikes ) I said that she could go into town (5 mins away) this afternoon IF she'd done her chores... I jolly well hope that she's done them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 well, she'd emptied the bins after a fashion and the dishwasher too, but her room is still a total mess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 My YD was the only one of my 3 with a full day off today, she went to the cinema with her friends and then the Pizza Hut because it was a birthday treat for one of them. She wasn't supposed to go until her room was sorted but they had got the cinema times wrong and she had to rush out an hour early. She had done it by bedtime though.

The Dogmother Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I wish Rosie had other chores done but her room still looks a tip. I've left the electrician at home sorting out a few things and told him 'if you need to go in Rosie's room, you'll have to surf over the clothes'.

Lewis Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Had a planning application through to build a Vets round the corner from home Think they were granted it before and are having to reapply 'cos it expired, but they were talking about it a couple years ago. Its at the feed store where we get our stuff from so know them quite well. Have put in a Support. Hopefully built soon for work experience or by when I graduate so I can ask them for a job before applying for Vet School Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 That sounds like good news Lewis, hopefully they'll get it built this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Oh thats a different one! There was another Vets 10/15 mins from home that was granted planning permission, it was nearly all built, they found a couple of vet nurses and were looking for graduate vets and I had a job interview there for Saturday job... Got the job and its still not open a couple years later! The recession put a stop to things so they couldn't afford to kit it all out and get it open. Haven't spoken to him recently to see what they're doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 OH and I have just found the remote control for the boys' television. It has been lost for over a week. It was finally located down the side of the chair that YS sits on. It wasn't alone, it had 10 crisp packets, several chocolate bar wrappers and numerous sweet wrappers for company. I have taken most of the house apart searching for it. OH will be having words with YS tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmommasally Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 OH & I were approved as Foster Carers this week We're going to start with Shared Care and see how it goes before I give up work to do full time Fostering. Thought I'd give you an update following our approval back in June: Following lots of frustrating delays we finally got matched with a little 10 year old girl with severe learning disabilites and some physical disabilites. At the moment we're building up contact time so she gets use to us, we generally have her over on a Saturday afternoon and we're aiming to the first overnight stay in January. Eventually we hope to build up to be able to have her for a full 2 night weekend stay once a month to give her family a proper break. She is a wonderful child, lots of character and spirit and full of laughter at the simplest little things, she loves "round & round the garden" and "this little piggy" tickle games. Yesterday she had both me and OH doing one foot each at the same time and she loved it. OH and I are both really enjoying this experience, & we certainly get as much if not more out of the visits as the little girl does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
