Re: rough time

hmm that does sound tricky. can i ask what age range your LF are in? i might be able to think of something for those age brackets.
not alot to do here today. only this afternoon catching up with a few clients to organise the long weekend care they are after.

Re: rough time
I don't mention their ages here @outlander but they're in primary and range from pretty grown up and mature to very not so.
They want to go for a walk/ride around the lake where there is a big park. I've been promised one would be happy to walk with me and not go bananas at the park but they're the one that also said they wouldn't rock climb (and they did), play on the flying fox (which they fell off) and decided the other week that learning how to use roller shoes was a great idea, not long after also tying their legs together with a skipping rope and having a one legged race down the hallway with a sibling, so I'm a little reluctant to trust that. Any ideas very welcome 🙂
Hope the day goes well for you and that you have some enjoyable down time.

Re: rough time
thats ok @CheerBear
still gives me a rough idea..
haha kids! i love the way you describe it, gave me a good laugh.
they must give you alot of grey hairs!
well i do hope they stick to that promise and walk with you
can you share what sorts of things they like to do (besides give you a heart attack lol)? they sound very energectic but still needing to be careful so it does make it tricky

Re: rough time
Its a circus @outlander, but it keeps me busy and entertained 😆 (and drives me nuts often too).
One is being quite tweenie and enjoying movies and music on their own lots more than the others. They like reading too so they spend a bit more time away from the chaos that the love/hate duo can create. Those two enjoy doing pretty normal kid stuff - bikes and scooters, video games, YouTube etc. They all enjoy crafty stuff too. More often than not everyone likes getting to the park, lake, beach etc. once they're up and going which can take a bit to do if they don't all want to go. One of the biggest challenges I have is the fighting between the youngest two who go from best mates to biggest enemies in a flash, as well as finding something that keeps them all occupied being it's like there is 10 years between youngest and eldests at times (which there isn't).

Re: rough time
Hey lil Sis @outlander
Sorry for my absence the last couple of days. I think I saw @Snowie
talking to @Zoe7
yesterday.
After an emotional week last week and a busy weekend, I completely bombed out on Monday night after the road trip. I spent much of yesterday sleeping, and was in bed early last night as well.
I took my car to a different mechanic today, who told me that if I went with the original mechanic's quote of over $1200, then I'd be out of pocket by close to half that with things that didn't even need replacement. I knew already the price was hiked up, but I was still shocked. And nothing needs urgent attention. It can all wait until the next service.
I came home and I had no choice but to hand mow the lawn as my rental inspection is this Friday. I've got a bit more to go and some weeding.
Resting now until I have a Web based meeting in 20 minutes.
I saw you've applied for a course next year so well done. How are you doing otherwise?
