Ha!!! LOL :0)))))))))))))))) M you are so right! 'M&Jen R Us' Success guaranteed for all GRU members! We could all bring our kids to meets and just leave them to get on with each other or ......just leave them and run!!! No need to charge too much, just the odd camel and perhaps a census voucher or two.......bargain! Glad your day perked up - mine has at the thought of it...oh and I've managed to get down to dusting her room........ see life can be fun when your over 40+!!!! Jenxx

Papers - check Hello Mag - check Camel shed - check Today started off bad, things are definately looking up. Jen, I think you and I should start a dating agency on here. M.

M, I think we're onto a winner here - just need to check that Michael Douglas is a relation then ***Bingo ***, he can pay for the camels!! Best warn the brats too (although perhaps we'll tell them after the papers are signd !!!) ....... and can you set up an 'Hello' magazine shoot, just warn them 'Hugh Grant' & 'CZJ' , an event not to be missed, & we'll share the proceeds (dont tell the kids) See knew I could sort out my unruly/untidy daughter on here! Thanks Guys! Now for the son .......14........yada yada! Jenxx

Welsh ancestry, I'm getting to like the idea of this pairing more and more, and why does she need good points if she looks like CZJ. My son has been told he looks like Prince William, more when he was younger I think and some of his friends call him Hugh Grant. Good looking grandbabies, I think. M.

Lisa - the bin bag is full as we speak - think i'll hide it in the loft, Annie - all this passess OH by - he's gone off to play golf! M, good points!!! let me see Well, being honest she is beautiful - everyone says she looks like a younger Catharine Zeta Jones ( doesnt get it from me tho!) although I've found lots of welsh ancestry doing this family tree lark! but as for good points I'll have to get back to you on that one!! Jenx

Written on here, my son does sound a bit of a catch, funny how we never see it ourselves. Now come on, what are your daughter's good points? M.

My husband used to go in there rooms and pick up all the crockery including all the food still on the plates and dirty washing and put it all under the pillows and duvet.It did help. Annie

Poor Jen My lad isnt 13 yet and they do say they get worse. I do often threaten to take a bin bag upstairs and put everything on the floor in it that works well. Lisa xx

Now let me see -- a tall, handsome, healthy, clever boy who likes music and is TIDY!!!! Gets back on train with whole b....y circus!!! camels and the rest!!!! Shouts to OH -- we've found him!!!! You can let the cave rescue team out now!!! Calls daughter on mobile - child we're off to SWales - dont ask why you'll find out soon enough! Jenxxxx

My one has just appeared at the bottom of the stairs.I never wake her.When i had my elder 3 at home my husband always chucked a teaspoon in the waste disposal and turned it on.Then moaned that they were hanging around making a mess.Annie

Mine is 19, 6ft 1, into healthy food, exercise, plays drums, learning guitar, Uni boy (that's enough about that bit), thankfully, doesn't wear my jeans, but I wore his a few weeks ago. Just phoning hubby to find big shed for camels. M.

We all go through it! Suggestion: take 1 bucket half fill with ice, top up with water and add salt - water now at -13C, throw over teenager and RUN! Teenager will get up and spend next few hours in the shower / bath! Next close windows and dettinate a stink bomb in teenagers room! Threaten to hire a skip and throw whole contence of room into if room is not spotless by tea time on Sunday - 2 days is more than reasonable. Clothes can go to charity shop if not ironed! Lunar (23y, housework hateing ex teenager who's a neat freek when away from home!!)

Mmmmm gets off train .....having second thoughts.................maybe we should just introduce them............mines 17, 5ft 9, brown hair (sometimes its blue/pink) and all of those things you just mentioned...................scrapes barrel to find a good word about her today!!!! She's just gone out, I can see her from the window in MY jeans..!!!!!!! What do you think -- I'll thow in a dowry too ( at least 2 camels!) Jenx

One thing I didn't mention though, he's moody, argumentative, plays very loud, sometimes awful music and thinks he knows everything. M.

Gets on train to south Wales with big net to bag myself a son. surely M wont notice if I swap him for b....y teenage daughter? Jenx

Jen, I hope you're up to date with your injections. My daughter's was just the same when she was at home, no better now she has her own place. Now my son is totally different, he loves his room and keeps it spotless and so tidy, he knows when something has been moved, at this very moment he is putting the cleaner through said room. Do you think he's ok for a teenager? M.
