Just as I think it couldn't get any worse...

... it does. We haven't been feeling too Christmassy - what with the funeral any all - but today is the day I have to get the tree and decorations up. Needless to say, Dij the Cat wants to help. Or possibly eat me. It's difficult to tell. Until you have had a cat leap at you from the inside of a Christmas tree when you try to hang a bauble, you don;t know the meaning of the word arghgetofofityoumonsternoowowow... Then it does get worse. A kid tried to kill himself by throwing himself off the bridge over the river and has very badly busted his leg. So the road is closed, and emergency services are trying to get him out without doing any more harm. And my neighbour is involved in that for complicated reasons, so his wife - who is a carer - has to go to work but can I look after the grandkids? OK ... so I need to arrange a lift for Herself (as I have no booster seats I can't take them with me) so she can get home, as I can't leave sprogs aged 5 and 8 alone in the house. Any idea what you do with kids? I'm totally out of practice, but I've given them the Amazon Prime TV remote and left them to it - and them have chosen the black and white original version of "The Wizard of Oz" which shows remarkable taste for their age!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

"When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in batallions" You appear to have handled the kids just right. All kids that age need is a little amusement, and occasional feeding. As long as they're not tearing the place up or trying to kill each other, you're doing a good job.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

I'm not dead or arrested, they aren't dead or arrested. They've been collected, and the cat has finally come out of hiding. I'd call that a win! :laugh:

5 & 8 sounds like a demolition tag team! I think TV is the way to keep them occupied. Just don't let them near Netflicks I still get blamed for selecting 'Use This For recommedation', it was late I was drunk and 'Hobo With A Shotgun' sounded like a good idea!...

Could have been worse, I guess: remove the "bo" and you're likely to get some very ... unusual ... recommendations. :laugh:
