Trying flirting on for size!

[ACJ]

Just keep reminding yourself to DB the kids. Do those 180s. Before you react to anything they say or do ask yourself what would happen if I did the exact opposite of what they expect from me.

I did just this with D13 tonight. As soon as I walked in the door from uni she started with the lip. I ignored it in the main. Then she did something which I could not ignore and I told her off for it. Her retort was that this morning H said to her 'if I sell my flat and rent somewhere bigger would you consider coming to live with me?' she said she told him she might. I just replied 'if that is what you wish to do D13 then you should do it'. The chat back stopped instantly.

She has been off ill today. She let me know and so did S16 bless him but H did not bother to tell me. Typical. He must have let school know b/c I did not hear from them in relation to her absence. When I got home the same two boys were here and b/c I had occassion to tell D13 off she then retaliated by saying ok i am going out. I reminded her she was ill but when I went to the toilet she went out anyway. She wasn't gone for long and she brought her friends back with her and they sat in the dining room. So far tonight she has not gone to Hs but I'm beginning to suspect that might be b/c he is working away today but I might be wrong.

D18 had an interview for a summer job todaty. It was held at a university near to our home and so she drove up after lunch, went to the interview and then came here for her tea. She has just left. We have just chatted all evening. It's been so pleasant. I miss her so much.

I have not heard from my L today so hopefully I will tomorrow.
