    my lottie desperately needs attention, what with one thing and another i have not been able to get down there and dig

    i have a teenager daughter who has lots of tall strong strapping male friends ( i am 5'2 and slim) ideally built for a bit of graft

    what do you think my chances are of getting them down to my lottie to use their strength and dig 'for loopy'? anyone got any tips on how to lure them down there?


    am i going mad or could this be successful?

    A Pizza Party reward!!!
    or
    Tickets and transport for a day out at Alton Towers - or similar


    Must remember to reward them after they have done what needs to be done though rather than bribing them by paying them first - that is a recipe for procrastination and broken promises

    Get them all down there with the promise of a night out at yours :) Let your daughter have a party at the house - not too expensive, under your watchful eye - but a good night's fun - would help your daughter coerce all the young men to help out too!

    Good luck on that one - let me know how it turns out - I may try the same thing with my son and his friends! haha

    hooray for the girls x ( bit worried about the false nails and heels though!!)

    Good luck with that Loopy! It's always fun when people muck in together. I'm sure they'll enjoy themselves.
