It is very important to take personal responsibility for a few possessions:

house keys should be on a key ring and not stored with nail varnish and other cosmetics
phone top up cards should be used ASAP and not stored in mum's handbag
jobs done around the house attract money-money can then be used for trips, mobiles and clothing
keeping your room reasonably tidy will enable you to find things
wearing an item of clothing more than once will reduce the amount of washing and ironing-allowing mum more free time (unless ironing in on the jobs list in which case this can be a good job creation scheme)

hugs and kisses with mum are great - doing the washing up is better

(WW3 is breaking out at home as our own little treasure wants money to go out today, having slothed all week. Even if money is found the lack of top up card and phone credit must then be addressed, along with house keys. Kids eh? Can I sell my daughter on ebay yet?)

<font color='#F52887'>1) Thats done, i dont have nail varnish etc!
2) I have an account which i dont have to pay for so no top up cards for me!
3) Already do jobs round the house for money!
4) Dont try to stop the impossible.
5) I do the washing!

hmm......

Ah, you are faced with a couple of alternatives here.

1) sulk techique, can often backfire though, but used spareingly can produce excellent results when trying to get what you want.

2) The almost helpfull technique, by being &quot;almost&quot; helpful can lead into mild feelings of guilt in the parental unit, can also often result in achievment of ones aims.

3) The nice yet total revenge technique, cook dinner whilst your mum is out, lay the table and make things look really nice for when she gets back. &nbsp;But beware............. those herbs and spices can get awefully confusing, it is amazing how the mega-strength chilli powder looks exactly the same as the mild paprika.

Take care,

Andrew

<font color='#736AFF'>Ah yes.........
I had to check a few facts, the alto sax and shopping refs are the obvious clues here.

You are quite obviously the ideal daughter. Your mum sounds absolutely fab too!

All I can suggest is that you offer to take mum shopping to assist in her purchases. Mum may then purchase the odd item for yourself.
