Have you asked him whether he remembers the colour of his carpet yet?

Fortunately it's wooden. That's fortunate for me for when I clean the floor, but unfortunate for him as I can see all his toenails he's been picking off whilst he's been playing his x box.

There all yours if you're interested.

Properly!

I've tried (practically) everything. I've asked, i've been reasonable, i've shouted, i've threatened, i've asked nicely, i've explained, i've been through consequences, i've punished, i've been at the end of my tether and I get met by a blank.

He will do it but it's always in a minute or later (which means a week on Tuesday).

It's like a bloody burglary scene in there. We're running out of pots and things are getting lost or broken or damaged and still, blank look.

He likes it tidy and everything in it's place, but he's no motivated to do it himself. Lazy boy

Any ideas? It drives me bloody mad it does and I don't want it so mummy has to do it, his future wife will not thank me!

whip him with a stick

That's what I said I'd do last night, not to him though. I was just going to do it tomorrow if he hadn't made a move.

go on ck

He's 14, we've been through the Pot and fags already. That was easy.

he smokes

Anything confiscated I'm having. So I might just get all my fucking Star Wars Lego back!

put it in a room that is out of reach from him

Like scare him into submission? I quite like that!

Right, plan is, warn him, if he takes no notice, scare him with the black bag removal system, if that don't work then it's time to get serious.

try it when he is outside

put it on ebay
