    head, shoulders, knees and toes - awwww....

    DS's jokes are usually quite gross but I take that to mean he is developing normally as a boy!

    No money in the lockers today - booooooo!

    Well I managed to get DS2 those trainers he needed £12 which I didnt think was too bad as he is now in a size 7 at aged 13:eek: he actually let me go and just choose some as he had friends coming round.

    Apart from that I dont really know where the day has gone:confused: I did iron for 2 hours this morning but havent done much else.
