Three children off to school today - yeh!! Bit of a struggle getting DS1 out of the door on time, he was in a majorly bad mood. Not that it bothered me, I get plenty of practice ignoring adolescents having a strop! I haven't had any texts from any of them yet, so they must be busily occupied.

I've done quite a bit of flying this morning, and am just having a cup of coffee (ignoring the ban on drinks and food in the livingroom - I don't get it all over the sofas!) before flitting downtown to get out some cash, do a little bit of shopping in Boots (yes, honestly, just a little bit!) and buy some absolutely essential can't-live-without-it stationery in Smiths!

pigpen - You HAVE to go to that college interview! Don't you dare miss it! I'm free Friday, so I've just about got time to get up there and drag you there!!

Okay, nust go empty the tumbler, and then off downtown! back later!

Will go attack that pile of clothes that I took out of hubbys wardrobe and bag it up and [strike]throw it [/strike]put it in the garage coz he won't let me throw it (yet! :whistle: :shhh: ) - He'll never wear it again, why do men get such attachments to old, ripped, worn carp?

see all these binbags...........



80-90% of them are full of OHs clothes.... it took a special trip with the back seat of my dad large saloon car to bring them here - think we counted at least 15 bin bags... and they were just the ones that were left at his old house! :rolleyes: He already had half a wardrobe full here + about 3 drawers..!!

The bin bags contain things he hasnt worn for years.... and i hope he never does again!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I wet myself laughing when i opened the wardrobe back when we first met and found them god-awful fleecy waistcoats from the 90's you know the ones i mean with the awful patterns on?! A "Kangol" berie style hat - think ant + dec in byker grove..:rotfl: :rotfl: Oh what i can only describe as a "romeo" shirt...like a medievally thing with a lace up neck and flouncy lawerence lewellyn boweyn style cuffs! :shocked: :rotfl: :rotfl: WORST thing about that was the label said topshop... so it must have been trendy when he bought it... god knows when that was!! :rotfl: :rotfl:
