    I had this as well eventually I just bought all his socks the same. Yep he has a draw full of grey socks so they all match each other. Any other socks he buys he’s responsible for.
    Me and my son have all black socks, the same kind, for the same reason, it works great:rotfl:

    serena things aren't too bad at the minute, he's still very lively (can't think of a better word:rotfl: ) up at 4 in the morning constantly jumping from one topic to another when talking, but at least he's keeping busy round the house. Thanks for asking and the hugs.:A

    Right better get on.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Bike's built, presents are wrapped - need to do a pass the parcel at some point.

    Just wondering what to do for tea - don't really feel like cooking but suppose I'd better shift my butt!
