            Just had to brave the outdoors (very cold here) to clean DS1s footy boots (he's 11) and before anyone says he should be doing them himself - I've tried, he leaves them upside down on the back doorstep to dry, then a quick bang before he needs them again and hey presto.
 They've been so wet lately and refusing to dry and he's been trying to bring them in to dry but the stench was too much for all of us :eek:, and I told him unless they were thoroughly cleaned they weren't allowed in (thinking soggy boots for PE would teach him a lesson).
 What happened? I very cleverly asked him about the state of his boots and he said, " oh wet again", I said "don't you meant, still wet?" To which he replied, " Oh no, they were dry when I put them on, I was sat next to the radiator in maths and so I put them to dry" :eek::eek::eek:
 I asked if anyone complained about the smell (you can't imagine how bad they smell, the mud from the school field must be a special mix!) but he says folks who sit near him are used to smells (he's Eddy but Eggy to his mates :rotfl:)
