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,
I make DS keep his in the shed because the concepot of taking them OUT of the boot bag to allow them to dry seems alien - and they grow stuff Aggie would freak at if left - and a microscope would NOT be needed;)
So sometimes I do DS's occasionally he does.
He's 16 now
you're in for a long haul (and I do hope you haven't read anything else I have posted about the joys of parenting a DS...)
Ink has NOT come out of the duvet but the mark is reduced...:huh:
who's culling the smileys? Where are shrug and rolleyes?
Ha well onwards and upwards
DS cannot HOLD a biro and then put it down in the same state he picked it up in - they commit harikiri in his hands it appears...Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016

Afternoon all
Hugs AnW's. I have dug out a yellow top for tomorrow xx
Nopot2pin - sometimes less is more with the rice crispie cake - just melt some milk chocolate, stir in enough rice crispies so they are just covered in choc rather than swimming in it, divide into paper cases and pop them in the fridge until the choc's gone hard again
Happy birthday's to Nicki and all
Hugs on your fall Jo
