    I missed the 9:30 HHC so going to have a quick cuppa and do 1 at 10. Have already done 1 load of wasing and HHI before the school run. After the school run, went to the chemist and the shop for a few bits :) .

    DS used to come back from Scout camp with all his pants unused :eek::eek::eek: and his soap unopened. I asked the leader, and he said that as soap is so valuable, they confiscate it at the start of the camp and keep it under lock and key until the end :rotfl:

    Penelope Penguin - my son has just come back from a school trip and his bar of soap was unopened as well. The hair and body wash was also surprisingly full!! I sent far too many clothes - including undies and now face the unenviable task of having to wash it all because the clean, wet and wet and smelly were all mixed todgether!

    The joys! At least a good time was had - that's the main thing! :j

    :rotfl::rotfl:at cyc yorkie, i'm expecting the same alongside 6 pairs of clean underwear and unopened toothpaste lol
    penpen: - yep that's my boy! dirty pant, unclean slovenly monkey, but yet he loves clean bedding *shruggy man*

    Well DS1(and the rest of the group) arrived at the cottage safely, apparently it was gorgeous and the sun was shining brightly. Another parent got the receptionist before me so i didn't look so much like the needy parent :o.
    DS2 relies heavily on DS1 and loves shouting good night to him from his bedroom, its sounds like the waltons in here at bed time lol

    Dep head said to DS2 and some of his friends bet your glad your brothers and sisters have gone away. The whole group (all aged between 5-7yrs) started to sniffle and weep. One shouted "mam mam Mrs *** said my big brothers gone away, thats not fair God's taken nana already, i want my bro back". Telling you that woman has no sensitivity at all.

    neveah: - hope Oh is feeling better son x
    toots: -glad you enjoyed yourself :)
