    Morning all,

    Earthy prawns don't sound good nev i hope he feels better soon.

    Ds1 was a pain this morning and made us all late.:mad: Ds2 and i fed the ducks very quickly and then i took him to nursery. I've made the beds and brought all the dirty laundry from upstairs down. I've got a woman coming at 10am from Understanding Society to do a survey. I did it last year and got a £10 voucher so i don't mind doing it again.


    I'd better do a HHC at 9.30 though otherwise i won't be able to let her in. I don't know how it gets in such a mess when it was perfectly tidy last night.:cool:

    kezlou - my heart goes out to your little one!

    when we forked out for DS to do the Spanish watersports school trip 5 years ago I asked his sisters ' is it worth £600 to get rid of your brother for 8 days?'

    they decided it was very good value! And the peace was fantastic!

    When he came back his hair was like straw - and the bottle of shampoo was unopened!

    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:

    Holly - I'll join you in a HHI :j
