    Sir,
    Having sorted out the clean laundry and noted there is no more washing to be done, I find myself in possession of 21 odd black socks. Is this some kind of record?
    Yours,

    Just catching up.

    Definitely think need to sell Dryer fluff on ebay!
    Dryer fluff I suppose is similar to bubble wrap, you cant help the glee you feel.

    Secret santas always dodgey but fun. My mum once got a pair of black tights (fortunately she only wore "tan" so I got them) also when organised them at work have had missing ones. I got a key holder last year! (which I gave to my mum as one of her birthday presents). I always really try so its a gamble but hey ours are normally £5 max.

    I also have a pile of singles in my laundry basket, although DD2 is a nightmare when it comes to washing, always finding nasty things under her bed as she "cleans" her room every sunday.

    Still waiting to list items..... So frustrating

    I had a lovely little MP3 player once, DD1 stood on the beach listening to music and then dropped it into the sea.

    Saying that I had a lovely camcorder and DD2 and DD3 took it onto the trampoline to video each other bouncing...

    Gosh I could go on forever .... Sorry, wandered off there, how much did they say each child costs?

    15 socks thrown out. Well, when I say thrown out, they are in the bin but still in the house so it's early days yet :rotfl:.
