I`ve had a call from my 3 daughters. "We`ve got your mobile and we`re holding it hostage until you bring Ben And Jerrys". That will teach me to leave it in view when I visit. Is B&J on special anywhere?.

    I`m not strong enough. A tub of cookie dough has been handed over. The `phone has been looked after. They even cleaned it, which is more than I ever did.

    Top tip for parents,

    Only buy cheap generic ice cream for your kids, otherwise your mobile might be next. :cool:
