NSD today :T. First one of this month.
Spent most of the day with DS2, clearing out his room. He wants to make money by selling things :money: to buy himself something else
. I posted a ‘where do I start’ photo on FB of the dozens of costumes he wants me to list on eBay, and friends have already asked to buy 4 of them :T. DS2 is thrilled .
In contrast, DS1 has done his utmost to upset EVERYONE in the house. Sure he enjoys being public enemy number one :mad:.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Morning PLMBL.
My son is the same at the minute, in fact i'm glad he is back at school tomorrow. He has spent the weekend annoying everyone, being argumentative and a general pain in the backside.
Well done on your winning streak, i'm thinking i'm going to have to lose some weight once i'm back functioning properly.
Have a lovely Sunday.x0 -
Sounds like DS1's hormones are raging unfortunately
He'll grow out of it but it's not what you want to hear at the moment. So until he does - ignore him. I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
MBTs were incredibly ugly semi circle soled trainers, I still have a pair lurking, too uncomfortable to wear but too expensive to recycle. Like walking on a see saw.
Huge fan of flipflop boots, worth keeping an eye on Amazon for them, and obviously the fitpflop sale. Great if you suffer from poor circulation or chilblains.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++

Mine are sheepskin lined mukluks - so no cold feet, so no poor circulation pins and needles for me anymore. I rarely wear anything else if I can get away with it, Bit smarter than Ugg type boots so I can get away with them at work.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error.

TBH I wouldn't have bought them at full price, but c£50 in the sale has given me warm feet for two years now.
