    Very very true, he has never been afraid of work, went and got his first part time job whilst at college at 16 and I had to force him to take money from me to pay for the college essentials like expeditions and kit - I think what is at the back of my head is that, as I've seen with the older 2, at this age they think they are invisible and have boundless limitless energy but they don't realise they can literally burn themselves out just as much as us oldies.
    When i was his age i worked in retail so had to work sat, no sunday trading then:D
    I used to work all day 7.30-5.30 my day off was a monday, fri i would get home about 6 , have a bath, get glammed up and be out just gone 7, in at 2 up at work at 6 sat morn, home at 6, out at 7 in at 3 every week:eek: i survived :rotfl: went out every night apart from thurs as mum said we had to have one night in:rotfl::rotfl: but other nights was in by 10.30 as mum said that was quite late enough:o:rotfl:

    Evening all, don't post very often but for those of you with young children to buy for this might be useful? still £16.99 in John Lewis. https://www.tesco.com/direct/the-world-of-eric-carle-happy-tin/793-SM4Z.prd?source=others (info originally from the dark side )

    the Walkers crisps are proving to be a nice little filler if you only 'buy' 2 packs at £1.65p each in Sada, even better if you 'pay ' with a FREE voucher

    the still love me, but not as much today only 3/5! x
