LW, could it be that Mr LW needs something more to keep him occupied, not that I have any suggestions. I just remember my dad going stir crazy when he retired, but then he started working on the door at a local club. It gave him some extra pennies and a social life that was paid for.

That's my thought, too; but he is totally disinclined to even give it any thought. Maybe when the novelty of being retired has worn off, he'll feel differently. At present, all I ask is that when he's finished whatever he's doing online, he turn the pc off and do something useful, not just sit there staring at the screen til he nods off.

Afternoon all

Lazy day here. Spent most of the day watching TV with DD but she's taken herself upstairs to watch Glee DVDs so I'm going to get on with the paperwork I wanted to get done yesterday. The pile in total is a foot high so it's going to take a while and I really can't see me getting it all done today, but I can at least hope to get through my OU work.

WM is on a clean cycle after doing 2 loads. Then I'll start over with towels and clothing I have grass stains to get out of DD's favourite WHITE hoody! :eek: Thank goodness I have strain removers.
Catch up with you all later, if not on next weeks thread :wave:

Thanks, Honey Bear, for your kind words. I just feel it's what anyone would do for any member of their family, and it's how we've been brought up. But, sadly, I know that's not the case. DD is keeping Villa Valli on an even keel though, which is a huge help.


Anyway, DD and I are out to the pub tonight, quizzing.

so here is the

NEW THREAD

DH is washing up.

I have done zero flying apart from cleaning the table where we had lunch.
I drove us to Manchester and back. We went to Legoland and Sealife.
We decided to pop in to the shopping centre afterwards but is was very hot and ds2 looked like he was going to collapse so we rushed back to the car and are now home. On the whole it was a successful day out for a child who doesn't like to go out.

Honey Bear I'm not sorry I asked. Hope he continues to be around for a long time. X

Valli Hope your sister is as well as she can be. Hope you and DD enjoy the pub X
