Cooked Sunday lunch, as well as sorting so's party logistics. Ask son and daughter to dish out - son just carved the chicken, then went for a shower, daughter refused to help - cat started eating the chicken - no shoot sherlock - we have 4, of which one is a clever rescue. She has sulked off upstairs.

Aren't teenagers fun?

Of course we weren't like that, oh no...

I can say that because my parents won't find me here.

Daughter ate the diner, cat got some extra soon after (we spoil him - he's better fed than the two Pedigrees - he goes mad as soon as you get a raw chicken out - poor fella). The pedigrees haven't a clue - spoilt from birth

Son's friends are all arriving - Out of 5, we have 3 staying over already by 6:30pm - two said 'are we ok to stop' - son 'yeh' - they have stopped over before so fine - crashed out on the settee.

PS Neither me or my wife weren't like that. I was cycling with a club at 16 and working - I'd been getting up before 6am since 12 to do a paper round on my bike. My dad was a 'bugger' when us two eldest were born - very strict. When the younger two arrived after a 10 year gap, he'd mellowed (planned - mum had surgery).. they got lucky, but it means I'm quite strict at times, and so is my wife...

Lights out is a biggie in a small'ish house, especially when we are up at 6am for work -

You or them?

Tis only the Sixth Day!
Unlucky to take down the decorations before Twelth Night.

Be warned & be wary.

I think we burn the greens at Epiphany/Twelfth Night.

Apparently our new bin coming in a couple of months for plastic recycling will be a black bin with a bright pink lid. Impossible to confuse with the other bins then.

Chapeau to your mum @User9609

And besides, who defines what is - or isn't - normal?

Just had a nice spicy beef pizza for supper, with some coleslaw and other assorted random vegetables. There's a chocolate dessert thingy for afters.

Had good YS hunting in Tesco this afternoon. Picked out some nice bits for my lovely 91 year old neighbour (pork steaks, sausage rolls, sausages, chocolate eclairs, raspberry frangipane tartlets) and a few bits for me and the kitty cats (sirloin steaks, hake fillets, fresh tuna, butterfly prawns, cheese, and another one of those beautiful pork joints).

Now just settling back for a nice relaxing evening.

Can I?

Are you sure that's wise?

Are you sure that's wise?

Why?

 

[Reynard]

Why?

Dunno...

I'm far from normal though. I know I'm totally crackpot.

Tell your mum I want to be like her when I grow up.

Too risky. They may say yes, and then I'd have to socialise again.

So do I!
