The ones that use the wrong shaped ball, its got to be egg shaped. ^_^

Only tomorrow........
 
today is the "get everything done before the holidays" day
We are off to Scotland tomorrow for a few days so we need to get stuff sorted today so we can leave

Main problem is that I have not been able to find a Easter Egg hunt box of small eggs for the kids to find
I normally get one from Tesco but I have not been able to find one this year - in fact there have far fewer eggs overall than usual

ALso - they normally come round on Easter Sunday - but that can;t happen this year as we will be already gone
Hence needs to be done after we get back
CLEARLY can;t be done before we go as the Easter Bunny only comes round and leaves the eggs in Easter Sunday
This is known

I will also have to sort out and leave a series of clues for the kids - I will have to have 3 sets this year as the 2 year old is old enough to participate

and the 10 year old will need something she has to figure out
and the 6 year old SEN boy is now old enough to be given proper clues to figure out

Smetimes I wish I never started this tradition - sorry - I mean sometimes I wish the Easter Bunny didn;t pick our house for the annual Easter Eggs hunt

ANyway - think I will try Morrissons

HELP. PLEASE, HELP.

We have friends visiting from France in the autumn. Mrs P has suggested I offer to take the husband cycling. 😲 I

I've played the "he won't have any shoes with cleats" card.

Which got the reply "Give him plenty of warning, perhaps he can borrow some." Then I played the "These aren't road cleats, they're double-sided SPD MTB cleats."

Next "Just tell him what's needed. You never know"

Paul wanders off muttering. This is my bikes guys. You understand. We've got six months to come up with reasons why another person can't touch let alone ride my bikes.?*** Get thinking, every spare moment.

*** #1 son excepted as I know how good he is........both proud and jealous of that!

Gutted yesterday. A huge opportunity missed. šŸ‘ tomorrow. Very surprised to see there are games on Easter Sunday.

Is nothing sacred these days? Hell, the shops shut out of respect. How about football doing the same?

Respect for what?

Buy a new bike with different pedals for him to "use while he is here"
after he leaves change the pedals and you have a new bike!!!
and all because she wanted you to do it so no having to justify it!!!

hope this helps

Easy really....just practice saying
"No, not him or anyone else is riding my bike".
NOW.....
Just practice saying it (to yourself in the mirror), maybe 30 times, then just go and say it out loud.
Easy peasy.
