Am I likely to need these for any reason (got a passport so don’t need them for that) as I can’t find them (and haven’t been able to for quite a long time). (No idea what’s made me think about...
RE Smowball’s thread - I find it terribly arrogant of you to prayer on behalf of everyone, talk about ramming religion down people’s throats. It’s people like you that give religious people a...
Boy #1 is in halls at uni. He watches tv programmes through Amazon prime and Sky go, never anything live (doesn’t watch BBC or ITV), does he need his own tv licence? (be a complete rip off if he...
Boy #1 found out today (during his induction at uni) that if he is successful with his paramedic science degree he’s still got to fork out nearly 1k to pass the ‘ambulance driving licence getting...

Just finished ordering all the stuff for the start of school. Not much for boy #2 and girl but the things need everything new (it’s the ‘rule’ when you go to high school). Just stupidly realised...

... before the start of the final school run. Considering promising ice cream from the shop (a proper one, not a cheapy Asda one) if they can both hold it together (if one starts crying the other...
Just realised that the slow cooked honey and mustard ham that’s been in for hours is actually cooking in honey and brown sugar (don’t ask) - will it still be ok? I don’t have any mustard to add...
Discovered a new way to while away the time - geo guesser. I’m pants at geography but I did v well on the South Wales map (it’s where I’m from). Excellent way to waste an hour (or two)....
I’m trying to send a text/iMessage to boy #2 who’s in France. The progress bar at the top of the screen I showing but the message is not sending. Is this because he has no signal/WiFi?...
