10 things I know for sure…
1. If you leave washing in a pile for too long it will grow and grow and grow.
2. Boys can eat peanut butter on anything.
3. The first hot day in spring will kick start your post-winter diet.
4. Dog’s poop way more than they eat, don’t they?
5. To get clean undies on Monday morning you must do the washing on the weekend.
6. Children can be very inventive when they have no clean undies!
7. Men and children suffer from domestic blindness.
8. It’s a good idea to do the weekly shop before you run out of loo paper.
9. Kitchen paper makes a great substitute for loo paper.
10. Running out of loo paper will motivate even men to do the weekly shop.
And basically that sums up my weekend.

I am rolling on the floor laughing…. as the wife and mother of a son, I too know the domestic blindness that can occur in the males of the species… especially the young
My take on your list is….
1.If you leave washing in a pile for too long it will start to devour the socks and you will never get those socks back
2. Boys can eat peanut butter on anything and manage to smear it on anything and everything as well
3. The first hot day in spring will kick start your post-winter diet- the next day will be cold again and you will have to get the chocolate out from the hideyhole again
8. It’s a good idea to do the weekly shop before you run out of loo paper.
9. Kitchen paper makes a great substitute for loo paper.
So does tissues, facewipes anything really - just wait for mum to do the shoping

What a neat post. I can totally relate to them. I’m glad to hear from your last post that things seem to be going better for you. This came to mind for me.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
I know there’s more to this prayer, but these words just kept jumping out. I’m glad your new venture is taking off so well.
Lots of Hugs to you from over on this side of the pond.

Maddy, I loved this post and am also glad that you have come to terms with what had been bothering you. Your solution to it sounds perfect to me. I think, personally, you are a great gal!

That was fun. Something funny to add - in a conversation with a young early 20 something friend of mine who is a medical student I was telling her of some of the hardships during the war in the 40’s. When telling her about using torn up squares of newspaper for toilet paper,she very seriously asked, “Why didn’t you use kitchen roll?”

Love it! So funny. And have you ever noticed what men and children will do to avoid emptying the dishwasher?
