The best laid plans !


Ah the ideas I had .... no school , no work , no sport ! A quiet weekend - a stitch here , a stitch there , maybe even a little reading . I had even toyed with the idea of giving my Janome a service and whipping up a few small items .

A picnic lunch for the family I thought and so my teenage son walked into town to get some fresh bread .

Just look at what he brought back home !!!! Seven more teenage boys !

There's always next weekend I suppose !

You should know that mums can never plan something that they would like to do by themselves!
You must have a happy home - your son wanting to bring all his friends there. Enjoy.

Wow they take their shoes off too. I remember when I always had to walk over shoes at the front door just to get in. With four kids of my own there was always lots of extras around.

So glad I'm not the only one who gets piles of shoes and trainers like that! Sometimes the hallway is covered in footwear! I think it shows you're a good mum - that they come back to your place ;-) x
