Good morning Wednesday

Morning all

It's been raining, but the sun's out now, not sure how long it will last.

Saundra have a lovely time with Scarlet.

No plans for us, if the weather stays nice we might pop over to the garden centre later. I've got a £5 voucher and they're doing 50% off all the Christmas bits. I've got a family box of crackers to take to Z's on Boxing Day, but we like to treat ourselves to a box of the dearer ones, only when they're on offer though.

Hope you all have a good day

Jo - it's time Tom realised it's a 'thing' that once you're earning you pay keep. End of.

Tell him there's some palatial cardboard housing in the centre of Birmingham that you don't pay rent for. It doesn't come with any home comforts but, oh wait, one has to pay for those.

As for budgate - just flippin tell them to lay off your things.

Good afternoon all.

It's bright, dry and sunny here. Hard to believe that it's Christmas next week. How time flies.

I'm putting the finishing touches today to my tomorrow's Golden Oldies Music Night, here at the Lodge, which of course will have a distinct Christmas flavour.

Hope you all have a pleasant day.

Gosh my neighbour can walk! We'd done well over 12k steps by the time we got back Just trying to summon up enthusiasm for the present wrapping

Jo, I feel the same as Ally! B pays us keep and has done for years - and we put it up when she got Noodle as his vicarious uses a lot of electric

It's not even as if living expenses are new to him, he was paying £400 per month for his flat last year and then had food costs on top of that. John's going to have to have a word with him, I'm going to go ballistic if I have to bring anything up with him again today. I've already had a good shout this morning about hot taps not being turned off properly and empty toilet rolls not being replaced.

My ear buds are marked with pink nail varnish, as are my chargers. I'm pretty sure the ones I use for my iPad have been swapped too, they were perfect last night and today just have sound on one side. I think it's revenge for the fact that I washed his jeans with his earbuds in the pocket the other day. It's their responsibility to check pockets before they put things in to wash.

It's upsetting when your children let you down like that Jo.
I know where Ally's coming from. It can be a jolt to realise that you have to pay to live at home when previously it was free, but this is all part of growing up, and ypur son should realise this by now.
