Running around in circles... aka... Football

I'm doing a spot of catching up! I don't know where the days go??

So what have you missed?

Car failed MOT... drove home (from Chester) in Mr CleanSlate's Dad's car.... at the door to our house in Manchester, realised house keys were still in our car... at 8pm... turned around and drove back.... took rascals to a farm shop cafe.... they were noisy... other customers voted with their feet and left .... no.1 rascal pushed the swing into no.2 rascal's face... no.2 rascal has split lip*... computers at work are down... this should be good excuse for a doss but I only work 3 days a week and I don't have enough time to do everything- arrggh... washing machine has broken... laundrette are charging me £22 for 2 loads of washing that they can have ready in 72 hours....

BUT... no.2 son passed his hearing test. We had a nice night away on Saturday, the sun is shining and the boys played football in the garden after tea, so it can't all be that bad, can it?? (But please can I have my washing machine back??!)


*please see picture for proof of no.2 son's wellbeing
