I wish I could convince my two eldest (teenagers) that they are really not missing out and leave me and mr vickilou in peace! It's quite frankly a miracle we had 3 more

My wife is at home and although she seemed worse than when she went in I think today she seems a little better. Although i have mastered the infernal washing machine i still cant work out the tumble drier. However the real disaster is ironing, I just can't do it so i don't.

Dear Sutton Park visitors - please be aware of the following guidelines for being responsible members of society:

Do not park thoughtlessly
Drive slowly on the roadways - there are rabbits/children/dogs at every turn
Do not sit in your car with all windows down playing music at a million decibels
Do not say 'HEY - butterfly!! I'm going to catch it and pull its wings off!!!'
Do not walk down the roadways smoking a joint.

We have a very nice dinning table and chairs. But at the moment it has a massive board on with a Hornby train set on and its been on it now for nearly two weeks.
This train set was meant to be for everyone and to be put away on a regular basis. So far though it has had two boards to sit on, some special felt to sit on, a shed load of paper to sit on and we have gone through rolls of double sided sticky tape.
Yesterday I ended up going to Tes@o to get some more sticky tape again. While I was there I muttered "better get two rolls to stop him moaning" forgetting I had Will with me of course he told his dad that first thing once we got back. He was not impressed.
My moan is I want my table back. Firstly to eat at, kids want to do their arts and crafts on it and I am sick of looking at the train set on it. I want my kitchen back and not be shifting all the train stuff from one side to another. I am also getting fed up of having to go through to the train shop I swear the OH is on first name terms with the shop owner and knuckle bumps him when he goes in.
Oh and its not interesting to watch a train just going round and round in a circle. There I've said it in fact, sorry train fans, it bores both me and the kids.

Morning all!
It's cloudy here and I'm a bit stiff and achey from all the outdoor work, so I might give the gardening a miss today (apart from a potter in the greenhouse, obviously).

I hate all spectator sports and have just realised that the Mayday weekend is going to a pain with the Tour de Yorkshire disrupting life in Yorkshire. Unfortunately it passes very close to where I live. How can anyone find it interesting watching a load of cyclists go past in a few minutes? Why do any roads have to be closed for more than a few minutes?

I just hope it's a flop and then hopefully we won't have it again.

Thompson and Morgan sending me 10 packets of seeds where there are 5 different varieties x 2 (and VC gets 10 different ones)

People that are negative about physical exercise, I gave several friends get into cycling after watching the Tour de France and are much fitter for it and that's before I even consider the impact of some of the Olympic events. If the weather is nice then it'd make a lovely family day out with a picnic. Then again I love many spectator sports, life would be much the poorer if I couldn't share in their excellence.
