The kids have all had colds recently.
"Dad, I got a runny nose," says L.
I turn around to see two thick streams on her top lip. "Well, get a tissue and blow it then."
F's a bit older so doesn't need the prompting.
C, however, spends the whole day sniffing. "C, blow your nose," we repeat time and time again.
"Alright then," he answers before tottering off sniffing away.
About 9pm last night he wakes up groaning and empties his stomach all over his bed. It's like a scence from Ghostbusters.
Well, that's what you get with a belly full of roast potatoes and snot. BLOW YOUR NOSE.

Christmas lists
So we're talking to our three little charmers about what they want for Christmas.
C (3) comes out with the usual; dinosaurs, cars, chocolate.
F (5); Sky-dancers (no idea), costumes, Dr. Who stuff.
L (3) says, "I want a fairy sky-dancer, fairy costume, fairy Dr. Who and a cactus."
"Huh, a cattus? What's a cattus?" asks F.
Hands on hips, L replies, "Duh! It's a plant with spikes on," and then rolls her eyes.
3 going on 13.

Freecycle
Recently we've been camping in a tent my Mum got for us. It's a cheap way of having a holiday and quite a lot of fun with the kids, except when they need a piss first thing in the morning or during the night and we've got to tramp throught the rain to the toliet blocks.
Someone posted a porta-potty on Freecycle, we got in touch and arranged to pick it up. Wow, this is generous, we're going to get a free camping toilet. No more 4am trips to the toliet blocks. Yippee!
Last night we drove up there and met the guy outside the scout hall, he had the porta-loo in his car. He was a scout master and this loo was surplus to requirements, they'd only found it during a clear out of the storage hut and it had probably been there for 8 years or so.
We're having quite a chat with him about camping trips and stuff when he hands the loo to my wife. As she takes it, it shifts a little and from within we hear a 'SLOSH'. Hmmm, nice, 8 year-old fermented scout's piss. Can't wait to clear that out.
