Teenage red letter day!

This will give hope to so many people with teenage children - perhaps you should post this over on 'the other side' too

Sounds as though your resident teenager is rejoining the human race.

NellieM I keep cardboard toilet roll inners to plant sweet pea seeds in, so I have a good excuse for stockpiling them.

(I bring home the big blue plastic mushroom boxes from the supermarket, stand the tubes upright in them and fill up the whole thing with compost. The sweet pea roots grow down separately and don't get tangled. You don't even need to take the tubes off for planting out, if you plant them deep enough to cover the cardboard)

She has offered to drag bins up the hill too. If I bring them up after they've been emptied, I tow them behind the car! It's hard work. Mind you I'm sixty and slightly decrepit; she's fifteen. I was stronger then too. Good on ya, minibags!

Thatbags I cleared away three toilet roll insides from my bathroom the other day.
sluttty granny.

merlot, [snort!]

Did she fold a pointy end on the first sheet to prove it's FRESH like they do on Four in a Bed?

Bags Thanks for the chuckle.

The right way round doesn't matter, as long as they do it! My S (no DS, he's naffed me off today) has just walked out refusing to put rubbish out and put his own clothes on the line! Oh well, help and sympathy over, back to him being an asshole.

This made me laugh out loud and I'm sure will strike a chord with many wives/parents.

anno, yes!

nina, no! Cardboard cylinder left on the bathroom windowsill, but it's a start

Ah, but did the empty cardboard bit reach the recycling bin ? Or was it on the edge of the basin

It is good to know that all the training is paying off.

Did she put the roll on the holder the right way round?

Love your responses, kitty, mini, & Lona

Just got to train Toad now?

????

Whatever you do bags, don't mention it!
