It’s been a very long day..sigh. I was woken by the teenager asking me to wash her socks, oh joy! Darling Husband pulled the quilt off me, because I was annoying him looking so snuggled up and cosy…sigh. I gave sock washing instructions which I discovered were followed to the letter…apart from the actual sock bit, they were no-where to be seen.

You know sometimes I think I’m wasting my money on her education! I dried the socks with the hairdryer, cooked scrambled eggs and baked beans, persuaded the younger two to get dressed and took them out for a walk. “Why do boys have willies, Mummy?” …sigh… Me: ‘OOh, look, there’s a butterfly!’ I came in to the kitchen and made a cup of tea.

Read a ton of emails Emptied the dishwasher and re-stacked it Made a loaf of Bread Fed 28 pigs and carried 10 buckets of water Put the washing out Filled the washing machine Cooked sausages and peeled potatoes Answered emails Made Chelsea Buns and Danish Pastries Put the washing out Filled the washing machine.

Found something for tea out the freezer Answered emails Put the washing out Filled the washing machine (Isn’t life terribly exciting some days?) ‘Yes of course I can dispatch that today!’ (whimper) I was terribly brave and followed instructions to go into a supermarket other than Waitrose (OHMYGOD!!) and buy their bargain of the day Daz soap powder (we use a ton a day, I’m sure).

I paid a bill Sent the enormous parcel Came home to find Darling Husband asleep on the sofa..grrr! Put tea on to cook worked on my site Put tea out Uttered the immortal words…”Darling sit down and take your snorkel off at the table” (No, I’m not kidding) Worked on my site some more Bathed the girls Fed 28 Pigs and carried 10 buckets of water Oh..I forgot to mention, my new boots, did you know I have new boots?  Hmm, well, my lovely new boots were outside the back door where all boots should be. I picked them up, shook them and bashed them delicately against the wall to loosen any dust or foreign objects that might have found their way in. All dust out… Foot in! Squelch! Gosh what’s that green sticky stuff on my sock and more importantly in my new boot??? A very squished caterpillar…euck!! Shudder! yuck yuckky yuck…a very long day indeed. Another true story written and presented by Frog in the Field Party Bag Company
