24 hours ago I gave Teenwolf a laundry basket, with these instructions, \u2018nothing will be washed unless it gets put in here\u2019. So it was with great trepidation and an ill-advised feeling of optimism that I trudged through the detritus in his room this morning. Gas mask on face and long stick in hand I made my through to the new concept,<\/p>\n

The alien concept, the new and in my case very welcome member of the household. The laundry basket.<\/p>\n

Imagine my shock? Despair? Or to be truthful feeling of resignation as I glanced in to find ?<\/p>\n

One sock.<\/p>\n

Not even two. Just one.<\/p>\n

Lucky for the wolf he is at school or if I, with the help of a couple of sherpas, would got out of the corner of that room FAST and gone through him like a dose of salts.<\/p>\n

BUT. He was at school- chatting no doubt. That is a family failing.<\/p>\n

Anyway, needing a drink \u2013 a coffee I don\u2019t start the hard stuff until much later \u2013 well a wee bit later \u2013 I made my way to the coffee machine in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

To be more specific the Nespresso <\/a>machine\u00a0 which I purchased during a particularly hormonal day after seeing George Clooney advertising them. Swoon. If it brings Clooney calling I thought I\u2019m having one of those. I am still waiting. Looking at the state of me it\u2019s just as well. George would just runaway to be honest.<\/p>\n

So slumped on a kitchen stool sipping my \u2018Cosi\u2019 with extra creamy milk and a biscuit I looked over at the two bemused mutts. Sensing despair Sam, the lab (the lights are on and nobodys home) came shuffling over to offer me a gift.<\/p>\n

She often offers potatoes, eggs, apples, bits of paper, shoes whatever she has found and secreted on her beanbag. \u2018Thank you\u2019 I said as she thumped her tail on the kitchen floor and released the gift into my hand.<\/p>\n

It was only the other bloody sock.<\/p>\n

The matching pair from The Lone Ranger sock in the laundry basket.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
No - she always looks like she has just been hit. She hasn't.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So she must have been in the basket to retrieve it which explains the mono sock.<\/p>\n

Either that or Teenwolf only put one in there. But my blood pressure can\u2019t take that thought.<\/p>\n

I am sticking to my guns though \u2013 and at this rate the carpet \u2013 I am not washing anything that doesn\u2019t go into that basket.<\/p>\n

So Teenwolf came back from school.<\/p>\n

My jaw was set but I refrained from saying a word.<\/p>\n

‘Hi Mum’ he said and gave me a big hug \u2013 nowadays this is just to compare his height against mine \u2013 he is a good 5\u201d taller than me which amuses his testosterone flushed form rather than a genuine hug of affection. Still you take it where you can get it.<\/p>\n

Day 3 tomorrow\u2026..things can only get better. And to help the day let’s have a bit of George….swoontastic.<\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
