Everything is so expensive, TV and the PC is very addictive and it is tempting to leave them there, because at least they are quiet! The summer holidays seem so much harder these days, even my mother agrees with this. There used to be so much free entertainement in the local parks when I was younger. I wish they had the freedom to roam as I did at their age, or I wish I had the courage to allow them to 'roam' is probably more the point. I am booking my place in that scottish place today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4646749189327464337.post-45792970379940925792010-07-26T01:20:58.065+01:002010-07-26T01:20:58.065+01:00I wish I could say that I relate or understand, bu...I wish I could say that I relate or understand, but I do not have any children at this point in my life.

I love it when you post these kinds of stories - it makes me feel really good about myself & very satisfied with my life choices.<br /><br />Seriously though; I think you should put an advert in the paper & see if you can swap them for a puppy. Even if it's just one of them.<br /><br />I've noticed you're blogging more now you have your lap top.

I find a glass(or ten)of chilled white wine helps. Failing that, lock yourself in a darkened room with a bottle of gin and a few cans of tonic.
