The oldest son comes back  effing at me.
Totally ungrateful he is becoming.
Buys him a bike last year for his 18th Birthday,
Didn't want it after he had a go on it.
I sold it after it was starting to rust in the back garden.
He might find himself sleeping in the front garden in the near future!
I was so angry I couldn't sleep.
I sleeps on the sofa!

Hi everyone πŸ‘
Just a small update....
So much has happened in the last 3 weeks,
I have been keeping the blog updated just not published them, as there is a huge gap of posts.
Good news and bad news I have had.
8th May is the 10th Anniversary of my mum passing away.
On a lighter note.
Got some Great vinyl albums from the local Charity Shop↓↓
Hopefully I will get three weeks blog posts published this week....
Fingers crossed 🀞
