My house is a wreck! No, it doesn’t actually look like this but it’s close enough.

Never again will I have small untramelled boys running roughshod through my hallowed halls. I have banned all grandsons, not one is to approach closer than 50m in the future. If I could get away with it I would ban my sons too.

Why do men have to trample over vegetable beds, clomp inside with bits of garden stuck to their feet, plonk their grubby jeans on my upholstery, clunk their beer mugs on the jarrah wood table and leave their long legs sticking out all over the carpet in the hope of tripping someone?

Oh I can’t talk about Christmas Day! Although it’s a trip worth reliving as part of the healing process.

I blame the modern obsession with lead.

I’ve just read in Discovery News -Christmas lights contain lead that a whole heap of this toxic metal which disrupts brain development and incidentally causes aggressive behavior is in our Christmas lights!

Crikey! I’ve got miles of the bloody things (at least I did before one of the grandsons pulled down the loops from the roof). I’ll chuck them right away.
