I'm like that, too. My friends have lots of money and are always off doing exciting things - I am on a tight budget and live a boring(to them), but nice life. I struggle for things to say.

I've just noticed pleasant trees as well.

Oaks, I think.

EdlessAllenPoe · 04/05/2012 11:44

What's new with me is that I tried a new fragrance of bold washing gels and they were great
£4.99 on offer at sainsburys
OP, hows that for an answer?
Feel free to use it!

Svrider · 04/05/2012 11:50

Oooo forgot to tell you the new fragrance is not available at our local shop, so back to usual Sad

ebbandflow · 04/05/2012 11:51

I get asked, "What have you been up to?"

Svrider · 04/05/2012 11:52

Everyone else on this thread is also allowed to use this anecdote

Does anyone else have friends who are always finding inspirational and craft oriented things for their dc to do, thus making me feel totally inadequate for lacking inspiration on how to keep children ranging from 4 to 15 amused (without spending the mortgage equivalent)

thebody · 04/05/2012 11:53

See my sis is always bloody asking me this, she is divorced, no kids, lives in London and is a head teacher so does lots and is always going nice places and doing nice things.

I have 4dcs and am excited that I have a day off today and as all out of house I can give bedrooms a really good clean!!!

Says it all really
