It is, I'm actually ok with it, they're very easy to care for just chuck the compost out once a month and refill tank, bung a cuttle fish in and any odds and ends of veg and some fruit, live for years, don't smell and they can't run away or harm you. Perfect for a 5yo boy I think!
Got dsis her doll, they're creepy, dd went loopy when she saw it because if Charley likes it it must be cool. Argos 3 for 2 was back on so got dbro the nerf gun and target set, and got one of them free for my cousins birthday this weekend, sorted :)
I've just made a huge pot of leek and potato soup , house smells interesting now though!
Me and dp are off to see the ils for the day tomorrow my Mums having the dcs as its going to be a hard visit, we had planned to go see his Grandad but reality is going to hit dp while we are miles away it doesn't seem real to him, I'm rather anxious about it all, its 2yr anniversary of loosing my Grandma next week so I'm wibbly anyway.
