Take game to DH

Apparently I am meant to remember that the bloke DH needed the game for finishes work at 12. He has mentioned it in passing before, but tis kind of info needing repeating when you text "can you drop off x's game at some point?" Grrr. Now I am the muttered about wife.

How exactly can DH blame you Flame? Why didn't he take it in when he went in this morning?

Well done with the claim form PBM - fingers crossed it actually does some good.

Why are you straightening your hair CWWM? DO you always do it or are you doing something that needs extra-stright hair?

And what are you planning for DS's birthday wasting? (which birthday is it?)
