Sooo, isn't this site a bit dull and predictable for you? Not bored yet?

Grin Really? I'm surprised your teens are awake at this time, if they didn't have to go anywhere.
mummyjogs · 26/03/2014 09:51

Very hyperactive. They don't sleep much you see.

It's all those new-fangled games consoles that I blame.
Sell them and go for a lovely, bracing walk with them. 5 miles is a decent stretch, on a daily basis.
Fresh air, exercise and clean thoughts. That's the ticket.

mummyjogs · 26/03/2014 09:55

Walking is for chumps though...

Roller skates then.
You can tow the unwilling ones along behind the car, less exercise but more fresh air.

mummyjogs · 26/03/2014 09:58

Put them on skateboards and push them down a hill???

They don't have consoles though, do they? Not any more.

Just leave them in sleeping bags. Then they'll look like slugs as well as acting like them.

TheTerribleBaroness · 26/03/2014 10:12

Just get stoned. They'll stop smashin' the consoles and you can just chillz and talk peace, harmony and luuuurve.

BigPappiBagz · 26/03/2014 10:13

They can wash the Alfa Romeo. Will get tow ropes and roller skates

mummyjogs · 26/03/2014 10:15

They ain't been with Tom Hughes though, so cannot get stoned Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry

I have absolutely NO idea what that means. Can someone translate please.

I am impressed by the use of the word 'cannot'. Might just have slipped a bit out of character there.......

Put some Michael Bolton on and chill.
