Weather is rotten outside, so the fire is lit and I have built #1 daughter a tent in the livingroom out of a wooden clothes horse with a blanket draped over it. She's happily sitting in it with bunny and lots of cushions, chatting and singing away.
My mum used to do the same for me when I was wee. I'd forgotten how much fun it was!
Ah bless her!
Brings back lovely memories of me and my 9 sisblings when we were growing up. we got up to all sorts of funny tricks--some must have drove muvver mad x lol
Sweet ! My mum did the same. When I was little, my great delight was any big cardboard box, because you could hide in it, make it an imaginary tent, get inside and roll around in it , all kinds of things which the childish imagination could invent. And as for the pots and pans under the sink! Much better than any expensive toy drum, or soldier's helmet or shield!
2sp, my Mother didnt do too bad really.
She would go out shopping and when she came back, she'd find that her living room had been changed round and done and dusted.
Mum didnt have time to be houseproud, so we willingly done jobs for her while she was out, and we loved it. I had 4 younger than me.
She never ever told us off bless her x lol
