With the husband and the kids out at football practice and this huge pile of ironing to tackle I decided to motivate indulge myself with the music I love but my husband hates, like Wet Wet Wet, Barbara Streisand, Spandau Ballet – you get the picture.

I was having a great time, until I discovered a condom in some pyjama shorts that could belong to either of my soon to be 16 year old twin boys!

Sadly, I admit to spending some time trying to work out if it had been used – a difficult task considering it had endured a 40 degree cycle wash!! I was pleased to discover it hadn’t!

That’s ok then – just the result of typical teenage schoolboy curiosity!! Well that’s how I chose to handle the situation anyway, it helps keep me sane and my ‘cool mum’ persona remains in tact!! Well, for another week at least!
