I have completely outdone myself and I don’t know whether to be proud of it or embarrassed.
You see I decided to spend a proportion of my day sorting out my odd sock bags . . yes I have more than one bag.
I went for the world record of sock pairing and matched up 164 pairs and I’m not done yet. Can anyone beat that? Would anyone admit to it?
I still have about a hundred lonely socks (very conservative estimate, it’s probably much higher than that). 
To be fair many need to go to the textile recycling bins as they either have loose elastic, they’re really worn out or they’ve lost their colour (especially the black ones).
I’ve been amazed by the number of different colour black socks I have. You think you’ve got a pair but they just won’t match up. I am particular you know!
These socks have been littering my bedroom and I got fed up of the children constantly whining "we’ve got no socks".
So now I have floor space back in my bedroom and no nagging from the kids!

I used to be very fussy about matching up the many shades of black. I was doing it today, then thought, “Bugger it!”
You can’t see his socks under his trousers anyway!

I’ve just hoped they haven’t been doing PE.

Hubby is at a stag party. I don’t like being ‘Home Alone’

I know what you mean. If my hubby goes out to see his friends I wait up for him!

No wonder you’ve got your lonely face on.
I remember when I was younger, hearing of married couples who had separate beds and couldn’t understand why.
As you get older it seems more and more appealing!

I wonder if there are any women out there (with children) who can remember their last good nights sleep.
I can’t!
