You should be happy. You have officially moved past the "same shit, different location" phase of parenting!<br /><br />As for the book situation, I have never done the take one, replace it at those holiday houses. I like the idea though and think it is how it be done if it isn't the actual rules.

Am feeling less 'meh' today, probably because I've been able to use one of my favourite words several times today: ennui. Love it. <br /><br />@ClaireyH You are right about those photos. I shouldn't allow them to join the two years' worth of unsorted photos on my computer. Good advice!<br /><br />As for the socks, I have to confess that this is the NEW batch of mismatched socks. I dealt with the old colony, which numbered considerably higher, by simply throwing them out. Oh. Just thought of something - did I throw out the match for my current crop of 5 in the great purge?

Do you do the voices too?<br /><br />Sometimes the only cure for meh days is a good book. Even better if you've picked them up for a song. I'm having a craze on Maggie O'Farrell at the moment and picked up one I hadn't read in the Oxfam shop for a £1. I'm going to read it tonight.
