.....why there is a pair of pink spotty knickers hanging from one of the hall lights....
....why every single one of the fourteen kitchen cupboard doors is open....
....why nobody in this house bothers with me unless I am on the phone or in the bath, when I suddenly become the most exciting person on earth.......
....why, despite the fact that I seem to do obscene amounts of washing and ironing, nobody ever has anything to wear......
....why, when I discovered the Football Fanatic scrabbling under her bed in the dark and asked what she was doing, she replied, 'I'm looking for the tomato sauce'....
AND WHY IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT'S HOLY IS THERE A STRAY KITTEN IN A BASKET IN THE PORCH???????

I wish I knew the answers but your post made me laugh.
I think there better be a toddy of something in that cuppa...
Hmm. Sounds almost normal.
Sounds like one of your lot has acquired a new 'friend'!
Count to ten....no, actually, make that a hundred!
Ah, you need a holiday and not tell the lot of them where you are for at least a week! Why have you got a kitten in a basket? Is that kinda retro food like chicken in a basket used to be?!
The knickers ... have you been swinging from the chandeliers again? ;-) x
Your cup 's full already Jackie
That sounds like my daughter's household1
As Maggie May said, I wish I had the answer! I ask myself most of these same questions about 100 times a day!!! :)
I do enjoy your posts so much!
So familiar. Except for the knickers on the hall lamp. The mind boggles!
Your life is so interesting! I guess 5 girls will do that to a household though!
Where else would you keep the tomato sauce?
Is it a quiz? :0
Has anyone thought to offer that poor kitten a drink yet?
Sounds like a lot of fun in your house!
looking for tomato sause? LOL! too funny!
sounds like regular coffee ain't cuttin' it for you today...you need some caffe` corretto!!!
Sounds like kitty wants to become an extra family member.
Forgot to say - could you look after my kitten for a few days? I have to go on holiday. ;0)
I do like this post. It reminds me of life in my house, before my lot upped and went. You'll miss it all, when it's no longer happening!
No answers only plenty more tea and sympathy.
That all sounds perfectly normal Jackie! Lovely... And my Daughter still manages to telephone when I'm either on the loo or in the shower - no kidding. I think they have this sixth sense about it. M :-)
PS Hope you didn't eat the kitten-in-a-basket!
What a kitten! How wonderful...don't offer it the under the bed tomato sauce though...it would prefer a bowl of milk and maybe some tuna.

Yes and yes again!! You've said so much in so few words.
I know this exciting woman in the bathroom routine so well!... Mum? Mum? Are you in there?
I have banned the children from calling me "Mum?". Not out of mean spirit but because it's much like being shocked with an electric cattle prod, I find.
Mum? Can I...
Mum? Where are you...
Mum? He's doing my head in...
Mum? I'm hungry...
MUM? I'm bored...
I've started answering the "Mum?"s with: Ready! in a mock cheery voice. Through clenched teeth.
I expect this is all - - n o r m a l - -
Hi there! You've won an award!
