Further proof to motivate me!
Today my doorbell rang and although I was just about to get into the bath and in my robe, my 17 year old son who was dressed did not answer the door, (mainly because he is 17 I think) it was his football coach, (I think another reason for not answering the door!) he wanted to find out if Josh is going to sign for his team…

I then saw Meryl…

Very confused about 'biscuits'
OK I went out to Marks and Spencer today to have a cappuccino with friends, and they come with a teeny biscuit.
