I wasn't yesterday mind...

So , we are taking ss12 on this long haul holiday. 

This has given bm reason to get in touch many, many times.. at this point not sure If she's trying spoil everything or got the worst case of ocd. Anyways, 6 messages at least have requested we provide a suitcase for him,  (what Is your problem bm?!) So finally we ask What happened to the suitcase he's got?

It's too small. 

Right so you're not going to buy him another for when he more frequently holidays with you?

No answer.

So eff it, I buy him a 2nd hand suitcase set of fb. Go collect it.

Dh has a look and says , ohhh they're a bit old fashioned I don't think he'll like them

Are you actually serious ?!! Are you telling me ss would be snobbish over a suitcase when he's going on a long haul holiday? Or Is it your secret snobbery you dnt want him or bm to see its 2nd hand? Whatever I dnt care.

This weekend,  I was entertaining dd while dh got on with some jobs . Big ones I thought ,like we need some concrete laying...

Recently a guest left a lovely looking but filthy suitcase in our annexe, I thought it was binned...well there's no concrete being laid, dh is up in the loft then out in the yard, jet washing the flipping suitcase !!!! I can't speak at this point,  I'm out. I simply said good luck drying it , it'll probably not dry and stink.

Now dh works at a car dealership smart repairing cars.. which requires mild to moderate industrial heaters I guess 

He has just messaged me to say ' I put the suitcase in the oven , and it's baking OK, it really is '

I am absolutely howling laughing.  I've just got to. I hope ss and bm appreciate this suitcase , if it survives
