Hi guys
Mrs johnlambert earns a kings ransom, I've got some investments, do some online consulting and also have my Army pension so I dont need to work, we talked it over last night and we agreed that I would stay at home looking after the johnlambert sprogs while mrs johnlambert continues with her career.
Now then ladies what do I do now?
I've breakfasted the boys, done the washing up, and got them dressed and they are watching cbeebie so now I'm bored, I'm on my umteenth coffee, what do you all do all day??

Mrs JL would love something girlie from her three men. Take it from me - similarly outnumbered!! (You sound like a whizz in the kitchen though, so make sure you bring your boys up the same - not afraid of cooking. Something I feel strongly about!!)
Modelling dough is great to make, as Hellyon said in that fantastic list (duly saved for reference now!) but Early Learning Centre do air-hardening clay which is even better, as you can keep the best models then paint them when they've gone hard.
Something we do quite often on a sunny evening is bath in the paddling pool. Instead of filling up the bath, I let them have a much warmer pool outside and put their bubbles in too - they always think that's great! The lady next door thinks it's hilarious and comes round to watch. (Not quite how that sounds!!)

Trying to get some Croatian civilians out of a village called Dola when the Serbs started shelling us, I cant remember much, one minute I was helping an old man out of his house, the next thing the world was filled with sledgehammers hitting my back and neck and everything went black. Once they took the mud out of my mouth I started to breath right but I couldnt move my legs so they took me away in my own bl00dy ambulance!!!!!
