I'm off home to take a sledge hammer to the rest of my kitchen and artex the cieling. I can't wait.
(I am so looking forward to being a grand-dad, even though they are only 6&9 at the moment! - revenge will be mine!)
:-)
I had a friend who's kids never slept at night. After 4 years without an unbroken night they left them with his parents for the night and went to a local hotel for a sleep. Neither sets of parents had any sympathy as aparently they'd both been like that themselves as kids.
6 and 9 that is the age of my grandchildren and how I like giving them noisy toys for birthdays and christmas. The only trouble was that when they were younger and I had them for a weekend their parents used to send them to me with a bag of noisy toys to keep them happy. Number 3 grandchild on the way in March but won't see too much of this one as I can't spend every weekend travelling down to Blackpool. I'd get no running done. So it will be a case of he noisy toys as presents again.
4 years of no sleep heaven forbid. Glad my kids were good sleepers.
Well all must go as I need to make some dinner before we starve - fat chance of that.
Catch you all later.
Bye
Our variation of the popcorn fight is more likely to be:
Tinkerbell: "Waaaaaah! Waaaaaah! Sniffle."
Mum: "What is is, Jinglebells?"
Tinkerbell: "Don't call me Jinglebells. Kevin has taken my popcorn maker and she says I can't have it back."
Angelmouse: "It's true."
Ivor: "Waaaaaah! I hate her. I wish she was dead. I want her out of this family. She's a big poo."
Kevin: "Well, it serves him right. He bit me. Look!" >>>Shows invisible wound<<<
Mum: "And?"
Ivor: "She did this!" >>>Holds his severed forearm up in the air<<<
Mum: "Why?"
Ivor: "She said she was going to break our popcorn maker."
Kevin: "I was trying to read and they were talking about popping corn. And they NEVER wash their hands after going to the loo. And Angelmouse has peed herself again."
Mum: "Kevin, couldn't you read in your study?"
Kevin: >>>Snorts derisively<<<
Mum: "KEVIN! Bring that popcorn maker here AT ONCE and IN ONE PIECE or I shall thump the living daylights out of you. GO! NOW!
>>>Kevin flies up the stairs, returns, throws popcorn maker at siblings, and flies back upstairs with broomstick-wielding mother in pursuit<<<
before I go make dinner maybe it wouldn't be a good idea then to buy the popcorn maker after all. But then again Christmas is meant to be entertaining!! Sorry
Bye for now everyone.
My mother used to tell me that she hoped one day I'd have a daughter as difficult as I was so that I'd understand how bad her life had been with me. That's probably why I've got Kevin.
Glad to see that everybody seems well and in good humour.
Dublin was fantastic and absolute carnage in terms of food and drink.
Managed to pick up cold/cough at the end of the weekend and still haven't got rid of them.
Last run was last Thursday. Will get out again before the end of this week.
On the parenting/being a child front, I can't now believe how rude my brother and I were. We used to insist on listening to Radio1 in the car. Now realise it must have been hell for the parents.
Have good intention of listenting to what I want in the car but first gotta get married and then have kids.
Glenn: its not too late and I have read it. Would be interested to hear how you get hold of a whiooet?
Best

With the benefit of hindsight, fifteen or so years later: HE WAS my mum's favourite (tho my dad was pretty impartial) and she DID almost always side with him. And now I realise she still does. (He was always the 'cute' one you see .. used to flutter those eyelashes and get away with absolute bloody murder!)
I don't mind on my brother's part - I'd probably have milked it for all it was worth too! - but it definitely made me think a bit less of my mother when I realised the truth at about age 20 or so, I'm sorry to say.
then trolled around Selfridges bitchin about the mens fashion assisstants with my mate Jules and pretenting that i knew my Versace from my DKNY - and that i could afford it
then had the equivalent of an orgy - a wander round the food hall - eurogastroporn mwah! Nigella would have been at home there with the 85%lindt and Prestat and Charbonnel and Walker choclate - double mwah!
then ended the evening in starbucks - ofcourse!
which Satan-bucks did you end up the drone-like puppet of in the end?
(i don't really like starbucks. costa is better
Seriously the food hall is yum!
have you been to the european market in albert or st annes square - its good - hot gluewein is anyway!
hi btw!
Opposite the printworks? Oh you mean the one next to Urbis! I don't really like Starbucks but I'm a regular in the Costa that's in Waterstone's on Deansgate .. read and sup!
btw where is everyone?
i discovered the big Borders book and music store out at cheshire oaks when i woked in chester and used to love mooching around there and in the cafe til late - theres one in stockport now!
oh dear re: date! mind you i haven't had one for a bit, my last few g/fs I sort of got by chance and I haven't been on once since I split with last g/f in summer! i've forgotten the basics i think
objet d'amour loves Waterstones - so maybe Borders wouldnt be so bad!
speak later
2DTV is ace
hope you had a great time! back to nice temperatures here!
