Mrs Frugal Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 You should have told me that before I climbed up, Trish !! Long-suffering Hubby says he's going to make nice new (very solid) steps at the weekend so that I don't do it again the next time I get the urge to do some DIY!!

Trish Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I only ever get the urge to GALMI (Get A Little Man In) or DISE (Do It Someone Else) Not enough time left after children, cats and chickens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 After today, Trish, I may well follow your philosophy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 3, 2005 Author Share Posted March 3, 2005 Oooh Kate - that sounds painful Hope you are OK? I'm always doing things like that - Carl found me at the top of the steps when I had my leg in full plaster. It was the hammering which alerted him or I'd have got away with it.! I'm afraid I'm DIM - Do It Myself!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammi J Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Oow Kate, Glad you didn't hurt yourself but I think you should have a nice bubble bath by candle light to stop any aches that may be lurking, waiting to get you tomorrow. Come on you know it makes sense. Lock yourself in that bathroom and relax. Sammi -x- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 Sammi - I know you're feeling poorly, but what is that picture?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 It looks like a little cute wizard to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammi J Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Oh Lesley, It's my little dancing Leprechaun! The picture it very small and can't seem to make it any bigger. I wondered why no one had said anything about it, now I know it's because you either can't tell what it is or you don't like it!! Oh well, never mind.

Mrs Frugal Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I like it, Sammi. I was going to comment on it when you first put it on but I got waylaid (again!) and never got round to it. I think he's a cute little chap and if he knows where the end of the rainbow is, I'll be there with my spade, digging for gold !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 No Sarah - not the children! References to chocolate should give the game away though Best leave it there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 OK .. I was there last week . Chill .. maybe borrow Sammi's hot water bottle. Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Are you sure it's a gun??? Pass Lesley a big bar of Green & Black's and her glasses - I think it's a stick or a magic wand??? I don't think it's a gun - hang on, I'll get our resident armoury expert in to have a look at it........ .......OK, he thinks it's a gun but then again, he thinks bits of Lego, sticks, kitchen roll tubes etc are guns so maybe he's not the best judge in the world ! I still think it's a stick - not the gun sort though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 Look here for a chocolate party - www.chocolate-parties.com My daughter has these - I think it's time she had another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Right I won't do my individual quote ... but I reckon it looks like a gun too . Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammi J Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 It's a fun, friendly, dancing Leprechaun, not an evil fighting one. His holding his Shillelagh (which is a magic stick which he use for traveling on the rainbow) and a picture of lucky clover.

SarahJo Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 of course Sammi ... I saw one in Macclesfiled town centre this morning doing exactly that. Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 See, I told you it was a stick!! Sarah - what have you done to your profile ! All you were supposed to be doing was learning how to use quotes in your postings, not make your eglu and hens vanish!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 Sarah has been asking how to do the signature bit as well, and - despite her shouting at me in a PM because I didn't quite understand what she was getting at - I've sent another PM. Sarah appears to have gone to bed but.........Watch this space Or rather - watch Sarah's signature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Sammi, I love your Avatar Esther (9) was looking earlier & said she really liked it but asked what he was doing. Having caught screen /vision problem from Lesley I peered and thought it was a gun too (& quickly dismissed other thoughts) but E. thought he was writing in a notebook ( spelling) so I looked again & thought he had a paintbrush. Modern art again? Ah, both wrong...I'll show Esther again tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 KATE SAID - Sarah - what have you done to your profile ! All you were supposed to be doing was learning how to use quotes in your postings, not make your eglu and hens vanish Nothing .. I didn't have any pics to begin with, as I did not know how to put them in , this morning I had hens and no eglu for a while ... and now ... YES ITS SORTED . Thanks to Lesley ... who has been shouting back, she went to watch Corrie last night, then decided she couldn't face me again, so watched everything else too .

Lesley Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 I still haven't watched Grumpy Old Women yet - ran out of time! But can do a very good impression myself anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I got the impression that we are supposed to turn into Grumpy Old Women when we turn 40. That can't be right - I hit the big 4-0 in June but I've been a Grumpy Old Woman for years ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Well I don't believe that any of us are Grumpy old Women...its just that everyone around us, and in the whole wide world, has become increasingly annoying, irritating, demanding etc. Strange but true I'm sure its not us Now,,,things I've learned this week.... its not a good idea to stand over magazine rack in bathroom when putting in a contact lens.... and, when you give up and put a new one in, but find it doesn't feel right... don't stand at son's market stall, take it out & say I think there's something wrong with this one.. because, if you do, when you are showing him & saying, " look I'm going to take it back to the opticians cos it looks faulty".. ..the wind will surely blow it right out of your hand & you will have lost 2 in 1 hour & have to buy some more... ...plus look like a right idiot searching the market for the one that blew away.... ,,,when you can't see a lot cos you've only got one lens in now... ...and eveyone thinks you're winking at them would you like to buy some toys Can I help you? Mum, just go...go now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
