Plum Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Nooooo can't part with any of it. I have been washing and ironing all my s"Ooops, word censored!"s, all the rooms have bits of fabric draped around them. Very pretty OH is wandering around moaning you can't find a rag when you want one. What do I do with all the pens and pencils I seem to accumulate? Do you want them Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoid Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Did you look surprised and walk out the shop? I said something about how rubbish the carrier bags are (not repeatable on a family forum) and took out all the honey covered shopping and carried it home (after placing what was left of the honey and carrier bag in the bin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I am feeling slightly smug as I have gained an evening; the fair is in town so there's now way that I'd be able to park at the gym, so losing an evening's training while Rosie is on lifeguard training has been turned to my advantage and I've done all my home filing and admin while sat in front of the fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Rather sad seeing Lindsay Lohan self destruct I'm not a fan of hers particularly but it is just sad to see anyone self destruct like this, especially in the public eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 She started out as such a pretty girl and quite a good actress, it is horrible to see anyone lose control of their life. On a lighter note I spent a lovely day in the office yesterday, I hadn't been in for over a week. My husband is managing partner therefore I tend to fill in for people and do odd jobs as well as being the credit controller. I have been doing a regular reception stint for a couple of days a week for over a year, but we have just recruited a 23 year old full time in the role because our receptionist and administrator who has worked for us for 33 years is going part time as an achivist at the end of the month. What was so nice though was how much I had been missed and they had set up a new work station for me and I will be doing a lot more general admin. and still doing my regular two days. As someone who has spent a lot of time alone while bringing up the children, it is nice to feel wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolaLayla Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Moved the eglu and run to its winter site today. It was a harder job than I thought as the grass had grown around the 'skirt' and it was very difficult to pull up Thankfully OH helped.

snowberry Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I'm getting very tired of my weimaraner's attempts to retrieve cake from the worktops! It's not something I buy as we're not cake eaters but I sometimes get the urge to bake some.... First was the Cadbury Flake cake that a visitor left for us...then the cappacino cake I made the other day (all 6600 calories of it ) I just don't know how she can reach so far...

Griffin Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 My ghastly FIL, who spent the last seven years trying to make my life hell with his bullying and manipulating died this morning. I've just been helping daughter number two do a water change and clean up in her biggest fish tank and we've found seven baby Mollies. She is delighted. We've moved them to our nursery tank which we used recently to rear two other baby Mollies. Going to take the girls out to buy baby fish food while my lovely OH spends time in the pub with his brothers. The circle of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 The only shame is that some people behave in such a way that their family aren't sorry when they die. I have a family member who I suspect will cause the same feelings. Lovely news about the baby fish . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I made two lemon drizzle cakes in the week, took one into work and put t'other in the freezer as we had some in the cake tin. I took it out of the freezer this morning and put it right at the back of the draining board, still wrapped in foil, to defrost. I've just come home to find Cyrus ganneting down the cake the little beggar is in no doubt that he's not in favour! Ruby doesn't seem to have been involved, in fact she was in her bed when I got back, but she still feels guilty and keeps bringing me toys .... blooming lurchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Got back from a week trip with the school to Cornwall last night.

Geoid Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I invested 10p in a bag for life today, as I was buying some more honey and I didn't fancy it exploding and going over my shopping again. By the time I had got home, the bag already had 6 or so rips in it due to the pointy edges of milk cartons etc rubbing against it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Our water supply has turned brown. I was in the shower when I noticed, just started to rinse shampoo out of my hair. I have given myself a all over baby wipe wash but still have shampoo in my hair so have got a pan of bottled water heating on the hob to wash it again. Also had to stop the washing machine mid cycle so that the laundry doesn't get rinsed in dirty water. Scottish Water are investigating according to a recorded message. We still have a few bottles of water left from a few weeks ago when E Coli was discovered in the water supply. The Chickens will have to wait a while before I re fill their drinkers today although they prefer to drink from muddy puddles given the chance.
