Plum Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Don't encourage her Kate. Oh yes I'll eat a 20 year old sugar mouse. Now wash your mouth out how can you possibly throw away anything your little boy made and where have you been? Think you should do the Feb crafty swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Valkyrie I feel your pain - I was too nice in my 20's - I was followed one evening as I was going to my friends party in Ripper area and this guy started chatting to me on the bus saying he'd seen me at Stamford Hill. Ignored him got off at my stop - dreading the walk up Brady Street Whitechapel as the first bit was dark, poor lighting and then it opened up into residential flats.. This guy then stopped the bus and starting walking after me. This was the 80's before mobiles so I ran up to old man and asked him if i walk with him as a man was following me - we walked up together. It may be less spooky now but you could imagine how those women felt in Ripper times. St Clements (psyche hosp) was down the road and all deprived areas attract people with mental health issues - but why oh why do they target moi.

keyhole kate Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Nope your definately not alone I attract the loonies and the downright weirdos too my kids think it's hilarious that they always latch on to me and start telling me there life stories I think I have one of those faces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 kate - they latch onto me too. a few yrs ago took ES who was about 13 to fracture clinic - made mistake of asking guy where X ray was. He then told me his life story including the fact that his fractures were down to gunshots wounds. ES was pulling my sleeve and hissing dont talk to him. When we got out i was cautioned by my son for wearing lacey tights and an above the knee skirt He said its because I was dressed like a trollope - hardly just above the knee -hardly a belt skirt like the younger laydeees wear.

patsylabrador Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Dear Sir I am unhappy that you let your dogs out all through the night, every night to bark at the sky and that you do nothing to quieten them. I am also unhappy that you think you can sing and that you have a microphone. I am also unhappy that you keep putting sown s"Ooops, word censored!"s of food even though that encourages the largest rats I have ever seen. Yours faithfully Irritated neighbour.

Valkyrie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Plum - you can't eat it!!!!!!!!! I meant, chuck out all the daft things I hold on to! He's almost 22! However as mum is moving she's emptied her loft and we now have his fort that my dad made and loads of toy cars! Throw one old magazine away and I get more stuff in! Where's that mouse - I need to eat it! Er Makes you think is it the sugar or the Tupperware that's kept it in good condition!!! There are a couple of articles that I did manage to eventually hoover (OK vacuum) up - when he had really bad chicken pox in his head, DS kept the enormous scabs with his hair attached in his underwear drawer for years - tucked underneath the lining paper.

Alis girls Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 had a weird dream last night - OH was chopping heads of well known actresses off and keeping round the house in boxes - frightfully disturbing - work up feeling stressed but you know when you want to go back to dream to see what happens next - anyone analysing would say I was disturbed. On lighter note have a week off work - yay - might go away with OH for my 50th and also can do some decorating (boo hiss!!) Bring it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolaLayla Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 when he had really bad chicken pox in his head, DS kept the enormous scabs with his hair attached in his underwear drawer for years - tucked underneath the lining paper. This reminded me that I have one of YS's teeth in my purse. It fell out years ago. I don't really know why I keep it. I may be called upon to produce it for a treasure hunt or some such I do have a selection of the children's teeth I just cannot bear to throw them out and now I am not sure whose is whose. This has now reminded my that my mum used to have our dogs puppy teeth so maybe it runs in the family....oddness that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm trying to keep mine I kept the kids first teeth but no idea where they are now.

Alis girls Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks Plum - love you too I have a selection of my kids teeth too and first hair and 1 baby gro. i always ask child patients if they want to keep their stitches to show friends when i remove them .Years ago kids would love to as they could use in "show and smell" aka "show and tell" - show and smell is much more like it - dead squirrels and like s"Ooops, word censored!"ed off road (thats what a teacher friend has had to deal with ) anyway I digress - todays hi tech kids dont want sutures to impress their mates and mum doesnt want them for the mantelpiece either unless shes on Omlet that is -she can add to teeth and hair and chicken pox scabs - sound of manical laugher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I also keep teeth. My mum kept mine in a little jewellery box tucked in a little bed of cotton wool. So when I had my 2, DS had a little box and DD had a little flowery box - both tucked in little beds of cotton wool. DS's first tooth was lost down our settee and although we ripped the bottom off to find it - it never turned up. So we have tiny letters that were left explaining why no teeth were left under pillows for whatever reason and fairies replies saying they found them so not to worry in teeny tiny writing. No wonder my eyesight is failing!!! So when they were big enough I showed them and they both went YUK!! I kept some of their hair too. I even have 2 chunky plaits when my hair was cut for the first time when I was 10. Still got blue seersucker ribbons tied in neat bows on the ends. I rescued some items from the dustbin when DS cleaned his room out. Some lovely stories that he'd written but the best thing which is still on our noticeboard is a plastic football figure (from a cereal box) which has been mutilated but stapled back together (badly) with a large piece of paper attached saying "successful surgery". At that time he thought he'd be a doctor. I'm so glad he isn't!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I had kept mementoes for Rosie... all in a box; the tape measure that they measured her with when she was born, the clip from her tummy button, hospital wristbands... she chucked them all out in a fit of pique when we argued once. I was devastated when i found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Oh no! That's awful! I'd be devastated and I'm sure she will be too, one day (if she isn't already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I was in tears about it - especially the loss of her scan photos, just thinking about it makes me angry She's never indicated that she misses or regrets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Maybe not now, but in years to come she may regret it but I don't think she'll let on though. OK did you know . . . . . . that if you ever have Wrigleys Big Red chewing gum (really hot cinnamon flavour) and you lick the inside of the wrapper and stick it on your forehead you can actually feel it burning?!! Of course you look a complete idiot walking around until you feel it working. And don't forget to remove it if you go outside the front of your house because neighbours will think you are a loony.

Goosey Lucy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 One day she will understand and be truly sorry but it might not be for a while. It must have been some argument. I agree with Valkyrie that you may never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
