Seem to remember this as a question in an exam many years ago???
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

ROFL.. love it don't you..

I can explain it the easy way if you want??

2 brothers - stepdad- my mother- me (& late sister) + the 2 girls together

1 brother - stepmother - dad- me (and late sister) + the 2 sisters & 1 brother together.. they then separated and stepmother had another son with someone else.

My oldest 2 stepbrothers have 6 children (and 2 grandchildren) between them and are 10 years older than me so their children are the same ages as my parents second families.

Joys of divorce!!

Actually that looks like trigonometry and long division!!

:rolleyes: Anyone have any info on Freecycle ?

I hate throwing stuff, my local charity shop are picky about what they take, and me and eBay don't get on all the time !

I wanted to have a look, but I need a Yahoo thing !! More things to join !

Is it any good ? Is it simple ? Can anyone recommend ? Thanks in advance.:beer:

I am a Freecycle moderator (part time) and have given away all sorts of wierd and wonderful things. Someone wanted storage radiator bricks! I had to set up a yahoo user name. I get all my freecycle e mails sent to my yahoo account so I can see them seperately from my other e mails. You need to look for your local group on Freecycle.org Once you are set up you can offer things or post wanted items too. I usually get people who are collecting to pick up from my porch so I often don't see the person who calls. Don't give personal info in your posts, only when you reply to people. Your local group will e mail you all the instructions.

I have managed to do all of todays list with a little help from my son. I am looking forward to a bit of a rest now.

I put all the cleaNABLE PARTS OF MY TWO OVENS AND HOB INTO MY DISHWASHER. SORRY CAPS LOCK STUCK ON. cAN'T SEEM TO GET KEYBOARD TO TYPE WITHOUT HITTING IT REALLY HARD. pUT A DIFFERENT MOONITOR ON YESTERDAY. tHAT CAN'T MAKE A DIFERENCE CAN IT?

Afternoon everyone

Just read all the posts whilst having a cuppa. S'pose I better go and cook tea and start today's jobs.

Pollybear - thought we did the home delivery to save time etc, I would have been raving!

How do you all find the time and motivation to bake, bought ingredients last week, guess what -they're still there. When I worked 3 days it was fine but now I do 5 and am not organised enough.

Afternoon all

Happy birthday Pigpen's baby boy.
AnW's - big hugs and positive vibes all the way. I think the yellow roses is a lovely, lovely touch.

Mudbath :cool: Apologies - Buster clearly had a headache after my internet went down yesterday and the router got reset. DS is working on it and as soon as I have an update, I'll let you know:cool:

Am working from home tomorrow (yipee!) but might just put Buster up somewhere else in the front room so's I can monitor the road as I'm nosey!

Right, kitchen is beckoning - the floor needs doing.

I forgot I had another 'puter I could use!!Back to normal now.

lil_me · 4 March 2008 at 6:06PM

poohbear, welcome back

Well we've had tears and tantrums all round, well except from me. DP lost his temper with DS1 for stamping on his brothers leg. When he tried involving me he got 'I don't want to know!' sick of the hissy fits in here.

Anyway, I did my HHC earlier then went back to bed

Emptied DW when I got back up then collected DS2. Dinners done & eaten, made less mess than I usually do

washers been on, emptied onto airers, will be on again once I've got DS2s uniform off him.
