    oh dont have any lol, no they are great love my babies to bits (although think the idea of a third is quicly disapeering) but they are hard work, just keep telling myself when evies teeth are through she will settle again, lol not aloowed to do the whisky things these days/not allowed to do anything these days but i might try it, spoke to my mum though and shes going to come and see me this week wich will be nice (we are RAF and live 120miles away so its really nice that they are going to come over) i miss her and sometimes wish i could go for a cuppa, especially days like this.
    unfortunatly taught noah a bad word today when i called an ignorant old woman an old fart when she dicided she didnt do queues and walked stright past us and pushed us out the way with her nose in the air, she then said she was strugling with her basket, so was i with shopping car seats and a 3 year old, lost my rag and told husband she was an old fart so noah told him the same. oops never mind. children are funny

    I like the one's who tap you on the shoulder and ask can they go in front as they're in a hurry, my usual reply (much to DW's horror) is P*ss off, they tend not to ask again :rotfl:

    I've just read a thread on DFW, from a user called mervyn, the title of the thread "don't know what to do next" have a little read

    lol ohh old people are my pet hate at the moment lol, like walking round asda they are so ignorant then when you say something you get the whole youre genration need to learn some respect!!! sorry but i find thers no one ruder than old people and teenage chavs in tracksuits lol. going to find my own little island somewhere and live on there, just me hubby kids and a dog, maybe a few other nice people.
    nah im with you sparky tell them like it is, if id done what that old woman did today she'd have gone mad.
    worst one was when d just had noah and an old man decide he would shove his cain under my pram wheels even though id moved for him, well i let rip right in the middle of the town centre, a new mum with postnatal depression was the wrong person to start with, then he looked shocked and like i was in the wrong, for crying out loud im a mum not a leper lol i am aloud out of the house occasionaly
    back to comping in 2017, fingers crossed :beer:

    You hit the nail right on the head, some of the older generation can be very rude, and expect the world to owe them big time. My Dw knows when I'm about to say something, because I just give a little cough, and she turns away lol. I'm the person that says what other people are thinking, but hey we all have our cross to bear lol

    I need to go and do a bit, or the boss will know I just stay on t'internet all evening, I'll try and catch you before I go home, if I don't get back I'll say G night now, and I'll catch you tomorrow. By the way you don't have to be a dragon when they start dating, just keep embarrasing them lol
