    Can't you put nets or a blind up rach? - surely they should have frosted glass on a BR window!

    WHY GOD MADE MUMS
    Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following
    questions:

    Why did God make mothers?
    1. She's the only one who knows where the sticky tape is.
    2. Mostly to clean the house.
    3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

    How did God make mothers?
    1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
    2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
    3. God made my Mum just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

    What ingredients are mothers made of ?
    1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean. This is my favorite, well one of many… :)
    2. They had to get their start from mens' bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

    Why did God give you your mother and not some other Mum?
    1. We're related.
    2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's Mums like me.

    What kind of little girl was your Mum?
    1. My Mum has always been my Mum and none of that other stuff.
    2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
    3. They say she used to be nice.

    What did Mum need to know about Dad before she married him?
    1. His last name.
    2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
    3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?

    Why did your Mum marry your Dad?
    1. My Dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mum eats a lot.
    2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
    3. My Grandma says that Mum didn't have her thinking cap on.

    Who's the boss at your house?
    1. Mum doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because Dad's such an idiot.
    2. Mum. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
    3. I guess Mum is, but only because she has a lot more to do than Dad.

    What's the difference between Mums & Dads?
    1. Mums work at work and work at home and Dads just go to work at work.
    2. Mums know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
    3. Dads are taller & stronger, but Mums have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.
    4. Mums have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

    What does your Mum do in her spare time?
    1. Mothers don't have spare time.
    2. To hear her talk, she pays bills all day long.

    What would it take to make your Mum perfect?
    1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
    2. You know, her hair. I'd die it, maybe blue.

    I think we'll have to put a blind up! we just haven't bothered as there are 2 big windowns and there was no real need and we don't own the place (we did put one up in our bathroom though!) I'll have a look when I go to ikea next. Yes they do have frosted glass but doesn't seem to help much.

    MissA I hope you get all the snow, all that is supposed to fall here too as I don't like it!
    rach, sorry but I would mention it incase they don't know.

    It's a bit weird this evening as DPs here, usually Sunday he's not been home until after 8pm. He's suggested movie and a curry so that's ok with me (I moaned wanting to goto the pub) Managed to do the shopping quite well.

    I've got my suit to find, kids to bath, uniforms to find and loads of clean laundry to put away.

    Oh and quidco, thanks for making me check, 2 payments, £5.75 and £96.94 wohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    and I was interested as I have only ever had tape top...

    I had already spotted you posting about that damp house - that is awful - top advice there!
    BTW I use old bits of towel - YOU use velvet - always had you down as a posh bird :rotfl:
