    You forgot the waterproof pants in the safety equipment list...

    Riding crops don't have to hurt, they can be a turn on for some people, but that's another story...No, it's not. I used to have a boyfriend who as soon as he had had a glass of wine would beg me to hit his bare bottom with my riding crop :eek:

    Mistress Piq, at your service!

    On one of the dating sites I frequent infrequently, I was contacted by a man who's raison d'etre was to clean women's houses naked (or in the uniform of my choice, lol) and be taken to task for any failings, tee hee.

    I declined his kind offer........looking at the state of my floors and the fact I have a viewing in an hour's time (wish me luck, only been trying to sell since April last year) and am sat here in my nightie watching Corrie omnibus, reading and chuckling and eating toast, I think I did the wrong thing.....

    There's still time Kittikins, I'm thinking of taking it up [STRIKE]again [/STRIKE] I believe you charge by the hour. Of course in this weather, I will be wearing warm sensible clothes, none of that strappy stuff :eek:

  • There is a huge amount of men who want/need this kind of thing! It's a huge business. There are even cottages that are all fully equipped dungeons to hire! I have given it a go (not for cash i hasten to add) but just found I couldn't stop laughing...not a great image for a Dominatrix. There are also men who will pay for being bathed burped and having a clean nappy put on. It's often crossed my mind it would be a very easy way to earn £100! But i think I'll stick to teaching.

    There's probably a demand for that as well - be chastised by a mother figure in wincyette nightie and sensible slippers :eek:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Morning all - hope you feel better Unixgirl - I will ask for mucho help with spread sheets.
    Mistress Piquant - lovely ring to it - hope you don't freeze this am with Captain.
    MRSA - only one of DD's pals turned up in the end, so we watched a girlie movie (I love that they are at this stage) on the wall which was fun. (we have a projector thingmy - no TV in the living room - figured a projector would be more fun than an expensive telly - and I am a skin flint according to my kids!!!!:rotfl:The Wii and the PS2 go through it too and we have movie night on the wall (most nights over weekend!) so its fun,

    Snowing here - got a lot of work to do for college some PhD work and some 'consultant' work from the summer to write up - need to dig out the photos of the quadrats and check my species list before I write up - did two days in the field and then did a summary which took a couple hours

    - WONDERING if i can stretch it to 4 days rather than 3 but probably pushing my luck - its a baseline first year survey so there isnt much to say really - just make all the flowers stand up to attention and list them.

    Like Piq says - its not rocket science..........:rotfl:its flower science :rotfl:(sorry really really bad joke)

    Ahem
    Today its snowing here - doesn't happen often, we don't get snow, ground frosts etc (2 degrees out at the mo). Need to get something yummy out of the stash for the chookies - there is some left over macaroni in there - its just so horrid and cold.

    DD hassling for charity shops - will stop ranting on here!!! Egg boxes to deliver down to the shop.

    Need to pack up extra seeds and send to a couple 'pals' on here - I have to make sure I don't buy any more - looking out propagator later -think about starting some things off.

    Not much inspirational DFW stuff ......................lilies arrived and they look lovely - put them withh some willow - boring I know but I do love my flowers.

    Waving to you all...............still chuckling of the idea of various men wandering about the house cleaning away like little soldiers.

    I have to admit its got potential.................I'd be rubbish ..................I am only two foot two .................I think Mistresses are supposed to be tall!!:rotfl:

    Kitti, how did the viewing go? How is everyone else? I'm having a lazy day, feeling a bit better.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
  • Spent £15 quid in charity shop today - ergh but got some bargains, some clothes and a duvet and some xmas pressies for the box:
    My kids thing clothes stores come in black plastic bags dunno if that is good recycling or me being a bad mum?!! I only very very occasionally buy anything 'new'.
    I got a cosy fleece today (age 12) 50p and a nice sweater from warehouse.
    Haze got some new labelled fluffy rainbow psycadelic socks - very happy with her purchase (and 4 videos for 50p she is collecting disney videos at the moment)

    Looking desperately for one of those patchwork crochet blankets for darwin - no luck yet though..............

    Snowing hard here - seeds and slugs are calling - away for a slug hunt - catch as many as I can. (not for the freezer piq) I feed them to the chookies.

    Ventured to the OH today that I might like to get married in the garden - he just laughed and told me I would need a better excuse to buy more plants and wellies.

    Hes so unromantic
