  • Def not you. :D
    'Boss' has just rang to say she and hubby are going away for half term. They are stressed and need a break. (Spent Oct half term in Florida). Leaves me in charge.
    Def candiate for the poker. :mad:
    But maybe I'm just unreasonable and jealous.:o


    the same boss who is incapable of making a decision? you've every right to be pee'd off! she sounds like a liability...! maybe you'd fancy a break, even if a holiday isn't possible....

    Spud - not sure what he needs but I have sleeping bags and all sort of outdoory/camping stuff.

    Aww bless you Bookie. He's got sleeping bag etc, and they sleep in cabins. I'm going to get hin a cheap case. The one we have (we dont do holidays) is too small.

    Apart from that, I'm just going to get him cheap tracky bottoms, and tops. They'll all come home possibly ruined and definitely wet/smelly, so the cheaper the better really :rolleyes:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    She's a lovely person really.
    It's me that's horrible slagging her off.
    Just that her brain doesn't connect to her mouth very often
    People with money don't understand people without!

    He's 11 Beanie, but a very tall 11. He goes the Monday after Manchester.

    He's a lucky lad, and contrary to what kids would have you believe (i.e. "eeeeveryone is going!).. there will be kids who aren't getting. so you've done well by him. He's a great looking strapping lad, so he'll have a ball!

    Just let me know if anything is needed.
    The cheaper the better for clothes. When we take the Brownies away it is so much better if they have stuff that they or their Leaders aren't afraid of ruining!
