I'm still hyper - so have dug through the grey brain cells and give you another mum2one experience!!

back when I was 21, all those years ago, went on a daytrip to Blackpool, went with my best mate and we were nice took our mums. My mum is one of those people who will walk past a loo then 5 mins later wants to go.

So we all trundle into the loos, the next thing I heard my mates mum, saying oh that one is occupied, my daughters in there, I'm in the loo thinking, oh heck she must have a dodgy lock. No.........

Her mum had got her foot under the door so my friend didnt need to lock the door, course you can imagine everyones face, there all waiting for a child to come out, then out my friend strolls, everyone was just gobsmaked! I missed this all as id got stuck with a dodgy lock!! but mum had great pleasure in telling me the whole story when we got home!

Did you see on the news where someone stupid has come up with the idea of taxing chocolate - I would be bankrupt in a month Anyway isn't it taxed already as you pay VAT, stupid chocolate hating politicians being greedy for more money I think...

ps: much rather have chocolate than money any day x

oh no!!! :eek::eek: that is awful

They drive me mad ... OH saw on the news somewhere that they are having a big meeting in the smoke (london) think it is GE summit or something similar ... anyway a massive percentage are smokers and they have asked to have somewhere inside the building where they can go and have a quick smoke rather than having to go outside ... this drives me mad as it was them who made up the no smoking in public places rule then expect it to be changed to accomodate them :mad: :mad: :mad: How very dare they! (ps I don't mind going outside to have a tab as I do it at home, however I know a lot of people do mind )

Morning all ... just a quicky as we are heading out the door to go money neutral bowling. A pressie for my son for doing 4 weeks at top spelling he has worked hard bless him ... have spent 4 weeks saving up the £2.50 to take him bowling

Have a nice day all xx

SugarSpun

Big hugs to everyone, and have a lovely day.

Ours started reasonably well with the glorious McDonalds Free Breakfast promotion. Except that there were loads of people in there, and instead of having all the items ready to go they were making everything to order. So my beloved's McFresh Chicken Fruhstuck was cold by the time my Sausage and Egg McMuffin arrived.

Still, I'm delighted that they're doing breakfast now.

I was supposed to go to my dads party yesterday but I was so stiff from the NEC that I thought screw it and went to Hobbycraft instead. I really don't like parties and the kids have to be in bed for 6 or they get grumpy the next day. SOOOOooOOooO I have got to travel to Telford today to go see him so that he doesnt think I don't love him!

I am going to craft tonight with my new stash so watch this space LOL I was supposed to craft last night but pfft
