:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Hilarious indeed! I didn't half laugh :osorry paddington!

I once was working on a beach (a cold,wet one!) .... there was me, my colleague and a dog walker and a dog....and a 5 mile beach. The dog legged it over to me, sniffed me, (I am not a fan of loose dogs so was not impressed) wandered off *cue sigh of relief* ...it obviously heard me sighing, turned round legged it back and c0cked its leg up against my bag and wizzed all over it :eek::eek::eek: 5 miles of desserted beach and the little git widdled all over my bag:eek::eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::D I laughed in the end !!!

Mhagster I know you aint really a saddo..haha!! Whilst the husband is away we must play right? Get some crafting done or watch some cheesy TV. If my husband was away I could kick his Xbox 360 just out of spite and then watch as much '10 years younger' as I like Totally agreeing on the group hug.. are those pants painted on??

JS Is it me you are sending to first? OoOooo Don't get using all your best stuff and fretting over me ok!! Just make what you want and I am sure you have great style. I forgot to ask, the other day you said your boyfriend wanted you to go over for a talk.. was everything ok?

Mrsgibbs1503That sounds so sweet and lovely.. what a wonderful hubby you have. Have you decided what you will do to start saving money? It must make it ten times easier to have his love and support behind you x

Bikerchick I thought about going to some craft show too. I can't get to the stitches show in London as I don't drive and it is too long a journey by train as I have to be back to look after the kids (my husband is in a wheelchair). Are you gonna go to stitches?

Rufus You're my kida girl.. pancakes all year round!! I love them so much. Lemon and sugar mmm Have you ever been to the pancake house in center parcs? I am makin you out to be some kinda of pancake addict now aren't I oops sorry!!


Goochie if you ever want to share anything then I am always here to listen x Thanks for your kind words, it means a lot. I am happy and smiling again now.. think it was one of those weekends!

Rusty My god you cracked me up when you said you was going to throw his tent in the bin!! haha!! You go woman.. different attitude and a much more positive and brilliant you today for sure. I have always followed the same threads as you and have seen your posts. I once posted to you because I was so angry when your husband said your star wars cake was embarassing and made you upset. Together... we can make each other happy and the men can be miserable on their own, right?

We are pancake people!
Birthday pancakes for breakfast.
Easter pancakes for Easter, funnily enough.
Pancake day we go for it big style, scooshy cream, mashmallows, chocolate.

Personally, I'm not that keen but kids love 'em!

since 11:42 there has been 68 posts :eek:
May have to reduce the date I put. - Or maybe I should collect all my thoughts into 1 post & not do lots of posts, ay PLM, lol.
I want pancakes now & its all your fault! cant go cook now either as I goto help some mates on the game, AH well, may have to have a midnight feast, lol.

Glad you girls are finding the recipes helpful.

Ooo, think I saw a bit of the blokes that wasnt oiled.... now wher'd I leave that baby oil......

Thanks everyone.

I found the hammer and fixed the drawer with Ikea left over nails .
Told OH about the demise of the shelves and he told me he would fix them at the weekend - sometimes moneysaving comes back and bites you on the bum

Am now sat here in my penguin PJ's and have sprayed my legs with oust as I know she doesn't like the smell - I don't like it much either but it's far better than cat pee :rotfl:.

Treating myself to some crafting tonight for putting p with 2 8/9 year olds today and someone on the cardmaking thread wanted to know how i get on with my crop a dile - so its all research really.

Knitted DD a gorgeous furry bag last night - will post a pic tomorrow if I get up early enough to catch my photobucket window .

Hmmm Mel the tent is still there .... actually its my tent but he told me to leave it out and I have been using it this afternoon and doing some listing for ebay ... I shouldn't moan as OH has sat and done all the HTML coding so all my auctions look pretty and can have millions of pictures in without the extra ones costing me a fortune ..... My little one is still running around like a lunatic and I am in a fantastic mood cause I spoke to my son on the phone tonight and he told me he loved me and missed me :o:o:j:j:j

As for men ... I think I will leave him and buy a huge mansion somewhere and give all you ladies a key to come and go as you please ... we could have one massive craft hall aswell

Mel glad you are a bit happier xxx

Hope everyone else is ok

Oh and the picture of the men ..... :whistle:
