    Soappie, the bloke on the left looks like Louis Theroux! Is that any help? And the navigator was David Tennant…

    isn't it obvious? the one on the left is Bob, the one on the right is John and the navigator is mr. smith :D

    Love it ladies! :rotfl:

    Though Rose, it would have to be Louis Theroux's Dad. The picture must have been taken in the late '60s, or '70s. and the navigator could be Dr Who but not David Tennant - he was only born in 1971.

    And Mozzy - the one on the left looks more like a Jim to me..... why are you fuming?

    For some reason, while I was sleeping this afternoon, DH decided to turn the heating on, even tho the oven was on for the roast. It is absolutely boiling in here. I think I may kill him.

    Hi all

    Posting from my phone because the ****ing electric has gone off. Hanging on a bit to see if it comes back on before I do tea as i'd rather use their electric i've paid to use than my gas.

    Weather hasn't improved all day, so just did Water and loo etc anyway, someone remind me to buy more cropped trousers before I go away again as sick of soggy ankles.
    Right best phone maintainence team again see if I need to hook the gas up as it's getting cold now and brats need feeding
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Hugs Lil_me, hope the electric comes back soon

    I'm going to get a cold drink before I catch on fire. I suppose having the laptop on my lap isn't helping me to cool down either!

    ..... why are you fuming?


    well, as i said i took the kids (3.5 and 4yrs) to mil's house and there were also sil+nephew and other sil+dh - we arrived there around 10.40 - the kids played up a bit and so we decided to take them to the local park shortly by which time it was 12.40 and i kind of asked about lunch; bear in mind we had had our breakfast at 7am - so mil suggested to go to a nearby pub which would have been nice but the kids were hyper already and to ask them to sit in a pub yet again and wait for food and eat it and still behave - i just didn't see it. so instead we each got a sandwich!! that was all we got ALL DAY?!?!?!? :eek:
    and i thought we were meeting up for 'easter' and do something for the kids - well, nobody thought of that, so i took some eggs to the park and hid them and the kids were superhappy!! - and before that to keep my kids busy i took them around the house and hid some things for the other grown ups - my ds had great fun directing them around - but guess who didn't get anything :confused:

    then dh called and kind of hinted that i don't need to cook anything tonight and i had a god at him if he really expected me to come home at 7pm and cook?!?!
    so he said he'll get something on the way home and i asked him to get something for me too please ... apparently he's got a surprise for me now :rolleyes: - i do hope it's not just a blooming egg because i am starving :rolleyes:

    oops sorry :o - i told you i was fuming :D

    Hugs Mozzy what a horrible and hungry day. I always get very grumpy when I'm hungry.
    If DD has it it's quite likely DS will go down with it

    MOZzy - when i got chickenpox I was really ill for 3 weeks with loads of spots. My brother (3 years younger) got about 3 spots and felt fine. Mum wouldn't have known he had it if she hadn't been looking out for it because I had it. Not sure what the incubation period is either... Lots of hugs though xxx
