    it is a tad concerning when a strange guy quietly knocks on the door, looks surprised when you open it, says 'oh I have the wrong house, I was looking for my friends house - he has a red car too - I'm not a burglar - honest':eek:

    I did almost say 'but are you my chocolate button weirdo? ' :rotfl:
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    if he was a burglar - he was very well dressed! Nice casual suit - poppy in his lapel..........he was pretty good looking to be honest.

    Oy - Mr Burglar - waiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! <slams door and runs off after him>

    Car battery dead this morning, DH charged it, car working fine.

    Drive to McDonalds to take kids for tea (special treat with DD best friend who has moved schools)-go back to car-wont start. Call DH who gives me the number for AA to call...sit and try to get car to start a few more times, stress a bit, call DH a few names (as you do, it's a mans fault the car doesnt work isnt it? Even if he is at work?) then remember something-car was raaaaaather low on petrol........

    Awww bless:rotfl:

    At least you didnt call a locksmith out to break into your house cause you were using the wrong key to get in:o

    To me this http://www.safield.co.uk/snuggie-blanket-p-1043.html?gclid=CKT_ucix250CFVBd4wodpGwtrA looks just the same as a slanket but for half the price and without a huge label on the sleeve saying "Slanket":confused:
