I read on my Facebuck page (no corporation tax in 2012-13) that I am to join a campaign about a red top newspaper. My fiends, I have not bought that said newspaper ever, nor have I been interested in it, or other media outlets coverage since 21:33Z 1982-05-003. Long time before those not so nice … boycotted the same. I doubt the 4 teenagers stabbed on 5th January 1980 feel pity either. Nor, for the stupid driver this morning on the A4136 this morning. Yes, the wild boars had been hit, probably by a lorry, and the driver probably did not know How could he, or even, how could he had stopped!. It happens. Why you parked so and then tried to … Sorry, but they are wild animals. These things happen. Shame that I was in the queue 5 minutes, I rang the police and advised them to attend with the vet. Then moved on. Shame that you were there earlier, yet had not done so!
The question is, what could I have done about these events.
Alas to say in May 2013, I paid as much in tax as I took home in my first year apprenticeship.
Gosh some days I do have a rant a day today. In other news that slipped through, while in some circles we are …
3 Had another blank count back with Ms Whack at scrabble last night. Why she keeps hold of them I do not know. But, came in handy at the wire. I know, some will say that winning on a count back does not count. Well, as I mentioned earlier, the rules are under the board in BoP house. If you need to check, you exit the game. Simple. Also, her voyeur spelt as foyer was well and truly oooofed off the treble! Bottles of wobbleade all round
5 nite I has to clear the yard for winter. Tie down the loose bits and put away the chair. May look at the local DIY place for new ones. They come cherpy cherpy cheap cheap this time of year
1 When a butterfly flaps its wings in the jungle, does a hurricane happen in Florida?
4 Had my five a day yesterday, but apparently it is all kybewash. All a load of bull excreta dreamt up by a coffee drinker in the southern US of A. Coffee is not bad for you. And the ultimate, they have a cure for wobbleade overdose and that morning feeling. You just drink lemonade! Can not imagine BoP drinking lemonade on an evening. Just cocoa and Horlicks. Unsweetened and down in one.
2 Just doing a doc at work that some nice geezer has kindly colour coded. It looks like the Spanish flag. Arrrgh I wills singe their king’s beard and send it back to him. Oh well they are not green, so I has rejected it and told them which planet they should consider living on. Well, in that tone, but not quite the same words, but at least the longer we swing this one out, the nearer to the empty pension bucket day it is!
So there we are. Bits of shock and horse today. But what about the butterfly? Did it really create such a storm. We may never now, but perhaps we should be guarded in seeing or hearing.

OS Pleasures
Seeing white dot of Adult tooth emerge from pink gum on youngest. (Baby tooth flapping but he won't let anyone tug it for him.)
Parked right beside a traffic cone & managed to squeeze in without any incriminating evidence.
Planning a Morrisons run for the sweetie tins. (Family grouse about the lack of reciprocity but I reckon £7 is cheap to reassure m'mother we're all friends.)
Looking at partly lit buildings beginning to "wake up" as I go into work - lights going on remind me of Christmas tree & railway set lights...
Husband discharged by hospital pod! 4 months of healing now under local supervision.
VJsmum - I tried! I just managed a pink & giggly grin. Which got a charmed display of English teeth back - but oh gosh I'm pink three blocks later.
Hugs to all those that need them!0 -

1. Today I love my job. Site visit was very errrr...interesting and the company need to do quite a bit of work . Some policies (mandatory stuff) way out of date. One was soooo old I said "I was young and pretty when this was printed !".Luckily the manager/owner said "so was I". I am looking forward to working with them
2.Hens climbed on my lap as soon as I sat on the picnic bench outside .Greedy birds, so predictable
3.Weather lovely
4.Made a mushroom and creamy madeira sauce to go with some tagliatelle . Nice.
5. Main boss selected me to do some project work . I know naff all about the subject matter ( I don't want to either) and it would pull me away from my main job and leave my colleague to cover the whole of the county as another is leaving in 2 weeks.Main boss once reminded of this changed their mind.:THence I had a good day !

1. Had lovely dreams, can't remember them, but woke up feeling happy
2. Met up with chums in the library and got lots of work done
3. Brilliant English lecture by my favourite chap, the vicar who gives the CS Lewis talks. It was all about grammar and punctuation etc etc, right up my alley. Friend I was sitting next to was concentrating so hard as she's a maths girlie, whereas words are music to my ears.
4. DD came home with a lovely school photo formShe looks so grown up!!
5. Had a scrumptious chocolate cookie at lunchtime, courtesy of a chum who bought some, YS naturellement, in M&$ - real choc not cooking choc! What a sweetie
6. Decided that I was fed up of looking like an old English sheepdog, so wandered into a posh hairdressers and had a brilliant cut. I made the most of the freebies on offer - neck and shoulder massage, shiatsu bed-type chair whilst having my hair washed, hand massage
7. Scrumptious dinner, and hoorah, I'll have leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Slummed it with a cheese sarnie today.....
8. Off out to the pub tonight to make new chums, I hope, at PTA meeting!
9. Feeling loved and cherished - my mum has bought me more cough mixture and my dad has forwarded me a link to an article extolling the virtues of having an early night.....I know I'm not 100% and have fallen back into working late, getting up early and forgetting to take my medicine! I don't want to spend this weekend in bed, note to self: take notice!!
10. Had a little cuddle with the hairdresser's dog; another reason to frequent the place! What a little cutie...0 -
Chicken - thankyou...it took me 5 days to write about dad..big ole hole he left!
DVF - ugh..I used to hate it when kids had wobbly teeth, they'd wriggle it at me..eugh!!
Kitty - artichokes make me windy!! And I think they taste like smoky fishbut they sell well!! (thinks*maybe its how i cooked them*)
1. DS came back from work and informed me the cleaner had ....mangina. He overheard the ladies talking!! I nearly wet myself laughing!! (ok so angina isn't funny but mangina??) Since then I keep asking DS how his mangina is and he....
2. picked up my canning tongs..held them at his crotch, made them into chompy jars by opening and closing them and made a loud dinosaur roar!! It would seem his mangina is either (a) hungry or (b) angry!!!!
3. Mommy called and told me about aunty val and the sample! In canada before a camera a la derriere you have to do the sample on stick for 3 days before they do it. Aunty val pooped in a carrier bag but as she was prodding with her stick it slipped and went...mothers word...kersplat. My mommy was laughing so hard when she told me that she started coughing! Oh dear. She makes me smile!!
4. Gleaning again!! This time we got 15..yes 15!! 25kg bags of potatoes for use as seed next year!! If we had to buy them it would have been over £200 worth:eek: And they gropw better than the posh scotch seed:D
5. I found the food flask that I used to take to school when I was in my teens (so thats over 30 years ago!!) in my dads kitchen cupboard! AND its still intact and it still keeps things hot!! So its having a wash for DS to take my HM soup to school:D It is..yellow and brown:o a tadge 70's? Retro!!

Still feeling very poorly and it’s spread to Mr PK, but went to work and was suprised that work itself wasn’t too bad
1. Rather than shopping I home cooked treats,, I made toblerone cookies, ok I followed a bbc recipe and I err ended up with one massive cookie which I turned into cookie squares, I then re read the recipe to find I miss read the flour part and put 100g short, ops ahem never was great in the kitchen.
2. Tidied up the kindle unloaded some books, loaded up a few free ones.
3. RTC raspberries with “light” ice cream
4. Clean bedding / and a lovely hot bath soak blissful.
5. Animals overly pleased to see me.
6. A nice catch up with MIL.
7. Boxed up some summer clothes for next summer, need the space.
8. 2 more bags de-junked of clothes as well to the charity drop off.
9. Making sandwiches and remembering to take anything with me to work rather than buying it.:o
10. I received a freebie today one of the mccain oven chips Mexican bowls I am impressed it’s great colorful and a good size, I am assuming there will be another one following at some point as I claimed 2….
11. Ended up popping out Picked up lots of fruit and veg very rtc and a bacon joint is cooking away.
12. DH phoned the FOS about our insurers and we are now going down that process having talked it through with the FoS they were disgusted at the insurers so I am sort of looking forward to this. :eek:0 -
DVF - bigger son only has one baby tooth left and that is wobbly! It looks like a pre-molar. Both mine were late to get teeth - well past their first birthdays.
Here are my pleasures for today:
1) Sons had good days at school.
2) Had a cup of tea with my friend in Cafe Neros.
3) Had my eyebrows threaded so can now see where I am going.
4) Quick look round the charity shops netted me a long M and S angora jumper.
5) Tea was roast chicken, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, courgettes, bread sauce, stuffing and HM crab apple jelly.
6) Enjoyed watching DIY SOS.
7) Just been playing the piano a bit.
8) Measured bigger son tonight and he is finally bigger than smaller son! (Who is almost 3 years younger). 5 foot 2 now.0 -
