    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    My work has a kitchen 60' away with infinite free tea and coffee :( it is sometimes a problem and I start the day bleary-eyed and exhausted from monster night antics, then end it with unsteady hands and a buzzing noise in my ears from over-caffeinating!

    I used to be able to destroy numbers games; usually had the answer before the clock started ticking. It's one of the ways I can really feel youth slipping away from me - I watch it now and it's like, creaking cogs starting to turn... ack!

    I used to be able to do the numbers game too - its part of my autism! :D But i'm getting slower now - thats part of old age. :rolleyes:

    I googled Bruno orgasmed carol vordaman :eek: - but didn't get what I wanted. :rotfl:

    I always buy my friends champers for birthdays etc - everyone loves it, appreciates that it is a complete extravagence and I always get a glass ;):D

    FYI - I don't like champers! :rotfl:

    And I only have one type of oil and one type of vinegar! I'm obviously not as posh as I think I am! (I think there could be a dusty bottle of white wine vinegar at the back of a cupboard!)


    Right, i'm off to finish my stripping (bathroom now!).
    MIL is borrowing my baby tomorrow for the first time - so I can do the smelly gloss painting.

    oooh i think i need some of these overall bibs you speak of, do they do up all the way down at the back or just at the top? was trying to think of something to do today with OH, ikea could be a winner. free coffee and cheap baby proofing and all that!

    They just do up at the neck...which can be a bit of a pain when they are filthy and Benjamin decides he wants to play Hidey-Boo and pulls it over his head :rolleyes: :D

    And in a parallel universe far far away:

    I am catching up with a cup of tea.

    Later I am also planning to go to Ikea to buy some muslins and long-sleeved bibs and whatever else I can fit into a Smart car that has me, Leila, a large pushchair and a car seat in it!

    I already have a family card thingie so may indulge in a free cuppa tea.

    Don't buy the baby bowl with the eyes!! Benjamin always makes a grab for it and we end up with food everywhere :rolleyes:
    (or just don't be as inattentive a mummy as me!!!)


    I also still need pram boots and one of my RL mummy friends told me about some lovely ones in Next.
