My OH has too, at our last house he was getting scratched at different times and in different places, one night we were stood in the kitchen and he had his shirt off and 3 long scratch marks appeard on the back of his shoulder, we contacted our local group and they came out, one of the guys wouldn't come in the house he said he didn't like the feel of it, they were going to come and investigate but we moved out before they could come:( but OH and DS1 are always watching Ghost hunters, the american one with the plumbers Have you seen it? DS1 wants to do all the camera stuff, he set his camcorder up the other week in his bedroom over night hoping to catch something, bless but all he got was him and his brother snoring LOL...:rotfl: I did tell him he would have to go somewhere with ghost activity to catch something on film.

lol at your boys videoing themselves snoring - love it! Yes OH watches that Ghost Hunters and various others, but they're the only ones that don't drive me mad! Scary scratches for your OH - creepy:eek:

Sock bunny really easy to do! Took me an hour but had to answer door to parcel delivery man, run in and out to DD2 who was ill, open the back door a billion times to let the dog out, and try and figure out the instructions as I went along.

The instructions are here on someones blog if anyone wants them. DD1 didn't want one as she said it was 'freaky'. LOL. Showed her the sock monkeys and she LOVED those. I've been out and bought her a fluffy pair of socks to make her one of those instead.

Sorry, I'm really sad, and have been googling all the different ones. Susan 42 did a fantastic zebra (on her blog) and there's dogs and elephants and allsorts. Sarah - I haven't seen a monster though, could you post a pic please?

Heres me rambling now! Sorry I've bored you all. :rotfl:

Hello all :j
All behind myself today..........did some 'tidying up' this morning then manager just one page of scrapbook...........then postman came with load of scrapbook I'd ordered on special offer so I spent ages drooling over that..........neighbours daughter came to clean today instead of Friday as she's going out then chap came to give quote on downstairs loo..............made it all sound so complicated I began to wish I'd not bothered.
So, thats my day................not as much done as I'd have hoped.............still, maybe tomorrow ? (I keep on saying that)

rufus - love the idea of a story book........:T

Anglea

Hi all

hlcarroll - you talking about that holiday you had with OH and found it hard to pay for - you're only young - I think a lot of people would have a problem at 19 with spare funds.

Mary - instead of using the slim fast tins for a hamper, I've put them to temporary use today as a biscuit tin -I'm hiding biscuits in them so my DS2 who just arrived doesn't realise and using a small biscuit barrel for normal use - otherwise the whole lot would disappear overnight!

You lucky thing with extra scrapbook stash. In fact it's great receiving anything crafty in the post.

Rufus - that's a good idea for a present for your GDH

mary-op

angela - felt really bad ordering stuff when times are hard moneywise but I did need more stuff for the scrapbooks I'm doing for christmas and at the local craft shop it would have cost a lot lot more............just wish I could shut my drawer now............lol:rotfl:

Anglea

Mary you are making me jealous - can't shut the drawer, that means lots of goodies.

I will try and get one on tomorrow sometime, the 2 I've made are a bit battered now as the boys have had them a while, but the gist of them are like the monkies and bunnys just made with odd size legs and extra googly eyes and one has fangs lol....:rotfl:

I have been so not MSE today, have bought a new table and chairs and had a chinese for tea..... ooops I feel guilty now, have done nothing money making or saving so far this week but have done and delivered all easter eggs, cards and gifts so when the kids finish tomorrow can do nice things, will worry about stuff after easter now...

Dont we have a bit of a breather till the next occassion (apart from birthdays) Fathers day??? or is there something else inbetween??

mary-op

sarah - don't think there's anything else till fathers day - My dad and FIL are no longer with us so I don't have to panic about that day.
Just the birthdays........I'm sorted for April, just have to check who crops up in May...........;)

:rotfl:As I hit another year older, as dd reminded me I have 12months to I'm 40...... (thanks!!)

Knock on the door, postman holidays a medium size brown box, addressed to me, thought its a surprise prezzie, got nothing on order from anyone. Really exicted.:p

Opened it carefully, :cool:..... it was 2 packets of Red Sky Crisps, I did a survey last week, and it said you might be one of the people we choose to send to.......:rotfl:

Quality tested 1st pack, Anglesey sea salt, nice, but no difference to kettle chips, the other flavour, sea salt and cider vinegar, Miss Hoodie got exicted at the word cider!!

Been spolit rotten, mum and dad got me new camera, (mines broke) and new chain (darling Bailey broke the other), dd got me new pjs, which she thinks are fab,
1pr, bottoms have animal prints, black colour with blue and white prints, top has comment about a cat, the other pair, very funky, moo cow design, the bottoms are massive pink splodges over them.
Bailey - brought me a toilettry set from Body Shop.

My best mate, got me bottle wine, box of chocs, and £30 of theatre vouchers, can't wait for out theatre to bring new programme out.

DD had fish and chips from the chippie, dad took me to the pub, had voucher for free bottle wine, as he was driving, I though have a glass and bring the rest home....... whoops drank the lot.......

Had a very sarky text from our friends, (when I booked she said great me and hubby come the same time.) I'll just have to have the champagne and chocolates I'd arranged for your birthday and by the way I'll have to eat daughters easter egg, I'm going to have fun even if your not x
Its not as though I asked dd to get chicken pox, and the doc won't let us fly, shes plastered in them, think were upto 100 spots, some scabbing which is good, instead of coming out in one go, they've been coming out in batches.

I had a lovely day with my family, thats all that matters.
