ajmoney.. have you tried the 'You are so full of $h!t. Why don't you just shut the flook up and not speak unless you have something nice or something important to say?'.. and if he can't do that sling him out! He'll definitely think twice before coming back lol. KH's Bil is very similar.. thinks he is highly intelligent, spouts an absolute pile of swill and the only person ever to tell him is... me..
I got my christmas tree half stripped yesterday.. I can't find the boxes for the ornaments.. and I need OH to tape the tree box back together after the kittens ate it. I'm getting food before doing anything else, and a cuppa.. then I'll think about sorting some mess before I need a nap.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
Piggers - can we have reminders to do tax returns in the next week please? Several of us have still to do them and its a good reminder for anyone else whose conveniently forgotten!
Rosepink - you have mail!
Well its beginning to thaw here now, about time, so it'll be more icy than usual tonight & early tomorrow. Not sure if schools will be back tomorrow yet, personally I think it'll be Tuesday or Wed, maybe a phased return would help with our particular location problems - we'll see. Not venturing far today - have a big list of things to do inside first..
Speaking of which I'd best throw in the dinner or Sunday lunch will turn into Sunday tea! Laters,
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
