    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Morning all... disappeared last night in a huff, storming off to find the nearest party I could find! It would have been more fun and cosy to curl up on the couch and stick around here though. And I missed WOW too. You can practise your plastering on my kitchen walls if you like. It's a wee kitchen so you should be ok :).

    I think I heard some-one mention something about a purple wheelbarrow... maybe I was imagining it? If I had a purple wheelbarrow I'd have purple and cerise tulips growing out of it :D. *Looks into the distance and reams of all things pink and purple*

    Mike, wandering around the beach at 5.30am... so unlike you! Doesn't your bodyclock work a bit like mine, jumps forwards and backwards with little rhyme or reason and certainly no warning!! :D

    Poo! I'd be in a mad panic too if I had that much spare cash! I'd be triple checking internet banking to make sure the mortgage and everything elsehad come off!! ANd I go with Red Lady, 50/50 is good. And instead of cancelling the o/d and shocking the system, ask them to reduce it just a wee bit. Best of both worlds - you feel clever and safe at the same time :D

    I'm off to visit my friend with the the kiddies with special needs for a few days. Tramplonig here I come! But I am a bit concerned on missing out on all the fun while I'm gone. Think of me, will you? Please! My friend has her fingerprint as her laptop password - not much chance of sneaking on without her noticing (though plying her with wine might help...). Seriously, her finger print! Have you ever heard the like!

    Happy Sunday every-one and merry Mother's day for those of you that applies too! I'm off to pout Mr Muscle down that goddamn drain before I go.

    See you all soon xx

    (Mike... still to email! But you know my favourite hobby - nay, skill - is procrastination ;) Tuesday... )

    Stay around and be one of my MSE friends

    Don't scare him off Mike - he can change lightbulbs!!!!!

    what you got planned for today then the sun is shining here so after i've eaten my mothers day chocolates (could take a while having 5 kids) :rotfl:i'm thinking I might go and wheel my nice PURPLE WHEELBARROW about ;-)
    and for the ladies who were interested yesterday i had it from a farm supplies shop (and at a trade price thanks to the Ex ;-))

    You have a wheelbarrow? That's good. Obvious question first - what colour is it?

    And you get discount at a farm shop thanks to your ex? Isn't that marvellous? Most of us don't get anything useful from our exes... :rotfl:

    Saxy, did you say you had a purple wheelbarrow??! :D

    With 5 kids they will get you back at Easter though.

    Ah lightbulbs, now when I was married there was a standing joke at work (and yes, I really never had changed one until single)

    How many Reds does it take to change a light bulb.

    None, just one to call for a man to do it! :D


    I understand it takes three psychologists to, but the lightbulb has to want to change...

    Get a wine glass she's held and some Sellotape. Copy the fingerprint to the sticky tape. Wrap the oily printed bit round your own finger, then slide it over the sensor.

    Alternatively, get some friends who aren't so mean.

    what you got planned for today then

    The dogs' mother is coming to collect them at noon.

    The smaller of the two's acting a bit strange... sort of listless and staring at the floor and looking miserable. His early morning dump went all wrong too.

    I suppose she could keep him for parts to keep the other one on the road...?

    Quite a few.Tread warily, young Steve...

    Quite a few of the blokes are women, too. No names. Subscribers to this thread commonly understand and accept the inherent limitations of a binary gender system. The social construction of gender in most societies in the world is where gender is a dichotomy between male and female. Male and female gender expectations, roles, and functions (such as changing failed lighting units, clearing Scottish bath drainplugs, fixing back doors etc.) are generally very rigid and the presence of alternate gender constructions are usually denigrated, ignored, or made oblivious except where they're a bit fit and called jonnie3000. A person who might enjoy, say, eating roast chicken in rural Swindon prior to being presented with a list of tasks to be completed around the place if he wants crumble and custard for pud, (or to not see his testes used as earrings) or walking 16 miles in the rain in high heels and a short skirt might not also find the ideation of a wheeled device for transporting gardening materials to their liking, were it constructed of a pigment comprised of any non-spectral color between violet and red (excluding violet and red themselves).
