    Joke about the nun and the blind man. Highlight below to reveal. Don;t reveal if you're easily shocked, or are offended by jokes about nuns :)

    A nun is in the bath, and there's a knock on the door. "Go away" shouts she "I'm completely naked".

    "It's OK, he replies, I'm the blind man".

    Nun thinks, can't be so bad - he's blind so will not see my state of undress. "OK, come in, the door's open" she calls.

    Man comes in and she carries on washing. As he leaves, he says "I've fitted the blinds, and BTW, nice ****"

    :p

    I've one FIL told me yesterday.
    A man dislocated his shoulder and had to go to hospital, when he got there they had to put his shoulder back into place.

    As the man lay in his hospital bed, whining and crying about the pain a nurse walked past, she said to him '' what the heck are you whining for, the poor woman up stairs has more to whine about she's just delieveried twins and she's not whining half as much as you''. The man looked at the nurse and replied 'well you go up there and put the twins back in again.:D

    Right cuppa and then i'll make a start.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Oh, are you not even a teeeeensy bit in love back :(
    Possibly, but I always find it a little difficult to work out in the early stages... because the attention is always flattering. I like him very much as a friend, and we have to work together. And there is quite a lot of baggage to deal with too...
    Happy birthday to both the Mummies :) Have a cake to share - can anyone tell me why there's a man in a straight jacket in this pic *shruggy man smilie* :p

    ALL chefs wear straight jackets like that... as they're all completely mad :D I have one myself somewhere :o

    Eek, Greenbee, what a lovely awkward situation you have:eek: Good luck sorting that out:p
    Thanks... need to work out how to sort it out with minimum damage. And for once I don't think I'm the one likely to get hurt :(

    Looks like we walked about 14 miles yesterday though, so some good did come of it!

    Morning went to post earlier but i was so much pain had to leave it.

    The swelling is going down whoo hooo!
    the blisters are reducing abut my is soo itchy and painful its unreal.
    Had a meeting with the ed phsy yesterday, except all the painkillers kicked in at once and i couldn't function properly.
    DS2 is not making as much progress as we want im to. He's refusing to count to ten at school or concentrate on his work. I actually pointed that at home he's fine,he can counts to 48 easily with his bricks. Reads fine, uses his flashcards etc Its mainly at school where his problems are. Yesterday they were on about sending him to an infant assessment class (IAC)which we (me and OH) don't want him to go to. We think its better for him to stay in mainstream school rather than a "special school", that's they words not ours we use the term IAC.
    So me and OH had to sit down and have a massive chat with him about his behaviour. DS2 shows signs that's he's on the autistic spectrum and being a slow developer.

    Sorry for the rant peeps :o
