    Does anyone with older kids (like 3 +) - make up weird random storys? Like Keira will sit on the toilet and tell me she has to have a giant poop to feed the monster who lives in there, cause if he doesn't get fed he comes out and eats your eyeballs - Right okay.

    Then today, I told her to take off her piashy pullup (grrr she still isn't dry) and to put it in the bin and she told me that, the nappy was upset in the bin because the cat food packet and the bread bag were being mean to it and it wasn't it's friend anymore.

    She's crackers :rotfl:

    My old dishwasher fell off the back of a truck :o

    It broke just before Christmas and t christmas dinner my nan asked if it was working and did I have another one.

    me: 'No, can't afford another one like that, they cost £1.500'

    nan(shocked): 'You didn't pay that much for it did you?!'

    me: 'No it fell off the back of a lorry.'

    Cue stony silence around the table from morally upstanding side of family, until my nan asks if I'll 'get in trouble' for having it :rotfl:

    Yeah cos the police come to my house all the time! (they don't!)

    Plus it was in use for 5 years with OH before it came to me and I killed it :rotfl:
    Mum of several with a twisted sense of humour and a laundry obsession :o:o

    My apple mac fell of the back of a truck :whistle: I told Idris' parents that I won it in a comp though :rotfl: It was brand new, I still paid £500 for it......but I wasn't paying £1900!!

    I wish I could have a dishwasher, but nowhere to plumb it in and that's what confuses me, how the hell does the woman upstairs manage to plumb in TWO washing machines? She isn't very eco.

    And also ARGH, my tv is bust, takes forever for the red standby light to come on and the electric ran out this morning so it cut off, and :( cause I can't get the red light back on. Stupid LG and stupid digital direct.....it's only 2 and a smidge years old.

    Did it fall of the back of a truck :p

    It is a minefield, I picked my netbook based purely on the fact it's pink :o nothing can compare with my sexy apple macbook pro, even though the screen is forked and I can't close the lid (thanks Keira)

    Haha not quite:D it was out of a catalogue but Niddy kindly sorted that one out ;);)

    Ooh i'd like a macbook :p I am trying to get my head round all the new processors i5 and suchlike. Mostly out of my price range though :(

    TRhat reminds me, i had some dodgy smackhead at the door the other day saying "i'm off the morrisons do you want owt?" I was like errm,.... eh?? Wut, like milk?? He was like nahhh make up n that. I said oh yeah get me some maybelline stuff... He never came back, take it he got caught. lmaooo

    WM aren't you meant to be in bed :naughty:

    :eek: Apart from browning meat and onions at the start of a dish and sauteed veg (which in theory I could do on a fire in the garden) I think I could do almost everything I use the cooker for using other gadgets I have (you can even do bread in a slow cooker) but it would be a bit faffy having to do everything that way. I think you'd have to be pretty determined to eat healthily without a cooker.

    And imagine the washing up! :eek:

    DH's comment on my Facebook has me really craving brownies. Darn him!

    Yes all the time, she told me on Saturday that it was only Friday on her home planet and she had rung in sick to school, I said 'oh whats wrong with you?' she starts screaming and running around shaking her hands 'Arrrgggh Warts'

    Hope you are not too depressed that Keira might still be doing it when she's 7!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    No not at all. But maybe she could learn appropriate timings, as I don't think bawling out on the bus that "Hey mum, member that time you kicked that baby" "Errr what?" "Yeah and then it cried and I had to put it in it's pram and you went jail" "Omg Keira that NEVER happened" "Yes it did, and member I took you a blackamole sandwich"

    I think she was referring to perhaps one time I kicked her doll that crys because she had left it on the floor, and then added in that one time she made me a pretend sandwich, and then also the times we had played cops.....

    People must think I'm a right abuser?

    Anyways she can hardly talk, check the shape of her doll -

    That's doll abuse right there!!
