    ooooh the wise woman called me sensible *don't tell her but it was her advice to me this time last year re-packaged r.mac style ;) *:T

    I know :kisses3: I was thinking about you at this time last year (or maybe a bit later) when I posted ;)

  • She's sent me a second chance offer and now I'm all undecided whether to get it or not...

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    the hotel in which we got married just sent me a late availability offer. They had money off this weekend as someone had cancelled and they wanted to fill the rooms.

    I wanted to send it to hubby so wrote 'pants - can't complain though as living it up abroad this weekend ;)'.

    Yes - you guessed it, i sent it to the hotel instead of hubby! oppps. never mind, they were very nice in their reply. But I feel rather stupid, but can't stop laughing. I am not often this amused at my mistakes :rotfl:

    if i didn't laugh I'd cry.:T

    and its funnier as its quite a 'stuffy' place - the people are lovely but its a very best behaviour type place ;)

    Here (about 3/4 of the way down the page) is my rant about the pumpkin outfit last halloween and all associated sensible responses...


    ...and then on the next page is the time when Benjamin was in his highchair, leaned over to me lovingly, grabbed my fringe and dinked my head off the highchair :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    He used my fringe to pull my head down to take something off my head on Sunday too!!!

    Lol r.mac!!

    We went to a bike show at the weekend. As we were walking round the stalls I saw a display of tents. I went over to have a look and was peering my nose into one of the tents when I heard a bloke say 'who are you looking for? Hello?' I turned around and it turns out it was a small 'campsite' and not a display at all! It fooled me because it was right next to the trade stands! I was so embarrassed I could've cried! They were very nice and as I was leaving they shouted that I could have a look around if I wanted to - I politely declined!

    LOL rmac.

    My brother sent me an Amazon voucher for my birthday and I sent a thank you message. Two days later Amazon wrote back to say they didn't think the message was intended for them as I'd sent it to them instead of my brother. Then had to apologise to him for not saying thanks for my present :D

    Normally what happens is that I think of the thing I want to do and imagine doing it. And that makes me smile quite a bit because it normally has very great comedy value, but then I imagine the consequences of my petty response and I remember that I'm an adult and much as I get angry with my husband I love him, we made a child together, and we need to figure out a way to raise her together even when we annoy each other. And then by that time I've calmed down enough to talk about whatever it is in a reasonable way and negotiate to a reasonable solution.

    I do that.

    Or I write out a really venty post to go on the forum, then I delete it and it makes me feel better just getting it out of my system.

    My parents didn't have Charlotte yesterday so I didn't book any calls in for work.

    My day went: got up at 7am and made the boys packed lunches and made sure they had breakfast.
    Had the grill fire/bed wetting saga that I posted about.
    Put Charlottes duvet in the washer.
    Saw boys off to school and had breakfast with Charlotte. Fed the dogs.
    Typed up two internet reports while she watched iPlayer.
    Took the dogs for a walk.
    Put duvet on line and Charlottes bed linen in washer.
    Hoovered and mopped the floors in the utility, kitchen, hall and porch.
    Had a mini disco with Charlotte.
    Put Charlottes bedding on line and put our bedding in washer.
    Tidied the kitchen.
    Tidied up all the dumped clutter in the hall, and sorted out the shoes and jackets.
    Made lunch.
    Changed Charlotte and took her to nursery.
    Put our bedding on line and put dogs beds and doormats in washer.
    Walked the dogs.
    Ironed a big pile of childrens clothes.
    Made Charlottes bed up.
    Went to fetch Charlotte.
    Put dog beds and doormats on line.
    Finished off ironing childrens clothes.
    Put Charlottes clothes away and nagged boys to do theirs.
    Washed up dishes.
    Cooked tea.
    Ironed bed linen and put it back on our bed.
    Showered Charlotte and put her to bed.
    Helped Joshua with his family history homework.
    Had a shower.
    Did about an hour of paperwork and surveys.
    Randomly surfed for an hour or so.
    Went to bed.

    Then as we were getting into bed, Craig said "did you enjoy your nice lazy day at home?" I said it was easier going to work, but he just smiled and I'm not sure if he understood that I meant it or not :o

    Been rushing around today, and even though I'm sitting having a cuppa now because I'm tired, I still feel guilty for sitting down having a rest before I have to get Charlotte :o
    Here I go again on my own....
