    please feel free to ignore but i need a mini rant before i explode, last night i spent one n half hours cleaning all the carpets downstairs and OH has just let his dad in who was wearing muddy trainers, i nearly flipped, its OH's fault he should have asked him to take his shoes off he knows his shoes are always muddy cos he goes running, but :mad: and i was just saying i wanted to go tesco (alone lol) when kids tea was ready and he's just disapeared to his dads so not gonna be able to go unless i take the kids, which just aint happening, wouldnt be good for my stress levels!!

    sorry about that :o

    On a brighter note i went to the hairdressers today and now have a fringe and silky hair :D

    Hope everyones ok?
  • Been out at a big 'networking' conference today - was majorly depressing :( The construction industry has all but dried up. I did manage to collar one of the client big-wigs for a while to 'air some views' :D


    On the way home I noticed a big sign at the side of the motorway announcing that the retail park 5 mins from where I used to work now has a Gap Outlet - new jeans and a top for me and a winter coat for Benjamin :D


    and a new suit and top for me and some new cups to replace the ones I smashed at DH's birthday party ;)


    Yay for Mistress Molly and her walking, Landen for his rolling, SM's ex-area manager for sorting out her FB faux-pas, Annabel for sitting and concentrating and someone else who I have forgotten :o


    My ASDA delivery arrived with no DSi for DSS :mad: I only ordered from ASDA because I was buying the DSi - I felt like throwing my eggs at the drivers head :mad: why do they do that? You would think that internet ordering systems would be sophisticated enough to stop selling them once they had no stock :mad:



    I did have more to say...


    EDIT - every so often I boil Benjamin's bath toys with a spot of fairy liquid...seems to keep them from going manky. I also make sure that they are as empty of water as they can be and have a few hours to dry before I put them away.

    I have been meaning to ask what other people do for ages!!

    Well done walking Molly!

    Alfie is currently stood up, leaning his chest on the sofa holding the sky remote to his mouth with both hands and laughing his head off :rotfl: No idea what's so funny!

    They don't normally but for some reason the offer was different if you bought it with your groceries to if you bought it from the Entertainment Section *shrug*

    First MSE baby to a MSE couple who got MARRIED;) (as far as I know)

    I still think DH is after my money and that's why he met me! You've got to be careful with these men off the net;):rotfl:

    EDIT: we "met" on The Arms back in 2007 and married in 2008 (xmas eve :))

    ANOTHER EDIT: Martin doesn't know about Daisy (I don't think)

    I think you should tell him :D

    PS thats very romantic :D

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Did ex's mum ring again last night Beenie?
    No! Not sure why.. But he has emailed me on facebook, he said he's not even allowed to use the toaster in case he tries anything on with it lol. Apart from that he was just saying the same old crap acting like a victim.

    Proud Mumma Moment

    Landen has now rolled himself onto his side, shock horror..... to get a better view of the tele :eek: He was obviously bored of straining his neck, he watched the pug walk around him, pulled both his legs up and over, and the rest of him followed...:T

    Clever Landen! :D I'm doing 2 Open Uni courses in IT
