You say.. would you like to go shopping at 3am? When he says no then you say good cos I will prefer going to see this band then.. and off you o lol..

OR you go see said band, get ratted.. then go shopping... drunk shopping is fabulous fun!!

Think we have decided on a new car.. bit of a tank (read trooper carrier!!) but functional.

Slight change of plan...KH didn't turn up at school, so she's on her way back here now :mad: :mad: :mad:

I suppose he will collect her when he can be bothered....

Max hope DH is ok

Severe case of CBA here after a really useless day shopping. Dinner for kids defrosting but I can't decide what I want of what we've got.

I agree totally. She's been standing on an unlit path by the woods on the downs waiting for him since school finished, as he couldn't handle the concept of 'be at the end of x road at quarter to four'.

She's been trying to angle a way to not have to go to his at Christmas for any longer than absolutely possible all week.

Her latest comment was that a 30cm pot plant doesn't count as a Christmas tree and one slice of dry turkey doesn't count as dinner. Together with describing FW & Ms FW as 'a pair of bah humbugs', Ms FW's awful son as 'vile' and, worst of all, that she prefers to spend her time with people that smile at her instead of ignoring her while they shout at each other about Ms FW's son.


First time I've ever been described as smiley - I'm supposed to be the miserable old moo who says no and grumbles about money all the time.

Just as well I had given her Monday morning's bus fare early, wasn't it? Otherwise she would have been stranded.

pigpen

I think given the level of reliability giving her emergency bus fare was vital .. glad she can get herself home safely too.. was she standing long or did she have the good sense to get the bus soon after school ended? She does sound like a very sensible young lady indeed, I'm not sure my 11 y/o would have sense enough to get himself home without being told to, he'd probably be standing by the school gates come Monday in the same circumstance.

DW on.. but I think running it through a clean cycle may have blocked it.. again.. then I get moaned at by the repair dude for not cleaning it!

Good evening :beer: DD and I have had a successful day shopping (and she spent the afternoon in college finishing her CAD project). We had coffee and eclairs in Patisserie Valerie, which put me in mind of a certain Flyperson :kisses3:

DH has spent the day sorting out various bits on the house, and discovered that a snow slide from our roof has dislodged some guttering :eek: Luckily we have a good friend who's a roofer, so he'll be over tomorrow to sort it :T

Going to do a half-hour-bimble then settle down with a glass of red, a log fire, my knitting and my HM chilli :beer:

MrsChaos

Phew - that's another week done.
Had a fun hour with DS2 at his school's Christmas fair and read a couple of pages of fred since coming home. Possible plans for tonight:

kitchen clear-up (DH had a go at the bathroom on Thu and I can't decide on a smilie, so here goes: :j:A:eek::T)
quick run to Mr A's for beer offer and to get rid of plastic rubbish
do tea (DH won mixed grill, so that's sorted)
work work

I'm really tired now, but will see what I can get done.
Have a good weekend, everyone. x
