    Oh Chicky - I have images in my head that I don't want

    I can just see you doing all that childbirth stuff, puffing and panting and whatnot and the midwife shouting "PUSH" at you...

    And you saying... in a minute, I've nearly finished a section... :D


    I can't get this image out of my head now :rotfl:


    (sometimes i could *insert expletive here* my son.... my lovelyyyy new verigated threads arrived.... so he helpfully sat at the tabke and took ALL the paper bits with the numbers on off all of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! )

    OOOhhh nooo my grandaughter did that to me with 50 of them bless her she's three and thought she was helping cos i let her take them off when i'm winding them onto bobbins. Took me hours checking on the web to match threads to numbers.

    must be their age CG!! that must have been even worse tho... thankfully i use verigated ones very very rarly (never so far) so i'm not tooo bothered about writing the numbers on them.

    i'm now debating taking a birth sampler with me and winding the midwives up deliberatly... "so thats 6 (am). .... noo he can't come yet I can't sitch 3's!!"

    Wouldn't they prefer you to be stitching rather than whinging (while you wait) and screaming (while you get the pest out)

    Have had a lovely day today but a costly one too :( Went to Knowsley Safari Park (5 mins from our house) and my muppet of a husband decided against my very strongly worded advice that it would be perfectly safe to go through the baboon enclosure - despite the safe route available and the many signs saying these animals WILL damage your car :eek: So now I have poop on my bonnet and roof and I am minus a wing mirror:eek::eek::eek:

    DH will pay - in oh so many ways for oh so many months :p Dd and I reckon we can get at least 3 months of whining out of it - and more importantly a fair few stitchy pressies and free evenings/days to stitch in:T:rotfl:

    Naturally - he has already been to local garage to confess his sins and is off to scrap dealers tomorrow to pick up a 'new-to-us' one and then garage will fit it for a small fee - wanted to make him pay the ford garage fees cos they would have been sky high;)
