    OMG just reading a news article about a woman who took out her vibrator on a local train and started using it :eek: Even in liberal Germany the other passengers complained.

    Glad your house didn't burn down Mel and :rotfl: at a little bit ruined.

    Glad the interview is over with now SM, just relax and try not to think about it too much, I will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you.


    Our Dinner was Beef Goulash, that had been cooking in the slow cooker all day. Anyway, I was having a look at it to see if it needed thickening at all before dishing it up and it was really watery...I did think i had added a bit much in the morning, so I added some cornflour but didn't want to put too much in because I am doing SW and it is syns for cornflour) But it didn't really thicken it much. I then had a brainwave...instead of cooking rice seperately I wil shove it in and make it into a one-pot thing, as it will absorb the liquid and fix the problem, so I shoved some rice in...all well and good up to this point. After adding the rice I considered that it might tak e a looong time to cok in the slow cooker so I took the WHOLE crock pot thing out and put it on the hob, i thought that I could boil it for a bit to get the rice cooking!!!! Hmmmmm, wasn't the brightest idea I've ever had, the whole bottom of the pot melted, the dinner poured out all over the cooker and there was thick black smoke everywhere....most likely the coating from the pot...and where was I? Well I had run upstairs with some piles of washing and then nipped the loo!!!!!!!! I am mortified and extremely angry with myself, especially as this is only a couple of days after nearly killing me and dh by (nearly) blowing up his new motorbike battery, while it was on the bike...right next to the petrol tank!!

    I am such an idiot, although I am blaming tiredness (partly)

    Well - The girls have a party tomorrow with their club. because the slip was in the wrong page of my diary I forgot to hand it in until today. Now they have only one minibus and not enough room. So I ring my nan and ask if she can take us, as she usually as them on a Saturday. She accuses me of only thinking about the baby and having my priorities all wrong :eek: but then agrees to help.

    My mum then rings to ask if I've spoken to my nan, using that stupid whiny voice she uses when she's annoyed. So I ask her what the matter is, and she starts on about when the others were little and (abusive) ex wouldn't let her see them. So I say to her 'That wasn't my fault, why are you blaming me for it' and she starts on about when i was younger and I never appreciated what she did for me :eek: yeah OK she had a job but I'd rather have had a mum on benefits than a mum who got drunk all the time, made a show of herself and shagged half the men in our street and when I pointed this out (after she insinuated I made all the trouble - and when I lived at home I was the ultimate trouble free teen) she shouted at me and hung up.

    So now ex's mum is annoyed because I've stopped sending the older children and keeps ringing to hassle me about it, my own family are accusing me of not thinking of the older kids when we've been taking them out every weekend!!

    Oooh I am so angry. All this after they've all been told I'm supposed not to get stressed because it can make my problems worse. Not that they're bothered about that until they stress me so much I can't walk again and then it'll all be my fault for having Squeak, not that that did anything to cause my problems, they're sodding neurological! Gah.

    The cross country move OH wants looks more appealing by the day :(

    Oh and I have toothache. One very unhappy bunny :(

    Sorry for bringing the thread down!
