Furture plans.... hmmm... I briefly considered a trip to the west end to see Wicked but the weekends OH has off are already jam packed with other stuff until almost Christmas....

Well, it would make a rather wonderful pre-Christmas trip wouldn't it? You could also see the Christmas lights in Oxford street (if you are brave enough, my God it gets so packed!) or detour to Harrods and visit the Christmas section.

My DD went to Wicked on a school trip and she absolutely LOVED it.

Took the hairball for her annual prod and pole at the vets. She behaved like an entrant atCrufts. SHe sat in the car waiting for the boot to open instead of impersonating an envelope and attempting to slither out the instant there was a tiny gap. Then she sat at each and every pavement edge without being told. After that she sat att he door whilst I opened and closed it. Sat in the waiting room ignored all the other dogs and didn't bark once. Went into the surgery when called at heel with a slack lead. Sat whilst she was prodded. Lifted her paws when asked. Ignored the fingers poking round her teeth. Stood still on the scales on her first attempt, all 60kg of her, and didn't flinch when she was skewered in the back of the neck. I was suitably impressed.

Was sat here smiling at such a well behaved pooch

We then turned to leave the room at which point she sat at heel waiting for the door to be opened. The vet told her she was a good girl to which she responded with a woof and followed through with a swift swipe of the nose to his nuts which left him bent double and in the perfect position for a face full of slobber.

Exitied rather rapidly to the waiting room where she proceeded to rearrange the funiture in hot pursuit of a loose chihuahua. Its surprising just how fast a dog that size can go in a 12' square room with half a dozen chairs, a desk and a set of display shelves in the way whist tethered to a lead.

Made it to the car before the giggles too over and spent a further five minutes sitting in the boot wiaitng for her to give up and get in. She was most adament we were going for a walk and I was most determined not to. Wish I'd had a book with me because theres no negotiating with 10 stone of petulant pooch. If it doesn't want to get in the boot then theres not a lot else to do but wait.

Now crying with laughter :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: You really do have such a brilliant way with words, so descriptive :T:j:j:T

Had a really shittty day yesterday. Walked into work to find one of the litle darlings had used a sponge seat as a toilet, another had created a 3D masterpiece on the bog wall in poo and a third deposited a turd on the floor just in front of the loo. Five minutes later whilst attempting to remove the anti-vandal toilet lid from a blocked loo I dropped the allen key into the aforementioned loo. By this point I was howling with laughter as were the cleaners. The boss walked in to find me clutching a rather smelly toilet paper covered allen key with a fit of the giggles. Turned out his interviewees could hear us laughing in his office which was something he could cope with but three of us launching into a very loud and musically challenged rendition of "things can only get better" required a spot of investigation on his part. Bet he wished he hadn't bothered.

Hoping today is a breeze in comparison. I have lots of things planned including a swift expit from the coal face as early as humanly possible in order to make the most of my OH free time. Further plans involve more cable laying although I think we've hit the half way point which is jolly good because I'm sick of washing mud off the kitchen floor. On the brightside the more trenches we dig the more sand we use up and so the more bags of leftover building stuff depart from the front garden. Am almost at a point where I can do something with the front of the house although realisticaly that involves a skip and a whole lot more building stuff. Might just barrow earth from the back to the front to level the craters and then plant some spuds in it just for the heck of doing something productive.

Oh. My. Word.
moo where on EARTH do you work?!!!!! :eek:

When I went to school you had graffiti in the toilets but people didn't actively use their own faeces for amusement. Although one kid did suck up some bird poo with a straw into his mouth once :rotfl:
I blame Jackass personally

In a primary school. You'd be amazed just how creative a bunch of three year olds can be.

Have done tons of housework. Even found the missing phone under DD2s bed. OH has since lost his change purse and vital bits of his very overpriced model boat kit. Obviously he had nothing whatsovever to do with either of them going missing because he always puts things away when hes done with them. Always. Without fail. Did manage not to laugh or slap him which was far more tempting.

Moo you're so lucky to have an OH who always puts things away, without fail. Lucky, lucky girl :rotfl:Do you have a poltergeist that moves things do you think? It can be the only explanation...

I'm holding off on my splurges until August when I'm going to a charity woolly wonder with the intention of having a go on a spinning wheel and splurging on the many amazing yarns that will be on offer. Means I have 3 months to come up with a short list of patterns and to save up a guilt free splurgable amount.

That sounds ace!

Oh yes mine too - always without fail............. until I stopped putting the lid on the jam/milk in the fridge/clean pile of plates removed from dishwasher into cupboard/new loo roll on etc etc and he thought he was losing it because he ALWAYS does it ! Kept him worried for weeks
