Now need to work on sorting out copyright in cake images for a presentation. If anyone has any pictures they'd be willing to let me use I'd be eternally grateful. We can crop them. And I need normal looking ones, not just professional ones... In fact, I also need a very bad one too

please do!

OK here goes.

Background: this joke was told by my then 5-yr-old DS to the headmistress of his new infant school, when asked if he had anything to share:

Q. "What's the difference between a tractor and a giraffe??"

A. "A tractor has hydraulics and a giraffe has high b****cks"

The joke was told to him by my ex FIL's new wife. :eek: And the headmistress mentioned the episode at the next parents' assembly and pointed me out.

Valli

Well that is the last time I water the garden EVER. I went out to give the plants a good soaking and yet again got bitten by something that caused a huge allergic reaction (happened last week too) so I now have the other foot swelling up rapidly and looking like a balloon. So OH will have to do it from now on grrrrr, that means I will have to nag as he won't do it willingly. Flying wise I have done the laundry and that's about it apart from s&s the bathroom about to mop the kitchen floor and head for bed now

Night all xxxxxx

i love it!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

i could imagine a few kids coming out with lines like that that went to my kids first nursery! one kid was so bad he was on the verge of bieng expelled :eek: expelled from a nursery?!

ive decluttered a bag of hula hoops and i painted my nails. i tried to do a nice striped effect but i didnt leave the first coat to dry long enough so it came off on the tape so i had to take it off and start again and in the process (when it was getting dark and i hadnt yet turned on the lights) i managed to pick up the wrong bottle and an hour later i realised i had 2 different colours one! one on each hand! both pink though. what a pleb i am!

Great news mumto5, hope he enjoys it.

I have done nothing from today's list, hubby decided it would be a good idea to lay the hard wood floor in DDs room which we have been putting off for ages. So have spent the day emptying her room, ripping up old floor, laying new floor and all my hard work mon/tue is all wasted cos there is dust and crap all over the house now!
