    I'd be 10 (but not 2+8!) and OH 6! Suppose I'm more grown-up than he is. :rotfl:

    I would be 11 (2+9) and OH would be the same. Or we could both be 2 sounds about right. :rotfl:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    I'm not sure I like that theory, as it makes me 10 (2+8) and OH is just 5 (3+2). How in the world did I manage to become twice his age??!! :rotfl::rotfl: He'll be over the moon.

    Oh, wait a minute, does this make him my toy boy?? :rotfl::rotfl:
    Ah, I didn't explain it far enough, probably because we both go back to a single figure straightaway.;)
    Euronorris, your 2+8=10 is then "reduced" further, by taking your 2-digit figure (10) and repeating the process, so 1+0=1, so you're actually only 1.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:You just reduce down by adding the digits together til you get one digit, so you can never get older than 9.;):rotfl:
    Vanilla has the right idea.

    MrsChaos thanks for the info re Lady-L - lots and lots of healing vibes for her, then, so that she can start her American Adventure asap.:o

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Yesssssss!!!! I knew if I tried hard enough, I could reduce my age significantly! :D

    Ahh, that also makes my Mum 1 (6+4 = 10. 1+0= 1)! :rotfl:Dad's still 7 though!

    OH is going to be very pleased at having his age reduced to 5. If he moans about being old one more time, I'm going to get some brochures for nursing homes and tell him to start choosing! :rotfl: Honestly, he's not even close to being old. Granted, he's not 18 anymore, but so what? Personally, I wasn't that keen on my life at 18, so I have no desire to go back to that age.

    More washing out on the line and wheelie bin brought up. Rhys is back down at his granny's getting some dinner, there feeding OH too. One less thing to do.

    Painters are gonna do the hall too while there at it, they've already filled walls and painted the doors and skirting (that would have taken me a month to do). MIL is gonna pay them and then i'll pay her for the bedroom today and pay for the hall on tuesday (was PIL's idea to get it done now while painter was here but i just hadn't budgeted for it so they said they would help). :D

    I'm in the kitchen hiding....:rotfl: I don't like strangers in the house, OH has been out all day because he doesn't like it too.

    Suppose i should make something to eat for myself...:drool:

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    My flying has halted as I don't really feel like it. I had my half hour me time in the hairdressers this morning, sorted some stuff out at the bank and picked some shoes up from the cobblers. Drove past the old house while I was there but they haven't put it up for sale yet. I still need to pack and do my nails but I have another workman here and the front door is open so I don't want to go upstairs. It won't take me long when I start.

  • I'd be 11 - or 2. Depends on whether I get to by all the lovely music stuff or get nagged about nasty little HUGE household bills!


    Big froggy day today. Found loads of the giant cane toad size lurking in the paperwork heap. Plus a couple that look like members of Jabba the Hutt's family.....


    Have dealt with Income Support review form today. As sent to me by the Benefits Integrity Centre. So I'm either thought of as being stupid or likely to be criminally minded. Not sure what is worse. Ah well, what's the worst they could do? Oh yeah, stop all my money, make me starve to death, made homeless, sent bailiffs in to sell the cats for scrap, lose me funding for the rest of my degree, stop me from getting prescriptions, etc, etc......

    Bah. It'll be alright. There's always part time bar work if I take enough drugs.


    Oh, and I filled in a blue badge application as my DLA being reduced means I lost automatic entitlement. That wasn't so bad, as all they could do is take away my freedom pass.... :eek: :eek: :eek:
    then I would have to take loads more drugs to get to the mythical job I would have to get :D



    Off to garden centre now for an hour or two to spend some of my vouchers. Let's hope I don't have to declare them. :whistle:

    Just got 2 bills to pay online, buy some stamps, stick the post in the letter box and then I'm done!


    (oh, then do free school meals application for Minion, complete her care plan for school, fill in her music lessons form in case the permission online doesn't count as permission, call physio and rebook her back appointment, find approved school trousers in only shop that they can be bought from and doesn't carry her size as she's so skinny)


    Oh yeah. Was supposed to be making appointment for GP to get bloods results, more painkillers and other drugs. !!!!!!.



    Did I ever mention that I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE admin and paperwork?


    Well, just so you know, IHATE paperwork!
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
