Nice people thread part 6 - thrice by twice as nice :)

PasturesNew

I have spent the day dithering over supplies.... buying stuff to make stuff.... what, who from..... and convinced I can get a better price/deal ..... and looking at pictures of nice things to make.

Productivity: 0

I'd have fitted in well with the company ....... except I quit when Wheezy got all "mightier than...."

Oh, i think dear one, i have to hand in my notice. I am not really all that nice, i hate the idea of golf and i hate secret santa.

Every year i tell dh to give scratch cards...and he gets sniffy because he thinks he will really resent it if someone else wins big on a scratch card he bought.:o

don't worry, only i get to play golf. your job is security - you have to make sure wheezy doesn't get back onto the premises. you are allowed to delegate the task to your menagerie.

The dogs would play with westy dog, so i think that plan is scuppered!

brrr - it's turning a little nippy.... might have to find something to stand on so I can shut the window.... it's tough being a short-4rse.... although I still need to move the clothes airer to get to the window.

I've just checked some of the pics we took when on holiday in Canada.

Unfortunately, we used one of those GoPro action cams. It's great for action videos like tubing or white water rafting, but I forgot the fish eye effect on normal pics (oops). I feel a right pillock now

You can undo fisheye .... if you've got Photoshop I think there's some add-on. But other software might have the same... or there might be something free/online available.

Worth a few Googles anyway.

My daughter won't stop eating, more toast please, more pasta please and then dessert, more yoghurt please, my shopping bill is going to go through the roof at this rate! And her hearing is nothing short of spectacular when I open a box of cake or something...anyone else that has children, is this normal? I don't know where she puts it all?!

Our DKs are also always eating, you would swear they are never given SCHOOL dinners although it does sound like the portion sizes are half what they get at home. Luckily the girls at least have inherited my high metabolism, DS we will have to worried on as I don't like chubby kids. Not even my own.

lydia, can you get security to remove this man from the premises. i've never seen him before in my life. when that's done can we get an injunction in place to stop him coming within 500 yards of the building.

i'm off for lunch now, i'll be back at 4.30pm.

you missed out the fact that wheezy set up a company to employ all of the NP, but that i have taken it over in a legal coup, and wheezy is now shuffling around the streets, dressed in rags, destitute. i'm paying lydia £250,000 a year to run it whilst i play golf. everyone else is on minimum wage, except PN who is paid in cake.

I have shut myself in my executive office, told my PA I'm in a meeting and not to be disturbed, and am catching up on the NPT.

Yes it's normal. She's probably growing. You'll just about get used to it, and then it'll go back to "normal" again for a bit when the growth slows down. Unless she starts looking worryingly obese, just go with the flow. I remember that freaking me out with DS until my mum told me that as far as she knew, all kids go through phases of ravenous hunger like that. [X-posted with michaels]
