My DD asked me why I had worn a particular belt the other day (she's 3).

I said "I like it, I thought it looked nice. Don't you?"

"no" she said "I think it looks random"

:rotfl:

You should have asked her if that was to a 95% confidence level or 99%.

It's nice to know its not just me:D OH calls them my randoms because he says they're in my head I think about it, it comes out in randoms:rotfl:

Stream of consciousness - as I am forever telling my mother, there really are some things that should stay firmly inside her head instead of bothering relatives who end up staring at her with that "!!!!!!, do I look like I care" look.
Which is fine until I turn into my mother - unfortunately the signs are already there and the prognosis is not good.

There is, you buy the oats so simple porrige , you tip a sachet in to a bowl, fill said sachet with milk, pour on top of the oats,stick in microwave for 3mins and walla perfect porrige lol

Ps you should like me, dh is often shocked at the amount of ponderings that comes out of my mouth lol x

Now I have some of this to use up - it is not my most favourite. However, I have been experimenting with adding a bit more milk with a few seconds extra cooking or a bit less milk with regular timing as I like a stodgier porridge. Today instead of microwave i heated it on the stove and left it to cool - that had the best results as it kind of sets.

I have to have these conversations with myself though as Kid's Dad thinks I going into a manic phase and wants me to up my medication. Glad to know Im not the only one!

I totally agree with you, porridge and milk have to have a perfect consistency. Next time he mentions the oil in the car, which half Arsenal scored in, or his shaving rash tell him you'd rather discuss porridge. But be careful this could turn int Porridgegate unless you keep a close eye on it.
