Thanks MCI
All ok at the mo.0 -
All sounds very hectic. Hope everyone is feeling better. I find the teenagers smoking electronic cigarettes hilarious. It is hardly rebellion.

Spent £1.50 on some aromatherapy oil. Tried to do an AF order but lost interest.
No sign of CM so will have to enter the twilight zone of the CSA.
Today I am grateful for

*only being called an effing biatch once today
*Enchiladas for dinner

That's a very dramatic series of GOT Al
I am sorry you were called an effing biatch. In fact, it would probably be quite funny if someone went to the trouble of saying 'effing biatch', but I suspect they said the real one, which is far less funny :rotfl:0 -

:wave:
This is definitely one of those things that sounds good in theory but the day-to-day reality could be very different! Are they your olds or Mr. A's? I know Mr. Hbbb couldn't live with my mum but I know if we asked her she'd move in like a shot - it's something of a standing joke in our house that she's always talking about how we could convert the garage into a little annexe! OH told her he'd build one for her ... on my sister's house
Truth is we'd love a farmhouse too but if we suggested that she'd then make jokes about us putting her out to pasture! For my part I just couldn't share a kitchen with her, so own space is definitely a criteria to think about, however great your olds are! Want to hear more about this plan, please!Stash busting 2014 45 / 60 (balls of yarn)!
