Mrsmp - Happy 21st Birthday for your DD - what are her plans?


TMD xx

we had cake and pressies on saturday - she loved the tinkerbell stitch id done her and id got a piece of her college art framed as a surprise. and gave her some money towards a camera she fancied. i made a red velvet cake which turned out really nice (had a bit of help from mary crocker;)) her and fiancee went down to fistrall beach yesterday, hes booked a surf and spa break. they had a 4 hour surf lesson this morning and are getting massages this afty.
just had a text saying today is brilliant.
they come back sometime tomorrow.

been to work, fed DH and hes gone back. lappy should be back later, but need to take DS2 for a haircut-he made a start himself over the weekend:eek: so it needs sorting ASAP.its his school concert tonight so depending on which side you see him it may or may not look bad.:o

i hope scottish power get something sorted out for you that is cheaper than your current billing TMD

better go and do something

ASDA website is rubbish. Wasted an hour trying to order something. Their customer service are talking absolute !!!! on the phone. Eventually spoke to somebody more helpful who admitted they have changed there system and are having problems. AAAAAAAAAAAAargh

bossymoo

Aahh very helpfully, the bossman said work from home tomorrow too, which does get me out of a pickle.
So that's that sorted :T

I think someone on another thread is getting rather peed off with me - I only commented on someone elses experience with a compliance check where there has been an error and it's taking an age to sort out. Something along the lines of there being no accountability or escalation / complaints procedure.

I've been duly shot down in flames because apparently welfare claimants don't deserve an efficient service (although I think in the long run efficiency costs less to run) and how they managed to bring up two children alone without any support other than local mums collecting their kids from school. Oh dear. I appear to be all that is wrong with the world.

Goodness knows why "tax payer who isn't eligible for tax credits" is browsing the tax credit renewal thread <rollseyes> unless they are looking for us naughty widows (how very dare we?) with babies, to have a pop at.

I wouldn't mind, I was just trying to sympathise with someone else!

Anyway, tea break over, back to paid stuff. Want to clock 2 more hours this aft then I can do the rest when babes are in bed later.

She's asking for icecream now! I think not, baby puppy!

Bossy take no notice, and stick with the old addage of dont feed the trolls.
whats the saying walk a mile in someone elses shoes before you judge them?
my shoes might not be very comfy at times but i would not choose to step into yours or anyone elses.
have a hug from me and some icecream with your lo

bonnie_bumpkins

bossy I agree with Mrs MP - don't feed!!

Sadly, there are people who scour such boards with the sole intention of spitting poison. Trying to argue/reason with them is just what they want, to keep the bile coming. I keep away now.

mrs-moneypenny

DH lappy has just been returned i know nothing about it so will leave it for him to check. going to hopefully meet DS2 at hairdressers now so he looks presentable for the concert.

Agree wholeheartedly! It's like that poster who popped in to have a pop at Pigpen the other week. I looked at her thread (which has since disappeared) and I was amazed at her opinions! And why enter the flylady thread just to have a pop at someone? As my mum used to say - 'If you can't think of anything nice to say - DON'T say anything at all!' Wise words.

Hope DD continues to feel better - and I concur - no icecreams until she's back eating normal stuff - keep to the starchy stuff for the foreseeable future!

pigpen

Bossy.. I get such crap a lot.. I had one yesterday having a go because I have only slept with 2 men and I shouldn't have got married until I'd done half the town.. apparently that is called 'life experience'.. I'd rather have none.. there is no room on this site for those who do things differently or make different life choices or are faced with lifes adversities.. obviously some classy people out there! .. I must admit I do love a bit of troll baiting.. it makes me giggle when they get all worked up.

CY.. that one pretty much stalks me.. green eyed monster syndrome is very sad. I have it on ignore so just dealt with 'the management' regarding it.

if memory serves me correct she came in here before and had a pop at pigpen for having the money to buy snow fairy from lush for her children. her name stuck in my mind so as soon as i saw her again i knew she wasnt in here for cleaning tips;)

off to meet DS now honest

bossymoo

haha, I do remember your stalker pigpen, and I saw that thread - I think they said you were 23 and you replied you had a 22yr old son, lol.

Maybe I'll get celebrity status too

Oh dear, DD is howling - might have to get her in the buggy for a walk. I'll never get done at this rate...
