    I read it as
    Dear god I'm sorry that ? The things you have done wrong. Like tearing toys and hitting people and shouting dirty scaredy pants at Leanne. I am really sorry please forgive me love from Sheridan and thank you for everything.
    Is that very close? I thought he was throwing dirty scaredy pants at Leanne when I first read it.

    The thanks made me smile, DD3 use to say Sanks and Sank Que when she was little

    LW I envy you your skill of rune reading I find the thought of tarot and runes fascinating

    Mrs MP I'm good with Runes but rubbish with Tarot.:D

    WHen I was working for the MoD, we used to have arbitrary passwords of nine random letters given us for the computers; naturally, they were impossible to memorise, plus they were changed every 30 days, so everyone used to write them down; I did better than the others in that I used to write them down using Runes.:rotfl:

    Judi thanks; I could have stared at it all evening and I'd never have deciphered it.:rotfl:

    Judi that is cute. I managed to read it but I guess I'm so used to deciphering my students' writing that it looks pretty good.

    Got home from uni in time to do some pruning and planning what needs to be done in front garden (lots). Many years ago in our first or second spring, our front garden was in the 'shortlist' to the village competition (you don't enter; the committee just wanders around). That was after we had redesigned and replanted everything. Sadly we've not made it to the Village News since - maybe that should be an ambition for the next few weeks...........

    Was interrupted in garden by 4 phone calls and a visit about heat exchange water systems. Mr N had agreed to the first (cold) call that he would be interested to receive A LEAFLET. The next 2 were follow ups not knowing each other were following up............they said an engineer called Dave would come round. An engineer called Ian turned up and said his talk would be about an hour. Mr N said he'd asked for a leaflet. Ian spoke about boilers. We said we don't have a boiler, we have an aga which does our hot water and central heating. Ian rang office. Office rang us. Ian left, leaving a brochure about not just hot water but boilers and central heating. I asked him how much, and he said 'betweek 1K and 12K. Half an hour later the office rang to talk about it all. Mr N said they didn't have anything we needed. "ah but that is why you need an hour with the engineer..........". So let's get this right; an engineer knows more about my shower/washing up/general use of hot water habits than I do?

    I have vacuumed bedroom and en suite.
    - emptied bins
    - shaken rugs and mats out of window.
    - de-cobwebbed bedroom
    - polished shower surround, mirrors and towel rail
    - Mr N has made more macaroons and just started making risotto.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    when I read the dirty scaredy pants I was most disappointed as that was not what I had read...I read EXACTLY what Judi put :eek: - mind you I have had lots of practice when it comes to deciphering the writing of small persons.

    When I was in Y2 last year the class was taken by another teacher who was MOST agitated to read that, according to the child who was describing similarities and differences the other girl was different because 'she has tits and I don't'.

    She took a LOT of reassuring (from me) that the trouser-wearing writer was pointing out that her friend wears tights! :rotfl:

    Aww bless judi I managed to read it but then I have a 4yr old and a 6yr old so am used to reading phonetic spellings :)

    This was what made me chuckle tonight:
    Put kiddies to bed, came downstairs. Heard DS (6) wailing, quite loud. Went up to see what was wrong. He's in bed holding his photo book of his dad, crying. So obviously, thinking he was sad I put my arms out and said "oh, love, I know it's hard". He fell into my arms and said "I'm not crying about daddy, I just banged my head on my knee" :rotfl: oh dear. He's ok now but clearly wasn't amused at my laughing...

    Am a naughty mum tomorrow sending them to school club on my day off ;) I'm going shopping and then doing the ironing in peace. Lol

    Have done bog all today but finished work and even switched my phone off!!!

    Away with the fairies :beer:
