Pigpen - I like the term poo palour. Ours has a sign up saying 'reading room'.

I might just have to take that sign up myself Mud and stick it on the appropriate door. My poo parlour has a whole shelf of books in it. The sort you can pick up and dip into for a couple of minutes and then return - like a dictionary of quotations, a dictionary of British History, Manners for Men (fat lot of good THAT one does!), a 1930's Universal Reference book etc. etc.

If there ARE books in the poo parlour - ones that can be picked up and opened up at a random page with little snippets on that random page, you'll be surprised just how much the offspring learn through sitting on the po.

Soappie, we have a fab bathroom book that is just what you say...lots of little bits of information. I love it.

Michelle, how do we get to see your piccies on Facebook? I've been a member for a couple of months but don't know how to find people on it! Is there a fly lady group on there?

How was I to know that a bag saying GUAG didn't contain 'good unshelled almond goofers (couldn't think of a G word! ). Oh, and for the record, I didn't give it to soappie she wrestled it off me and me a poor, strangly shaped squirrel too!

H'Excuse me! That's libel! I do NOT wrestle with anyone - just the occasional cellophane wrapping around items that seem to be unable to be sold without the security stuff on them.

But, given you're a poor, strangly shaped squirrel, I guess the disability discrimination act thingy comes in to force so I'll forgive you for that outburst.

Can you believe the cost of respraying my red fiat, it cost a fortune! Not telling you what colour it is now :rotfl: .

Hmmmmmmm and double Hmmmmmmm - my Miss Marple section of my brain says I'd better watch out for ANY coloured f[STRIKE]i[/STRIKE]art on my drive.

Mud - you're fast becoming my prime suspect.

Mudbath

Moi? :eek:

But I drive a double decker bus {that'll throw people off the scent!} I managed to get a grant to learn to drive buses...me being a discrimnated against squirrel and all!

I am bored of PTA accounts - bored bored and double bored.

Mudbath

That's the one PTA job I refuse to take on...not that that will make you feel any better. Time for a cup of tea?

Pleasant dreams-careful what you say-don't want nightmares again:eek:

Sorry been a hectic day, not had much of a chance to read through. I hope you are all well, super duper hugs for those who need/want one. Suite looks 10 million times better for being professionally cleaned so apart from a couple of boxes of 'stuff' the conservatory is complete! Hall and stair carpets are much better, not perfect but I didn't expect it to be.
