    My Mum always regales us with stories of my younger sister eating mud, but I always thought she was exaggerating - until now!

  • Apparently I ate rat poison when I was 2. My mum walked into the kitchen to find it all around my mouth! They had a mouse that jumped out of a packet of porridge oats one day when she opened the cupboard and my mum put the poison behind the washing machine and somehow I managed to find it (it was one of those twin tub machines rather than me getting behind a built in washing machine!)

    Much panicking ensued I understand..........


    Haven't heard about the job so unless I get a call before lunch it's a 'no'.

    My OH came in last night and said 'erm, I couldn't get you any flowers so I got you this for us to share' and handed me a double Snickers!!! I didn't know whether to laugh or clobber him but I laughed and said 'is this the right time to remind you I don't like nuts??!!'. As he has never bought me anything - ever - I just thought oh well, and carried on telling him off for being so late. He said he 'had to see a man about a dog' and I just let it go - I'm used to his appalling timekeeping!!. Anyway, I took the plates back into the kitchen after eating and on the worktop was a heart shaped box of Ferrero Rocher and a bottle of Jacob's Creek rose wine.................the man about a dog was a man popping to Tesco....I was quite touched as he has never bothered in the past........although the cynic in me thinks he felt guilty because of the gift I'd left him on his doorstep...........but hey.......Ferrero Rocher..........now those I DO like!!!!!!!

    (no card though - I'll have to get him trained up so I get one next year!!!)

  • 2???????? Wow! How d'you manage that? Or should we not ask!?

    I got a card, and a single red rose from the Indian Restaurant G took me to last night.... They were giving them away to all the ladeez on the way out the door.

    So romantic, the waiter said, " a flower for the lady" Big G said "sorry mate, no ladies here, only Maz!"

    Who said romance is dead!

    Yeah Sar, watch the cat litter... dodgy allsorts in there not to mention ammonia...

    Snags, what kinda soil was it.. if it was potting compost it'll be clean.. outside soil maybe less so. Give Tash a drink of milk and wash it away a bit/dilute it.

    Oh and whey hey! It's friday!!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
