    Finally got around to reading the last few days papers, and came across this - looks like he'd fit in here perfectly - I know I saw more than a little of myself in it :rotfl:

    If one of the cats is sick I leave it to dry (can be days depeding on how moist it is) cos you can pick it up easier :) Likewise with poo...

    I'm sorry I was just rereading for a laugh and had to dig this one out again, it has me in fits every time :rotfl:

    I can beat that...

    Last time I used my Dyson (I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE it.. but I LOVE Henry) I vacuumed DS1's room (16) .. while slurping up sweet wrappers from behind the monitor this 'thing' slurps its way up... It was a condom used while 'burping his worm' so he didn't make his sheets sticky... I had to empty and wash said Dyson bucket (did I mention I hate that machine) because I could see it going round.. and round.. and round.. and round.. in the cyclone!!!

    and sorry but this one had me crying again :rotfl:



    I cant read anymore my sides hurt

    It was the same with me - first time I've laughed out loud at a piece of writing for a long time.

    WHSmiths is the cheapest online at the moment by the way ;) (going to see if I can get a voucher to work instore though and get it even cheaper)

    For all of two hours my house looked immaculate!!!!

    I have dusted, polished, cleaned, tidied, hoovered etc. DH almost had a hernia lifting suitcase on top of wardrobe!!!:eek: When he asked me what was in it I replied "spare toilet rolls!" unblushingly! Decided it was tactful not to mention the books in there as well!!! I love books!!!!

    DD(23) came back and thought her sister(the very houseproud and tidy one , who does not get it from me - had been in overdrive!) There were even fresh flowers in vases arranged nicely throughout the house. Fresh baked bread was in the panasonic!

    My stash of long life milk and bread flour had been hidden away as well!

    The viewers of our house arrived at three and by six o'clock the "lived in look" had crept its way back!!!!

    It may never be this nice again unless we have more viewers!!!!

    This thread has really cheered me up!!!!
