I too lead a miserable life..sucks eh.
on the news front Elmo has been on news a lot recently, mixing with the likes of David Beckham and Heidi klum, so at least he has a good one!
Bob xBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Ah, they are all the same aren't they? selfish gits.
Mr b. Has been off this week and done booger all, and has taken an interest in MSE, keeps looking over my shoulder..
I have had to go on old style a lot in order to confuse him with recipes and stuff.
Trouble is he is a greedy pig and keeps referring back to recipes and badgering me to make them. I can't win!
luckily he can't figure out my passwords so can't get in and find me. Ha!Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

At least Mr Bob has a healthy, varied appetite ~ Miseable Bollox is a NIGHTMARE.
If its not sausage, pie, mash or chips he's not interested :eek: :eek::heartpuls baby no3 due 16th November :heartpulsTEAM YELLOWDFD 16/6/10"Shut your gob! Or I'll come round your houses and stamp on all your toys" The ONE, the ONLY, the LEGENDARY Gene Hunt :heart2:0 -
Mr.Bob will eat anything if not nailed down. He is built like a bloody whippet as well...makes me sick.
Mind if you had tasted his mothers cooking, and he survived it, then it is understandable that when he meets a Nigella type person such as myself that he is always after decent grub.:rotfl: :rotfl:
I don't know how to stop MB from having a ltd diet,
It must be hard..but cheap:D Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

TBH its not cheap (as we all eat differently) and you would be surprised how many takeaways we have :eek: :eek:
Actually, DID have, we are being very good lately.
AND, on another MSE note I have now split our money between bills account and spends account and by rounding bills up to the nearest £5 we have paid £25 off the O/D this month.
On a BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD note, G&E DD has gone up £47pcm :faintssmiley::heartpuls baby no3 due 16th November :heartpulsTEAM YELLOWDFD 16/6/10"Shut your gob! Or I'll come round your houses and stamp on all your toys" The ONE, the ONLY, the LEGENDARY Gene Hunt :heart2:0 -
When eldest daughter was at home, it was a bit like that. she would never eat what the rest of us did, lived off bloody noodles most of the time.
Takeaways, well before i found MSE, the local indian knew us that well we had birthday cards. On fridays,they used to ring up mr.b to say they were cooking him something special..!!!!!!!!
They have stopped ringing now, as i had to say he had left home and i kicked him out....if only.
It has saved us a fortune.Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Well, the better weather will help and we could do lots to reduce our carbon footprint so yes.
Failing that we could sell the kids :heartpuls baby no3 due 16th November :heartpulsTEAM YELLOWDFD 16/6/10"Shut your gob! Or I'll come round your houses and stamp on all your toys" The ONE, the ONLY, the LEGENDARY Gene Hunt :heart2:0
