    Hey guys, just got back from DP walking and caught up with the goings on... all i have to say??...... thank GOD i don't have kids!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
    The one thing that made me realise was when i read the book "Marley and me" and i quote " unlike a dog, you can't go out and lock the kids in the garage for 4 hours while you go have fun..." although i'd imagine it must be mighty tempting at times!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Right off to do me 'ooverin.... OH has showered the house with shavings this weekend by letting the ferrets out to do battle all day. Kitchen looks great Keren, want to come do mine?:D

    Exactly! I mean how much effort would it take to give it a quick rub over once a week..dont have to do it every day.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Yeah, think I will try becoming a vegetarian until he understands the hood needs seeing to more often, instead of leaving it up to me!

    So that when things are getting hot, just let him know that meat is out...

    Is this a new rule:confused: or one of those new age parents thingies. Me and my brothers used to be kept waiting in the car for hours as my Dad went scouring scrapyards. Well it felt like hours:rotfl:

    When I was little I went into my friends house and wondered where the battery charger was in the kitchen. We always had a car battery charging on our kitchen worktop and I thought everyone did this:rotfl:

    Oh the depravation:rotfl:
