    Latest on the stropy teenager saga - noticed on his calender in his room he has marked in 'behave for 1 month and mum might get me a dog' what on earth :confused: think i'm quite safe there then! :rolleyes:

    One minuite he wants a puppy the next he's tellin me he thinks he'll have a drink at the weekend! Flamin nora he's not even 15 :eek: :eek: :eek: Over my dead body sunshine. Aaaahhhhhh one day i'll chuckle to myself about this i'm sure!

    I'm chuckling about it now!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I shouldn't really, cos it'll all bite me on the backside in a year or two when DS1 starts......
    :dance:There's a real buzz about the neighbourhood :dance:
  • Afternoon all :) Haven't read through the thread yet, apart from a few posts this morning so will catch up in between my jobs (ironing at the moment - yawn!)

    (((hugs))) to anyone who needs them today

    Well i was planning to get a few loads of washing done and dried as its been fine each afternoon this week but obviously it rains today :rolleyes: So theres washing draped all over the house which i hate!

    Went to Asda this morning with my mam for my first shop of my new GC month, spent around £24 so not bad but there was hardly anything there really! Nipped to the bank and fruit and veg shop in town and decided to have a nosy in the charity shop, got a pair of River Island jeans for me, £3.50 :D and a Dorling Kindersley Nature Encyclopedia for £1.95 for DD, its HUGE (RRP £25) and shes over the moon with it, keeps following me around telling me interesting facts about plants and mammals lol

    Chicken curry, rice and naan for tea, DD is having fishcakes with mash and broccoli left from last night.

    Take care all

    Big news from the grapevine that is Facebook, about another OSer even if she doesn't post on here very often...

    Apparently johanne has had the baby :j :j :j

    Perhaps big sis nicki can confirm that all is OK? (edited to say: I just dropped her a PM :))

    Don't be late squiggly. I shalln't wait forever.... ;)


    Ahem :rolleyes: :rolleyes: are you not a hapilly married man ? or have i completly got the wrong end of the stick ? and if you are, what does Mrs TNG think of your goings on :D:D:D:p

    Ageandjo, sorry to hear you are still feeling unwell, ways to relax .....hmmmm a glass of wine always helps me, and make yourself sit down for at least an hour or so in the evening.

    Martyn, I am afraid you will just have to put up with all the juicey details, I for one have not been on a date for a few years, and want ALL of the details, perhaps if squiggly warns you you could shut your eyes and no peeping ;)

    RZL, :T my opera cd's arrived today, have only have chance to listen to one cd but I LOVE it, I particularly like the male voices, have not got a clue what they are singing about, but some of the songs are more 'agressive' than others, and I love these, they make me quite emotional, will be back for more suggestions soon. Thanks you are an :A ps my dd HATES it in only a way that a 13yr old can, and has got her ipod on with her terrible music playing :rolleyes:
    Dazi, enjoy your weekend xx

    redruby, did the CD come with a booklet with the words in, so you can understand what they are singing about? If not, let me know which arias and I'll tell you what they are about :)

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    I should really start reading this thread again :o Just popping in here to let you all know :
    Johanne had a little girl at 2.40am, weighing in at 7lb 13oz, they're calling her Sarah and both are doing great:D:D:D:D

    Our mum will pass on the congrats and that when she goes in tonight to see her (I can't go, got a cold/cough and DD isn't allowed in the hospital anyway either! ). I'm sure she'll pop on when she gets home and let you know more or post some pics. I'm just posting what I've been given permission too :rotfl::rotfl:

    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
