Tia.. that is exactly why I din't use plasters.. rip it off and stick him some shorts on until it scabs over.. plasters are disgusting they harbour germs and breed infection anyway.

Ashbart.. I came in from school and flung the back door open as the house was so stuffy.. I hate feeling like there is no air. Besides, it is realy warm outside it is just inside that is freezing.. it is 13'C out there!! boiling!!

Tiddles is snoozing on the sofa in the sun in the front room.. next to the cats lol. the rabbits are all snoring in the cage.. silly things!! They sleep all day and wake up when the children get in from school and [strike]torture them[/strike] hug them!!

HHC's set for.. 12:45-1:15pm... 1:30-2pm.. and 2:15-2:45pm.. then I have to dash off to collect the gremlins..

Who is in.. which slots and what you doing?

I am going to slap a coat of paint on in the boys room!! .. If I don't go now it'll NEVER get done.. so.. I'm off.. see you at 1:15pm!!

talking of plasters..... i've nearly got rid of dds veruccas. they were gross and someone told me to put tea tree oil and a plaster on every night. last night she let me file them for half an hour and we made 17 bleed. yip, we're sad and count. normally she can't cope with more than two bleeding. ds is down to two left.

another reminder....don't forget to vote as it gives us more right to complain :rotfl: xx

Soappie some guy with a cap on is in your garden - is it the gardener? If not somebody is tidying up your garden for free. I have taken a snap of him!

Our heat has been off for about 10 days now - kids are learning to put on totes and fleeces.

pigpen

it is from.. www.riverswale.co.uk.. they don't appear to put anything obscure and unasable in unlike most of them!!

Pigpen, I only put it on cos he had his fingers in it! He seems to have forgotten about it for now, nobody remind him!

ashbart

Ok - not that I'm being thick or anything but, do soappie and Dusty live near each other??? Just wanted to clear that up for myself. So confused.

pigpen - Now that's just being fickle. Go and site outside. LMAO!

A friend from another forum who knows I'm on a health kick has just sent me this in an email and its put me off cola for life! :eek:

Water or Coke?

WATER
#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population.)

#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.

#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.

#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?

COKE
#1 In many states the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.

#3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the 'real thing' sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

#6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

#7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

#8... To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:
#1. the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major
contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.

#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate) the commercial trucks must use a hazardous Material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials.

#3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or Coke?

Ok feeling sick now. My OH and I go through at least a bottle of diet coke a day. Please tell me the 'diet' part makes all of the above not true...
