    Aussie you'll have to make sure you buy plenty of nice healthy things when you go shopping from now on ;)

    :confused: people often take their pet kangaroo's out here. They have to be shackled off course. That one isn't dressed properly, they usually have to have a poo bag attached. I eat healthy now. It's not caused from my diet. :rolleyes:
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Hi Y'all, I hope all of you are well this morning.

    A bright and sunny one here in central emids as indeed it is at the coast. I know this because my next door neighbour at the coast has just texted me so say her new baby has arrived safely and as she sits crooning to her new buba she has noticed my windows are filthy and could I give them a rub over when I turn up at the weekend for half term.:o

    I've suggested that as I am currently 100 miles away and given that pregnancy/birth is a condition not an illness, and that moderate excercise is necessary to bring back her pre-preggers figure, that the 'neighbourly' thing for her to do was pop over and buff them up for me.:p

    She has threatened to do this after lunch with a rag soaked in posset:eek::rotfl:

    Gotta go to work now and then shop for a suitable baby gift. Ha Ho my loss is Mr Tesco's gain!

    Morning all. Found out today I have a visitor coming at two. Aaagh the house is a state. And yet I'm still on the internet.

    LO woke up at 5am this morning, for some reason he's decided he wants early morning milk again. Thankfully he went back to bed immediately and I got some much needed sleep. Going to do a 1 hour super-clean after I've showered and changed. Then pick my friend up from the station at 2pm.
    Taking baby-steps :beer:

    Oh, Jayward - (((hugs))) to you - you rant as much as you want; it's what we're here for.

    AUSSIE - (((hugs))) to you.

    It's quite cool here now and the sun has gone in. I popped down to the village and the charity shop which has been closed for revamping has not re-opened yet; they're behind schedule and should open tomorrow. Anyway, next stop was the gym, only it wasn't - because I was too cold and just wanted to get back to the car and drive home!

    Mrs Moneypenny - knitting's much more fun than chores - I worked really hard this morning before I went out so I'm just going to type up a couple of invoices and a letter for DH and then I might treat myself to an afternoon in front of the TV with my knitting! Having watched Officer and a Gentleman yesterday (swoon, blush, go all girly!) I need to see what else I have recorded. Pride and Prejudice was lost when we had to have the Sky+ box replaced so it won't be Colin Firth lighting my fire today!

    Anyway, need to go and get this typing done.

    See you all later.

    Morning all!

    I have read the whole thread in one go, and now really don't have time to post:rotfl: ( Yes I know I am:p )

    Just wanted to say to Pam, how times change! I wanted to go to my grandad's funeral when I was nearly 9 but I wasn't allowed, because I was a child. I'm with everyone else, let each child decide for themselves. Don't brook any argument with any relatives, distant or otherwise. I'd just smile and say " My Dad knew they loved him, he would want them to do whatever is best for them." Attendance or not at a funeral does not signify anything. (((hugs))) to you all.

    Must fly, I should have been out of the door 15 minutes ago, and I'm not ready yet:eek:

    Speak later, CM x

    Fair enough, but if you look at the picture you can see it has been doctored by an image program such as photoshop. The kangaroo and all it's accessories have been added into the pic of a lady in a supermarket. From this point of view as it's apparently not genuine I don't feel that there has been any cruelty, if I had thought for one second that there was I wouldn't have posted the link to the pic in the first place.
