It's overrated

LOL... I just love the idea of being surrounded by books...

hi di sproggy's got a wall full of books that i haven't got the heart to get rid of, i have fond memories of reading them over and over.

oh no i can't do it, the illustrations alone are enough to make me want to keep them. even now, whenever we're in waterstones i find myself drawn to the picture-book section

Strolling off.. night all

Night Angel if you are about

Rain or showers for most places. Becoming windy. Rather cool.

Today:
Scattered showers across Northern Ireland and northwest Scotland. Heavy rain across northeast England, later also eastern Scotland. Heavy thundery showers for southeast and central England. Elsewhere becoming windy with showers or spells of rain, these sometimes heavy. Generally rather cool.

Rain will continue across northern England, while extending across much of Scotland, still heavy in places. Remaining areas breezy, but becoming mainly dry as most of the early showers decay.

First day of the school holidays and it's pissing it down

So we are watching Revenge of the Sith and doing jobs and no doubt I will be bullied into something or other later on.

Morning Angel

I saw weather forecast last night... you .. well not you personally.. but your area is going to be drenched all day

Z.

Yeah it said on local news.


Oh well I have the endless laundry to do and am sure we can entertain ourselves. Luckily for me DVD was the first choice for the day so I can laze about drinking coffee

I have a visitor sometime between 10 and 11 for a couple of hours as well as working out why a particular circuit in a range of electric power showers fails inside their warranty period... I do get an odd range of jobs


Z.

Morning in here

school holidays already sounds early , are they on a 7 weeker this year then or go back early ?

an advantage to working from home Zaph and on that note I ought to get on and finished so I can enjoy the weekend ........although a womans work is never done

I've sorted all the child care out...I am only working 3 days a week and only for the next 3 weeks then I am off for 3 weeks.

I've been surprisingly good and arranged to do things with other mams so as well

But today we are staying in and doing bugger all

I have rang the Ferry people Z and they have said my ID is ok.

The woman seemed to suggest it wasnt important and as long as it had a picture and my name on it.

I could just get the kids to knock something up

Good news on the ID AotN


Z.

Morning all

I am well grumpy today..


I dunno why tho

Morning Olly

Morning Olly Sunshine


Z.

Ouch! .... just got slightly bitten by the mains


Z.

Oh dear

Wasn't too bad... always taught to keep one hand behind my back when working on mains stuff to avoid shocks travelling across my chest... hand just slipped... zap...tingle... takes few minutes for the arm muscles to stop quivering.. must be coffee time then


Z.

You need to be more careful

I probably told you once.. years ago when I was at school .. doing the lights for a school play I managed to get a huge shock from some faulty dimmer slider thing that sent me flying.. came round to find someone, Chemistry master I think, doing CPR... well the chest compression bit.... phew.... not that I needed it...developed a very healthy respect for the mains since then ......

Oh the worst bit was being given hot sweet tea for the shock... I hate tea


Z.

Your lucky he didnt start on the mouth to mouth

.. Knowing him I suspect he would have just turned round to the assembled throng of onlookers and say "There was nothing I could do..."


Don't know where my sodding visitor has got to.. between 10-11 he said...


Z.

Revenge of the Sith is finished and now we have to think of something else to do.

btw do you want a rip of Madagascar 2?


Z.

No thanks we've got it already.

ello again y'all

I figured out why my grumps were bad today. .have had a non stop storm going on all morning .. tis really dark here too.. AND my kettle has decided to leak. .. . it could have leaked a few days earlier then i could have got a replacement with my shopping this week. . not due to do another shop for a few weeks now

on the plus side I smiled a bit today going thru the baby pics thread earlier..

Hello again Smiling Olly

Bugger about the kettle


Z.

I've finished smiling now Zaph .. am back to my normal face

Gotta catch a neighbour going to do an ASda trip and ask em to get me a replacement Kettle.. or mop up the puddle it makes until my next online shop is due

P&P too high for just an online order of a Kettle..

Saucepan?


Z.

ladle?


is this a word association game?

the kettle will do for now. . it's not pouring out in floods yet, just leaking out of the window bit that shows the water level. . and not reaching the electrical outlet yet.. I tried super glue to block the hole, wherever it is, but it didn't work. . stupid hard water area, the limescale breaks all kettles eventually..

I do have a back up kettle but it burns your hands when pouring after it's boiled. . tis a bad design so stays hidden in my cupboard until it is really needed. . saucepan boiled water tastes funny.. . .

We had pancakes.


Now we are watching Harry Potter.

But we are watching number 5 coz we cant find number 1 (we were going to watch them all)

Heya Angel..

Am just off..tis nowt to do with you just arriving tho

am in need of me lunch... and am then going to slob and watch my BB recorded stuff from last night..
