I can't floss (well I can in a ham-fisted way, but it never feels complete) so I use those little inter-dental brushes. £3 for a pack of 10 from the dental surgerry, but you can use them several times each, with your own toothpaste.

Re the name of the thread. Is that ^^^^ what you'd call an 'Unworthy snaffle'?

Pirate  That's funny

I took the kids to Alton towers today was fun!

Was the weather nice for you Jen?

Yeah it was nice moonie, not loads of people either so the queues were ok too! Only problem was the eldest wimped out of the big rides and the middle one was desperate to go On oblivion/air/nemesis but he was 2cm too short lol was lots of fun though, even the 2yr old had stuff to do

That's good 

You have to be damn brave to go on some of those rides. So no good for me  

Bless the 10yr old, she wanted to but once we got to the front she bottled it (air)

Awww bless 

Had the iPad on the bed and was rummaging around for the remote control and during that I somehow managed to google "kdkdkdkdkdkdkdkd mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm kdkdkdkdkdkdkdkd kdkdkdkdkdkdkdkd" and I got results

 remarkable 

We have a friend who we've sort of adoptedover the years. He's in his seventies, single and stuck in the 1950's. He's bought himself a lap top and it's fallen to me to give him lessons.

 

Last night I tried to help him set up an e mail address. I'm not kidding it was like a comedy sketch. When it came to choosing 2 security questions OMG Blimmin hilarious

 

Q. Which hospital were you born in?

 

A. Well it used to be called .G............... but they changed it to N....... I think the names changed again now - erm - I don't know.

 

Q. your first pet

 

A. We had a dog called Rex (that's good lets put that in) well .................strictly speaking he wasn't mine he was a family pet - he belonged to all of us - I did have Rover but .,hmmmmm - I don't know.

 

Q. What is the name of the street you were bought up in

 

A. Oooh that's a bit tricky because although my parents lived in A ........street - I did spend a lot of time at my grandmas - it was her that bought me up really.

 

Q. The name of your favourite teacher

A. Oh that's easy - Mr Dixon. Well now then - he wasn't actually my favourite but he's the one I remember best - now my favourite was a lady teacher - I can't remember her name now.

 

It was like he was sitting an exam!!! So funny but I was like -

Haha Soozy, funny enough my dad is 61 next week and is about to start a computer course..... Only an hour ago on the phone he was asking me to teach him the basics next time he comes up.... Should be fun

Cinds, I like your owl avi

My Mum was here at the time Jen - she's 82 and batty as anything. She was (I think) a little bit jealous and said' Iris (her friend) has got a lap top - her daughter taught her how to play games and everything.'

 

I gave her a weak smile (thinly disguised as) DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!

Just had a phone call at the office

 

caller "Could I speak to Mr C please"

 

me "Can I say who's calling?"

 

Caller "*insert name* from Secure Health"

 

me "What is it regarding?"

 

Caller "renewal of his health care plan"

 

Me "Does he have a health care plan with you?"

 

Caller "no, not at the moment"

 

Me "So it's not really a renewal then is it?"

 

Caller "Can I speak to Mr C please"

 

Me "No" hangs up 

 

Awwww @ Soozy and  @ Cinds

Will someone please ring me up or distract me or something. It's Monday morning - I'm always a bugger on e bay on Monday mornings - gives me something to look forward to all week.

 

Gotta go .....my timers just buzzed

*speed dials Soozy* Oi! get off e bay 

Lol you lot made me laugh today.

 

Sooz I've given up on ebay.  A lot of the stuff I've bought there either doesn't fit or looks nothing like the pics so then I end up having to resell. Although I do order silly things like ear plugs, nail transfers and candles from there still.

Slimming World update ......I stayed the same - pretty incredible after my trip to France but I have been very, very good since getting back!

Oooooooooh I bet they were steaming 

I've just invited my dad to stay for a few days while the kids are still off school.... looks like that computer lesson it  coming earlier than expected

Do you have a lot of patience Jen?

Recently, my dad phoned me because he wanted to book some flights using the internet. He was too impatient couldn't wait for one of us to visit and book it for him, so I had to talk him through it on the phone. I had to go onto the website and make a fake booking, so I could tell him exactly what to click on. Over an hour later, his flights were booked - and my nerves were shattered! Good luck Jen.

OMG!!! Good luck with that

 

Actually - he's only 6 years older than me so .............it might not be too bad

Jen, be careful! Teaching parents how to use the Internet can result in them claiming your computer

Why do kids come in and head straight for the fridge, so far she's eat a whole packet of chocolate brownies, a cadburys twin pot yogurt and a tub of Ben and Jerrys ice cream 

We'll find out! I normally do tbh, much more than my brother who will go through it once with him and then get fed up when he asks him to do it again lol

She will have my kids again tomorrow, so get her something to calm he nerves when she gets in

And still stick thin I'll bet Not fair IMO.

 

I had the boys here this morning - I had some little butterfly cakes - there was one left..................................I ate it

 

Feel all guilty now.

He can bog off!! lol. I'm already keeping an eye on freecycle and the like for an old one for him

 

 

Yogi, that sounds like fun! Well done for getting him through it

She's very skinny  and she hardly eats any fruit or veg 

She's at the cinema tomorrow, she's been at Harvey Hadden today, by time the Easter holidays are over she will have done 104 hrs  I'm thinking of starting to charge her board
