Good on you Joe. I've been in a similar situation, a lady I know from where I walk my dog was attacked (her & her dog) by the dog belonging to the people opposite me.  They said it was because it was startled by her.  I saw it launch itself over the top of the owner to get out of the door to get to them.  I even tried to reason with them that even if it had been startled, what if it had been a small child that startled it and it attacked them with the same viscousness.  I might as well have said 'Hello brick wall'   

OMG!!!!!!!! I so nearly went for them - I've gone for black matt metro tiles instead - I was gonna mix those ^^^^ up with some plain black tiles but they didn't go with the metros. I might have those though as a feature on plain white when I do my bathroom.

Great taste Soozy 

Mr C was laughing at me because when we walked in to the tile showroom I was 'oh they're nice' then 'oooooooooooooh sparkly' and veered off.

They're lovely aren't they?

Yes, I have tile lust now.  It's a shame on the picture that you can't see how the patterned glass tile has a 3d sort of effect.

I've got black slate work tops and I've gone for black matt metro tiles with a couple of strips of cream ones.

I really must try and download some pics,

Mr C has just been in the bath, don't know what's happened but I've now got water peeing through the ceiling 

Right I'm sick of waiting for the men cinds to be ready for this shopping trip, so I've poured a glass of wine 

Oh well the pain of what this trip is probably going to cost me might not seem so bad after a cheeky glass 

I just woke up and now we're heading out shopping. It's only Tesco so nothing exciting. I will be buying Angel Delight though 

Take the wine with you Cinds 

I could pop some in a travel mug, know one would ever know 

Do it 

My lot seem to get excited at the prospect of a visit to Tesco. Mum (me) and her bottomless purse and all that. If I find one thing in that trolley I didn't put there I'll no be happy 

I bought the Hangover 2. If it's as good as the first one then I'm in for a good night  There's nothing like laughing so hard you cannae breathe. 

It's brilliant.  Not as good as the first but still loads of laughs in it.

I've been to the off licence with my sister.  we shouldn't be allowed out together!  For just the 2 of us we've bought a bottle of vodka, bottle of peach schnapps, bottle of cactus jack and 6 bottles of alcopops.  We're making cocktails.

Don't tell me any more. I can't drink and I'll just get jealous  All I can think is "sex on the beach, sex on the beach". I bought a bottle of cider for September. It's cherry flavoured. 

I've never tasted cherry cider!  I like the strawberry stuff though.

I like it all. I want it all 

It's Gaymers pear cherry and apple cider. I hope it tastes as good as it sounds  

Koppaberg strawberry and lime? Love it. I have 4 cans of the mixed berry in the fridge. Do I sound like an alki? 

Not to me you don't  When I was in labour with my eldest I was hopped up on all sorts of pain relief and gas and air and kept telling my Mum to go ring my dad quickly and tell him to run to the offy and get me a bottle of peach schnapps for xmas (we were only on 21st Dec at that stage) I thought it was really important that he get it because at the time, I REALLY wanted it!

I sooo get the bottomless purse ... we spent £198 in Tesco this afternoon

 I couldn't post on here what I said last time I was in labour. I don't think there are enough ***** to cover it  I do remember apologising to the midwife for not shaving my legs though 

It's so easy done. Go in for the essentials and come out with a trolley load. 

The best line in the first one was when they were talking to a doctor and asked for directions and he said "Get a map & F*** off" apart from that line it was rubbish.

Hahahahahha you sound like me and my sisters.

I didnt go to town..... its worse! I got dragged... with all three kids (by MrJen) to SKEGNESS! urgh..... took 1hr 40 mins each way, we left at about 1:30pm so it was about 3 when we got there, a 5 min walk on the beach... arcades and dinner... 1 quick ride at the funfair for the eldest two and then back in the car and home..... I would have rathered town!

VODKA!

Oh Jen   and I thought 7 minutes in the car to the Metrocentre was going to be a nightmare 

Edit to add

A friggin PS3, which I knew I was buying, but he also conned us in to a pair of, what I would call plimsoles/sandshoes....... FERKIN £50.  If Mr C wasn't with me, he would not have got them.

It's all about the label Cinds!

I'm dreading those year with 3 of them!!

I've just attempted to watch 'the woman in black', but had to stop. It's creeping me out, it's dark and rainy and windy outside and I'm alone. Have to watch it on a sunny day around noon.

Send them out to work Jen

My three all got jobs as soon as they were old enough. It's amazing how they go anti-label when they have to buy it themselves

Thanx for the tip!

Rexi, my lad has always been made to earn his stuff.  When he was 9 he put a stone threw a neighbours window.  He paid us back the money from his birthday money.  

Anyway here he is, I know I'm his Mother.

Please ignore the eyebrow decorations, I went mental when I saw that.

He's a bonny boy Cinds 

Nice looking lad

I know what you mean about the eyebrow decoration. I have mentioned before that I have threatened middle child that I won't pay her food bill (she's at uni in that very expensive London) if I ever discover that she has got a tattoo. If she can afford a tattoo she can afford food etc ...

Then - I discovered a photo of her with some sort of body art on her shoulder. Now - is it a real tattoo or was it a fake one for the photo?

She's back home next week for the summer. Will she think I am pervy if I start stripping her clothes off when she walks through the door?

hahahha Rexi it's horrible, I have tattoos and I smoke BUT I would go mental is he did it.

Of course not Rexi. She'll instantly know she's been rumbled.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm it's gonna be interesting - keep us posted!

I will

I'm hoping that she manages to keep covered up all summer (not hard in this weather) and I won't have to see anything.

I'll never forget when i had a my belly button pierced.. my dad didnt know for ages... i would always have a jumper tied around my waist at home when wearing my belly tops.... until one day it slipped down.. next to the sink and my dad saw it when i turned around! Oh i got crap!

Oops Jen! 

When did we become old?  It's crept up on me and I didn't notice
