Well done Jen ... someone who understands me

I was like an industrial espionage person (spy?) today ... son is looking to furnish a bedroom cheaply, so I was walking around taking pictures of all the displays ... I kept expecting to feel the hand on my shoulder

Thank you.  Although tea tights is an interesting twist on a tea strainer? 

I've done it Rexi. Twice. Never again. 

Ikea is brill... i don't like their lay out tbh nor the catalogs(sp) but if i need something i will search it up on their site and get it

Well. I don't want to tell tales young lady ... but I've seen you make more than two typos in your time.

edit to add a smiley, coz I'm going to bed and don't want Xochs to think that I am being serious

 Please no! 

No, no. Not that one it was one involving the capture of one in a glass. I'll try to find it and push it up.

I love a good trip to Ikea, one can never have enough tea lights.

My most memorable trip was when I was suffering from labrynthitis and took a very bad turn while in there and Mr C had to get a wheelchair to get me out.

I am never ever EVER taking my little one town again! 

Holiday next week.... Eldest had her leavers assembly this morning (there was tears) and broke up at 11'ish... So i took them both to town to get a few last bits for holiday. The youngest was a complete nightmare! Wrecking shops (while in her pushchair!!).... shouting at me the lot

 Jen they can still do some damage in that pram, can't they?  My youngest used to try to steal bras and knickers when I took him around the undies section.

I swear Ells she sounded like a right little brat! She's not, she just really hates being in the pushchair. She threw about 10 cards in one swipe in the card shop

Jen did she turn in to a plank to try to stop you getting her in to a pushchair?

OMG, I just had a vision of my sister in law pressing on my nieces stomach, trying to get her into the pushchair!!!

We went to a mini zoo today and a turtle climbed onto the back of another turtle (back legs on the ground, front legs up on the other turtles shell) and did the 'sex' movements .  My youngest started giggling and shouted 'Daddy come see the turtles pretending they're dogs'.  The eldest knew better and was shuffling away and telling the youngest not to stare at them

Oh and I held a snake, as did my youngest.  He loved it.

His eye looks kind of odd there 

Oooo! Lovely snake Ells! I love snakes me.  Is it a corn-snake? My nephew has one of them... about 5 years old now and she's lovely. Called Shadow. 

Your lad looks like he might be asking for one too soon. 

Yes, it is a corn snake.  It felt so much nicer than I thought it would.  I'm not a big fan of snakes but the feeling of that one was lovely.  Silky but when you hold it you can feel how strong the insides are.  My OH was terrified of it

 She would if i let her... i catch her off guard when i need to put her in and bend her before she knows whats happening lol

lil AIms has been accepted by Leeds university 

 Congratulations to lil Aims. Does she start in September?

I'm popping this in here, just in case anyone missed it in other threads. 

That is brilliant ^^^^ - from what I can see. Still having probs here and there but managed to catch the 'essence' - what a beautiful day and what a brave (handsome) lad.

You'd have to tear me off the walls of the plane and forcefully push me out of that plane .....my worst nightmare .......very well done Master Cinds

You wouldn't even get me up in a plane 

Fame at lat. My mum rang me this morning all excited ..........

I'm a bit overcome - imagine if that had never come to light.

Cinds ... that video is BRILLIANT!! He looks like a big lad, but before he jumped he just looked like a child, all frightened and anxious ... I wanted to give him a cuddle!!

And the choice of music was inspired

Sooz ... I always knew you were a personage of note

*bows*

Brilliant soozy 

lil AIms has been working at a sports summer club today and she's just rang to say she's finished and she's shattered, I asked why what you been doing, she said well I joined in with all the sports they was playing and I couldn't let 8 yr olds beat me, I think I'm too competitive  I can see a lot of upset children crying to their parents that the teacher was horrible cause she wouldn't let them win 

She used to play monopoly with my parents when they were babysitting her and she lost once and demanded to be taken home and when my dad said she couldn't cause I was at the pub she ignored them all night 

The next time they played she won and the next day when my mum was cleaning she found a load of monopoly money stuffed in the drawer under the table 

The guy who did the video chose the music, but I was so pleased he put Crazy on there as the track reminds me of the boy so much. When he was younger his street dance school did a show and that was he track he danced to.

I told the missus that I had got the job at the bowling ally, she said Ten Pin, I said no its permanent
