I get a bit paranoid as sometimes I'm a bit outspoken and it doesn't always go down well with everyone.

As for your sad news you really do have my utmost sympathy. I know what it is to lose a best friend ......it is incredibly painful. So sorry for your loss(es).

Condolences to you Supes xx 

In an attempt to redress the balance of a long sh*t c/o Pirate may I offer the following

Our eldest grandson turns 4 tomorrow, so we ran around today getting everything gathered and posted to him. Mr C rang the grandboys mother tonight to say hopefully his stuff should arrive tomorrow in time for his birthday. 

Turns out its his birthday today!! For the last 4 birthdays we have always sent his stuff to arrive on the 29th!

Aww Cinds

That's OK Cinds. Kids like their birthdays spread out .....my daughter still tries to get a week at the least out of it and she's thirty. She calls the day after her birthday 'my boxing day'.

Jen, I feel terrible.

However, I imagine Mr C's ex wife who is the mother of my grandsons mother is cackling with glee.

I'd be sure of that Cinds

Cinds don't sweat it, Kids at that age are happy to get the gifts spread out a bit

My daughter's 18th went on for about 2 weeks 

Oh dear Cinds

I have no idea when my sister in laws birthday is ... I know it is somewhere around the 18th April, so I always aim for then and hope that one year the card arrives on the right date!

I'm a bit too embarrassed to ask after all this time!

She sounds like my nieces - they still get 'unbirthday' presents when the other has a birthday and woe betide my sis if one gets a bigger santa sack than the other on Christmas Day    You'd not think the eldest was a 34 year old mother of two herself!

Shouldn't Ell's be back from her hols by now?

Wonder where she is .......hope everything's OK.

I'm back ages Sooz  Had a lovely time but got back to find there had been a power cut which seems to have somehow fried my broadband router  no idea how that happened but it's not working and we're waiting on a new one so I'm only getting online at my Mum's for now!  It also blew every light in the house and defrosted my freezer.  Now my washing machine is on the blink AND my drier is having tantrum so I'm going to have to replace those soon .

I think Aimee was round my house when I was gone!

Ell, sounds like you returned to a nightmare.  Hope you get it all sorted soon.

Can I come in here and SCREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, that feels better my daughter is seriously doing my head in, she's been offered a place on the Africa trip again with Uni and they want £600 by friday and she thinks I can just get it out my back pocket so it's all going to be my fault if she misses her place, the last time I looked she had two parents

Oh no Aimee.  Has she rang Daddykins yet to ask for his contribution?

Blimey Aimes

it was so much easier when they were little and just pined after a new Barbie or Action Man wasn't it?

Well seeing as he hasn't paid her phone bill for the last two months I can't see him being muchhelp she pee's me off when she comes up with these requests a few days before the moneys due and now she's ignoring me cause I said can't you speak to them and ask for a bit more time the funny thing is she's got the money herself in her account but she doesn't want to part with it

Rexi even when she was younger she still cost me a fortune, thats what you get for having one and spoiling them

And now theres some sort of party going off behind my house in the community centre and we've had The Police, message in a bottle 3 times

we've had The Police, message in a bottle 3 times

i think they might come quicker if you ring them

OMG!! Still, at least it isn't Status Quo ... that would drive me mental!!

There has been a really horrible accident at my daughters workplace today. Two guys seriously injusred - one of them an apprentice only 19 critically ill and badly burned.

It has really upset her and I have such a horrible feeling in my stomach. Terrible

Oh poor thing ... hope he recovers well

Oh no  my brother had to pull someone out of a car today that crashed in front of him 

They've stopped thank God 

I just received this in an e mail.It made me chuckle.

I lubs you pirate. Funniest post! 

Sad news. The man who created the chain of Odeon cinemas has died. He was 91. His funeral is next Tuesday at 2.10, 4.20, 6.40 and 9.10.

My friend sent that to me many.........I do mmiss  years ago as a birthday card. It never fails to make me chuckle

She always sent the very best cards - I do miss her.

this was another one if hers.

lol

Did any of you see this inspired Halloween costume?
