I hate everyone today.  I'm in one of those moods.  Can't wait til bedtime

Ooooh I have days like that, and people certainly know about it.

I've just been booked for a babysitting job for a baby that isn't even born yet.

 

Now that's forward planning  

If you work it out tell me

I've just eaten persimmon for the first time. It went well with blueberry and pomegranate. The morrisons chuckout came up trumps again.

He is due this week. 

They're delicious aren't they, I had one for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

I've just dusted, polished, and hoovered! That's my news.

My neighbour has a spare key if you're bored and looking for more to do 

Alas no, I now have to write a few letters. Meanwhile I can hear mrs Jer from her upstairs office using unsavoury language in a commentary taking place between chasing up several debts.

Ahhhh my favourite part of my monthly routines.  I especially look forward to the irate phone calls I receive after sending out intended court proceedings notices.  

It almost always concerns one particular area , but I'm not going to bang on about teachers, their unusual administration, can you contact x, and we've lost the invoice, obfuscation, because I normally get jumped on.

My favourite of 'we haven't got invoice number XXXX' (usually an expensive one) is that they got that invoice in a run of numbers, but have paid the others either side. 

 

Our biggest ball ache are local authorities.

I've made Spanish tortillas for my men folk tonight, even though I hate the smell of omelettes cooking, and the boy ran off to pour ketchup on it 

 

And even worse, I know totally stink of vegetable oil.

I've all of a sudden come out in hives. I need an anti histamine 

oooh those buggers can be awful!

I'm watching Home & Away and I must say I like watching a soap where the men are topless quite a lot.

I've been shopping on the Matches website and now the ad (top right on the forum) is the same.  I have t'internet power!!!111111111!

Yep, I take them for hay fever in  the summer, but I'm needing them more and more throughout the year I've noticed lately  

Oh!  Late night local chemist?

Tis ok, I've got some spare in my bag but I need to put another script into the docs 

Ah, ok - at least you're sorted for now

What does he prescribe you?  I only ask because if your pay for your prescriptions it's sometimes cheaper to buy them over the counter.  I had to do an emergency run for anti histamines over Christmas and it cost me £3.50 for a box.

ION all of my Easter chocolate moulds turned up today.  I have the following moulds:

 

1 x large egg

1 x large bunny

1 x medium lamb

1 x medium duckling

1 x assorted small easter items (eggs, bunnies, ducks, flowers etc)

1 x small sitting rabbits

1 x Happy Easter plaque

 

I can't wait to start my Easter creations.

Oh they sound fun! How long does melted/remolded/painted chocolate last?

No idea Jen, I was just going to melt cadburys or galaxy.

Ah! You'll need a Bain Marie! :smug:

Fabulous, you cannot knock a bit of Wuthering Heights   Thank you Jeremy Vine.

 

*continues with the squawking*

Thanks for the Talking Heads like!

I really want one of these for in my kitchen.  (The lantern not the Church doors)

 

Awww crap.  The youngest had an accident at school and because they had no trousers to fit him (not sure how....he's P3, surely they have trousers for all years?) they put him in trousers half way up his leg and sent him back into class until I came.  He was so upset because the class had laughed at him.  The teacher said she didn't understand how it happened but he told her it was because he had his hand up but she didn't see him.  Now he doesn't want to go to school because he's mortified, it's never happened to him before and he knows everyone is going to be teasing him tomorrow

Aww Ells, I really feel for him.

If he were older I'd tell him to laugh along with the others when they tease him - they'll soon stop when they realise it isn't annoying him. I'd also tell him to make jokes about the state of the trousers the school made him wear, rather than dwelling on the accident he had.

But he's only young and I know it will seem like such a big deal to him atm. Give him a big hug and tell him they'll soon be laughing at something which someone else has done.

That's exactly what I've been saying to him Yogi, I've told him to make light of it and joke about how the teacher didn't see him but he's not playing along.  His older brother is being very good about it, he's just told him it happened to a girl in his class in P6 and said they all laughed at her and made fun of it next day but that it was forgotten about after that and that would happen to him too if he just doesn't make a big fuss and takes it on the chin.  The little one is calling his brother rude for laughing at the wee girl

 

God I hated school.....I hate it even more now that I'm not there but know what all the kids have in front of them lol.

Poor thing, but I agree with Yogi.

Can't remember the name Cinds but I don't pay for my prescriptions

That's how i am Ells, school was horrible most of the time for me.

 

Hope he's over it all by Thursday/Friday. My kids school used to put the most awful clothes on the kids in nursery whenever they had accident or any kind. I actually started donating clothes asmine grew out of them as a result!

My son is 6 but he wears an age 9 trousers so you can imagine how small the ones they put on him were (they were age 6).  They didn't even meet the top of the socks (which they left on him soaking wet even though he has severe eczema on his feet and I have given spare socks to his teachers at the start of every term) and wouldn't button or even zip up! 

 

This is the first time he's ever even wet himself  just a nightmare that it happened in front of other kids.
