Heather - "It means a big disaster Mummy!"
Mummy - "You mean like a 'catastrophe'?"
Heather - "Yeah like that... a ducktastroppy."

Baby Season...
Just a quick note to wish my mate Vicki and her husband Scott and daughter Ella many many congratulations on the birth of their son (and brother for Ella!!) Harry Thomas who was born at 5am this morning and weighed 7lbs and 12 oz.
Harry is the first of 3 babies we're 'expecting' at the moment and he's a little early as he was due on the 31st but Mum and baby are doing well and Auntie Jen can't wait to visit!! I feel a spot of shopping coming on...lol
Next up is Catie who's son is due in late September and then Jessica who's baby girl is due in early October...
Ooohhh!!! I'm soooooooooooooo excited... I LOVE baby season and the best thing about it is that none of them are mine!!!! They can all be handed back when stinky!!! YAY!
Anyway, congrats to Vic and fam and good luck to everyone else!

Ring..ring.. why dont you give me a call??
Only don't bother... cos I wont answer.
see this ----->
that's my phone... see how shiny and pretty it is? Yeah yeah well we all know that mine's not that shiny and clean but thats not the point, look closely.. see how the handset is portable!! It's amazing...a modern miracle of sorts!! You carry the handset around the house whilst you're speaking to your friend and then when you're done you PUT IT BACK IN THE CRADLE!!!!!
As you can probably gather, this does not happen at my house... it's not a hard thing to do.. its only a few teeny steps to where the phone goes back to its lil space... I'm not asking for much am I?
The phone often doesn't make it back to where it belongs, this is fine as I always put it back at night before I go to bed.. I would do it more regularly than that but there is little point for as soon as I put it away someone has got it back out again to use and then chucked it on the table or sofa. This is fine too.. until I come to use it and the battery is flat... (thank God for Orange and mobiles with free talk time minutes otherwise Rich would never be able to phone his taxi for work!) yes... thats mildly infuriating and usually results in me slamming the phone back into phone socket/cradle thingy (what are they called?!?!?) and huffing n puffing for a while.
Now though we have a new dilemma... see said lovely shiny almost as clean as above picture phone is lost somewhere in the abyss also known as "the living room" and I cannot find it.
I know I had it before the weekend..but I do not remember seeing it since...
As infuriating as I am finding this the kids love it. Everytime the phone rings they sit and giggle as Mummy (or Daddy) tear the room apart to find the handset in the time it takes to ring before it clicks over to the answerphone.. yes they find it hilarious, I am beginning to tire of it...
I wonder where it is though... or when it will turn up.. I am beginning to suspect that the children are having so much fun with this that they've already found it and hidden it again somewhere else to continue the game... I'll bloody kill them if they have...lol

Jennie 1 point..
Skip Scavengers nil points!!!
So this morning the broken microwave is missing from my skip and not only that but we put the metal frames for 2 old ikea chairs in there too (we'd even taken them apart and lost some screws etc) and had forgotten to put the chair covers in the skip (they were in the conservatory..oops) and the buggers have nicked the frames too... completely useless.. cant sit down on em without the covers.. take anything they will.
So this morning in the skip there was some bits of old wood, a cardboard box and some broken toys... thats it, now dont get me wrong.. I dont mind anyone helping themselves to anything that's useful but do you have to rifle through and leave all the other shit you don't want all over my driveway?? No you dont, you can pick it all up and put it back in the skip instead of leaving it for me to do it...I've already chucked it in the skip once, I dont really feel like getting up and coming downstairs to a front garden full of crap.. but this seems to be too much trouble for some people and so I devised me a cunning plan...
Mum and John came down to help... some bags of old tat - that I'd kept in the house for fear that my old pants or worse...Richards (eek!!) might end up strewn across the street (can you believe I paid for a skip to get rid of the rubbish which I then kept inside?? it's ridiculous!!) - went in (including seat covers for old ikea chairs HAHA), the broken old door etc..
and theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen we emptied a load of garden rubbish over everything, worms, woodlice, garden snails, spiders and the lot.
HA! go rifle through my skip now if you dare...
enjoy.
mwahahahaha I'm totally going to hell...

gypsies, tramps n thieves...
I paid for a man to put a skip on my driveway yesterday.
Then I made Richard fill it with crap I don't require anymore...
I woke up this morning and the thing is virtually piggin empty...so that was a waste of money, I should have just filled the garden with my junk and a big sign saying "Free to good home.." although knowig my luck someone wold have taken a kid or my garden wall or something..lol
It always amazes me how people will take anything as long as its in the skip. There was a tv in that skip... perfectly fine, works great, we'd just bought a better one... I tried for WEEKS to get rid of this tv to a good home and no one wanted it. Stick it in a skip outside the house and every tramp for miles and miles walked past my house yesterday.... is it an inner 'bag lady' radar type thing? "Oooh Skip...quick what can I take out of that?"... eventually someone knocked on the door to see if they could have it and then asked me if I could have a look around for the remote!!! He was sweet though, so I did and I found it too... winner, he has a nice new toshiba tv in his lil pad now.
The last time we had a skip we filled it with broken old toys and some old furniture, broken lamp or two... some bags of old clothes that weren't even suitable for the charity shop and every morning I'd get up and come outside to find people had been rifling through it in the middle of the night and there'd be broken toys on the driveway etc... it was quite scary really to think that someone was hanging around in the dark outside my house stealing my trash...
Anyway..there's any empty skip at my house... anyone have anything they want to get rid of?? Come and dump it... it'll be gone by tea time. lol

who?
I am confused.
I have this little clock counter on this here blog... and it tells me that there have been 503 visits which is 24 more than the day before yesterday when there was only 479 visits been "clocked".
Yet here I sit... still confoozled... for there are no comments on my posts (except a few from a certain other 'blogger' I know ;) Hi Lou!) and no one I know admits to being a closet reader.. well, except Richard anyhoo (Hi Rich!) and Nicola (who I think should write her own blog cos she's easily as equally puddled as me..lol Hi Nick!!!) but even adding all those in that only 3.
So I figure you all liked it sooooooooo much that you come here many times a day cos you either a) are waiting for new posts, b) are bored, c) need to remind yourself that no matter what else happens in your life you can always come here are laugh at poor me...lol or d) all of the above..
Well anyway, this one's for all of you...whoever you may be..dont be shy!! Say Hello! LOL
except Richard... this one's for you babe...
Sorry..LOL couldnt resist. ;) xx
