What has happened to that dear little boy who was making breakfast and thumping on his parents bedroom door - its now missing from the advert and I thought he was so sweet!!!

[netibiza]

Morning all, lovely day here, warm but not too hot yet.
Simm. Will download Happy Vally now. May have to wear a burgundy flower as cannot find anything in the eau de nil ish grey colour anywhere., Maybe a beige to match shoes (which I haven't bought yet).

Big fiesta tomorrow, May 1st and then Mothers' Day on Sunday (huh some hope!)

[netibiza]

See I keep missing out sentences. Was watching Prey last night as I love John Simm.
Sister in law was nanny to Beatrice Van Palandt who is the Aga Khan's mistress, maybe we'll be invited to the wedding!!

hello all. We went out in thick fog this morning then came home and flaked out. More furniture moving today...I was lowering a wardrobe frame (canvas wardrobe) downstairs on a rope yesterday....I might have let the rope go slack and smashed it up a bit.....heigh ho.....

[netibiza]

Blooming heck woofy, you take care!

[woofgang]

Neti its the safest way to get things downstair on my own....dogs are shut away...I am above the item and the weight iof it is taken by a turn of rope around the bannister....its all fine....till it isn't lol.

[netibiza]

Trust me woofy I know and I do these things, It actually frightens me when I realise that I am on the highest rung of the swimming pool ladder in the bedroom balancing and reaching and dragging plastic bags full of clothes, shoes etc. I've only got to misplace a foot and I'm a gonna, but it's the only way to get these things done in this house.

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the
second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.


GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge...mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.


GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD
1) Growing up is mandatory; growing old is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're
down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking
chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers
to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.

[woofgang]

that's brilliant Neti.
Yup you just have to get on and do stuff sometimes. I have my precaution rules though. Things like making sure the dogs are out of the way first, I don't do ladders apart from the loft ladder, only a little two step thing. I always have my mobile phone in my pocket when i do exciting things so I can phone for the ambulance lol.

Ah Bob Hoskins has died aged 71, I liked him, RIP

The most dangerous thing in our house is the walking down the land to the gate on tiny stones, as they slide from under, I damaged an ankle years ago by wearing platforms and rushing to shut the gate and over I went, foot was blue for weeks, but I had had a drinkiepoo so it didn't hurt at the time.

Very good Neti .
It turned out lovely here so I had a toddle to the High Street and I still forgot to look for the name of that shop for you Woofy .I'll look next time .
I was too concerned about face cream and crochet hooks ..lol.
I used to pull and drag about .I was always moving the furniture around but these days I have enough to do with dragging myself from A to B.

I have been out into the wide world... bought a pair of specs from Specsavers for £25 (they are making them up, ready tomorrow), a box of matches, a nice £1 gel pen from Muji and sandwiches from Pret, but I forgot the lip salve.

That seems to be my day so far.

Kind of exciting if you hold your head at the right angle.

[netibiza]

Nope jno, sorry but I've tried every angle, no excitement!!

[jno]

sigh... that's what I feared.

[netibiza]

....but as long as you (almost) enjoyed it, then that's all that matters!

[netibiza]

just made pork (chicken for hija) satay, with fried noodles and onions and peppers, it really is delish!!

[woofgang]

OOO Muji and Pret...how totes posh..... That's more excitement than I have seen all year!
The highlight of my day was finding my manicure/pedicure stuff and so I now have got presentable feet again.
Was having steak but it got too late so I made a huge bacon sarnie instead. Steak tomorrow.

[shaneystar2]

The highlight of my day tomorrow will be the Spectator crossword and waiting for British Gas to come and service the boiler anytime between 8.30 and midday so I have to drag myself out of bed at sparrows just in case they turn up early .
Caught up with Happy Valley ..it's very good ,great cast.
Goodnight all.
