Thanks Never. Sorry about that! Blush

NeverEverAnythingEver · 28/10/2016 21:09

Shock Paddy!

Large vodka on the way...

paddypants13 · 28/10/2016 21:02

P.S. Someone please poor me a large vodka.

Sorry for barging in effing and jeffing. Just need to rant.

Oh I am so angry with men right now!

We have been looking at schools for dd (she will start in Sept 2017). We really like a particular school but have just found out the headmistress has resigned because some fucking low life arsehole sent a topless pic of her to the governors! Angry As far as I know she wasn't forced to resign, it seems she just couldn't face the shame of her colleagues seeing those pictures. I want to kill the bloke and I want to find her and just give her a massive hug and tell her she is worth a million times more than that scumbag.

To make it worse, the bloke who did is actually someone I briefly dated before I met dh. (He doesn't have any pics of me though, it didn't get that far.) I feel quite shaken and very, very angry.

Oh I do like that one. Thanks Never

NeverEverAnythingEver · 28/10/2016 20:48

There's this one. High but not too high.

MsMermaid · 28/10/2016 20:35

The high sleeper that dd1 had wasn't any higher than a top bunk. Dd2's room is so tiny that she is happy to trade being able to sit up in bed for being able to have space to play underneath it, which she wouldn't get with a mid sleeper. We'll look at the stompa ones to see what it looks like.

NeverEverAnythingEver · 28/10/2016 19:52

There were some nice mid and high sleepers at Dreams. Our problem is that with a high sleeper you can't actually sit up in bed without knocking your head on the ceiling... If you have high ceiling it could be just the thing. The Stompa ones look very good but we only saw the midsleeper Stompa at another shop the other day..

Fuckingitup · 28/10/2016 19:45

DS1 smacks his head getting into the bottom bunk most nights, poor love.

MsMermaid · 28/10/2016 19:12

Never are there any nice high sleepers? Dd2 wants one. Dh has said he's not building it after the debacle of trying to build the one dd1 had at that age, but I'm happy to build it so she's getting one if we can find one she likes.

NeverEverAnythingEver · 28/10/2016 18:57

Xeno We have just been to a Dreams shop to look at mid sleepers and high sleepers.

For some reason it was really entertaining. I don't really know what the DC were on ...

ErrolTheDragon · 28/10/2016 18:17

I didn't assemble the last lot of ikea we had, being in possession of a teenage DD.

Fuckingitup · 28/10/2016 17:58

Happy Friday Erin

Cheers fucking Wine

What has the plumber (not?) done, Xeno?

Xenophile · 28/10/2016 17:24

I need to find bunkbeds.

And kill the plumber.

Fuckingitup · 28/10/2016 17:10

Cheers Brew to your flatpack building.

I built some bunkbeds earlier this year. Great sense of satisfaction.

FreshwaterSelkie · 28/10/2016 17:00

It's the weekend! The bar is ooooooooooopen!

I am toasting my success in building a piece of Ikea furniture. A friend popped round while I was building it and said "Isn't that a blue job?".

I gave him this look Hmm

And said "It's a pink job in this house".

I luffs him really, but he is a grandmaster of benevolent sexism (and I let him away with it because he's like my surrogate dad here as my actual dad is in another country. I'm such a man hater).

NeverEverAnythingEver · 28/10/2016 13:40

Last working day of half-term. I'm so relieved that it's (nearly) over. It's all the ad hoc childcare ...

ErrolTheDragon · 27/10/2016 20:33

Ooh, ages since I had any Black Sheep. Or Old Peculier. T'other side of t'Pennines now.

ErrolTheDragon · 27/10/2016 20:31

There's a surprise. I suppose he (is it both of them gone now?) will trundle off elsewhere and whine about narky sexist feminists. Whereas in fact we're sexist-ists.

M0stlyHet · 27/10/2016 20:30

I'll have a pint of black sheep, and luxuriate in being able to enjoy the pub once more. (I was happily hiding threads with the trolls on, but really, really didn't want to have to hide the pub.)

Felascloak · 27/10/2016 19:56

Batman got banned. Shame.

MsMermaid · 27/10/2016 19:27

I feel like I'm winning on the scissors front :) I can lay my hands on at least 4 pairs within a minute because I bought a pack of 5 last week due to not being able to find any

NeverEverAnythingEver · 27/10/2016 15:23

Yes. Scissors. I bought DC 2 pairs of scissors and said HERE IS WHERE SCISSORS LIVE. And I hide my scissors (2 pairs) somewhere else. Now we are down to 2 pairs of scissors - guess whose they are?
