in noticing that other IPOAT Johnny husband incarnations are better than mine?

[Hullygully]

Huh.

LOL adult swing - bet you both had that image in your head the whole time

Is it weird that after seeing that pic, my only thought was 'why is she wearing blue lipstick?'

Lol at blue lipstick

Perhaps she is just chilly. She could do with a nice cardy...

I was thinking 'why has he no feet'? Some horrific adult-swing-related accident?

Get this swing. I covet it for DS when he is bigger. Holds up to 80kg. Or would that be way too child-like for Pagboy? Sorry Pagster, I haven't a clue, really.

Don't forget the pampas grass.

Actually I would love one of those - it is Captain themed. How apt!

Tis a good thought Umi. I think we will show the boy a few and let him choose. Have fab gardener man who will build us one of we get stuck.

Pagboy is sooo excited. Its his birthday soon and we have fantabulous day planned for him., He keeps giving me lists of things 'for its birthday' and

and DS1 had first driving lesson yesterday
Dcs need to stop growing ffs

Perhaps gardner man could build some sort of combo of blue-lipstick woman's swing and pirate swing just for you

don't think I haven't thought about it..

Oi Hully, how you doin?

Oh birthday sounds exciting! We just had DD1's - I love it when it's magical and you can just see them making wonderful memories

Pag - check out this site

So many lovely and fabulous things and maybe something like you are thinking of for Pagboy?

Giggling @ footless man and horrific adult-swing-related accident

Look you to the gentleman below. He was was examining your undercarriage.
The bounder!

I am ebbing and flowing and tooing and frowning and generally going round the bend and such.

Never Switch Internet Providers is my top tip to life.

I am also realising what a miserable git I have become.

Do you think when we are old(er) this will be [[

Why the frowning Hully dearest?

Because I am a horrible misery and I Just Can't Stand It another minute. I want to sell up and go to Polynesia. I want to sit emptyheaded on a white sand beach with a large coconut full of rum and be devoid of all duty and responsibility.

Oh that white sand beach and booze sounds good. When do we leave?

Now.

Oh darling don't be glum. Come to Pags house and I will entertain you with agility and tricks aplenty..

I should warn you I have a Glastonbury style mud pit all around and no bank account as we have been hacked. Bring a basket of fruit and some wellies.

Have you got coconuts and rum? And some icing sugar to sprinkle over the mud in lieu of white sand?

And hacked - quel horreur. Has it caused all sorts of difficulties?

I could do that. If not icing sugar maybe some cornflour or dandruff?

Nah . No major problems . Only because cheeky fuckers were too greedy. They did a withdrawal of £9,000 from our account then got really carried away and tried to change it to a monthly standing order. Stupid numpties.
Bank are dealing but we have to close whole account and start again [sigh]

Love the idea that you wouldn't notice the odd nine grand wandering off..oh darling, have you bought more shoes/ golf balls?

No, I shall have to sit it out here, being glum and gloomy and waiting for Godot. It's my Duty.

I am actually quite interested to grill DH about what his first thought were when he noticed we were about £9,000 short.....

Has the glumness rolled everyone away?
