to ask you what the funniest/most random thing to have happened to you this week is?

[BalloonTwister]

Because it's Friday, I've got a glass of wine and I need a bloody good laugh

Oooh, good thinking Isis, you reckon it might have been tawrags chicken then?

Today I ended up following 21 month DD round a shop as she escaped from a changing room we were in. We were not trying on clothes but rather I was breastfeeding 4 week DS so had some funny looks as he was in one arm (not discretely in a sling or anything) as I wandered around. Today was a frazzled day but that made me smirk inside

Can I ask, were there chickens in any of these scenarios?

Wasn't even drunk. It was a kind of long, low water feature in the centre of the restaurant. I was trying to follow the waiter to our table without knocking into anyone, the tables were all really close to the edge of this thing. I just missed my footing, tried to rectify, overcompensated and flapped gracefully into 6 inches of water. Worst of all, I was having dinner with a colleague who witnessed the whole thing. I am so fucking clumsy.

I was told I look like Super nanny aka Jo Frost!

team edward i'm loving yours!

My 4 year old DD announced today that she is going to be Attila the Hun. Well, actually she said Attila the Hunt but I got her drift.

Last week she told me she was going to eat the law because it stopped her from doing what she wanted to do.

And two days ago I caught her, after lights out, putting extra layers of clothes on to her and her wooden dog, Sizzles, as she was apparently going to go out on the roof to build a robot.

I am torn between laughing, a lot, and getting all of the parenting books there are out of the library. Tyrant Taming anyone? The Spirited Anarchist?

DD's 2 and 3 were very quiet while I was reading DS his bedtime story. They are usually bickering at that time of night.
Then they appeared in our bedroom looking like a couple of Michelin men. For some reason they had decided to put on all their pants and vests; DD2 had 15 pairs of knickers on and 17 vests!!!
Their limbs were going a bit blue and they needed assistance to get them off but I wasn't much help, because for some reason I became hysterical with laughter at the sight of them staggering around trying to bend their arms enough to get their pants off themselves.
DD1 arriving in our room to witness the spectacle, and adopting a suitably snotty attitude to their antics didn't help!

Isis, if you don't mind me saying, I'm growing slightly concerned by your new found chicken enthusiast status. :)

Bod, sorry for your embarassment, and thank you for making me laugh :)

Frownie..do you though? :)

Edward. Funny and chicken related! Extra house points for you!

Southernandcross - how strange, when I caught DD prepping for her night time roof jaunt she had three pairs of pants on and the dog had two. Must be the weather...

8 year old ds (is an only) in a tender moment says to me...
"mum how many children did you want?"

A wee tear apears in my eyes, i had 6th mc in July...ds knows NOTHING about this btw.

My answer.."erm, i would have liked 2 or 3 children darling"
Ds "hmmm, well its a good thing you only had me, becuase otherwise, you would have had to pay triple school dinner money, and that is a very lot".

So now if any one asks, from now on,i will say that we only had the one becasue of the price of school dinners.

I'm a huge fan of chickens in general and loved Chicken Run.

One day I will have my own to snuggle and allow to roam at will though the house.

Also today, the underwire from one side of my bra stuck out...up in the air, like it was trying to recieve radio 1, so i pulled it out.
This was at work, so all day ive had one stray boob down by my waist band, and the other all pert and where a boob should be anatomically.
twas off putting to me.

ok, this is my oddest thing this week

i was walking along the corridor at work when out of nowhere (it seemed) a brochure type thing floated down at my feet. I bent down to pick it up and it was a large photograph of a field of poppies with memorial crosses. I looked round, there was no one else about, no tables or whatever where it could have fallen off, just completely random.

Cue strange music!!!

It's happened again, I've killed the thread!!

Sorry.

DH lifted bathroom carpet tonight in spare room (urggh) and underneath were layers of old local newspaper from 1993, the year in which we were married. Unbelievably, we are pictured in the wedding pages of one!

Isis.Nonsense my lovely. You are paranoid. I've been in the bath. With more wine. Slightly pissed now....either that or my keyboards playing up! :o

@ ferret I'm helplessly in tears laughing

Well I think I can admit to a little paranoia at present.
The wing mirror on my van was kicked off an hour ago, arsewipe 'yoofs' running amok.

Well it's insured so that will sort it, that or a new one from ebay.
The problem is that it's the driver's side so the van is unusable till it's fixed.

The whole fecking thing is hanging by a thread, it's enormous too.

Sorry but I feel an Ooooh Missus coming on as I read that back!
