Just for a lark.

That doesn't surprise me, we had a car battery on the front drive and they asked if they could take it, dp said no but 10 mins later it was gone.

My sister had the whole neighbourhood round asking if they could take stuff out her skip when she was redoing the house, she only needed to skips in the end as so much was taken out, saved her a fortune

I've given so many old bikes to the scary 'any old iioiron' man with a sound track on his van at top volume I wouldn't blame him for taking our good bikes

Yes well we mustn't stereotype or this thread'll be doing the Dance of the Disappeared as well.

My dh mixed red wine with Childrens Benylin Cough & Cold and knocked himself out. I couldn't move him. In the end I dragged a mattress to the sofa and pushed him off on to the mattress, but misjudged the angles somewhat, and hit his head on the floor and his body on the sofa. Ensuring he was definitely unconscious.

We DO have a van who plays 'any old iron' and he takes anything really
I don't know where he comes from
Sounded Gloucester to me
I'm a bit snobby as I'm from Cheltenham you see

Moominsarescary · 22/12/2011 23:46

honey your nicer than me, I might have covered him with a quilt but that's about all

HoneydragonAteCliffRichard · 22/12/2011 23:46

We have a man with a bell ringing assistant.

DeePanCrisPandEeeven · 22/12/2011 23:48

Yay! A thread where it's not all angsty. Hurrah Xmas Grin

I have been doing the Christmas survey but I fret that I do not have a Tarquin and DS who has a much duller name cannot play the lute... although he does a mean tuneless bashing of his toddler xylophone.

HoneydragonAteCliffRichard · 22/12/2011 23:49

I'm not nice it was a small sofa he was hanging of both ends.

One minute he was sat up then he justt went

"eururuble snurrle blerp"

and passed out cold.

It's great that you think I'm nice for knocking out my already unconscious dh though Xmas Grin

Moominsarescary · 22/12/2011 23:53

Im sure You just wanted him to be comfy

Unless the mattress was miles away and you realy just wanted to flip him onto the floor

HoneydragonAteCliffRichard · 22/12/2011 23:56

I did warn him not to take children's medicine for a cold.

Moomin on retrospect I shouldn't have moved the mattress so close, that was the problem Grin

Moominsarescary · 22/12/2011 23:59

Whoops , does he remember

HoneydragonAteCliffRichard · 23/12/2011 00:06

No, he put the sore head down to wine and benylin Xmas Wink]

BlatherskitesInFairyLights · 23/12/2011 08:02

The children want to know why I'm snorting with laughter.

Thanks Honeydragon Grin

AHah....would anyone care to share in hot choc mulled wine.....

400gm golden sugar
200gm cocoa powder
2 cinnamosticks
5 star anise
500gm dark chocclate
2 satsumas halved
rosemary
red wine
500ml water

mix sugar cocoa and spices with water add satsumas.
simmer
add chocolate (cutted up )off heat. infuse 10 mins
add wine, warm gently.
You can add only half bottle of wine for thicker shot or ( radical this) less water.

Sounds like a plan to me. You can all add medications of your own choice. I might go for a cheeky shot of NN in mine.

They don't sell Baileys over here. Bastards. Or gammon. Fucking bastards.

Am going to have to make that homemade Baileys recipe tomorrow Sad

I think curacao is pronounced KOOR A SOW. Sow like the female pig.

I could be wrong though.
