For the little wheels turning bigger deals
For all the dreams that bloomed and those that died

We're card carrying lifelong members of
The Union of different kinds

Good morning.

I have just one question: what the hell is a poo crumb? Confused

Bettercallsaul1 · 23/08/2016 06:54

Morning all!
Being - You don't want it spelled out to you, believe me. Grin

Red - Best of luck with the two houses today. Your luck will change, honestly! If you don't get either, then I say possibly with some lack of originality "A curse on both your houses!"

Bettercallsaul1 · 23/08/2016 06:56

Sorry, that should have been to Blue! --still think of Ruby as red!

Bettercallsaul1 · 23/08/2016 06:57

Not that there was anyone on this thread called Ruby...

Bettercallsaul1 · 23/08/2016 06:58

I'll shut up now...!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 23/08/2016 07:02

It's alright Better, I RTFT so I know now. And I feel quite queazy. My DP is quite hairy but I can honestly say we have never had that issue. He would be in deep shit literally if he was that grim.

VanillaSugar · 23/08/2016 07:10

Morning!!

In my house,it's not exactly crumbs, but more like bits of biscuit. Loo roll. That's all I'm saying.

VanillaSugar · 23/08/2016 07:14

Shit. Shittedy shit. It's my wedding anniversary today. DH has got me my favourite champagne and lovely card. I got him a card that said "You're lazy and you snore" and inside I'd even written "And you leave bits of biscuit by the loo" - I feel bad now.

Bettercallsaul1 · 23/08/2016 07:40

Grin Vanilla Well, it would have been much worse if it had been the other way round! (In all senses Grin)

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 23/08/2016 07:49

Vanilla, DP is lucky if I have shaved my legs for our anniversary. Grin

VanillaSugar · 23/08/2016 07:54

He worked late last night so that he could leave early today to take me out for dinner. I haven't the heart to tell him I'm taking the kids on an Heducational trip to Stratford today so we'll be late home instead. Oooops.

I'll try and pick up something nice today upon Shakespearean proportions.

VanillaSugar · 23/08/2016 07:58

Better and Bing Grin

Oh,good news. DD went on The Student Room last night and asked about her second choice. She has loads of replies from people there saying how much they loved the place and how friendly it was - DD was beaming for the first time in a week! She should get her accommodation sorted in Friday Smile and wants to go shopping Grin this weekend to IKEA on Bank Holiday Monday ShockShockConfused

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 23/08/2016 08:02

this weekend to IKEA on Bank Holiday Monday

Grin - good luck. You'll need it.

Glad she's feeling better about it all now.

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 23/08/2016 08:04

better Grin

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 23/08/2016 08:06

Morning all.

Vanilla. That is excellent news, hope she is feeling much happier. And a relief for you, too!

Blue good luck, sweets (I completely missed the name change, oh dear - I did think it was a bit strange there were two identical ladies on here though). Blame it on insomnia....

jetSTAR · 23/08/2016 08:09

Great news Vanilla I feel a sense of relief 💖

VanillaSugar · 23/08/2016 08:16

Thank you Flowers Guess I should get up now, as I told everyone we were leaving at 8.30 today.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 23/08/2016 08:19

Vanilla, I'm glad your DD is happy now. Smile

IKEA was heaving yesterday and it wasn't a bank holiday. Good luck with that. 😂

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 23/08/2016 08:27

I wish we had an IKEA down here. Or do I?

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 23/08/2016 08:34

jess they are worth travelling for

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 23/08/2016 08:35

Toad I don't think you've been contributing enough memes recently. Tutt tutt Grin

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 23/08/2016 08:37

blue. I don't drive and furniture might be a bit heavy for the train. I need a van (with accompanying man, preferably)
