the boring thead, class not an issue

[Blandmum]

I need to cut my lawn. Do you think I'll need to do it again before the winter?

[Blandmum]

God, MI, the hours must just fly by!

DD is miffed weith me because we can never get personalised pencils for her as her name isn't popular enough

[Tamum]

MI, given that he brought back a pillowcase under the impression it was his shirt I think it is entirely possible he would lose his trousers, yes. Genius idea about getting him to do it though.

With things in the cabinets MI? I have a beautifully organised and photogenic cabinet here if you need some inspiration on cabinet dressage.

[slowreader]

Elenya, I have ordered a box of those pencils for my little boy in Africa.

[Tamum]

Slubber, have you done an Excel spreadsheet of the contents of your bathroom cabinet? I feel you should, really.

[Slubberdegullion]

Or should that be cabinet staging?

[hifi]

just emptied all my dd potties, all 3 ,phew.

[ChippyMinton]

i was just sorting through my 'party' box, and have found two flexible pencils, one pink and one purple. So bendy they can be tied in a knot [awe]

cabinet staging at slubberdemaurice

[Slubberdegullion]

hmmm, an excel spreadsheet eh. With that I could use the data for a pie chart. I could do a presentation to the family at breakfast, I would need a sharp (personalised) pencil to highlight the important facts.

In this house shelf A contains 50% calpol, 30% neurofen, 10% piriton and 10% the dregs of a bottle of tixylicks.

Good for you, slowreader - maybe he will keep his pencils for 28 years too.

MB you can order these in any name, you know - I am a bit of an expert in such things.

I am wondering if an Excel spreadsheet for Slubber's cabinet is a bit interesting?

[motherinferior]

Slubber, with pictures and auditing.

(It wasn't my idea but I bet it sells, in far greater numbers than the piece I commissioned on how to survive Christmas with your mental and physical health intact.)

[Tamum]

Oh yes, I like the idea of the breakfast time presentation to the family. Excellent idea that we would all do well to emulate.

[ChippyMinton]

if you have a common popular name you can buy personalised pencils (and erasers too) in tesco.

[Tamum]

Oh yes, I spotted them too Chippy. Quite bright colours.

[ElenyaTuesday]

I am feeling quite deflated now - my pencil no longer feels so special......

[slowreader]

My ds has a pencil shaped like a treble clef

[Slubberdegullion]

I'm not that excited by my presentation so far. I don't even have a working pencil. I don't think my family cares about the subject. I don't think 2 and 3 year olds can fully grasp the concept of the pie chart. The printer has run out of colour..I know I could do different shades of grey.....







Does MB play lawn bowls then?

MI, what magazine...is it Good House Keeping? I would become your MN passion stalker if you worked at Good House Keeping.

[Tamum]

I feel that for the purposes of this thread MI should work at GH really. Sorry about your presentation Slubber, but I think you should just go ahead- they may only be 2 and 3 but they have to get to grips with Powerpoint at some stage.

[slowreader]

Brackets would also work.

[slowreader]

Sorry, was talking to FF re. ,s.

[Tamum]

It took me ages to work that out slowreader, I was on the verge of pointing out that brackets might hold a shelf but would not be as safe for medicines.
