like going on holiday with them, my dh gets on great with my dad and when they do for a drink they go together,and they both love fishing. we all love to go to majorca on holiday so we go together, and we have a ds nearly 2 and we get alot of babysitting help from them. me and my mum enjoy going to aquaaerobics so we go together.
but people in our village have been calling us odd.
just because we are really close.
i hope im this close to ds when he grows up.
are they just envious?
or is it because we live next door to them? them amount of times people of said oh i couldn't do that[ie live next door] in a snotty sniffy way

a K? what could that mean? i am genuinely fascinated.

lollipopmother · 13/03/2008 15:51

Aitch so what you're saying is you have to pay her? That's crap, I don't have money, I was hoping it to be more like a series of drinking tasks like Uni initiation type things!

Tnog · 13/03/2008 16:05

Eh?

Ahh

Oh dear, I do seem to attract drunken people who tell me they love me.

I was in a bar in Dublin once and bumped into an old toothless drunk who told me he loved me and tried to twirl me round.

I told him I loved him too and bought him a pint.

lollipopmother · 13/03/2008 16:09

That's proper love for you Tnog, battling through all the silly preconceived notions that tramps shouldn't have 'nice' girlfriends!

Tnog · 13/03/2008 16:13

True, Lollipop

I'm already taken though, otherwise perhaps we could have twirled a bit more.

uberalice · 13/03/2008 16:30

To be honest, I'd quite like for my inlaws to live closer, or even next door. They're only happy to help out with babysitting, but as they live a 2 hour car journey away, their availability is limited, and they have to stay over when they come. If they were next door, it would be easier for them and for us. You're really lucky.

Aitch · 13/03/2008 16:33

here you are teanogue

Tnog · 13/03/2008 16:35

lol OMG

Sorry I don't know any of them and yes, they were definitely drunk, especially that Lulu one.
