Reminds of a friend when we were teens. She got a part-time job in a salon. A call came from a customer asking about the price of blow dry. My friend set the phone down and shouted out how much is a blow job 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣that’s hilarious xx

Absolutely amazing news, not just any house but a new one with a garden and 3 bedrooms. I’m so pleased for you and your children.
Just having your own front door, your own bedroom,your own kitchen, to make all the lovely meals you use to and to have it all just before Christmas. You deserve to be proud and happy.
Hopefully your health will improve, by not having all the stress you have gone through!
🌸😘

Thank you so much @Nottogetapenny , I’m feeling so excited. I cannot wait to see it and to start making it into a home . And I’m going to have neighbours who aren’t MIL’s. I’m going to cherish it so much and appreciate every day. Thank you for your lovely kind words xx

Hi @ChoccieCornflake , how are you today?Ive spent a few hours doing admin stuff for house and making phone calls and I had a little nap as couldn’t keep my eyes open .
Lol 😂I know and I’m not sure why but everything my youngest made at school it had grains of rice stuck to it! I was forever picking them up off the floor. Worst thing was when we went to the school Christmas fair you could buy more of the decorations that had been made and my youngest always wanted more 😩xx

It was lentils when I was a kid - I don't know if that was common or if I just had a particularly lentily upbringing! Mind you, I don't recall eating lentils - probably because they got stuck on "art" work instead!

😂😂😂😂I forgot about lentils . I don’t think I’ve ever cooked with lentils before I’ve had lentil soup but that’s about it xx

Kind of you to ask. I don’t feel terrific, although have lovely hair! Having tea, going to have a shower and an early night. Cancelled social plans for tomorrow as I have to do four hours work. I work from home though xxx

@Apolloneuro sorry to hear you are still feeling rough, hopefully you feel better soon but keep an eye on it in case it moves to your kidneys

@Imbluedalale how are you doing? Have you told your kids the good news yet?? Xx

Hi @Munchyseeds2 how are you? I’m ok thank you. Yes I’ve told my children they are all pleased. My daughter has been sending me picture ideas for her bedroom and my youngest said he waits a football bedroom. Even my eldest said he’s happy that I’m going to have a home xx

Evening @Imbluedalale ! Lovely positive reactions from all your children. That’s truly wonderful.

And well done for getting your big girl pants on to call the council. I was howling at the “Hello, it’s Laura from The Ritz..” comment 😂😂😂 I hope they were nice to you.

This really is such a caring, heartwarming thread - which reminds me hope you are feeling better soon @Apolloneuro

Munchyseeds2 · 06/11/2024 20:45

Football themed should be doable and not cost an arm and leg!

When my daughter was a similar age she liked barbie pink and mauve....you can imagine ( hurt my eyes!) 😂

Evening @Ruralretreating hows your day been? Good I hope.
Yes I was excited to tell them and they seemed pleased. Oh ex certainly knows now he’s already trying to put obstacles in my way, he has told youngest to tell me he doesn’t want him getting on a bus to go to school as it’s other side of Doncaster but my youngest has been getting the bus to school for 3 years now but apparently he knows that the bus youngest will be on from my house isn’t safe?
That comment was hilarious 😆 wasn’t it , the man I spoke to was nice . He must have been a new starter xx

Well we can start with beds and bedding and then go from there , I want to get the children’s bedrooms done first so they can feel settled.
😂😂😂😂that’s so funny, my daughter said she wants all beige and neutral colours, I may need to remind he about her make up and fake tan lol 😂 xx

Anyone watching 'lucan' on BBC2 ?
Might be good

Munchyseeds2 · 06/11/2024 21:08

Don't talk to me about fake tan and make up!!
My daughter ruined her new bedroom carpet a few years ago
Wish we had put down laminate

Munchyseeds2 · 06/11/2024 21:10

Bless her...she thought it would just wash/hoover out
I don't think so!😂

Munchyseeds2 · 06/11/2024 22:04

Lucan was good, might watch the 2nd ep on Iplayer tomorrow

Good morning to all! Really the glad the kids are looking forward to their new home. If that's the best your ex can do, I don't think it will cause too much worry as you have The Spoon Brigade behind you! Bless him for trying 🤣🤣 have a great Thursday. X

That's great Laura, I bet she misses you so much. Even at that age when we can't stand our parents, she will be feeling your loss in the home. I hope you get a good breakfast into you so you can squeeze her tight today. 🤗

I’ve noticed she’s ringing me a lot more lately which I’m pleased about. She’s really into her fashion and she was debating for over 15 mins last night what to wear for college today 😂if only my worries were that small. I’m just having a cup of tea , daughters coming at 12 and she said she wants a kfc, I don’t normally have lunch so I’ll skip breakfast and do that instead xx
