Mrs you really will regret that...I seem to remember fluffy saying something about apricots and the adequate supply of andrex...Shock
tomorrow could be...self isolating for a whole different reason but it still tasted bloody good

WreckTangled · 29/03/2020 19:31

Shock just seen someone with a v similar username to me Angry how very dare they Grin

Not much to say today. DH is pissing me off. Dd is being horrible. Ds brushed my hair and took pictures. We've been playing board games (I saw it first: jungle. It is brilliant for those with dc a similar age to mine and up).

Boot have a supply of ;rouleau de papier toilette;, enough to see me through the next couple of weeks at least Hmm. I wish l had bought more of the reduced SNOWMAN ;rouleau de papier toilette; just after Christmas when it was on offer Hmm that will teach me Grin
Wreck l saw it with my own eyes , how very dare she , she has stuck a 95 on the end of hers tut tut! Grin
Your hair looks gorgeous, well done to Ds taking the pictures Smile

NoWordForFluffy · 29/03/2020 19:58

Ooh. Apricot? How much? Time for an internal evacuation, I feel! 😱 💩

I did another 2.5 hours at the allotment today. The kids scooted with me and played for about an hour, but the wind was freezing, so they got a bit chilly. DH came to fetch them for lunchtime.

I got a bit more digging done, but it's tough going really. Never mind. I'll do what I can and get ground-covering plants in this year. Next year I should be able to clear it a bit better, assuming we're still allowed out by then!

Mrsmadevans · 29/03/2020 20:02

Makes mental note not to have anything to do with apricots any time soon Grin
Well done Fluffy l bet the Dc really enjoyed their morning with you bless them Smile

WreckTangled · 29/03/2020 20:06

There's a farm shop nearby (well 20 mins away) giving veg boxes away to NHS staff. I might go and get one. They're doing a drive through service so that would be safe wouldn't it? I haven't been out in over a week and wasn't planning to go anywhere but this would really come in handy.

pussycatinboots · 29/03/2020 20:08

wreck not really envious, honest Angry , but until the mad bitch ndn cut mine, t'was longer...SadSad...'tis now landfill
it'll grow, eventually, and "stupidcow-scissorhands" will NEVER be allowed near it again Wink or i will have to "patio" her Wink
DH has said he's going to go back to the 70s, with long hair - maybe even a mullet Shock Grin

fluffy i will let you know Wink but one thing is for sure - it was blumin luvly Grin expect an update at about 3am, everything shit in my life happens then

WreckTangled · 29/03/2020 20:11

Ah boots it'll be in lovely condition when it grows back Smile

May I just point out that is 100% all natural colour Grin

pussycatinboots · 29/03/2020 20:27

NOOOO
That really isn't fair! That's a stealth boast and i'm calling you out Grin

Not stab Wreck, obvs Blush although I'd kill for hair like that (mine about 10yrs ago)

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/03/2020 20:40

Gorgeous hair Wreck Xmas Envy < envy
I am growing some grey at the moment but I do have two boxes of Semi P dye . ( I use Superdrug , so cannot pick up a box in the supermarket . Superdrug are doing Order+Collect which I don't feel like doing)

I didn't buy enough The Snowman loo roll and I was wondering (of I had spare stashed in the attic) if I'd use it now ? Would I be desperate enough to raid the Christmas Loo roll?

Mercifully we had a load of Costco loo roll and managed to get some last shop.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/03/2020 20:44

I am trying to persuade my DS (20) to let me cut his hair with clippers .
But my hands stink of tuna fish right now ( just fed the cats and decided tonight they can have a treat) .
So DS is reprieved (for now)

He has gone to the same barbers since he had his first baby haircut . H used to watch DH even before then to get him used to things .
They've got his Hair Cutting Records (like Sheldon Cooper) but DS has the sort of hair that takes advantage and goes feral Grin

pussycatinboots · 29/03/2020 20:55

70 I don't have clippers to cut DH hair, but i've seen "all creatures great and small/grunt and smell" and "countryfile" so how hard can it be???? GrinWink
Surely all we have to do is get our victim recipient in some form of head lock and just go nuts with the scissors...i'm saving some fake baileys for when i do it for me, obvs

PJMasksGhekko · 29/03/2020 21:14

Someone wants some fuss tonight Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 29/03/2020 21:24

I always clipper DH's hair and DD let me do her fringe last night. She had gone full Dulux dog, so actually cooperated!

My hair is going grey from underneath. I don't dye it and I'm glad now!

DD's hair has tones like yours, Wreck. It's gorgeous (as is yours)!

OP posts:
PJMasksGhekko · 29/03/2020 21:33

DD1 has very thick hair, yet DD2 has really thin hair, I'm the one with thick hair and it desperately needs doing!!

Dad has had a message tonight to say about working from home, thank god, 1 parent less to worry about, Mum still has to go in, although she had today off as it's her birthday!!

pussycatinboots · 29/03/2020 21:34

70 how can you wipe your bum on The Snowman? Shock

Mrsmadevans · 29/03/2020 21:37

70 you need this Grin

Christmas countdown 2020: Lockdown edition (thread 4)
Mrsmadevans · 29/03/2020 21:40

I would! Grin

Mrsmadevans · 29/03/2020 21:42

PJ she's adorable Smile

NoWordForFluffy · 29/03/2020 21:42

It's not Christmas until you've wiped your arse on the Snowman! 😂

OP posts:
70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/03/2020 21:53

The Snowman knows its his calling , nay his duty to be bum wiped .
It's the SnowDog I feel sorry for , he didn't sign up for this Xmas Grin

Luckily my DS doesn't have straight glossy hair otherwise he'd look like Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber !

He did say though that no-one would marry him if I cut his hair (not that I'm trying to get my 20yo married off you understand Xmas Grin )

Gets roll of ScotchTape out the cupboard .
