PlumBumMum · 19/03/2009 11:37

No another slattern yesterday wanted a kick up the bum, I seem to be the one around when these requests come along

I promise I am not at all violent

Glad your back FAQ, as I tried to invite some more slatterns over and I was rebuffed
So I'll leave it up to in future as your so good at it

KingCanuteIAm · 19/03/2009 11:41

Plumbum, they were possibly just denying their own slattern nature

Right, Backside suitably booted I am off to face teh challenge of theday

JustKeepSwimming · 19/03/2009 11:53

hi all - not to worry was only me being dappy...
i'm so stupid!

JustKeepSwimming · 19/03/2009 11:54

Oi King - you know you can't take your cat to tip don't you

KingCanuteIAm · 19/03/2009 11:55

I am not so sure about that JKS - how about if I wrap it up tight in the ruined sofa cushions? I am sure no-one would notice would they?

PlumBumMum · 19/03/2009 11:57

O thats ok I too thought it was a troll saying something nasty about our slattern ways, as long as your ok

I know I namechange for the 24 thread but have only done it a couple of times as I really can't be bothered and I'm quite attached to my plumbum (actually its quite attached to me)

JustKeepSwimming · 19/03/2009 11:58

Fail to spell 'done' correctly *done

PlumBum - I know you were officially rebuffed on that 'list of things to do today' but didn't wastingmyeducation come over here from there the next day?

Or am I getting people confused?
