mystery shopper sounds fun. do you think they have them in small insignificant places? do you have a link ta?

i'm with you on that foxy. dhs are insignificant (not to mention irritating and idle just now...)

gawd it is so windy here and our collection of empty wine bottles is rattling round the yard

riabutterflew · 10/09/2007 13:00

feck. dh has decided he is poorly...

Ria, you will NEVER guess who I dreamt about last night.....
Only your old friend JC!!!!! I would like to stress though it WAS NOT one of those dreams. In fact it was very boring, rather like the guy himself. Still, I blame your bad influence

trendaverter · 10/09/2007 13:15

Will post mystery shopping details on June Mummies group in facebook in a mo, have to attend grizzly baby first!

(you can be anywhere in the UK BTW )

riabutterflew · 10/09/2007 13:41

lol sputnik. i would much rather be having those dreams again than the ones i'm having

riabutterflew · 10/09/2007 13:51

In my next life I am coming back as a man, because -

I will not be automatically expected to change nappies.

If my DW mentions something more than once I will be able to tell her to stop nagging, but I will be able to go on and on about my need to have sex every waking moment.

If I feel slightly ill I will be able to go to bed.

I will always be able to watch exactly what I want on TV, despite the preferences of my DW & DCS.

I will be unable to multitask.

I will be able to sleep through breastfeeding.

I will not have to attend to sick children in the night because I won't knoiw where the ckean sheets live.

I will never have to put away the shopping because I don't know where anything goes.

I will be able to leave any washing up I don't fancy doing because it is difficult to "soak".

It will be ok if I stall the car, and I will be able to find fault with DWs driving.

When at home my day will be - wake up, ignore children, lay in bed while DW rushes round organising dcs for school and tidies manically, harrass DW for sex. Get up, have bath, have to lie down, get dressed, make cup of tea, have breakfast, go to loo, make coffee, drink coffee, think about starting jobs (obviously starting with least urgent). Bugger time for school pick up and lunch. Have lunch and repeat.

I will never have to do anything after tea expect watch TV.

please add to this list I am v pissed off so will be adding throughout the day I expect. Sorry

riabutterflew · 10/09/2007 13:53

oops, got a bit carried away!

daisyandbabybootoo · 10/09/2007 13:58

LOL Ria

Holly, DH is interested in the buggy .....but I won't tell you what I had to promise in order to change his mind

Charlie999 · 10/09/2007 14:08

LOL Ria ....is he being an arse today?

Thinking of what I can add to that list....you've pretty much covered it I have to say

Like the driving one!

trendaverter · 10/09/2007 14:16

at last!
5 mins to myself!

annobal · 10/09/2007 14:21

LOL Ria. I think the only one I can add is:

  • insist on driving even though he does not drive and doesn't know how to
trendaverter · 10/09/2007 14:22

links posted.

Well sadly I am bidding farewell to life at home

DS starts nursery...and I start work... on the 24th September

Charlie999 · 10/09/2007 14:25

Aww TA - I feel for you as RL is beginning to get in the way here as well.....

He'll be fine....did you find a nice nursery?....the one DD is going to is fab - we're really happy with it.

What are you going to be doing?

annobal · 10/09/2007 14:28

Grrrr DS2 just pissed in a box full of toys - ON PURPOSE

daisyandbabybootoo · 10/09/2007 14:30

I've got one for your list Ria..

I will insist on being in charge whenever we have a BBQ (only men make fire after all) but I will be incapable of emptying out the ash, putting the barbecue away or washing the grilles. I also reserve the right to complain when it is rusty next time I go to use it and to ask DW to clean the grilles because I'm busy making fire.

Aw TA....that sucks hon , but you are very brave for doing it.

2 baskets of laundry sorted....only another three to go!!

annobal · 10/09/2007 14:32

TA - do you have to work full time? What are you doing?

riabutterflew · 10/09/2007 14:34

will you be working fulltime ta?

thought of another -

*take the baby out for walks because pretty women like to look in prams (often involving leaning over...)

*want to come back in my next life as a girl because obviously dw does nothing b ut mnetting!

i am not ready to let this drop yet!

why don't tasty men admire babies?

riabutterflew · 10/09/2007 14:36

lol daisy.

yuk anobal. were they plastic toys or cloth?

trendaverter · 10/09/2007 14:37

I have meetings with 3 nurseries but only 1 has availability, so he might have to go somewhere poo and go on the waiting list for a good one. Sadly.

I feel quite sad but needs must... we want a better place, and DH can't do it on his own. I am hoping it's only temporary.

I am a Senior Software Consultant for NMQA. My first post will be at BSkyB - where I was before I got PG.

daisyandbabybootoo · 10/09/2007 14:47

TA, have you considered a childminder until you can get him into the decent nursery? or a full time childminder?

Having been down the nursery route and then used a childminder for after school, I think I'll be inclined to use my childminder for DD as well when I go back to work...if she has availability that is!

OP posts:
sputnik · 10/09/2007 14:51

TA that's a bummer, I thought you wwere going with the dogsitting?

For the list, clearly we should add:
I will be able to pee in highly inappropriate places at the drop of a hat

trendaverter · 10/09/2007 14:53

Daisy I will look into that - I have previously avoided childminders as my SIL is one and I think her methods are questionable to say the least.

She gives her 8 year old bacardi breezers!!! Also too much coca cola and frozen pizza. But I will look around!
