ah sparkly new thread.. i spotted this on my friends face book and had to share it:

WHY GOD MADE MOMS
Answers are given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?

  1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
  2. Mostly to clean the house.
  3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.


How did God make mothers?
  1. He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
  2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
  3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.


What ingredients are mothers made of ?
  1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
  2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.


Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
  1. We're related.
  2. God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's moms like me.


What kind of little girl was your mom?
  1. My Mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.
  2. I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
  3. They say she used to be nice.


What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
  1. His last name.
  2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?
  3. Does he make at least $800 a year? Did he say NO to drugs and YES to chores?


Why did your mom marry your dad?
  1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.
  2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
  3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on. Ha ha ha ha!!!


Who's the boss at your house?
  1. Mom doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
  2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
  3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.


What's the difference between moms & dads?
  1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
  2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
  3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's
  4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better without medicine.

What does your mom do in her spare time?
  1. Mothers don't do spare time.
  2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.


What would it take to make your mom perfect?
  1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.
  2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.


If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
  1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
  2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did t and not me.
  3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.


just thought it was funny!

clarks are shite anyway.

DP just gone to his glam do, I'm at home sweeping the floor and feeling only slightly depressed about my life/looks/weight.

No, I don't get to go to anything. Tis extremely unglamorous. It sounds all very grand, and it is exciting, but because I know how hard he works.

Luckily he is not one for poncing around with a ponytail and a beatnik media stylee.

I can't stand mothercare generally. They have no assistants on the shop floor for asking advice of, you can never get served at the tills cos they ignore you and carry on oicking their nails, their maternity bras are a fecking joke, the assistants in Leeds area bunch of miserable witches who never say please or thank you and they have repeatedly charged me twice for things whenever I shop there. I always make sure I check the receipt before I leave the shop now, as I'm fed up schlepping back across town to get a refund......

so we will all be watching it on the telly foxy and trying to work out which one he is if they win!

Pity you don't get to rub shoulders with the great and the good of the British TV establishment though.

Natty, if those nappies work for you, then get some and feel good knowing you are doing your bit!

natty, are there any independant shoe shops near you? they usually sell start-rite shoes or other independant shoes. Or there is usually a Start-Rite outlet place at the Freeport Shopping villages.

or you could just trust your judgement. When ASDA were looking at increasing their kiddies shoe range, 9 out of 10 mums were able to fit their kids with shoes that were just right in terms of width/length/support etc. We don't need Clarks with their silly machine that means they don't have to spend money training their 16 year old fitters properly.

Gawd, I'm on a role today.....who else can I slag off

Like the new thread
And PMSL at:
Why did your mom marry your dad?

  1. She got too old to do anything else with him.

That's me

Very grumpy baby here today, but I think I can feel a tooth coming through so hopefully it'll be out soon.

that's really interesting about mothercare and their charging policy! I wonder if it's just stupidity on the part of the assistants or a deliberate pricing policy.......methinks a call to Watchdog might be in order!

I've just struggled to force food down my neck again. So far today I've had, two GF muffins with raspberry jam, a mug of hot chocolate, some treacle toffee and a tiny spoonful of mashed potato and lamb casserole, most of which ended up in the bin. DD has eaten more than me today!

mhc, I'll FB you my address, thanks

hello all

I am ill - bronchitis. I feel like shit.
DS is ill - have spent most of morning in A&E as he has been all floppy and shaking and sweaty and had a temp of 39. They drugged him up which helped but still no-one knows what's wrong with him. He has been doing some massive voms though.
But he is very listless, like holding a rag doll - the only time he actually moves is if I try and put him down when we have the screaming abdabs.
He has been like it since Friday. Dh and I are very very very tired as DS refuses to sleep.
He was sent home from nursery with suspected chickenpox earlier in the week but was actually a chest infection.

This is the house of lurgy.
I have almost just about had all I can take
