Crepes of Froth

[MaybeBentley]

Bum! Just join a thread and lock it down! So I'll start the next one.

MrsS that first question is exactly the one ds asked that I refused to answer....

Frankly I've given up worrying about the furry bastards.

Go Crem....

MI, wasn't it Herbs who had the flea-catcher in?

I have 8 screechy 14yo girls scoffing sushi, pizza and cake in my kitchen. And one grumpy DS on the sofa!

What other threads under "Style and Beauty" would cover new jobs, fleas, masturbation and orange legs?

Saves us venturing out into the rest of MN MrsS!

So true!

Delighted there is this one size fits all thread. It's a jungle out there. Got into a cat fight over sun cream on another thread .
Yes I am a factor 50 zealot. Suck it up. Dd has to have a mole removed due to family history of melanoma.
( she's fine btw- just a precaution)
Rant over...

Shitting myself over this job now so mildly hysterical.

I like a bit of variety, I do.

My 100-year-old aunt has died. I last saw her sometime in the early or mid 1970s when she and my father (who would have turned 107 this year) had a massive falling-out and thereafter never saw each other again. Although they did bizarrely write each other letters every year for one another's birthdays. I feel I should send a card to my cousin (her daughter) but I am having a lot of trouble writing it. "Sorry for your loss, blah, blah, blah" is a waste of a stamp. Or is it? It's not a good time for honesty either. Damn, this blood-linky thing with people makes everything tricky.

Crem, you deserve that job. Go get it, missus.

ps: I am all factor 50'd up all year round. Still a mass of wrinkles and sunspots. And have had 3 lots of basal cell carcinomas removed (the first in my 20s).

It was indeed me with the fleas, MI. £120 later, they do seem much reduced.

Now have absolutely no voice at all. Controlling DS tomorrow going to be tricky.

Strops, I think under the circs a fairly neutral condolences card is the way forward. If further contact is then made, all well and good, but just letting cousin know she's being thought about is never a waste of a stamp.

Well, the birthday "sleep"over seems to be going OK - not too noisy, though I don't think they went to bed till 3ish and no sign of them yet! DS was very jealous and grumpy (he keeps saying he's under house-arrest as he has been grounded and phone confiscated. Saw his best mates mum and she has done the same, so IANBU!) and I am supposed to be taking him for a haircut at 9.30

I am a Factor 50/30 queen (after years of Factor 2 Hawaian Tropic in the 80's)

Oh dear, spoke too soon - DD's ex-bf and his mate have just turned up Seems DD invited them to come at 7am - at least they waited till 8

Oh BTM have they been up all night planning that .?

Oh BTM - 7 am you say. This time does not compute with my teenagers.

Schoooooool's Out for Summer..........!!

DH is working from home, so has just collected DD2; the big two have the traditional end-of-term pilgrimage to the town centre, where they hang around in gangs and annoy everyone.

More sodding painting to do in DS's room later, because the carpet arrives tomorrow, although both DS and DD1 got stuck in and helped wield the roller (an important life skill, surely?). DD1 ended up with a big circle on her arse after sitting on the paint pot lid by mistake.

Well done, BTM for sticking to your guns regarding DS. How long is his house arrest?

DD1 is busy zipping around seeing her Y6 mates and will come to the end of year pubfest at 3.30

Gosh CV - can't believe your lot have only just finished school.

My younger one still has 45 minutes to go!

Rubes- est-ce qu'il fait beau sur l'île de Ré?

Survived y6 leavers assembly without crying toooo much (mines in y5). Packed and off to the pub for tea,.....

Yes, I think they had been skyping in the night and 7am does not compute with my DC either, hence my at seeing the boys at the door!
Sounds like they've been having fun all day and are coming back soon to tidy up the mess they left here before going back to friends for a sleepover there

We had a good last day at work - went to the park for a picnic and game of rounders

All these children only just breaking up from school, and mine have been off for six weeks already! We have no gas and therefore no dinner and no hot water. I can predict that DH will say no to going out for dinner.
