The Shape of Crepes to Come

[hattymattie]

Here we are crepeys - Friday 13th!

Congrats beachy And at your kitchen being finished!

Re Latin, mine wouldn't even remotely consider it (can do it as a second language from Y7) despite DH's attempts at persuasion

Morning All.
Hope today brings better things to the work troubled. Good point re sexism... do you think that's a part of your shabby treatment Mrs S?

Beachy I don't think I've properly said that I cant koin you in a tent on Saturday after showing great enthusiasm for the idea... hope you have a great time and glad Stropps will be representing the Crepey contingent! I on the other hand will be staggering back from Leeds Uni Open Day...

Tenby cottage booked. Mainly because of promise of being thinnest person on beach.

PTA fair driving me mad. Total lack of communication, no-one to email or call about anything, general fuckwittery. This shall be my last involvement for some time.

I just LOVE Stropps and the bin. I have a very amusing image in my head. We had a Brabantia bin, and it's mega strong - you really must have been very very cross indeed.

I too have painless migraines, with an aura of light moving from the centre to the edge of my vision. Freaked me out good and proper the first time - I even took myself off to Moorfields in a taxi!

I have been eyeing our bin with a look of 'come on and have a go if you think you're hard enough'...

Don't talk about Latin, which has precipitated minor irritation in the Inferiority Complex. DP just rang me about the Latin trip (to Pompeii) and more specifically the meeting about it that he's agreed to go to at DD1's school, at the magnificently convenient time of 4.30 on Friday. I would usually go as I work closer by, but DD2 will have returned knackered and filthy from her own school trip and I can't really leave her home alone and don't think DD1 will be back (and in any case the girls have TWO PARENTS, dammit).

DP has realised a potential meeting clash. So he rings me to ask me how important I think this one at school will be). How the hell am I supposed to know? Probably not very, but also quite useful, is my guess. But do I have insider info on it? That would be a no.

Beachy, do you get time off for good behaviour? That's loooooooooong (as DD1 would say).

I would bet the farm that a bloke who'd come back from Abroad and worked at your level wouldn't be asked to do filing and room-booking.

Hmm

Love it!

I love it that we're all finding Stropp's Bin massacre so cheering. In my head, Stropp's you're pulverising it wearing your head torch. I have a small chunk out of the plaster in my office that I have pretended I know not the provenance of (furious throwing of something. Possibly work related but can't remember). Threw cup of (cold but I didn't 'know' that) tea at naked DH in the fairly early days

Rose how did you get on with 50 shades? Her submissiveness made me so furious I threw it across the room (am reminded by mentioning above) Hope no such fate befell your Kindle.

Thanks for thoughts on DD. Had good chat with her. She had a general fear of 'calories' like they're all bad. She's become much taller and more womanly in the last few months and now periods too. We discussed all manner of things about food and choices. I like what you said BTM about trust me with the food I give you, you won't get overweight (although last night's was cococnutty and paneery so she might have) Think it's all nipped in bud in any case.

Mrs S your situation is such nonsense. Sympathies.

BD lick wounds. Kick arse. Love it.

We've got that very Brabantia. One of dd1's friends saw it and said 'Sick bin.' which was a great compliment.

We've got it too.

I once had to deal with a particularly irritating press call many years ago when I was the press officer for one of the leading peace movement organisations, and ended up throwing an entire packet of biscuits at the wall. Which led to much crumbage.

DD1 still hasn't started her periods yet.

We have a Brabantia, but not that one. It is 12 years old, and still going strong, but a new one would look lovely in the new kitchen when it's done....

WAF, glad to hear that re DD.

MI, how old is she? Friend's DD didn't start till she was well over 14. Is she very slim?

I don't think I have ever thrown anything at DH. I tend to shout at him instead! I remember my DM throwing a glass at me and it smashing on the door as I shut it. I was She was probably menopausal at the time!

I have yet to throw anything at DP, other than dirty looks, but I feel it can't be long now.

Talking of (ir)rational anger, I have taken against our opposite neighbour. Every morning, at exactly the same time, he comes out, starts the engine of his car, then squeegees any moisture, however scant, from all its windows. If there's no moisture, he pours water on them, then squeegees. Then he sits in his car waiting for his daughters to take them to school. It makes me want to rush out and cover his car in sand, or similar.

I feel sorry for his wife - imagine what it's like living with him.

Maybe they have filthy squeegee-related perversions?

She's 13, BTM. And yes, slim though not a total waif. A lot sturdier than she used to be. Nicely so, I mean.

I wouldn't worry yet - 13 is still really young. She will have plenty of years of blood to cope with Sounds like she is a normal size and shape. Has anything else developed yet? DD had boobies (and hair I think) before she started.

Oh yes. She is very well-equipped with C-cup bosoms and hair.

Am really working, so just skimmed but Stropps - as BTM said, respect. We have that bin too. Can we start a bin-trashing competition for enraged crepeys? Like those cheese throwing ones they have in Yorkshire (or somewhere? Lovin' it, thank you.

Stropps! That is fab.....

Ds went through the 'I am fat' stage, he has no realised he is not (for now anyway)

I don't think I have ever thrown anything at dp, but have lobbed the odd cup.

Here words have been had, but I am still deciding whether to go the official route.

I regret getting rid of our Brabantia now. We've got flimsy Ikea plastic ones in a pull-out cupboard. They wouldn't last 30 seconds during a tantrum. I almost want to have a massive row now, so I can destroy something.

MI, it may be soon then!

It sounds like it's the crepey bin (like the crepey skirt!) I neeeed one!

BD, well done on the having words!

Gosh - much posting this morning. Commiserations to all having work problems. I can't bear all the pettiness and egotism of office politics. Agree with MI that I'm sure a bloke wouldn't have been given the filing Mrs S.

Stropps - at bin flattening but respect for hen coop construction.

Auriga - It was me that friended you on FB if you are a thistle.

CV - yes I have braces so happy to answer questions. Pain usually diminishes two or three days after tightening.

Very tired as I keep falling asleep then waking at about 4.30 am - just in case I don't wake up in time to take DD to school for her exams. Will be so glad when we've moved through this twilight zone existence we're living at the moment.

at a cartoon image of Strops having a, well, strop, and pounding up and down on the top of her Brabantia while steam pours from both ears.

It must have been very therapeutic.

Exactly CV

In my mind, she is in mid-air, splayed knees to chest, fists clenched - with steam from ears, and head-torch glowing furiously.

Hattie, are we FB friends? I am two little girls and a cat in Crete.
