yes, and if their house caught fire, imagine the smell !!

Botbot · 25/02/2009 21:17

I was just about to ask if they spoke French...

The last time I went in my bath I had candles on and one fell over and started to burn up the wall and set the mirror on fire

Dh had just finished painting the bathroom. He was not a happy bunny.

moving to France but don't speak French ... okaaaayyy...

Evening all. Missed Kirstie & Phil - been at a school "teaching the parents to teach the children how to read" thing - any good??

Now a bit behind, because dh kindly paused Grand Designs for me.

Not too sure about this pair's wardrobe choices....agree that their crustiness might stop being endearing and just become plain irritating quite soon.

Many years ago, when Dniece was about 3, SIL was having a candle-lit bath. DN walked in, saw the candles, sang 'happy birthday' and blew all the candles out

LadyofWaffle - I'd worry if he starts shaving his legs and asking you to call him Betty.

It had fell over and was still alight and burning up the wall. The mirror started smouldering because it is made of plaster. Didn't actually go in flames though cos I threw some bath water on it.

Sorry, MtCaL - we still laugh about it now, 11 years later

Not only did they WANT free labour but they are getting it

HUrrah for them

Botbot · 25/02/2009 21:26

It looks and sounds (and probably smells) like the hideous crusty free festivals I used to reluctantly attend with my dreadlocked mates in the early nineties. I'm living in fear that the Levellers will appear in a minute.

This reminds me a bit of the episode with the guy in the wood - was he called Ben?
It's a simple idea so there is less to go wrong ... in theory!

Does anyone remember the one with the 'gull wing' roof that still wasn't finished when they did the re-visit programme about a year later??

AnyFucker · 25/02/2009 21:29
