Mmm .... I want some ..... NOW :^O
Lol, I'm sooooo embarrassed ... just had a visit from BIL/SIL (our "rich" relations ... lol, he's a retired area district bank manager & lives in a HUGE house & never has a thing out of place :|) they live 20mile away so don't visit much .... well there was nowhere to sit because the settee was full of presents I'm trying to wrap, dusty boxes of decs from the loft all over the floor, stuff pliled up from MIL's house that we haven't found a home for yet ....the house looks like a jumble sale :8} there faces were a picture, now they've gone though ....... I don't know what to start on first :_|
Where's Merlin when you need her :^O

Well they just had a lesson in what a 'real' home is like.:-D

Most homes don't look like show homes 😉
Ours looks lived in - even when I've tidied up!
I like that look 🙂
22-12-2010 3:16 PM
no bodys home should look like a show home
mine certainly doesnt
how can you wrap christmas presents & put up a tree without making some mess??
i faff around all day, but its stupid things that annoy me, but thats a failing on my part
if someone visits me, and i am mid doing something, they get asked to put the kettle on, i'll be with you in a minute
pffft at dropping everything and sitting like dummies for visitors!

This was supposed to be on the wall 2 christmasses ago.. we no longer live in the house with the big bare wall it was intended for.. so its stuck behind the table.. I can see all the faults but my son loves it! excuse the stuff on the table.. our place is lived in too!
22-12-2010 4:05 PM
It looks great Chez.:-D Not surprised that your son loves it.
22-12-2010 4:07 PM
Come on Mum, it's not that cold out!
22-12-2010 4:08 PM
i think a clean tidy home is a home with a broken computer
22-12-2010 4:09 PM
Come on Mum, it's not that cold out!
22-12-2010 4:28 PM
She had a little walk to the Co-op & back.:-)
22-12-2010 5:03 PM
Come on Mum, it's not that cold out!
she is clearly saying, I am going NOWEHERE until i am wearing my matching manolo blahniks & bag!
22-12-2010 5:15 PM
Nah - she's just letting Santa know she's been good this year and is hoping for a doggie stocking full of treats 😉
Apparently I am immature & infantile!!
The reason??
I was looking for the christmas mats and I found some rocket balloons and set one off in the front room where the boys are concerntrating on nintendo games!!
Evil mummy ]:)

Waiting for the veg to boil & I glanced at my Co-op receipt. They had charged me for 3 bottles of wine I didn't buy! I rang the shop & they seemed to be aware this had happened to someone as she said they had done a price check & not voided it! I now have to go back tomorrow to get it refunded. Yes I know I should have noticed by the total but I was feeling a bit harassed at the time & didn't notice.
22-12-2010 5:58 PM
I think they should give you the wine and your money back...
22-12-2010 6:00 PM
I will suggest that tomorrow!

I could hear you lot chatting away this afternoon, well, I could hear my computer blinging every time an email came in, and I just knew it would be you lot.:^O The shopping arrived at 12.50 but it took me until 4pm to sort it and put mine away. The substitutions weren't too bad, the strangest one being tinned custard instead of tinned rice, but they must be so rushed down there and it doesn't matter anyway. Daughter wasn't so happy with her expensive cheesecake that she got for Christmas, it was eat by today, so hubby rang and got a refund.
That was a lovely wall hanging (but I can't remember who's it was now). I've never had a coat for Lottie but she never goes for walks anyway. She gets covered in her blankets at night though, with just her nose out. She can somehow manage to cover herself up with them if she feels a little chilly before I do it before I go to bed.:-D

just shared a bag of choc peanuts 🙂
got them in BHS while i was waiting to pay
they have lots of half price mas stuff
got some xmas cards 60% off too lol
22-12-2010 11:05 PM
I like BHS. My nearest is 45 minutes away though.
I hope the TV improves over the next few days. Pretty poor tonight. All the Terry Pratchet stuff they have on over Xmas was on last year wasn't it?

I always have loads of stuff recorded, so when there's nothing on I have something to watch. I like quiz programmes. Nothing too heavy, weakest link, pointless, eggheads things like that rather than university challenge.:-D I never watch films or dramas, they take too much concentration.
22-12-2010 11:17 PM
I like a good film or drama. Fussy about comedy shows.
