Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey. :egg:

(Just learned that from another thread, but in my case it would be fakey bakey) So good to wake up even after a bad migraine and not be trying to cook a shakey, achey, fakey bakey.

Thanks for your lovely comments re my POD yesterday. You've probably guessed that the real problem isn't just the money, it's all tied in with being a solo mum and trying to give my kidlings the life I wanted them to have. We left their father because he was abusing us and they haven't seen him since 1996. It's important to me to give them what we would have if all that hadn't happened. Stupid, I know. :nutso:

Hope you're feeling better this morning Glassy Bum. Sometimes there's nowt else for it but to crack an early one.

Determined I was to have a sleepin this morning, but the relentless wild call of the Spring clean is incessant. Incessant I tells ya.

No it's not stupid.
I struggle with exactly the same thing. But you gave them what no bank can deliver. A safe and loving stable home. I can't even imagine all of the wealthy but violent homes with two dysfunctional parents who can't offer the kids that.

Thanks Bridgeybum I'd let you be my mum/dad any day! I bet you do a fanbloodytastic job.

Yes, you're absolutely right. Looking at my post objectively, I can see that I'm holding on to a stupid old feeling I should have ditched years ago. The Glasslets have never given me any reason to feel they're missing anything. They used to give me mum gifts on mother's day (perfume etc) and dad gifts on fathers' day (still have the tool set!).

I was feeling so bad about flying solo at the wedding I was going to invite one of my single male friends as a handbag, but the glasslets told me they'd be proud to have me there by myself, seeing as we've always done everything together. Gosh - just made me think! We started out on our own when they were 4 and 7 and now one is 27 and getting married!!!! :dancin:

Glassy that lat para brought a little tear to my eye - what a lovely thing for them to have said! So great for them to be as proud of you as you are of them :l

Thanks, lovely Miss B

Glasslet 2 also told me he's already planned to be my partner if we have to do any 'parent of the couple' dances.

PS - he may be nearly 30 years younger, but he's at least a foot taller. So that's ok!

Never thought of stuffing the teddies full of white powder.

yep, they've got very nice taste in furniture and fittings. Would look awfully out of place in my house but.

You are very lucky to have glasslets like them, and they, you. Cherish each other.

Vexing Veterinary Questions:

Dear Corrie,
New neighbours moved in next door this week.
They have a yappy little rat dog and an alsation.
They both bark incessantly. It is bloody annoying.
I will give them 3 more days to settle into their new accommodation.
If the barking (all day and up to 9pm) then continues what action should I take?
1: Introduce myself to the new neighbours with a marscapone berry tart and say welcome to the neighbourhood, by the way what is the problem with the cute little doggies? Can you train them to be quiet?

2: As above but minus the tart?

3: Entice the alsation to the fence and give him a bone laced with valium/morphine/cocaine?

4: Put up with it till I go nuts and contact the local council and complain? I think that is a bit too surreptitious though.

Sigh, it was a quiet neighbourhood till they, their kids, and their dogs moved in......


Your help would be most appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Your friend,

Glenoid.

Ms Smoth
I suggest that you introduce yourself to the neighbours and enquire about their cute little doggies.

No, no - it was my pleasure.

Please send your marscapone berry tart to PO Box XX Brisbane 4000.

EDIT: I have my own forks and spoons

Dear Glassy,
Thankyou.
I am cooling the pastry ready for the filling as I type.
Good, I'm running short on splades.
Yours faithfully Glenoid Smoth.



Dear Raggsy,
Thankyou for your most thoughtful suggestion.
I shall give it the consideration it is due.

Yours faithfully

Thanks Raggsy - I can't express how glad I am that this electronic conversation about white powder didn't happen a little while ago when Glasslet no 1 was traveling back and forth to Pakistan every couple of weeks. Finding out he was apprehended by the "police" (and I use the term loosely) one night was bad enough. He was accused of consorting with a prostitute [a fellow aid worker he was driving home] and was detained and threatened for about an hour. Being the sweetie he is, he didn't tell me until he got home. :badboy:

Probably just as well. I love him so much I may have strangled him!
