Hello Starty....you must be starting to feel better now.

I'm still busy wrapping up the workshop reports from the last 4 weeks.
Its raining here...soft summer rain...not the thunderstorm kind.....excellent weather for writing reports
We are an hour behind you...so up and at 'em!

Since when does the Army week start of a Sunday ?:rant:
I am easily confused so this is just cruel....

[IamMary]

Morning all.
What did you do to your poor kids molly:happy2:

Mr m put up loads of new shelves, so I might spend the morning moving things. V sad that I'm excited about this.

[IamMary]

Ha.. Not Book shelves for a change, just stuff shelves. Under the stairs will be an organised paradise by lunchtime. I may have my lunch in there.

Mr S can't drive a nail into the wall.
He sits in sitting room with one light in the corner. Too lazy to change the bulbs - and I am not doing it this time.
GREAT in the garden but a disaster with the house DIY

[IamMary]

Good one Molly. The rules are the rules under your roof.. Even the big ones need boundaries.

Can he cook Satz??

[satz123]

aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrggghhh!!! my kids --- where do I start?? Herself wants to do 'her own washing' and 'cook her own food' -- because 'she feels useless around here' ---- she's here all the time and we go out to work -- so I'm s'posed to leave the machine empty all weekend till she decides to put in HER washing (DO ALL THE WASHING IF YOU FEEL USELESS GIRL) --- and then eats all the mashed potato that I made on the double for the next day despite 'no no --- I won't have anything' ---- now she's in a huff cos I gave out...
d'other fella --- I insisted that he hand up money --- every Friday -- not whatever day suits him -- nothing was forthcoming Friday so I set Joe on him yesterday --- so he's embarrassed now which manifests itself as a sulk...................... FFS

Oh I can relate to all that - it's so hard for 4 adults to live in a house - the lines are smudged because of the parent /child relationship that you wouldn't have in house-share normally. You are Mam & Dad when it suits.
Oh get them out to feck Molls....... :haha:

Can he cook Satz??

no - but he can clean

[satz123]

I was pulling the curtains at 7.30 this morning in the sitting room & noticed even after 2 years it still
thrills me to :

* be first up
* remember everything from Saturday night
* and not feel shite. :yay:

[IamMary]

no - but he can clean

There you go, I can only dream about a husband who knows what a mop is for, or a hanger or an oven. Practically built this house, but theres a domestic line hes unable to cross.

[IamMary]

Im glad that feeling doesnt go away. I was afraid it would wear off. Especially that moment of confusion between sleep and awake when I try to figure out how hungover Im going to be.

Priceless Mary - and I never take it for granted.
I PROUD of my achievement and if I'm honest delighted to be different from the pack.
We are speshul
