I am at the bookshop. No customers in shop and all quiet. Suddenly a book falls off a top shelf. 
Name of book  FATE
So if something happens to me today  you will know I had a warning.

PMSL - best you look in the Ultimate Animals Thread - DT is delivering your new shop cat today - FATE!

WHAT!!!!!

I am too fat for my clothes to walk into my girls room - except when one of them has the self same t-shirt as me.

However I am hearing you on FM regarding socks DT.
The problem is compounded by idiot sock manufactorers, or should that be retailers, that persist in making/stocking womans socks up to size 8. All 3 of us are now size 9. Socks are availible in that size range but try and get 3 different colours in them is mission impossible. Worse still, since my favourite winter wool socks are mens ones Mr sp with his same size range but slightly bigger feet pinches mine as well!

Wanted - part wool socks in girly non pink designs in large size.

At this rate I will be knitting my own

I weara size 4 shoe - finding adult shoes and socks that fit tiny sizing is almost impossible - today I am wearing spiderman socks!!

You haven't seen my coca cola socks. They don't walk into the girls room like my cat ones.

I got a sore hand.
It twanked on Monday and was a little sore on Tuesday.
By Wednesday night it was sore enough to strap up and was pretty useless yesterday but last night it got so sore that I put an ice pack on it. It woke me early this morning so I guess it is off to the medical centre when the kids get up.

There is a lump near my wrist and my index finger hurts to move.

Ouch - I hope it comes right soon. Hate to say it, but you ned to see your GP methinks.

[ssweetpea]

Been and been x-rayed.
I sprained a ligament and there is a bit of calcifaction so I am straped up and in a sling.

The doctor also refered me to a physio to get a splint but I am wondering if the is really necessary.

Needless to say, I am typing one handed and the mouse is on the left.

I'm Back!!!   

But I'm about to bugger off again for the weekend....

[Magoo]

So you just called in long enough to make us all jealous.  Noice.

This time last week I was driving from Te Anau to Milford Sound during a high-rainfall event where an entire FOOT (12 inches) of rain was dumped in about 14 hours. I've never seen so much water pouring down the sides of the mountain faces before! The noise from the thousands of temporary waterfalls at Milford Sound was deafening throughout Friday night!! The following day (Saturday) was mostly fine weather, although with some clouds still hanging around the mountains, but everything was visible except for Mitre Peak which was hiding itself in cloud all day.

I popped out to get some bread from the local bread shop.  I wound up in a short queue at the checkout behind this blonde bint who I've seen around a lot.  She's one of those people who shove trolleys in the supermarket, and bull their way out of car parks instead of waiting politely as the rest of us do.  She's someone who always gets up my nose so I enjoy baiting her.  Like, while trying to push out of a car park, I'll stop in front of her and put the hand brake on to make her wait, while letting all the others, who are waiting patiently, out. 

Anyway, the server was a young Indian guy.  Nice looking, tidy and well spoken.  He told her that her purchase came to $12.70 and she paid in cash.  When she was give the change she demanded more.  He checked the change and said that she had the right change.  It sort of went down hill from there where she started in at him with "Your kind should speak more clearly".

WHAT!

I wasn't letting that go - I'd heard him just fine and I was further away. 

"His kind?  What the hell is 'His kind'?"  (Not letting her take a breath) "He's probably can trace more pedigree in him than your mongrel background blondie - in fact, that's a certainty.  I heard him just fine so maybe 'your kind' should pay more attention to what is said instead of sulking because you had to be served by someone who is better bred than you."  Then I turned to him and said "Ignore the Arian bitch - there isn't a law to stop trailer trash from breeding unfortunately".

I don't know if I shocked her or she just recognised me from our previous encounters, she stuck her nose in the air and walked out.   But she was beet red so I hit home. 

Ha!

[Shef]

Well done!!. Bet she doesn't shop there again - no loss to him though. I don't know why people have to be so pig-ignorant and rude.

[Magoo]

Bet you could have heard a pin drop in there.

I would have liked a larger audience - but I'll take what I can get.  It's not like he could defend himself without putting himself in a horrible position.

I've been waiting to use that for ages - my girlfriend is tiny, blonde, beautiful and cute as a button.   If she wasn't so blardy neat she would be everything I'm jealous of.  She took on a skin head in a pub with that spiel (or variations of that anyway) and I've been dying to use it lol.

[Brownie55]

I can just see you saying that   LOL   You go girl

This thread needs a slight kick up the bum to get the numbers up towards 1,000 messages!

Son has sprained his ankle.  Tripped over a girl in the corridor at school at morning interval yesterday.  Did he go to the school nurse and get it strapped? No!  Did he text/ ring me and ask for advice?  No! Did he get off the bus at the stop directly opposite our GP and go and get it strapped? No!  He went to rugby training, then sent whingy text messages to me (working in the city) to come and get him from 5.30 on.

Him and Jeremy Smith will be side-lined for their big games. 

[dragontamer]

And I still haven't figured out how he 'tripped over a girl'. 

[Lovelee]

Sprained ankles come right really quick when strapped with about 5 comfrey leaves which have been boiled in water for a few minutes - soak bandage in the water after boiling.  The ankle will be strong overnight.

If the girls down there sit leaning up against the corridor walls like they do here I can see how it happened especially if the corridors are as well lit (not) as they are at our local College.


I have been learning how to play with my new toy - my very first MP3 player!

Sp2 is jealous.

I spent Saturday night at a Toughlove fundraiser.  It was a cabaret and meal.  The meal was awesome, as it should be for $100 double ticket.

We met sp1's mentor last night.


Sp1 duly introduced her brother as Annoying.
