What have you been doing today?

[Emme]

I've given up dropping hints, the only thing that works for me is to drop the credit card straigt into the shopkeepers hot sweaty little hand

Sometimes CP that is the only way to go

I was woken at 8.30 by the sound of my grandchildren's voices at the front of the house, my peace and quiet is now shattered for the rest of the day with both wanting me to do different things with them.  Hopefully, after I make the beds we can work as one and have no arguments today 

How lovely JD - I would love to be woken up by granchildren. DD (very career orientated) and SIL are enjoying where they are at right now.

Touché!
Forget the hints Mama....deaf ears are here too!

my day of cooking & cleaning dashed...have to pick out a new shirt & tie for Hubby   that's not the shopping I like to do!
 He has this big grand final eve function in Melbourne again, and he wants a warmer shirt when I have to pick him up from the station, in the wee hours of the morning  
I have a ghost tour to go to in Pt. Cook same night, so I'm not sure how I'm Going to work out picking him up, along with 2 other intoxicated men.....oh aren't I the lucky one! beer breath & bulls..t all the way home  


Yay for Robyn & Cookie 

Tie a rope round their waist and tow them home.

Well Council all day today, really glad thats over, great to have a few wins though.  Bit hard sometimes being the only woman.

[Amy :-)]

But you are an amazing woman Sue

[CreamPuff63]

You would be good on council SJ, I can see you getting a few win wins. Why is there only one woman begs the question?

I'm in London on full Nain duties as DD has gone off to have her hair cut and coloured

[SueJen]

Amy, you're wonderful  
CP, no others interested I guess.
Quite often you've got to let the guys believe they have come up with ideas, when you have been feeding them for weeks. As a woman sometimes, you have to be able to play the game. I really enjoy it.

[cookie1]

Good on you Sue. Did you vote for the big Chookie?

[SueJen]

big chookie, of course cookie

[CreamPuff63]

What big chookie are you talking about? I haven't been reading the newspaper...

Today the house was permanently a mess with all the gear the kids bought down to amuse themselves with (anyone would have thought they were coming for a week) but we got through the day without me having a nervous breakdown.  Lots of fights, lots of hugs and kisses between the 2 of them, lots of me telling them to stop arguing.  They made marshmallow muffins - by hand as the TMX was busy cooking the pickled pork, we went to a new playground at the beach and spent ages at the water's edge before calling in to see their great-Grandmother on the way home.  2 kids is so much harder than 1.
GD went home with both the wigs I'd bought for the retreat, this was the best of the two.
