Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bugs bite ha ha

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two
prawns were swimming around in the sea, one called
Justin and the other called Christian.

The prawns were constantly being harassed and
threatened by sharks that inhabited the area. Finally
one day Justin said to Christian, “I'm fed up with
being a prawn; I wish I was a shark, and then I
wouldn't have any worries about being eaten.”

A large mysterious cod appeared and said, “Your wish
is granted.” Lo and behold, Justin turned into a
shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swam away,
afraid of being eaten by his old friend. Time passed
(as it invariably does) and Justin found life as a
shark boring and lonely. All his old friends simply
swam away whenever he came close to them. Justin
didn't realize that his new menacing appearance was
the cause of his sad plight. While swimming alone one
day he saw the mysterious cod again and he thought
perhaps the mysterious fish could change him back into
a prawn. He approached the cod and begged to be
changed back, and, lo and behold, he found himself
turned back into a prawn.

With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam
back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail.
Looking around the gathering at the reef he realized
he couldn't see his old pal. “Where's Christian?” he
asked. “He's at home, still distraught that his best
friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark,”
came the reply.

Eager to put things right again and end the mutual
pain and torture, He set off to Christian's abode. As
he opened the coral gate, memories came flooding back.
He banged on the door and shouted: “It's me, Justin
your old friend, come out and see me again.” Christian
replied, “No way man, you'll eat me. You're now shark,
the enemy, and I'll not be tricked into being your
dinner.” Justin cried back “No, I'm not. That was the
old me. I've changed.........I've found Cod. I'm a
Prawn again Christian

Nig popped in to see my mum today as he was only working round the corner. She was busy tending to Nan so he had a chat with sister and her partner. He says Nan isn't looking too good.

She took to her bed 2 weeks ago and hasn't moved since. The Occupational health team have now given her a Ripple mattress so she won't get bedsores, and a hospital bed - one that moves up and down so that it is easier for the careworkers - which means that there isn't anywhere to sit apart from one chair in the living room, makes it a bit difficult if we all go down to see her then.

kitchen is very tiny and there is no other room.

I fear mum may be getting depressed about all this, in fact I know she is struggling to look after Nan but she is not going to give in and consider putting Nan in a home, even for respite care.

Not sure what to do, hell there is nothing I can do Mum has to make the decision. All I can do is be here on the other end of the phone when it gets to much for her.

Oh great, Nig is watching Conan the Barbarian again for the millionth time

I was doing garden work last weekend and my wife was about to take a shower. I realised that I couldn't find the rake. I yelled up to my wife, "Where is the rake?"

She couldn't hear me and she shouted back, "What?" I pointed to my eye, then I pointed to my knee and made a raking motion.

Still my wife wasn't sure and said "What?"

I repeated the gestures. "Eye - Kneed - The Rake."

My wife replied that she understands and signals back. She first points to her eye, next she points to her left breast, then she points to her bum, and finally to her crotch.

Well, there is no way in hell I could even come close to that one.

Exasperated, I went upstairs and asked her, "What the hell was that?

She replies, (scroll down…)

1st woman: Hi! My name is Wanda
2nd woman: Hi! My name is Sylvia. How'd you die?
1st woman: I froze to death.
2nd woman: How horrible!
1st woman: It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm and sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?
2nd woman: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. Instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.
1st woman: So, what happened?
2nd woman: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and I finally became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack & died.
1st woman: Too bad you didn't look in the freezer. We'd both still be alive.

disappeared while my back was turned?

and why does this stupid thing keep logging me out all the time, it is driving me mad!!!!

blog.co.uk please sort it out, getting fed up having to keep signing in all the time to here and to my friends blogs!!!!!!

Simon had a dig to do today.

He turned up at summer school to find that most of his friends were doing some computing work and his teacher asked him if he would like to do a dig instead with another student, so he said yes.

After almost a days dig he has unearthed a few Roman coins and what looks like part of a leather sandal so he is well chuffed.

Then as he was retuning to base, he noticed that some old bikes were being dismantled and put into a skip, one of which had a lovely seat on which is very padded, so he brought the seat home.

It is now on his bike ready for me to ride, on the promise that when I get my own bike I can have the seat.

Bless him

So be warned

School trousers for eldest son (waist size 28ins, inside leg 32ins)x2
School trousers for youngest child x 2
School jumper for youngest child x2
underwear for eldest
underwear for youngest

Oh good now have school uniforms all I have to do is put their names inside that can be done later. Oh just remembered youngest needs a new school coat! Could do with a couple extra jumpers but have to order them from the school as they have the school badge on now, no more getting away with cheap grey jumpers from Asda!

Eldest is in last year of school, so only replacing trousers for now, they were difficult to get - thank heavens for Primark who actually do 28in waist trousers! he only has a 26ins waist and is nearly 6ft tall!!

Fortunately both children have white shirts that fit so don't have to worry about that too much.

Just shoes to get really and will leave that until I next get paid, anyway it is better no chance of them growing out of them before the start of school in September!

Tell me what do children do with their underwear? I know youngest can never find pants because they never end up in the wash, just under his bed until either myself or his father has a fit about it, but when sorting out the ironing basket the other day so that they could take anything that didn't need to be ironed straight upstairs, I came across pants for eldest child that had age 11-12 in them - he is 15 !!!! Asked him how he still got into them to be told that they still fit! - hence buying some today for him, can't send the lad out in pants that say 11-12 years, whatever would the hospital think if he got run over (as my mother would say)

So school shop just about over for another year. Feels strange having a child that is in his last year at school, I don't feel that old, I am still in my 20s in my head lol

It was lovely this morning as the alarm went off, knowing that i didn't have to go into work. Of course, hubby had to swear and spoil it because the traffic report told him that getting to the office was going to be a nightmare as part of the M25 had been closed off due to a lorry spreading its entire load of glass bottles across the road.

So after he sorted out an alternative route, made his adorable wife (my words not his) a cup of tea, he heads out with my road map to battle his way into work.

Kids are upstairs, one is supposed to be showering and getting ready to be dropped off at summer school, the other is just supposed to be getting washed and dressed, though I have a feeling this isn't happening hmm shall do the cruel mother act in a minute and disconnect his DVD as no doubt he will be watching one in his room - Madagascar I think by the sound of it!!

The sun is shining. Plans include having to pop to the shops, pay some more money into the account and go and get some food for the week, though I am a little loath to do this for reasons I documented yesterday. I will at some point sit in the garden and soak up the rays of the sunshine, under the now erected gazebo, and stitch I think, though I really think I should at least vacuum the living room first

It is on days like this I miss being by the sea, sitting in the garden is not the same

Have a good day

hugs xx
