What she broke it

It's my youngest son's birthday tomorrow, he'll be 4. I've just spent the last hour in a party bag production line. Mr Baldhead was no help whatsoever, he kept eating the sweets.

Don't like the sound of your burn CG, what does Mrs Gable think?

I'm ok now, dumette had some special burn dressings, hasn't even marked me.

Can I attend this party, I love buffets.

It seems this week is popular for birthdays.It was one of the lads birthdays in the bin last night (fri) so had a jug with him, and then another Birthday started after midnight so had another jug with him, still his birthday tonight

so maybe have another birthday drink with him. It's mine during the week so i can celebrate this weekend, mid week and next weekend (i love mid-week birthdays

), also next Sat it's one of the other lads 50th. Oh, happy times.

What have you asked for for your retirement present?

Just found the proper apostrophe key. ' ace, only taken a week.

Anyone else not really see the point in celebrating birthdays once you get past about 10? They're not really an achievement of anything, are they? Wedding anniversaries, yes. Leaving a workplace, yes. Passing exams or having a child, fine. Feels like you've not really done anything to deserve a celebration, a birthday.

I have never being a massive fan of my birthday, don't get me wrong I love the cards, presents and having a night out but my Hubby thinks birthdays are massive and it is your personal day etc..
Now it is my 25th wedding anniversary on the 27th Dec and we are going aborad with friends but because we wanted to spend xmas day with the family we decided to go for 10 days on the 28th, so for my actually anniversary day I am in Manchester airport! So in order to make it special I have suggested we stay in the Hilton, they presently have a deal, parking 3 course meal etc...Hubby's response 'well that travel lodge we stayed in last time was not bad'





I found out today looked at his e-mails he has booked it, (but I am still playing along like I do not know

)

20 years employment at my company is marked with a dinner and presentation which is a worthwhile celebration in this day and age.

I once had four es in a day.

I get like that if I eat corn on the cob...I love the stuff but have to avoid it unless I am staying in the next day!

No buffet I'm afraid, we had it at a soft play place so it was hot food. All the kids dressed as either Pirates or Princesses they looked really cute.
I'm sat watching the birthday boy play with an empty box rather then the present that came in it! Still as long as he's happy eh.
He was rather pleased with his big toes this morning, he swears they are bigger today now he is 4 then yesterday when he was only 3.

I've been to soft play once with my friends little girl\monster, absolutely stank of wee.
Great place to pick up milf's, if one is so inclined.

Kids parties at those hideous Wacky Warehouse places are the single worst aspect of having children. Not the screaming kids, or the fragrance combo of wee, sweaty feet and chip fat, no, that's the best of it. Even the machine "cappuccinos" are relatively appealing. The worst of it is the other mums. Your only currency with these halfwits is how many activities your kid participates in. The worst ones are those who arrive at swimming lessons with a daughter in ballet outfit having come straight from class and afterwards get changed into jodphurs for a riding lesson. Sod off. I purposely used to buy the weightiest Saturday or Sunday paper available and focus on avoiding conversation.

On the flip side, i would imagine that the other mums tried to sneak in quietly and take a seat out of eye-shot before the maths woman looked up from her paper.

Absolutely. A mutually beneficial arrangement, I'm sure

Thank God! I thought it was just me.

Unless there is a bar I refuse to attend. You're treated as a leper if you have a glass of red in front of you. That and a broadsheet usually does the trick.

I find it's best just not to procreate.

I must admit I like your style, I adopted a similiar one.

Big American car show at Fort Paull today, just seen the big Yanky Police Car go by, didn't turn into a decepticon so not sure if Bumblebee will be there, get yourself down, weathers nice.

Tea and cake in the Church, 2-4pm, £1.50.

Just saw a bottle of Bison vodka in duty free for "8", thoughut, fantastic, that's
about a quid! Then realised it was Euros, not Kunas.

Too much Black Sumbuca last night for me has resulted in a head that feels like its been used as a ball in a sunday pub team football match

Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens...

What are your favourite things? You can't put family or rugby league* things, as they would be off off topic.
