No one even lived in mine before me

How many died building it though?

Officially none, but the bodies haven’t been found yet!

These all sit above the knee:

As do these:

The choice is yours 😉

I thought it referred to the changes in the bikes………

It does, as it shows two different DH race bikes, 20 years apart 🙄

I like the idea of hats, but feel really self concious and uncomfortable, despite liking how they look in anything other than a beanie!

Next time they are in the garden pee over the fence, when they say something just say that you never got your pee over the fence when it was 6″ 😈

How’s that black dog got white hands? 🙄

As far as I’m concerned spare time relaxing is spent entirely on running or bicycles.

I got the “you’re organising” response

In that case take ’em running followed by a nice bike ride, that way next time they’ll be a bit more helpful or won’t bother coming!

How about asking them what they fancy doing?

Thanks all, it’s reassuring to know that I’m not alone in feeling totally useless and not being comfortable in not being in control.

Anyway we’ve had a fairly good day today as Arthur’s had his NG tube (feeding tube up his nose) taken out today and is on purely sucking feeds (either breast or bottle), the nurses are just waiting for the ENT specialist to agree that they can take his monitor off and then he just needs to show that he’s putting weight on and is feeding well before being ready to come home (hopefully some time in a week or two).

Here are some pics I took while having a cuddle today (it’s lovely to see him without anything on his face [NG Tube, oxygen etc]):

Thanks luke & freeagent, my wife’s been discharged from the hospital (about 5 weeks ago) and so is driving to the hospital in the morning (it’s only 20 mins and she works there anyway) and spending all day there, I’m then going in to see them both in the evening before we both drive home for dinner. I’m making sure she’s got lunch, and sorting dinner, I’m also trying to stay on top of the housework and looking after the dog so she can concentrate on Arthur while she’s in hospital as she’s trying to establish breast feeding.

I know there’s not much I can do, but I’m still finding the sitting at home trying to work, while she’s in hospital and not being able to ask questions directly to the Dr’s etc harder than I’d ever of imagined.

He’s been moved/’downgraded’ to the Low Dependancy Nursery today so he’s a step closer to coming home 🙂

Keep the Mint Sauce

+1, but put the rest to good use and stop buying loo roll for a few months/years!!

Thanks all and congratulations murf 🙂

Membership is complete only after you post a pic.

Here’s the little monster then:

Ah balls, that was what I feared Sugdenr!

Although the Plumer/tilers etc have been great and will hopefully be finished by Tue so I can get the house sorted(ish) before they come home and the real fun/horror starts!

The staff at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford have all been really nice and are brilliant at making us feel at ease no matter how scary the situation (although we’ve been lucky as he’s healthy compared to some!).

+1 what phil.w said, about the wood burning stove and not the accuracy of MrSparkle’s song lyrics 🙄

Wife’s last day (before spending 13months off work with baby!)

It’s a close-run thing between a red tractor:

and a yellow combine harvester:

Here you go zippykona:

I think he needs to find a nice relaxing hobby instead, something like sniffing solvents might help!!

I just get pictures of me from Facebook, but then my name is fairly rare (a quick Facebook search just comes up with me and one other without a profile pic!).

Edit: and a map showing where 8 people with my name are in the states!

Thanks again CG, not only cheap, but very quick delivery too as I’ve got the map in front of me already 🙂

I usually use Where’s the Path for my map requirements, but do like a proper map so have ordered one of the local area, thanks.

Bicyclist?! 🙄

aim the water jet at the dog?

That doesn’t work as he just tries to play with it, but forgets to stop peeing so gets widdle everywhere!

HT2 = Hollowtech II

They should just pull all his teeth out!

What did the Police/Ambulance people say when you rang up to report it?

The first thing I asked was did he ring the Police, to which he said:

“I was driving and there were clearly other people on the phone to them outside a newsagents…I was going to offer him a plaster but he legged it.”

I almost feel bad at laughing, although your title did give me permission! If you cut the video a couple of seconds early he’s doing really well.

_tom_ I’m quite jealous of that skate park, it looks properly fun (where is it?).

It was a non-NCT class, and my wife is going to pregnant-yoga (I can’t remember what it’s actually called) and aqua-natal to meet other pregnant ladies in the area, but today was just so dull and made worse by the beautiful weather outside!

🙄

Yunki, I’m not trying to have a go at benefits claimants, I’m more trying to work out why the gov have set minimum wage at approx £230 ish per week, but then (reportedly/apparently) pay some individuals more than this, which suggests to me that minimum wage is set too low.

It’s not a troll, it’s a genuine (but possibly stupid question) which has been bugging me a little for a few days.

So what’s the difference between minimum wage and living wage?

Is Aluminum similar to Aluminium?

When I used to go we tended to park on Vicarage Road in Bagshot.

I’ve got one of these, which is really good for scaring off pigeons, cats and for shooting the wife with cold water while she’s having a hot shower!!

Great news, thanks for sharing it 🙂

I think it might be something to do with it being stolen, you need to hand yourself in now before things escalate and you try to steal the Crown Jewels of something!!
