“Almost perfect”
– wow, today I got a phishing email that contained no spelling mistakes or grammatical errors.
There should be a law
about being ill when you’re not at work…

Groovy!
Today's conversations at work:
Posting Chinese food in the internal mail
Trading donkeys for chocolate
Being reincarnated as earwax
Knitting a beehive (the hair-do, not a house for bees)
Somehow it all makes less sense once I write it down…
“Muzzy… where are yooooo”
– somehow despite having 24 muslins Sprog has run out of clean ones to hug.

Swapsies
Today I have swapped with Sprog:
A pair of nail clippers covered in drool for a mobile phone
A pebble from a plant pot for a Farleys rusk
Housewife 'would be paid £30,000' →
Thanks BBC for this gem of news…

I know this is wrong… but I just don’t care. If this is too harsh then try this instead: kittenwar.com
Theft!
Sprog has a dummy… ok, I know there are people who have strong views on dummies, but frankly I have strong views on crying babies who want dummies. Anyway, most sensible parents are now weaning their little fellows off the darned things, we however are too scared. Relevance? Well, it means the little chap is now a target for dummy theft… strangely even babies who don’t have...
Stupid car... again
My car: 4 years old
His car: 9 years old
My car: Permaflat front tyre
His car: Fully inflated
My car: Has computer inside
His car: Has big engine
My car: Slowly breaking down
His car: Chugging happily on
Why did I get this car? Because nice tiny reliable Smart car was not sensible enough. Argh.

Books
When you have a sprog you get given this book by the NHS called something like “Birth to Five” which is supposed to give you some instructions about various sprog situations. But it’s only about half an inch thick… surely there must be more that we need to know?!!? Actually it has been useful so far, but still… how about a few extra bits:
Chapter 8: Tantrums,...
Me: Oh nooo... he's got a red mark on his head
Sprog: (big round sad eyes)
Husband: It's tomato sauce
Me: Oh...
Ashes to Ashes
was surprisingly good actually… I’d forgotten how much red there was in the ’80s.
“Thanks Sprog”
– for giving me your horrible cold

which is coming up soon… quite an interesting idea, shame there seems to be zero publicity for it just yet…
You have to wonder
about the wisdom of buying biodegradable nappies, only to put them in a plastic nappy sack and then eventually into a bin liner. If only I wasn’t so lazy that I couldn’t be bothered to use washable nappies…
Ha ha, mumsnet again... →
funny… I’d also like people to give me stuff free. Actually, maybe not having just been ‘given’ a trojan… curses.
