Like the time I tried to put my foot in my welly boot (or gummies I suppose I should say on here), and couldn't get it right in. Picked the boot up and shook it and out dropped a dead field mouse:eek: It had obviously run in there to get away from one of our cats who must have caught it and brought it in to the porch, and then died in there :( (I always chose to believe that it died from the shock of being played with by the cat, not from the smell of my boot:rofl:)

Or the night the brook outside our house was flooding and I went out with the brolly to have a look...as I opened the brolly over my head a dead mouse fell on me...yeuk!!

So line up the Friday afternoon drinks as I am chilling out and celebrating my boys achievements.:thumbsup:

Nice one boys.:thumbsup:
Much as I love my rugby, am really unamused that my 11 year old still has a problem walking , 12 weeks after a rugby injury to his knee. He's been to GP, Physio, had MRI scans, fracture clinic...and now we're heading back to the physio :sneaky: They say if no improvement in a month they may do an exploratory op.
Really want it soted before he starts at the high school in september :unsure:

pointless things yuk!

Once , not long after I had started work, I had saved up and bought myself a very trendy & fashionable coat. The likes of which my Mum did not approve of. Walking to catch the bus one winter morning , I put my hand into the pocket of this much loved item of clothing and drew out a snail.......... aaarrrggghhh ! Never felt the same way about the thing again despite having it dry cleaned - twice ! The coat that is , not the snail.

:eek: Ewwww gross

Congrats!

Its a good feeling, and for me I was so relieved that whatever happens in the future whether we stay here or return to UK citizenship means that my kids can make their own choice and we'll all be free to come and go as we decide :)

And since I've just finished a bottle of Old Dark I'll have another of the same thanks (and pretend it's a pint of Murphys or Wadworths 6X)!:)
