I... I couldn't resist. *drinks milk and looks innocent*

But you were right, Thea's so cute, couldn't possibly bbq her.

[QUOTE=Ahem! I hear they roast skippys in Oz!

LOL Good to see you around again Skippy!

Thank you darling, it's nice to see some familiar faces.

Roasted Roo is a bit gamey, not to mention stringy. Keep feeding that kitten, I'll be around in a few months with my special sauce!

I finally figured out what type of hat that is.
Its a Fadora. Go figure right?

*looks at the big ol' Skippy with squinty eyes* Yah... I can see where you'd be a bit gamey...

LOL

yah, we're feeding her ....and boy can she pack it in!

Ugh, had an extra day off over our long holdiay weekend and now I have to be back at work tomorrow... I want more time off! LOL Ever notice how over holidays you rarely get things done around the house that you have put off for ages but then when it's time to go back to work you remember you needed to do this chore or that and well... not enough time now! Yup, that's how my weekend's been! LOL

*eyes up RainBabe with eyes full of wonder and awe*

I've always been game sweetheart. Just I don't think our respective spouses would be too impressed.

Taking a couple of days off at the end of the week as it happens. Driving the eldest(19) up to York to suss out some accommodation for him. He's just been offered a fulltime job to train as a Civil Engineer. He's done 2 years college towards it already, so as well as paying him wages, their sending him to college to do his degree once a week during term time.

It's excellent! Saves us a bucket load of money, as we don't have to pay for him going away to Uni. and tuition fees. And best of all, he's moving out of the house and we don't have to feed him anymore(you want to see our weekly food bill!!), and I might actually be able to find a beer in the fridge when I have a look!

Don't get me wrong here, I love him to bits and he's a great bloke. But there comes a time (Neil Young in the background), and believe me, that time has come and gone and is but a distant memory.

He's developed an attitude way beyond his experience, if you know what I mean. He'll learn.

Nah! Looks just like a rabbit once you remove head, paws and fur!

Cloudbringer · 07-08-2008, 11:00 AM

Tosses a cat-spit covered toy at Skippy!

Heheh , yup... I suspect you'd have a word or two coming from the spouses! ROTFL!

Congrats to your offspring on the job with schooling offer! That's got to be every parent's fondest dream for a child that's going to university or looking for a job. Get a company to offer a great job with training!

LOL at the 'food bill' ! I can imagine your fridge being empty and your son constantly telling you and your spouse how empty his stomach is! Yup, he'll learn...takes a bit at that age but they do learn most things they need to!

Dragonshadow · 07-08-2008, 11:14 AM

Heh, since my sister left for uni, our house food bill has been less. And when I leave in Spetember / October, I think it'll be even lower.

Cloudy, got anything for cramp? *curls up with a hot water bottle*

Cloudbringer · 07-08-2008, 11:16 AM

Hey DS! Hands DS a nice cup of chamomile tea and a biscuit. Chocolate, of course.

Got to get to some work here at the office but had to run around deleting spam...grrr...sales pitches first thing on a site are not the way to win friends!

See you all later! Have a great day!
