You really know you are a bit older when you can remember trying to get things through your mother's mangle.
Personally, my sisters doll's I found easy, but next door's cat was a bit more reluctant. I never did do that by the way I made it up.:pac:
So you invented the flatpack cat?

Is anyone else dreading the rest of the run up to Christmas? The shops are already clogged, and I get so angry around crowds. The idea of having to sit in traffic a mile away from a shopping centre before you even get near a shop is causing me to break out in a rash. I'm the kinda shopper that knows what I need, go in and get it, then leave. I'm not a browser, so the people that are tend to go around in circles, walking into you like zombies. Don't start me on the crying / hissy fitting children :pac:
I dunno. When I was younger I used to look forward to it all, 'feeling' the Christmas spirit. I only see it as an annoyance and a wallet-raping time of the year.
I'll have my ghosts of Christmas past, present and future now :pac:Whats facebook??
It's a 'social networking' website. You can add friends & family, share pictures and video's and what not. It seems to me that two different kinds of people use it.
1) Those that use it in a healthy way, sharing pictures and videos etc., but prefer to talk on the phone, text, or meet up as a means of communicating.
2) Those that use it addictively, and post up all kinds of ridiculous crap about themselves, change their statuses every time they're in and out of relationships, post up attention seeking statements, load up 100 pictures of their weekend (all of themselves doing posey duck lips). They're also the kind that cannot communicate using the English language anymore, you know the sort -
"xxx I luv im 4eva"
I have FB, but use it for reason one. Though you can take it from my tone I'm no fan..0 -

you ask your son to switch off the wireless and he looks at you as if you have two heads
you search for your hairbrush and eventually find it in the fridge!! This reminds me of my mam. She was constantly mislaying her purse and it always turned up in the maddest of places..like the oven
Oh it was a great laugh at her expense...now Im doing similar

Similarly, make a mug of tea and it ends up being made with cold water, because you never heated the kettle. Or even worse you forgot to put a tea bag in it.
Worse still you make your tea with a small bag of pot herbs instead of tea. GAAAH that is truly awful.
I've been off work sick the last few days, decided to put on a wash. Put in the load, made myself a lemsip and went back to bed. Got up, put the machine on spin twice, as otherwise it takes forever to dry. Took out the clothes & was halfway to the clotheshorse when I thought "these clothes are really *really* dry from that spin..."
Yup...hadn't pushed the start button on the cycle. I'd like to blame the sickness, but it's the second time this month I've done that....been using that machine for 3 years.... 0 -

When going upstairs is referred to as going "all the way up the stairs",
because it's becoming a bit of a challenge.
eg: You've just come downstairs and realise you've forgotten something
then mutter: "Jayzus, do I have to go all the way up the stairs again!".
My mum takes this a step further and will ask anyone in the house if
they're "going up the stairs at some stage", if she needs something
brought down.
