The Christmas Present Tango

My mother-in-law (not it's not a bad joke unless you count our relationships as such, in which case, it is) and my rather more kindhearted father-in-law wanted to give my husband and I some money for a Christmas present. We got momentarily excited because we haven't bought anything for ages. I haven't bought any new clothes for myself since October 2007, I shit you not. Just haven't had the moolah and since I have wardrobes stuffed full I thought it would be better to get my tailor's dummy out and do some sewing and recycling and stuff, not had the time but my heart was in the right place.....ANYWAY.....they were going to give us some money and we thought oOOoo cd's and dvd's, the new Cure, hubby wanted the Blue Areoplanes thingy, I wanted She & Him, etc, etc. Then we discover that we can only have the money if we get the dishwasher fixed!!!!!(which she has been told a million times is unfixable and I am saving for a new one....although they won't give us money toward a new one..go figure) What kind of fucked up nonsense is that! I swear to God and shoes that my mother-in-law is the biggest Zone Of No Fun I have ever come across. If it might give someone pleasure then it is very very bad.
Every year we dance around each other having to specify EXACTLY what the children want even though we have no idea what how much she wants to spend and when we say maybe vouchers, so they can have the fun of shopping for themselves, she says 'no...that's not really putting enough thought into it' EVEN THOUGH SHE ISN'T PUTTING ANY THOUGHT INTO IT AS SHE IS BUGGING ME ABOUT IT FOR MONTHS.
Fuck knows what she will send, but I can guarantee it won't be fun.

New Prez

Goody goody gum drops a new Leader is in town, I like him nearly as much as that lovely Josiah Bartlet..... and the other one...Matt Santos.....yummy yummy man candy....I hope they get pics of Obama in speedos etc.
In other political news what the fuck are they thinking re gay marriage? They give it to you with one hand and take it away with the other.
I bet that moon faced twat Cameron will be sniffing round Obama like a dog with two cocks the dirty boy.

OOooOOoo *claps hands*

I just realised that Surly Girl is blogging again....I love her......and not in a stalker like mad axe murdering way or anything. Yay.

I'd Like To Complain

I'd like to complain about all the people complaining about Ross & Brand.....is all that complaining really necessary? I like a moan but complaining too much just takes the shine of any future legitmate complaints...effectively you are spoiling it for the rest of us. That is all.

You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me Lucille

With four hungry children and the crops in the field.

I was whooshed back in time when an advert for Daniel O' Donnell's 'new' album of classic country hits appeared on telly. I was totally in my Mum and Dad's 'middle room' with the big table waiting for Sunday lunch to be served while they messed about in the kitchen singing songs and stirring a huge baking tin of gravy on the gas ring. mmMMMMMmm yorkshire puddings.

Good news bad news

The good news is that the street light the council fixed has blown so we are plunged into beautiful darkness again, the bad news is that some fucker took my £5000000000000000000000000000000000000000 to fix the banks.

I Went To Chatsworth And I saw

A pig and a giant baby.
