Dear Diary
Bit down today but trying to think positive. Chatting on here helps, think it's called distraction therapy, someone will know if that's right. Don't want to have a day off, too much thinking time, but Weds is always my day off!

[claradooblue]

I always feel fed up on wednesdays. There's probably a chemical explantion, in that it takes untill midweek to get your body back to normal from the weekend. Anyway, i always feel like i want to eat pringles.

[S4B]

Pringles sound like a good plan. Although they always remind me of golfing jumpers. You have to be at least my age to get the connection I think

[claradooblue]

Did you know that you can use pringles to light a fire/barbeque if you're short on firelighters or kindling. They go up a treat. It's a bit worrying about what may be in them to do that. Probably the msg or something.

[S4B]

I'll remember to always carry a packet with me when I'm off in darkest Peterborough! How did anyone find that out? They should've been eating them not burning them!

[claradooblue]

Our drunken New Model Army loving lodger showed us the other week. It's quite impressive actually. The fire takes pretty quickly. You have to have an ashtray at hand to drop it in and make sure small children arn' t watching.

**S4B goes looking for pringles and wonders if it'll work on Walkers sensations**

[claradooblue]

Well we used cream cheese and chive flavour. I don't know if it makes a difference though. Walkers sensations are probably too potatoey to do the job.

[S4B]

Yeah they are! No pringles in this house - damn I'm a bad mother not getting my kids wholesome snacks like that

[claradooblue]

Ooh no. Pringles are just for adults in our house. We're a damn sight more naughty than the kids full stop. My daughter and stepson get chocolate raisons occasionally, but they've now reached a level of maturity where they think that we should behave better and practise what we preach. Fair play. Probably includes setting fire to pringles in the sitting room.

[S4B]

ha ha my kids have given up on me behaving as a parent. They're good boys tho so it's not an immediate prob, probably will be when they're teenagers tho

[claradooblue]

The teenage years fill me with absolute dread, as i remember how horrible to my mother i was. I'm sure my daughter will be a chip off the old block. Got a while to wait yet though, as she's only 5 and stepson's 7. Maybe i'll join some Harley street clinic in advance and get a large script prepared of valium and the like.

[MK Chris]

My sister is 21 and still hasn't grown out of 'the teenage years'.

[claradooblue]

I don't think i have yet, to be honest.

[MK Chris]

Yes but you seem like a fairly mature teenager. I was a good teenager apparently.

[S4B]

I was a very well behaved teenager I think I'm having my teenage rebellion now I'm in my 30s

[S4B]

Let us talk to your mum and tell her how great you are. She'll be so greatful you're not like us that she'll stop telling you you're a nightmare

[MK Chris]

Your mum calls you a nasty bitch? Sack her!

[MK Chris]

I've never once heard my mum swear. I've heard her say 'crap', but I don't class that as swearing.

[S4B]

I don't care if you have mums should NOT call their kids things like that. My god my kids tell me off if I shorten their names god only knows what they'd do if I called them things like that. I used to have a bad temper, I had to learn to control it after I threatened my brother with a carving knife.

My Mother bought me a T-Shirt last year saying -
"My Mother loves me. Everyone else thinks I'm a Tw*t."

True story!

[Boboff]

I want one!

[DemonHorse]

I want one!

and a tshirt too?

[Zoot]

Your mum is a genius!

She is that, bless her

[Yudster]

I bought my daughter a T shirt which said "You're just jealous cos all the little voices are talking to me" and my son one which said "Don't wake me I'm busy". I also bought the vicar one which said Jesus loves you (but I'm his favourite). I'm not sure what kind of mother - or parishoner - any of that makes me.
