Happy days are here again......

[Guest guest]

I am now the proud mother of an 'I have stayed dry all day' boy!!!

Two wees in the potty today (and that's all he did all day!) No

soggy pants, trousers, socks, " oh dear I'm wet " , etc,etc,etc.

Result:- one calm, happy mummy.

I know we haven't cracked it completely yet, but at least it's

progress.

Also, I got offered a promotion at work last night. Even though it's

not exactly the job I want to do for the rest of my life (or even

after my DS1 and 2 start school and I can work ordinary hours instead

of unsocial ones!) I'm still chuffed, as a year ago I hadn't even

pulled a pint and now they are offering to train me to run the pub in

the managers absence. The money will be better too:o)))))))))

Just when you feel everything is going wrong; it starts going right

again!

At parents evening I noticed a comment on a story that DD1 had written :

'one exclamation mark will do'.

I remember reading somewhere once that women use exclamations marks more

than men ( not sure why).

(gross overuser!!!)

My English teacher (male) used to say that an exclamation mark at the end of

a funny sentence, instantly makes it no longer funny. For many years I

avoided using them for this reason, but they crept back in sometime in my

mid 20's, and now they are once again prolific in anything I write!!!

Fortunately though, I never write anything that's intended to be funny.

You sure you're not my 2 year old? This is his favourite expression at the

I wouldn't mind being two years old atm. Then I could avoid the housework

and cooking and everything else that is getting me down.

and me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!

also a user of 'nice' as in Eng Teacher " no intelligent gel uses the

word 'nice'

also (a generational thing?) really nice, really this 'n' that

and I'd go for being three rather than two, less emotional turmoil

and still no housework except maybe a bit of gentle tidy up time

before bagpuss ....

anyway, exclamation marks are email nuances of tone, hey no?!!!

like ;-) etc
