A thread for insignificant posts that don't need a thread of their own

I am here but have the excuse it is only 9-52 in USA.
Sorry to hear you cannot sleepNellie but glad your shoulder is not quite so bad.

Where is everyone else at 02:40hrs. I can't sleep and need a chat. I can't even say my shoulders are aching as badly as they have been.
I am having one of those unsettled wake up in the early hours, mind won't settle moments, hours , days, weeks, whatever. I need something good on my horizon but cant even think what that would be.

I am glad my little dgs isn't the only one.
I was in browsing in a newsagent when DS was under two to find him unwrapping an Easter egg on a very low display shelf in the window. Little boy removed and rushed off up the high street so fast he could not stop to have a proper tantrum.

How funny When. They make me cry with laughter, the little ones.

Ha ha! My little granddaughter ran through the Clark's store taking shoes off the display, whilst I charged after her, putting them back, including a pair she whipped away just as a little girl was about to try them on!

My 18 month old DGS was in his pushchair with his mum and dad in local town. They looked down and saw him clutching a very expensive leather shoe which he had 'lifted' from the Clarks shoe display outside the shop. My SiL grabbed it and ran through the town and into the shop apologising profusely. He isn't the bravest of young men.

Jendurham our little JR has never seemed to have had a cold but he does have bouts of sneezing and he frightens himself when he does sneeze very funny to watch specially if he is in his basket as the basket slides across the floor when he jumps with shock,poor thing.

Alternativegran, I once bought a keylocator to put in the cracker for one of my sons at Christmas. After we had had fun with it at the table, I found it hidden on the top shelf on the wardrobe the next summer.
Lots of his friends whistled a lot and would have set it off in his pocket.

Just googled it, Yogagran. Dogs do get colds.

As I sit here with a streaming cold, just sneezed several times and the dog is looking at me as though I might suddenly turn into something quite frightening, I am wondering if someone can tell me why dogs don't get colds?

PRINTMISS here's hoping you have more luck than we did with finding your spec's,last week-end DGS 9yrs went for a sleepover at his pals he had just the day before been to SSavers for new spec's and could he find them the morning after ? not a chance and he swears he left them on the windowsill,the pals mum has hunted the house down looking for them but no signs so new ones ordered again !!

Yayyyy, flapjacks, thank you thatbags

The key to our french window disappeared for good when DS1 was a toddler. It soon became obvious that he hadn't eaten it, so presumed it had been taken down the garden when he went in search of strawberries. The same child removed the knob from my parents' central heating thermostat and it was never seen again. For ever afterwards, Dad had to regulate the thing with a screwdriver, kept well out of DS's reach.

nellie and glass, I love stories like that

Yes, icy, the flapjacks got made eventually. They are in the big Winnie the Pooh tin in the corner. do eat some before ThatSoop scoffs the lot.

Just found the key to my FIL's wardrobe in DGD's little play bag from when we there on Saturday. He has been washing and dying the clothes he was wearing over night as he couldnt get into the wardrobe for clean items and thought he had put the key somewhere safe and didnt mention it to us.

This has made me smile on a cold and miserable day. DD just posted on FB about my 13mnth old DGS.

"Over-excited little monkey has been running riot around Clarks, waving a pink trainer and shouting "shoe! shoe! shoooo!"

I don't yet know if pink trainers were bought.

A lovely story about false teeth. Told me by a friend who has since died - a lifelong resident of Didcot.

Her uncle dropped his down the loo, and flushed them. He thought he might be able to rescue them by going to the sewage works, at that time quite small and near.
When he asked there, the man said 'Sure, help yourself, there's a box full in the corner'...............

Have, after four failed attempts, finished a portrait of celebgran's Rosie. It will be in the post tomorrow. Have just helped myself to a few of bags's home baked flapjacks. Am taking them to the kitchen and pretending that I made them so that we've something special for tea time. Thanks, bags

Has anyone used key locators? I know that some come with several tabs to attach to keys, purses etc. Sounds like a good idea although I would probably lose the remote control.

thatbags did you get your flapjacks made? Please can we taste?

Rushed to the freezer just as I was going out to check something and left my keys there. Stood in hall wondering whereon earth I had left my keys. Turned the house upside down. Looked everywhere except in the freezer. In the end I found the spare set and went out arriving for my appointment very late. DD went to freezer that evening and.......

Never mind we all do it. BiL, a very good cook, made a beautiful thin fragrant Thai soup last week and left it on the kitchen worktop to cool. DS, like me a very tidy soul, went into the kitchen saw the saucepan, thought the clear, pale liquid was soaking water, poured it down the sink, washed the saucepan and put it away.

Hello Douglas. Welcome.

Yesterday I made a cup of tea and put it in the fridge and carried the milk
jug into the living room and set it down on the sofa table......
When I came to drink it................
