» Shoddy Presents

Box of bits
One year for my birthday (I think it was my 13th) my Grandma sent me an old shoe box with 'bits and bobs' written in biro on the top and the lid was held shut with an elastic band. The contents were as follows:

buttons
gravel
old string
pebbles
a broken belt
a pot of dried up glue

I have to admit I wasn't very impressed!

Guess who
My office is next door to the gents toilet. I can hear everything. I now have the skill to recognise who is in there purely from duration, style and finesse!

Pure talent I tell you.

» When I met the parents

It set the scene
The first time I met my boyfriend's (now husband) family I walked through the front door and his brother (who was 8 at the time) said 'she's better than your last ugly monkey girlfriend!'. Result! His mother said 'Hello, when are you going to give me grandchildren?'...

needless to say 13 years later she's still waiting - now that's making her wait :) *evil cackle*
