View Full Version : The old ticker had a nice workout just now!
I came off a night turn last night, so I got home at about 06.45 this morning. As usual I fell straight into bed just as Mike was getting the kids up, and was out like a light by about 7am. I sleep REALLY lightly normally, and I put my fan on in my room to drwon out all the little noises like the dog moving around and the kitten playing.
At half 2 this afternoon someone came bursting into my bedroom. Asleep to KILL!1!!! in half a second. Actually, it wasnt KILL!!!, it was more 'Crap I've got nothing on and nothing in my room to use as a weapon and I've got another night tonight and I need more sleep!!' Amazing how many thoughts you can have in half a second!
Turns out Sophie was ill in the night and is off school, shes been watching movies downstairs all morning and decided half 2 was plenty late enough for me to be making her some lunch thank you very much.
Scuse my language, but **** me, I nearly jumped out my bedroom window :(

Hahaha aww Pebs, they do it to keep you on your toes.
Pffffft ;D
Bless her, did she just laugh at you? :D
Damn straight. Half-two is a late enough lunch for anyone. You got off light.
No, she just stated that it was half two and she was hungry and can I make some lunch please thank you very much. Witch.
Lock her in the cupboard!
Please don't flame me, but how ill can a child be if they are well enough to watch movies all morning?

If they're puking there is no point sending them into school as school will just send 'em right back home again!

Dunno - I'm only jealous 'cos unless I was diagnosed with Ebola AND cancer of all major bodily organs, face, hair and navel, bleeding from every orifice and wracked in a pain so insufferable that my screams had severed my larynx, my Mum made me go to school.

Gethyn? Is that you?
Yeah, my mum was the same! These days if they find nits you're called to pick them up!
Eugh, not the same as it was in my day..
Ha! I'm 24 and talking bollocks tbh. :D

She had your best interests at heart - no kid should have to see the milkman hanging out of his mom :shocked:

And no one worth their weight in the milkman's baby juice should spell "Mum" with an "o" in the middle :p
Had I been sorting her out she'd have gone in. Nothing short of an arterial bleed or unconsciousness normally keeps them home.

She lives with Pebs, what did you expect?

Good work Pebs. Carrot and stick approach - "If you don't get off your ass and go to school, I will beat you with this carrot, then beat you with that stick. Do you understand?"

And let's be honest here, unconciousness keeps them quiet and unable to object to going to school...
On the positive side at least she waited until half two and said please and thank you. :)

Good point, well made.

Same, unless half my intestines were actually coming out of my mouth, I was plenty well enough to go to school, I only had one day off in 5 years of secondary school...
Headaches, stomach pain, just generally feeling a bit ill were not a good enough excuse, if i was capable of sitting awake and listening, I was at school.
My mum was a teacher at my school so had to go in regardless :(
"GET BACK"

Cigar tube + a few angry wasps. Winn0r.
I lived at school. Ergo even being dead wasn't a good enough excuse. :p
I did end up in hospital once and in the school's medical centre a couple of times though - that's the closest I got to not being at school. :)

Since when were batons "aggressive" ;)

Aggressive is good or so I heard. ;) The only time I ever had off school was for things like shattering a leg in a maul and breaking an eye sicket fighting:o
Oh and having a 25K weight dropped on my toes.
Funny story about that actually, my mum bless her, worked at the hospital, so didn't want her colleagues to see me all dirty from playing rugby (remember I had a shattered leg) so made me have a shower and picked out some clothes for me to wear (shirt and tie naturally) before I was taken (an hour later) to have an X-ray. I can laugh about it now, but I could easily have ended up with the shattered bone piercing through a artery.
Thinking about it, the school were pretty useless. I should have gone to hospital in an ambulance instead of having my mum rung to come and collect me:(
