It has been a bad few weeks in the R household. Yet again the dreaded virus has spread across the 4 of of us. House full of coughing and sneezing people is not a pleasant place. I am currently under the doctor on a very expensive set of perscriptions for somethig additional(I have no been to the Doc in over 5 years and was shocked at the price of it all) but nothing to blog there.

However, Dixie has taken on a new role. Apart from being entertainment manager of the house (impressive at 19 months) she can now actually crap money.

Yes, you did read that rather vulgar phrase correctly.

I will spare you details, but suffice to say after three days of only wet nappies, she was becomimg rather grumpy. Then after another bout of butt clenching and screaming the GLW then forced her on to a potty and low and behold the potty was filled with what can only be described as "muddied coins". The fell out like one of the "shove 2p" machines at the seaside.

The shock of seeing cash in a potty was quite something. I did think for a moment that we cut her open and take the gold like the fable says, but they ended up killing the goose and that was a price too high.

I joke, but the seriousness of it was quite real really. The fact that she had ingested these coins safely was a stroke of luck. Only took on going the wrong way down and - well - does not bear thinking to be honest.

So Pixie's piggy banks are now on high. My coinage is safely put in a bottle to save up for my Aston Martin (should only take 20,000 years) and the GLW only steals my money and anything left gets spent on a variery of tat we do not need. So no issue of her ever having money left over.

I am not sure it is over yet either as we had a pretty bad night with her last night and as a consequence I have no energy for work and have diverted to blog.

Maybe she can start producing notes. It wont hurt anywhere near as much and I would not have to worry about doing my forecast and last weeks report that I am currently procrastinating over.

Actually my forecast is easy - Fk All. Reason: Plan to be lazy and cancel visits, blaming customer for cancelling me.

On second thoughts - bad idea.

Better get to work.

Laters all.
