Thank you MG for my book too - arrived this morning. I'm going to settle down after dinner to have a read...if I can keep my eyes open! Just worked 2 days (back at school) after being off sick since my op in May - so I'm shattered, what a shock to the system!

Thank you again.....:A:A:A

know what you mean - feeling a little weary myself tonight. Gotta stop getting my best ideas at 3 in the morning:)

Courgette, I just can't believe it! I had little earthlet 4 weeks ago today, it has flown, and I thought you were just after me! Good luck sweetie, you are an expert you'll be fine! (Order a quick and painless birth now though.)

Just wanted to say that the positive attitudes that I have been reading on this thread both before and after the arrival has really got me through the last few weeks of 'adjustment'! Thanks MG and others!

Your earthlet is 4 weeks old - and you are on here compiling coherent sentences - i nominate you this years Supermum......:D


........... although if courgette doesn't have the gherkin soon we mayhave to give her the title out of sympathy.

courgette sweetie - i wish you the kind of birth i had with ds2, short ne sweet with a full english to follow :rotfl::rotfl:

Hi Memlorygirl, hi all,

today I tried the pitta bread recipe - wonderful and quick. MG, all my men (all three of them at the moment) are considering a conversion to memorygirlism. This is something given that I have two atheists and one agnostic.

Hope all else is well and I have to get back to my night job - don't get excited it is more of what I do during the day.

Firewalker

Wooohoooo!!! Firewalker. Breadmaking is like alchemy isn't it - the same basic ingredients and something amazingly different can be produced every time.

but the pitta breads are a firm favourite in this house too.

Finally finished catching up :beer: - can I just say what a fantastic, positive, motivational thread! I've been driving my husband mad with quoting from it.... although he's also getting caught up with it too! I even tried our library for the secret, but not there and not on their lists .... may have to buy it now!

As a mother to dd who is about to start a levels and studying with the ou myself, I will pm you shortly re the book ...

Thank you so much for the inspiration!

welcome silkbeast - and mr silkbeast (that sounds soooooo wrong - :rotfl::rotfl:)

hang around a while and soak up the madness - although should be calm for a while cos we sent all the naughty ones to bed with a new book!!!!!

Just catching up. This thread moves faster than your guardian angel can fly MG.

i like the idea of you setting up a blog, attached to that could be a forum for the stalkers (yes we are officially MG stalkers) and perhaps a website that promotes all the individual businesses, business ideas that people have set up from the thread.

Keep up the good work.

gotta be clear - books written by dyslexics have to be or we can't read what we've written - lol.

my favourite thing - its got loooooaaaddddssss of pictures - pictures are dead easy to spell:D:D

memorygirl

Well as DD2 is dyslexic and i strongly suspect DS is also dyslexic, then i am on to a winner with it all:D Plus, i like pretty pictures:T

My goodness - i am so suprised at how money people are online in the early hours of the morning - a record breaking night of through the night orders.

Today is frantic friday - as school finishes at lunchtime then we take them all swimming in the afternoon - and although we have done it ever friday for the last i don't know how many years it always catches me unawares.

Washing is out on the line, kids are dressed and fed, lunches are packed, breadmaker is set to make pizza dough for tea, video is chosen for our family film night and ...............

..............last night i went to let the cats out and there was a gift-wrapped bottle of wine on the step - with a printed card that said xxx

now i know its not clootiesmum or any of my other real life pals - cos they are all mums and it would likely to be a bottle of milk and a dozen eggs:D:D

so the question is???????????????

do you think gabriel byrne has finally tracked down my address??:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Think i might just have a glass tonight when watching the muppets with the kids.

Its a mystery scooby doo !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh how lovely. Dont you just love people who do random acts of kindness? I used to follow the Join Me crowd who did RAOK every Friday. It was lovely to hear some of the stories that they told.

You deserve the wine, enjoy
