well said cheri!

Mine has just written an e-mail to tell me what she needs to discuss this weekend - - seems my godmother's son's daughter's mother is causing grief in the family - :rotfl:- think i'll respond by saying yes Mom i know - she's a right cow - pretensious (sp?) and always has been - lol - wonder if my comment will make the conversation about the 'errant relative' shorter or longer?????

Happy Productive Friday All!

:eek:..and I thought my Mum talked about convoluted relationships. Many years ago, I remember her saying "if I start to ramble like Nanna, have me put down" - when can I tell her?:D
My Gran used to do the 'remember so and so, who lived in such and such' or "Fred's sister's step daughter, who married Wilmas cousin's friends nephew etc. and look at us blank when we didn't know who she talked about.
A while ago, I was talking to a colleague, and happened to mention that I was going to a funeral in a particular church. It turned out we were going to the same funeral; it was my uncle, and she was 'thingy from next door's daughters step son's cousins wife:p, who had also been an apprentice hairdresser in my uncles shop.

KC -have you ever put up a link to your blog?

:kisses3:What a community of interest we have! RT, love that thread of relation, now thats definitely quite distant :eek: And its not our individual mums .... its a condition intrinsic to the type

Oh dear :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Gill, yes, I did when it first started, but I abandoned it over the winter when I was ill, so here it is again:

Lovely time with Wol! Numpty didn't come dahn sarf in the end, so it was just us - and Wol could see that the house is really starting to look different :j:j:jHappy and tired now - no intention whatsoever of going to sit in an Egyptology lecture tomorrow either

Well, perhaps I will escape that problem as I am not a Mum I dont remember my Nan every being like that. More the kind of woman who would have found it hilarious that my Uncles car was stole with her ashes on the back seat, and even funnier that it was returned two days later to the exact spot with her still sitting there

I had known my Dad's best friend my whole life. I have know Mr C since I was 15. My Dad's best friend sat with me through the night before my Dad died. We got on really well. When I was helping to send out invitations to Mr and Mrs C's 50th wedding anniversary I stared at a name on the list for a long time and then said to Mr C that this person was my Dad's best friend ...........My Dad pronounced the surname differently so I had never connected the two. So the X that Dad's best friend had been telling me all about and saying that he would be perfect for me was in fact Mr C! Unfortunately I never got to catch up with him again as he had an accident and died before the party but it gave a whole new twist to my Mum's ramblings of so and so knowing so and so.

Oh Cheri ... thats amazing. The relationship you're in is the one you're truly meant to have.... wonderful.

I'm like you in that I'm not a mum, and that my nan wasn't like we're describing - she never cared about all of that, and tho she had a bit of a temper a couple of times, she was so easygoing - about clothes, about who was around, about adventure. She rode a motorbike in her 30s, she started travelling to the USA when she was in her 70s, to see the rellies now in Norfolk ... ach, you know, I can't do her justice, so I won't try. She was great.

My list, by the way, is all done! I did half an hour in the garden before Wol arrived, clearing leaves and putting them in sacks to moult down, putting grass and stuff into the compost bin, bit of weeding, that sort of thing. And now I have 210 litres of bark mulch to be going on with

Hello lovely lady,

nice to catch up with your 'doings' & great to hear you've seen lovely Wol . I've been a bad friend & not been in touch for ages. Perhaps we 3 could have a mini meet up sometime ? Where the place ? Upon the heath ... Hubble, bubble, toil & trouble ... which would you like to be ?

KC - just had a quick skim of your blog, thank you for putting up the link

Now, I've a bone to pick with you young lady - gluten free bread is EASY PEASY, much easier than "normal" bread as you don't have to bash the heck out of it. I've made 2 types, plain white and a scrumptious walnut loaf, which I made for a dinner party with OH and friends, and wanted us all to have the same meal (apart from me not having the meat). Would you like me to dig out the recipes and post them up here?

MrsMoo2U
