'supporting each other through really tough times'

ginnyknit

Oh Kez, I now have diet coke all over my screen - do you have a government health warning tattooed on the back of your neck. I am just as terrible I have to admit, my 'accidents' know no bounds. Last winter I got my foot stuck in the seatbelt getting out of the back of the car and fell flat on my back in the middle of an icy road whilst shouting ' Im ok, dont worry' and I once fell down stairs with the hoover which landed on top of me and it fell into pieces. I could go on but wont cos you will all have a tena moment. The kids just groan now when OH tells them of my latest trick.

off on slug patrol in a minute whilst keeping an ear out for hubby who had a bad 'do' at dd's and had to be ferried home. he was more worried that DGS would see him even though little man was sound asleep. I think he just wanted to try out Dd's new mattress really.

Byatt - hugs - I'd say more but it's all been said. X

Lyn - you're a star as always X

Fuddle - I do potato salad with mayo, chives and finely chopped red onion - if I feel like going mad I also add in some chopped hotdogs (just the tinned sort is fine) and always a good grind of black pepper.

Kez - so pleased you booked the tickets, you'll have a fab time - X

I've ironed clothes for tomorrow and packed 2 bags, the usual change bag with a spare set for each and a separate bag with a towel and another spare set each in case we go to the water play area. Got the cool packs in the freezer and the picnic rucksack out so pretty much organised for tomorrow. We are going to our first music festival (for all of us, I went to lots of juggling festivals but never a music one), Disability Rocks, it's a family friendly fully accessible festival in Ilkley. It also has comedy, a sensory yurt, drumming workshops and some amazing sounding food. We've been so looking forward to it and it looks like we are going to luck out with the weather. I just know DD is going to love it - she's is really into her music, the current favourite is Imelda May, but anything in that blues/jazz/swing area goes down well.

Catch you all later - X

RPP: You want to try watching Breakfast at Tiffany's (it was aeons ago) in a 'cinema' (tin hut) in Wales, sitting on kitchen chairs, with a nice lady wheeling icecreams round on a wooden tea trolley and having the sound track completely drowned by the rain hammering down on the tin roof.

Byatt: Words of my divorce solicitor, "Give him enough rope and eventually he'll hang himself," and he did.

I make croatian potato salad.

Boil potatoes with skins on, when almost cooked, drain and place in a bowl.
Add about 1 tbsp of malt vinegar and stir into potatoes whilst they are still hot.
Add one sliced white onion stir and add salt and pepper.

It tastes nice either hot or cold.

We love Imelda May too after she was the support act for Meatloaf a few years ago. It sounds like you will have a fabulous time xx

Kez, can you hear commotion where you are? Olly murs is meant to be playing open air concert tonight in M'boro and the commotion is coming down the river to me. It's got to be that! It's gone on for hours now and it's too hot to shut me window. Going to be ratty tomorrow, need sleep!

kezlou

(((((((((((Byatt)))))))))))))) your ex can keep his holidays and his latest bit of stuff - you have a daughter and real love. And you can hold your head up high. People that brag and play games with others' emotions often do so because they are insecure and unhappy. In your mind, shrink him down to an inch high and step on him.

GQ - I first read your post as a pasta thong :rotfl:

Oh kezlou, what are we going to do with you love? I have done many daft things in my time. Two spring to mind involving buses in my spring chicken days.

First one. I was running for a bus in heels on a busy London high road (25 years ago!) and one of my shoes came off with such a force (I could run really fast then) it was flung a long way behind me. The bus has reached the stop by now and the driver indicated he would wait for me. Watched by a full busload of people, I sprinted back to retrieve said shoe, put it on and sprinted back towards the bus stop. Got on to the bus to a thunderous cheer!

Second. Standing on a packed London bus (again many years ago) hanging onto the rail. Bus takes a corner a bit sharpish and I land squarely on a man's lap and because the bus lurched off again around another corner I couldn't get up straight away... so just remained sitting on this man's lap.:o I saw the funny side and cracked a joke or two... what else could I have done? The man unfortunately had no sense of humour whatsoever - he wouldn't speak to me and glared at me whrn I eventually got off his lap. I stood up the rest of the journey scarlet with embarrassment but raised a good laugh when I reached the office.

edit: stiltwalker : have a fab time!

Trust me sq thats nothing compared To what I've done. If only I had a camcorder id be a millionaire.

My boys just spend they days laughing at me, its even worse when the cats are involved. My old neighbours came up to me yesterday saying how much they missed me. Apparently I was there entertainment, especially when doing yoga in, the, front and everything fell out and I was stuck with my legs above my head. Not a pretty site.

I managed to break all my toes by walking though mud, whilst having two children strapped to me. I was a, total hippie earth mum, a woman I know loved calling me this. my long hippie skirt, cat steel boots and tie dye home made baby slings and a, rucksack.filled with stuff and a 3 year old.


Where all that energy gone, it was only nine year ago.
Oh just realised the arc thing is on next saturday, stockton its saved for another day.
Thanks stiltwalker, enjoy the gig
