    My mum used to buy me pretty girly dresses but I ripped them so often playing football and climbing trees she soon gave up hope on having a girly girl and sent me out in the cheapest tracksuit bottoms she could find

    My dad used to take me out clothes shopping, and apparently anytime we went near any girly dresses I'd have a full on tantrum :rotfl:

    That was me too, spent most of my early years up trees :D Several times I fell out face first onto stinging nettles too :eek: I often wonder how I never broke a bone! Almost fetched the swing in our garden over once because I insisted on going right round on it. Might also have had something to do with having an older brother as well as a younger brother, I could always keep up with them :D

    I can be "a lady" if needs arise, but I think my parents gave up on the idea of me being a girly girl when I was fairly young :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Good morning everyone
    Hope all is well.

    Underperky and enterprise you both sound like fab grandparents:j. My mum is always doing mental stuff with lil stink and I wouldn't have it any other way. :)

    It's a beautiful day here so far, we are gonna have a lazy morning watching monster trucks and building train tracks then I think we will go for a bike ride down by the river.

    No shopping today if I can help it. :)
    Life is not about learning to avoid the storms - it's about learning to dance in the rain.

    Daughter arriving from Sydney later for a month visit :j:j:j:j . Will make Pork Casserol in the slow cooker to welcome her home :)

    Sounds like what I am planning with my grandson next time we have him :D Hadn't thought of the hubba bubba one, not sure if he will manage that yet as he is not yet 4, but it is certainly going down on the drive the parents mad list :D Also planning on taking him across the woods in the summer and letting him climb trees and get covered in mud :D That's what childhood is about!
    Or she is only 3 but she loves watching me doing it , parents stop me when they see...lol...I let her bake in beautiful dresses ...proper little girly ones and ride her bike play in the sand mud and clay , as she loves to dress up ...her clothes are coming off as she walks through the door , by the time she gets to her dresses she is only left with her knickers on and then she chooses a dress ,to wear at grandma's and it washed when she leaves .. and she returns home in the clean clothes she came in ....no problem lol...yes parents are a bore .... I must have been too ....lol....now I know why my dad infuriated me ...
    lol :)))))

    Aww have a great time with your dd x
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
