We all need to be heard for a little while.

tea, aren't you a bit old for Brownies?

I wasn't in Brownies, but I did become a Girl Guide, in the days of ties with the funny knot that I could never do, and berets. I've still got my trefoil badge somewhere!

Did you have a woggle? I had a woggle.

I also made my own by learning to tie Turks Head knots

I had a woggle when I was in Guides. I recently discovered my complete Guides uniform in a bag under the bed! The funny thing is I've only been in this house 4 years, and it's more like 25 yrs since I was in Guides so heaven knows how many houses I've dragged it around without unpacking :rotfl:. I enjoyed Guides, but it was never as good as Brownies. Just hoping that helping out is as much fun!

When I was in sixth form I helped with Beavers and that was good.

Can't believe how nervous I am though.... they're little girls, how scary can it be?? :rotfl:

That's exactly the one. They have black tongues.

I am feeling a bit blue today. I feel like I need to sob for a while to let the boohoos out but I can't. Maybe I need to watch last week's supervet.

I was in Brownies with the full brown dress, brown belt, brown hat and yellow woggle. I was a sixer but I didn't have a six - I had a 2 because there weren't enough of us :rotfl: Guides didn't appeal to me though.

Ok I keep looking and I'm going to have to ask.... at the risk of being laughed off the board, is that a real dog Pyxis?

On a personal level, I wish they'd take religion out of it though

I agree with you about the religion, this also permeated the scouts in particular. Could really do without that. I was in cubs, then scouts for a bit - while I still enjoyed it, after about a term at secondary school the amount of homework meant I gave it up as losing an evening each week when you might have two or more hours of homework each day really put pressure on the other evenings. Same with learning the clarinet.

Code - I saw an article on boredpanda earlier about a nurse cat. He stayed at the rescue centre that helped him and now he looks after other injured animals. Some v cute pictures on there! Certainly made me cry :o

Yes, apparently. I googled 'dog that looks like teddy bear' and got that. I have seen other pics of the teddy bear dog, so I'm pretty sure it's real!



No woggle! We had a tie that had to be tied with a certain special Guide knot, and I always found it really hard to do dunno why.

Now I know he's real he's even cuter!
