A conversation amongst the mums I am on a WhatsApp group with after we met on a MN pregnancy group 5 1/2 years ago (we were all due the same month)

I decided that a good day was one where everyone was loved, fed and we all survived whatever shit life was throwing at us at the time!!

I was missing Kirsty MacColl when I changed it

Alma Cogan was a singer of the 1950's and 60's who wore splendiferously fancy evening gowns -as a child saw her several times at theatres in Blackpool when holidaying in nearby Thornton Cleveleys, and was blown away by the creations she appeared in!

John Lennon had a huge crush on her, I think?

I’m in the fire service - it’s a brand of smoke detector!

DailyMaui did the best live parking thread ever 😁 with brilliant diagrams and even a Donkey Dog thrown in. So my name is in homage to her...

Faffertea · 19/09/2024 21:07

I faff and drink tea 🤷‍♀️

Black Books is also a brilliant, funny series written by Graham Linehan.

No idea, just kinda came to me

SNOWFALL.

The best drama series I've ever watched. I was so gutted when the last episode had finished.

I've never met anyone else who has ever watch it either 😯

VeterinaryCareAssistant · 19/09/2024 20:31

Mine is after my job which I love and think about all the time.

But I might change it to "Carl Should Have Lived" as I'm finally binge watching The Walking Dead and I'm on season 8 and massively pissed off that the writers killed off Carl!

Me too. Last time, there was a roll of black bin bags on the floor.

What we do in the shadows. The TV show not the film, although both are hilarious.

When my kids were much smaller, we saw chickychoccyeggs at Easter in m&s, they thought the name was hilarious so I made it my name to remember a cute memory

troppibambini6 · 19/09/2024 19:58

I'm from an Italian family and I have too many kids (6)

Self-explanatory if you've ever watched Buffy.

(If you don’t - it’s a lyric from the song Be Faithul by Fatman Scoop (RIP). It was played on every night out when I was a fresher at uni.)
