Tut, Maud, what will Mr Thornton say!

I have to say goodnight, ladies, I have to be up at crack of dawn tomorrow.

Sweet dReAms to all

Mr Thornton would, I am sure, be most grateful to the physician for taking good care of me and rendering me fit enough to return to his manly embrace.

I most go too. School run tomorrow after the indolence and relaxation of half term.

Dors bein!

Hello! Ooooh now I like a bit of Dr Track, great choice, Massive! I'm intrigued though - what did the title say before it was corrected?

Well in return for last night's Woody Allen effort, and thanks to Maud's earlier proffering, I plumped for Bridget Jones Edge Of Reason tonight. Awwwww, 'twas lovely. Cried 37 times and would now like my hormones back to normal, thank you kindly.

PasstheTwiglets · 05/06/2011 22:43

Good luck on school run tomorrow, everyone. We have a non-pupil day so we are going to the beach (weather-depending) :)

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 05/06/2011 22:46

::Looks back at you::

So glad to have been of service, Twiggy. ::Through gritted teeth:: Enjoy the beach.

Re the thread title; I managed to mis-spell the word 'the' Twiggy Blush

Night all and sweet dReAms of your Favourite chaRActer.

Oh poo, it is supposed to be raining all day, so the beach is off. I'm all for a bit of splashing around in puddles but spending a whole day in the rain is beyond me. Not sure what to do now - I feel we ought to go somewhere that is usually crowded during summer hols so we can take the advantage of a quiet day.

TheSmallPrint · 06/06/2011 07:17

Morning Twigster, no school here today either and we also have the rain -boo hiss!

Just to confirm, I ache like mad this morning!

PasstheTwiglets · 06/06/2011 08:10

Are you going to try Shredding again today, Small?

I was thinking about the Science Museum but with all the time restrictions on the cheaper tickets it would only leave us about 2.5 hours to explore the museum! So London is obviously best left to weekends when there are no restrictions. Peak fares to London are a scandalous £80 just for me and DD - we're only 45 mins away from London, it's not like we're in Cornwall!! Anyway, we are having a day of MNing craft activities and general pottering. I've said we can have lunch in the garden in the rain, if I can find (and put up by myself) our beach tent.

Btw, Small, in my head you sounded like a Dutch tourist trying to speak English when you said "we also have the rain" :o

TheSmallPrint · 06/06/2011 08:27

Great now I'm going to be speaking like that all day! Grin

I have just done it Twigs. My calf muscles are completely seized up and Mr Small is laughing. I Would do it first thing tomorrow too but it's school so so won't have time. Are you meant to do it everyday?

Those train prices are obscene! Shock. Do you have any local childrens museums we have a couple of fabulous ones here which the boys love going to.

PasstheTwiglets · 06/06/2011 08:36

Yep, meant to be every day for 30 days. I literally couldn't walk downstairs on the 3rd day, had to bump down on my bottom :) Norkage is the main issue for me (as well as laziness :) ) I just can't do jumping up and down, it's way too painful (though somebody on a Shred thread suggested 2 sports bras!) I can't do it with anybody watching me either. How was your knee whilst you were doing it? Oh rats, maybe I will have to get back into it :(

Our local museums are a bit pants, tbh. They're very small, provincial efforts. Once you've done them, you've done them, iyswim. We could do soft play but that eats a tiny part of my soul every time we go.

Off-peak trains are cheaper and I'm about to buy a railcard as I really want to do London more. Just that off-peak really is only doable on weekends, unless we are going somewhere very close to our London terminus.

Small says:

Please to be telling me what the weather is making today? I am wanting to visit your Palace of Buckinghams but I am very busy making the houses designing.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 06/06/2011 09:34

Maud's Dutch cousin says

The weather in London is making plenty rains and the sky is staying dark. I am very impressive that Small is making the houses designing. Maud says that she really ought to be making the houses tidy after the chaos of the half term holiday time, but actually she is going to be sloping off to the gardens centre to look at the roses flowers.

::Maud is rather impressed by this fluency, as the only Dutch she speaks is to say Anderlecht in a way that once fooled someone into thinking she could indeed speak Dutch.::

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 06/06/2011 09:35

Twiggy - Does your local Seat of Learning not have a museum or art gallery?

TheSmallPrint · 06/06/2011 09:37

Stop it, or I will be doing the talking of the Dutch people all of the day ja. Grin

I am taking it easy with the foot and the knees (more worried about the foot at the mo.) No norkage issues here, just rubbish ageing body.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 06/06/2011 10:01

I have stopped it. I think it ill behoves the notoriously monoglot Brits to tease the Dutch about the quirks of their English, given that everyone in the Netherlands seems to speak it with some degree of fluency. When we got lost in Holland, the roadsweeper gave us directions in perfect English. I doubt that the same could happen here.

TheSmallPrint · 06/06/2011 10:20

Well, that's a very good point Maud and you are quite right but it's more about my sanity in this instance. Grin

PasstheTwiglets · 06/06/2011 10:23

Dutch practically is English. Whilst camping in France once, it started to rain. We heard a Dutch man remark "iss shtarten un rainen" :o

Please to be enjoying the roses flowers, Maud. Sadly, the museums here have been many times visited and they are only being very small anyway.

I don't do nearly enough craft stuff with the kids so we are about to commence junk modelling.

TheSmallPrint · 06/06/2011 10:28

I know, I'll try distRAction techniques to throw Twigs off her stride.

TheSmallPrint · 06/06/2011 10:31

and what a pair of strides!

Speaking of which, Maud have you watched our Aussie heart throb yet?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 06/06/2011 10:34

::falls off sofa at first link::

That second link takes me to my own FB page, Small.

::really spooked now::

TheSmallPrint · 06/06/2011 10:36

Oh did it? Confused I'll try again.....

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 06/06/2011 10:43

Here is a , found after I'd been listening to I've Thrown A Custard In Her Face.

SupermassiveLBD · 06/06/2011 10:49

Small's link took me to a Facebook log-in page. So if you are automatically logged into FB ,Maud, that is probably what happened, it zoomed you straight in. without so much as a by your leave

Don't be starting me on the funny Englishes.. Grin
