I'll let you off, then, Misdee Grin

I have no one to carry now! Which is actually rather nice, after 8 years of having either a baby, a bump, or a toddler, or all three!

Queen I tried to comment but profile didn't work from my iPhone. The buggy!!! Arf! Elder genuinely thinks Doris Day is v cool and knows the words to Mamma Mia so I identify. It's character building, ahem.

Automatics are wonderful btw. I got one recently after a long resistance and love my new car now! Like driving a toy!

stitchthis · 28/09/2011 21:46

You're amazing queen. Truly.

MmeLindor. · 28/09/2011 22:34

Yes, agree that an automatic would be good for you, MmeG. Takes the stress of working out what gear you should be in away.

Even if you were able to drive around your home, in familiar streets. I can see that it would be difficult if you were to go on a trip somewhere new.

Oh, and don't worry about being embarrassing. I have the feeling that in the next few years we are ALL going to be embarrassing our DC daily.

Interesting. I am going to ask you lots of questions some day, as we are interested in perhaps building our own home. Not for a long time, but it is very popular in Germany so I am not too fazed by the idea.

You probably fell off the couch laughing at that, screeching, "OMG, she has NO idea!"

According to a Saudi princess on Twitter (and how freaking weird is that?) King Abdullah has revoked the lashing.

I've always said that if I did get a license then I would memorise routes to the boys' schools, the city centre, the hospital, supermarket, train station and the doctor's surgery and that's it. ;)

stitchthis · 28/09/2011 23:18

Phew! Quite a lot! I hate driving tbh. I have to psych myself up everytime and I used to drive a very fast one Hmm

stitchthis · 28/09/2011 23:19

But I do love my automatic. No, I can reconcile it either.

I look back over the years, and make some Indian fried chicken. So simple, I was tempted to add stuff to make it look difficult :)

If you stay on the page long enough, you amy also be treated to a blast from my past Grin

overmydeadbody · 29/09/2011 08:08

yay, that is surprising, but great news MmeLindt.

PetiteRaleuse · 29/09/2011 08:39

MmeL you're on the front page of the bloggers page ...

Memories of primary school Woul dbe interesting to know how things have changed in the UK if any of you have primary aged kids.

JoanneMallon · 29/09/2011 10:47

@FlamingoBingo I have three! My main one I use most of all is @joannemallon , then I have one for a group I run @MediaWomenUK , then I have to have one for my Ready for Ten writing @RFTJoanne but I don't post on there so much. Only so many hours in the day. I think the RFT one shows up first if you search under my name, so I do get a lot of people following it and then getting confused as the action is elsewhere really.

Sry haven't been able to catch up with your blogs, a smartphone take much longer to test than I thought! To keep my blog active, here's a disaster pic of a cake I made a while ago: Something Old...

Back to feeding and seeing a dentist soon for clean and polish... shiver

Today, I am attempting to answer some of the FAQ I get asked on my blog.

FlamingoBingo · 29/09/2011 19:00

@Joanne - I had one for my blog and one for me and had the same confusion thing going on, so I just ditched the one for my blog in the end.

I'm also admin on a few other accounts that I've been paid to set up - my Tweetdeck has about a million columns on it :D

Hi all, I've recently joined the network, with my blog Sense of Entitlement, all about benefits and politics and that. I'm hoping for a mixture of personal stories and wider comment.

Anyhow, this is my latest post, all about my latest clarting about, this time with the council and thier randomly reducing our council tax benefit FOR NO REASON. Gah.

Benefits Hell
