For the lonely faces, in those empty spaces
For the unloved and the denied
For the little wheels turning bigger deals
For all the dreams that bloomed and those that died

Mother nature don't draw straight lines
We're broken moulds in a grand design
We look a mess but we're doing fine
We're card carrying lifelong members of
The Union of different kinds

All welcome we are Vanilla who makes cakes
Toad who is meme champion
Better who is advisory
Portia who has a famous boyf
AGL who is young
Jess well I dunno
Ruby Being and anyone I've forgotten

Really sad about the two year old. Sad

MyDressIsInferiorBlue · 24/08/2016 17:03

legz lucky you. I struggle with them but there's only me to do it.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 24/08/2016 17:04

mummy. You should have seen my ex struggling to put a duvet cover on! Sigh. I could have made a fortune on YouTube.

PortiaCastis · 24/08/2016 17:11

MyDress Yes I think the government should educate more. The RNLI do go out to schools but obviously they rely on volunteers. Police and ambulance have to attend casualties brought to shore obviously but even the air sea rescue at Culdrose has been outsourced to a private company
A talk in schools before the holidays makes sense but on otoh it's amazing how many children are lost on beaches.

Sad

On another note, I was sitting on a plastic chair in me bra & knickers and I have just got stuck - literally stuck to the chair. Not because I'm too fat but because I'm too HOT! I had to veritably peel myself off like a freshly stuck on plaster. Ow ow.

VanillaSugar · 24/08/2016 17:50

Ow.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 24/08/2016 17:59

Vanilla, I have had that on our sofas because they are leather. Ouch sums it up.

That's the problem volunteers for RNLI are likely to be based in costal areas. If you grow up away from the sea, you're least likely to have the knowledge (as are your parents) and probably live a long way from any volunteers. It should be compulsory school education. Like other moral and personal welfare has become.

That'll get you in the Daily Fail AGL

Portia don't try to get us in daily fail!!!

red what region of the UK are you in?

PortiaCastis · 24/08/2016 18:26

MyDress Yes some sort of initiative should be put in place. I can see things from your pov. Why the hell does the government rely on charities?

OP posts:
PortiaCastis · 24/08/2016 18:29

AGL can make his own thread and get in the Fail. I was suggesting a title for himSmile

So pleased for you, Blue.
I think Red is in South Wales

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 24/08/2016 18:52

AGL If you do get famous, remember me. I do not want to be watching Good Morning ten years from now with an ancient Eamonn Holmes asking you 'how did this all begin?' and you shrugging and saying 'can't rememember, really' while I sit surrounded by cats, hurling Jammy Dodgers at the TV screen.

Anyone know if Better has finished the spread sheet?

Correction, being and blue. Yes, it began here, but if you flick back, I was considering starting a random thread about something fairly trivial but would get a massive response. AGL. said he wanted to do one to, and asked for ideas. So I gave him one (idea, obv)

And now he's going to be famous and forget all about me! (although I don't begrudge him - all those Sad faces would make me forgive him for anything)
