Inspired by our Smutty x

That's ok Lulu, a lot of my musical tastes would make people's hair curlm . I was a pretty hardcore metal fan in my teens. I like a lot of genres though.

I want The Rolling Stones, Sympathy for the Devil.

Curl of course

If we're going Rolling Stones, I think I'd like "Get Off of My Cloud" at my funeral

I doubt Nutty will be on here today so shall we go with this suggestion of hers when the time comes?

Due April 2009: Episode 18 - Mumble gets married and we have Triplets and Twins here!!

Sounds fine Puzzle.

It's Nutty's DDs party today isn't it. So jealous of her DD getting all that lovely dressing up stuff. What a lovely mummy she is.

So Lulu is going up there and I am going down there.

Absolutely, I bet her DD is having a ball.

Take me away from all this!

DH is currently running about in a bath towel, having got up at 9.45, and then charged about as usual doing his inefficient scurrying and multitasking thing in his dressing gown, before running a bath for himself, then eventually having a bath at 11 'because I wanted an hour to myself' and arguing with the children through the bathroom door constantly, and finally panicking because he thought he hadn't got the chicken in on time (DD was already giving it a Nigella treatment and about to do that for us herself) and that DD hadn't started her essay for uni yet.

I have just told him if he carries on flapping like this I will need a very big glass of sherry!!

WHY CAN'T HE DO ONE THING AT A TIME????? AND FINISH IT?????

Family life, eh?

Blimey - anyone else getting torrential rain? DH has gone out with the car and DD and I are supposed to be walking to a country pub to snare a table before he can get there, but I think I'm going to wait for him to pick us up. Absolutely chucking it down!

Morning all!!!!

I remember going through a fear stage, but mine was definitely in the house - I used to imagine shapes etc in the curtains. I was probably a little bit younger though.

In retrospect, I think that one of the things that added to it was reading books that were too old for my age (because I could and my parents didn't realise they were unsuitable) The ones that stick in my mind were the Roald Dahl books, which I read and unfortunately because I was about 8 believed!!! Of course if you read them as intended aged 11 or 12 they are just a silly story. I really thought that I was going to be kidnapped from my bed by the BFG, however .

Sorry to sound like the Weather Channel but it's snowing now!

Brettgirl - I was given a copy of Mr Tickle when I was 3 and had nightmares for aaages about a long orange arm stretching around corners, up stairs, through doors to tickle me while I slept!

Oh and old Roald Dahl - I got into reading the Tales of the Unexpected when I was about 8 or 9. Very dark indeed!

Books were the least of my problems.
My Dad let me watch stuff like Zombie Flesh Eaters when I was eight.

I've never even heard of Zombie Flesh Eaters! But I did see The Shining at that age which for a long time gave me a major fear of identical twins.

Especially as one of the books tells you that you mustn't talk about it with grown ups or you will definitely be 'got'. It seems funny now, but at the time I still believed in Father Christmas!

I think that parents worry and worry about suitability of TV, films, video games etc but reading books is actually more isolated.

I really think though puzzle that he knew what is was about and would have obviously reassured you. With a book they don't read it themselves.

Right - sunny now so DD and I are going to run while the going is good.

Have a lovely Sunday afternoon everyone.

Afternoon all

Well after a beautiful sunny morning with beach walking and clothes washing, we now have torrential rain and wind (thankfully we got home just in time!!!) and I am now curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea and am contemplating starting a book?! Oh to think if I will be able to be doing this in five weeks time!!

I really wanted my baby today (well actually more a toddler) we were walking along the beaches and all these little toddlers were cycling along the side or being pushed along by their parents! Was so cute!!

Boffin - LOL at hormones!

DH and DD have just got back from their walk thankfully. It's suddenly become very overcast and windy here too.

Ooh torrential rain. DH and DD are now singing Noah's Ark songs.

BB - I found I had lots of time to read while bf'ing. In fact I always hoped the feeds would last forever so I could read another page.

What funny weather! We went to the park this morning expecting to spend the whole day outside in the sunshine but then came home around 2pm in hail and rain.

Boff - I am not a compromise kind of person Are you really not allowed to take babies into your office? How ridiculous. Another health and safety madness surely.

Nutty - Happy Birthday to your DD and hope you're having a lovely time!
