Summer Slatterns - Martha Stewart we are not!

[Alibabaandthe40nappies]

I used your title Alice seeing as the rest of us were to slatternly to even think of anything!!!

Thanks all, I understand the troll thing now!!

Hi CWWM

I really loved that film as a child, partly because I share my name with the main character, don't think I could cut it as a nun thoughn not that she did. I actually think the curtain outfits were lovely, I wonder if my lot would wear a load of redesigned curtains

Whoops!! I have given my name away!!

Is your name Greta? To me she was the star

Doe a dear, a female deer, ray, a drop of golden suuuuuunnnnnnn........

Or my personal favourite ... High on a hill stood a lonely goatheard, yo yo de layheooooo

I am going to train my DD to respond to a whistle, maybe DH too......

Climb every moutain, la,lalala

mountain godammit!

I am more like the captain though and dp is more like Maria !

.

I love the lonely goatherd song! In fact i'm off to youtube it!

My next job!!!

Don't you think yodelling is seriously underated? I think i might learn,

I bet your curtains are not nearly hideous enough to make your kids wear them

I really must go to bed.

Good night ladies

My curtains are a strange satiny material they might make school skirts .

I love lonely goatherd yodellllllllehey .

PLUM I've watched the film so many bloody times, my Dad bought me the video, the soundtrack and would regularly sing 'how do you solve a problem like Maria....' I really started to think I was a problem

My fav song from that film is these are a few of my favourute things!! 'Whiskers on kittens and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with string.......'

I'm off to bed with that song stuck in my head!! I will probably be singing it in my sleep now!!

Night all!!

Ha! I'm back! And you've all gone to bed.

Wasting - glad to see you, send K&A round here next will ya?!!

(oh and btw i am starting to worry about what our neighbours think about our front 'garden' as it's such a state atm. generally round here everyone keeps things immaculate and ours certainly isn't. and we have no good excuse )
We don't have wheelie bins here, just bags, and have about 3 or 4 big bags of recycling sitting outside the front door by rubbish day. I want to get a plastic container box thing to keep them in, seen some in B&Q that look ok, anyone got anything similar?
