Norks just saw your question from earlier. We don't have a regular mission but sometimes we do. It often involves cake if we do although one time we all learnt how to fold towels 'properly'.

We are being mocked on another thread, I was quoted and everything

Where are we being mocked?!?! How very dare they!

Who's mocking us??? grrrr.

Ali - i like the name if it was typed with a small p it might be easier to read:
AliBooBaaAndThe40phantoms as it looks a bit like 40P in there. though i like capitals normally

link please!!!

It's a thread in style. A very boring one obviously

Evening all!

My sister is staying with us for the week, and we have a very busy time planned, so I won't be able to post much, but I hope everyone has a happy and productive week. I am so far.

No babies yet?

mentally ill????

See that bit was deleted did someone report it or do mnhq spot these things?

Funny, they don't like our lists but have made their own lists of clothes....

HMHB was thinking the same

HMHB - I have said as much.

Well I don't have:

• a desire to slag other people off for doing their own thing
• a need to poke fun at others for no good reason

...care to add any more?!

(maybe they thought the thread was about cleaning your skirts)
