I forgot Colin Firth but it's too late: he'll just have to be an illicit affair. Ho hum.

Robbie Williams
Enrique Iglasias
Marti Pellow
Usher
Matt Cardle (this years X Factor)

No gingerpig? Or is that too close to home!
One of my diminutive friends really has a thing for Robbie Coltrane. She still does although the association with Hagrid has dampened her ardour a bit

Colin Firth is mine, I said him first:) Notice our partners arent on the list, wonder why??Felt awful all day, had 5 xs 12yr olds here, the boys were ok, but Becca and her friend I am beginning to wish I hadnt promised the Halloween party on Sun, H will be on his way to hospital he wouldnt be able to put up with it if he was here. Trouble is I do these things because
a I did them for Matthew
b I feel guilty that we havent even had a day out this week c I want them to remember these things when they grow up. Trouble is I am now 18 years older than when I last did a party for Matthew and his friends, and I feel it. Feeling sorry for my Mum tonight, she doesnt know yet but her last very old friend(my Dads best friend) died last Sun on the eve on his 90th b/day. She met him when she was 5, I think secretly they have always had a soft spot for each other. She married Dad but they were all the best of friends, used to go to Blackpool together every year. When my lovely Dad died in 2000 he was heartbroken, always saw him sitting on a bench in Deal and he would say, "I miss your bloody Dad, never a finer man walked on this earth, my old mate". He developed dementia in the last 2 years and would often phone my mum, sometimes 3/4 times a night asking where my Dad was..........its sad. My Mum is now the last of all the family and all their old friends................sad:(

Oh Trips - how sad. I like the Blackpool thing though. Blackpool is so much fun....tacky, always raining but, everybody I know has fond memories of going there as youngsters.

Ginger Pig in my list? No, No, No....never in a month of Sundays. He broke my heart in two...that was just the first time it had been broken...have added to it over the years. I would love to have a look at him now IF he didnt know I was doing it.

Manchester opened my eyes. It made me realise that 35 years ago I worked there - I worked hard and worked long hours and I had lovely clothes and I was intelligent....it made me realise that for the last 18 years I have been AWOL....absent without leave....from the World. I looked at all the people in Manchester and envied them....and, yes, I am sure that many of them had suffered bereavement and disappointment....but I felt totally ALONE in several thousand people. My only ambition of the day was to see my fairly shy DS4 enjoy the company of what I think will be 'his first love.'

WOOHOOOOOOO!!!!

HUUUUGE mammarys CONGRATULATIONS HOOCHIE!

OH well done you!!!!

That is wonderful news!

The support I get when I was getting feeding established with the boys was priceless; so, so important and helpful. So pleased there is going to be more of that brilliant support around!

(Also, can I have a moment to preen a bit? I got to 10 months ebf the boys (then sadly had to stop as I had to start nasty bf-incompatible arthritis drugs but that's another story)) and you guys were so fab and supportive with such good advice when I was struggling at the start. Thank you!)

Morning girls xx

Well done Momma xxx

I should have stayed in my little bubble Momma.....Manchester was so weird. It used to be a big part of my life. It highlighted all the stuff that makes me anxious. We are always broke - because despite what many people think (including our current government), being on benefits means (for us at least) being totally broke 99% of the time. Having to juggle stuff about and worrying constantly. I wandered around the streets, people watching!!! Watched them spending money and I was so envious I was ashamed of myself.

Even Primark was off my limits ROFL!!

right, onwards and upwards...good times will come back - of that I am sure!! We have a fantastic family and thats all that matters !

I will be fine - just a bit down in the dumps!

Conversation with the Halifax a couple of minutes ago!!

Me: We have a £15 charge thats going to be taken out of our account on the 4th November. Can it be taken out on the 11th instead?

Bank: No, thats not possible.

Me: But if you take that charge out that day that will totally mess up the account and we will, more than likely, get another charge.

Bank: There's nothing we can do Madam.

Me: Oh thank you so much for your understanding nature and for helping me so much this morning.

Bank: Not a problem Madam.

Me: You stupid prat - that was called sarcasm!

Right...head up, shoulders back - lets see what else today would like to throw my way.

I hate the Halifax too Shabs. Blooming useless.

What happened Rubes?
Well done Momma!

And Trips - you can have Colin, but only after I have finished with him...

A very late good evening girls, though in fact its good morning! Just had lovely evening with my two friends from Denamrk, over here for 24 hours! Lovely supper and too much wine cooked by moi...........The Dane is delightful.......handsome, accent to die for.....with a twinkle in his eye.............ahhhhhhhh.......he can be after Colin though DH made the most of this evening, 3/4 bottle of red to himself plust the g&ts before hand, will all stop on Mon. I wouldnt touch a drop if I was having liver surgery, but I cant say anything. Loved the scary photos Shabs, theyll eat him alive.......14??
I know what you mean about Manchester Shabs, I feel the same when I go up to London, its alive, women swish past in their boxy jackets and boots, phones to their ears, everyone rushing up and down knowing were they are going, me window shopping wishing I was young again to join them, remembering the days when I needed a diary!! Will they feel the same in 30 years time?? I wonder.

Still wide awake.......................will turn out the light and attempt to get to sleep............need my strength for Mothers tomorrow!! Kale Nits xx

Morning girls xx

Morning!
Well Done Momma
Well Done Highlighterpen
Roobes? Is you MIL still alive? Voodoo doll still intact?
Trips, I hope you have a strong day and a fab party Good luck
Shabs, don't ever feel lonely. You are fab. I love living in my dorset shell and get quite the same in cities or visiting friends-with-wealthy-husbands. I have gay London friends who looked at me in disbelief when I didn't know the name of some posh designer. I gave them a just picked (and therefore free) wild mushroom and asked them to identify it. They got the point. Different worlds and different skills. Your skills are much more practical and are used everyday.

Anyone else need anything on their sticker chart?

Im recovering from my mid week ordeal!! I had such great dreams when I was about 16 - I was going to be a journalist - I had decided LOL. I met up with an old school friend a few years ago....we hadn't seen each other for about 30 years. She told me that I was voted the least likely to get married and have children {shock] and the most likely to have a brilliant career. Funny how life takes us on a merry dance isin't it?

When people say - when asked about their lives - 'have you any regrets?' they always say 'No regrets at all.' I have never, ever understood that - I am an optimistic person nearly all the time but I have hundreds of regrets???
