I used to think that I was a good writer. But, since joining MN, I have to face the sad realisation that this is untrue. If I comment on a thread, it dies, and if I start a thread, no one answers! I give up. I know I am a good reader, I will stick to that from now on....

Oops hit Post too fast.

Blue sounds like a fab holiday. Its the Costa del Backgarden for us this year.

Thank you Vix for the tips!

I'm going off for a cry now. Don't mind me!

I was really worried about chickenpox as well, but no scars remain.

I met a celeb recently! A big one, world famous British designer. Not saying who. But I was so ashamed of my work mates- all sensible women in their forties, shouldering and hand-bagging in to get a photo.

Do you read the mumsnet chat roundups?

One of the twins friends is over- he has ADHD and dyspraxia, and is sweet, but requires close supervision so I can't write much

I have mentioned before how I want one more baby. But DH admitted it is not solely the MC that has him scared, also the number of children with special needs we spend time with makes him think we have it easy with our three

They are busy making ice cream sundaes now so I am going to work on keeping up the thread for a few minutes

Not saying who the celeb is as that may "out" me, and I did out myself before on a previous threadkilling name

Ha, now this thread is most active, but I don;t think it should count when the OP is writing consecutive posts- it feels like cheating- reminds me of Woody Allen, "What's wrong with masturbation? It's sex with someone who loves me!" What is wrong with posting consecutive random statements- it is corresponding with someone who loves me

658- I will do till 600- the kids are laughing maniacally- even saying "Maniacle laugh! Maniacle laugh!" I might regret those sundaes- sugar induced rush

ZenOfPetals · 02/06/2013 12:32

660 I mean. How do you spell maniacle laugh?

ZenOfPetals · 02/06/2013 12:35

Oh, now all I have to do is overtake "Who is fucking who?" thread to be the most most active! Now the children are outside throwing a big soft exercise ball at each other

Hanging out for 666 :)

VixZenFenchell · 02/06/2013 12:43

And (((RoomieHugs))) it's ghastly when Small Ones are poorly.

Got 3 blinds up today. 2 ready for tomorrow, no pictures yet though I did unpack a few. We got sidetracked watching The Avengers and eating chocolate so not an entire waste of a day :)

VixZenFenchell · 02/06/2013 12:45

Yay! 666, I can go to sleep now. (23:45, kids will be up in 6h..)

ZenOfPetals · 02/06/2013 12:47

Watching a film of Valley of the Dolls, I remember when the book came out that my Mum forbade me to read it.

(and eating a toblerone before starting on amazingmumof6's plan tomorrow)

amazingmumof6 · 02/06/2013 19:51

what a strange challenge this thread is.

I'm already thinking that I like you all so much that I really don't want to stop at 1000!

Am I on my own in thinking that it would be nice to do carry on and start a new thread (I can do it and link it) just before this fills up?

(around 980 or so)

all for it stand up and say "AYE"! Grin

amazingmumof6 · 02/06/2013 19:52

AYE!

amazingmumof6 · 02/06/2013 19:52

I do have friends in RL, I promise.

but this is just so much fun I don't want to stop

amazingmumof6 · 02/06/2013 19:53

I think I have commitment issues.

I commit TOO much.Grin

amazingmumof6 · 02/06/2013 19:53
