The Beginning

The Middle

The end?

So... Long story short... There are horses, soon there should not be (I'm not good at summaries, they make me sound unreasonable).

We have a date! This Saturday! The horses should be taken away to pastures new, so we can roam the meadow in gingham dresses (dh looks good in a gingham dress) and we can have FuckYouFestivals to our heart's content.

There will be choirs and drums and bands and weapons and stackable goats and so much more!

Anyone who's read the threads knows I love a lurker. I can you see you out there. Go on, jump in while the thread's all new and shiny. You know you want to Wink

IdaBlankenship · 20/02/2014 20:58

PrinceEnrique did you by chance call me earlier about "the problem with Microsoft on the computer" - please call me back as after serious consideration I can see no problem at all with giving you all my personal details and installing your software .

stag beetles are very sadly very rare now. They used to be quite common, but their numbers dropped catastrophically a while back. My brother's garden used to be completely overrun with them every spring. Huge buggers, all over the place, fighting for their ladies. That was about 20 years ago, and over a period of about 3 years they disappeared.
Sad

(love them...although I do have slightly traumatic memory of said brother chasing me with one when I was young, and I was seriously traumatised by the size of the thing)

Jux · 20/02/2014 22:39

Gosh yes, steppemum, they are enormous!

AuditAngel · 20/02/2014 22:53

After a marathon lasting many days (due to work getting in the way) I have finally waded (oohaahbird -I work in Egham so know your pain) through all three threads.

Chris/Nigeria PND is life sapping, however gingham dress wearing bargain green earring buying Mr Chris is clearly a keeper and you will have good days and bad days. I haven't suffered with either Depression or PND but my best friend does and I have watched her, sometimes swimming, sometimes floating and other times breathing through a snorkel. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, easier now you have yor soon to be wild flower meadow.

I'd love to join IFYF but I don't think I have many useful skills. I'm a good listener, a good cake eater (as long as it isn't coffee flavour) but I think I have fallen in love with you all over the last few days.

Keep up the good (horse free field) work.

IamtheZombie · 21/02/2014 01:04

Zombie fucking LOVES this thread! Grin Grin Grin

PedantMarina · 21/02/2014 05:44

OK, a classic symptom of insanity is referring to oneself in the third person.

zombie, I suspect you're in (although that's really up to FYC).

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 21/02/2014 07:43

Zombie isn't insane! She's the lovely public face of the undead! Grin

IamtheZombie · 21/02/2014 12:18

Zombie explains all here Pedant.

PedantMarina · 21/02/2014 13:18

Awww, Zombie! I think I'd seen some of that before (definitely remember somebody splitting up whilst on holiday! Shock), but hadn't put two and two together and come up with [the number of most people's] limbs. See what I did there...

Anyway, I wasn't insulting Zombie! Insane is what we need. More of.

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 21/02/2014 13:43

Hello AuditAngel, Hello Everybod Brew anyone?

Hah! I see there's been a semi imposter attaching himself to my name. Nowt to do with me squires and I strongly suggest Ida that you don't press any keys or hand over any bank details to unsolicited callers. Be safe people.

Zombie I've just read your thread and near welled up. You keep on rockin' that vibe.

Chris, how's the field doing? any chance of it drying out a bit yet?

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 21/02/2014 13:49

Definitely need the insane. Anyone who thinks stackable goats aren't a good idea probably wouldn't enjoy FYF.
How are we all today?

Jux, we never had stag beetles in my yoof. Wrong area for them. I was so excited when I first saw one - and that was after they were rare.

Autoharp looks perfect, and I'm very relieved you can cope with rain.

Ida, dh loves a good sea shanty. He doesn't know many but by god is he enthusiastic.

Zombie Grin I fucking love this thread too!

Saggy, she certainly is.

Steppe I'm so jealous of ever having seen loads of them.

Prince Enrique I am fascinated by your offer, but shouldn't you be promising us money?!

Audit angel, that's a very good analogy. That's exactly what it's like. I'm glad you made it through to the end of the threads :) welcome to the world of FYF. It's a magical place. With the most lovely people in it.

A good listener is a fantastic skill. I'll bend your ear around the campfires and we'll put the world to rights

FuschiaChrisAndNigeria · 21/02/2014 13:54

Enrique, I am most sad that you are no longer wanting to entertain my most safe and reliable of offers! If I have offended your bosom I am most sad. This was not my intentions. I have found a great love for you grow in my chest since our communicationing has started.

Please be accepting all my sorries. My heart is heavy with the weight of this sadness. God bless.

mistlethrush · 21/02/2014 13:58

FuschiaChris - you might want to go along to one of the MN bra-intervention threads to help with your bosom and chest problems.

FuschiaChrisAndNigeria · 21/02/2014 14:02

Will they be helping with the aching in my chest, Mistle? Will they make this love I have for Enrique's gentle soul be less? Because I am growing a love like no other. And it pains me to be apart from her :(

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 21/02/2014 14:43

Who said I was a her?
mwah ha ha hah haaaaa Grin

mistlethrush · 21/02/2014 14:44

I do believe that they can sometimes benefit an aching chest, yes. Wink

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 21/02/2014 14:49

Mistle Grin

Enrique, indeed. A terrible assumption to have made Grin

Jux · 21/02/2014 16:03

FuchsiaChris, I am sure that wearing the wrong size is very damaging indeed and will result in great pain.

steppemum · 21/02/2014 16:39

Laughed out loud at recommending the mn bra intervention threads to fuschia chris...

mistlethrush · 21/02/2014 16:59

I think that UW will have to have them recommended to her too... clearly in pain otherwise she wouldn't be so unreasonable. Perhaps a well-fitting bra would results in a complete change in character? Grin

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 21/02/2014 18:05

Mistle that could explain everything Shock next time I see UW I shall walk up to her, put on a sympathetic face and say, "I know why you're so upset. It's your boobs. It explains everything"

OP posts:
MrsNutella · 21/02/2014 18:43

I can't wait to hear about an awesome bra intervention being carried out on UW! Smile

I think I may have to send DS and DH with the beer, wurst and pretzels (the real kind.... Yummy) without me to FYF. I have no problem with goats normally but I found their smell at the zoo yesterday too much for my poor pregnant nose Shock Confused
Of course DS (who is a slim normal height 13 month old) thought that the ones in the petting area were awesome and ran towards them shrieking and flinging his arms up. He got a little nervous when they then crowded round him poor little man.

But please, don't let them bring any goats or goaty smelling clothing back with him!

PedantMarina · 21/02/2014 19:34

I think UW would probably deck anybody who tried. FFS, it's right there in the name. FYC, strongly suggest you don't try.

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 21/02/2014 20:47

Oh dear end of week fatigue has done for me and I can't keep up with who we all are and what we think we're all up to.
I too am very aroma sensitive, although not pregnant, so I could keep you company Mrs N and defend you from the goats.

By the way, DH has suggested that I was BU in my lat post and has even suggested a strategic withdraw of my non-horse scarf if I don't apologize for being mean.
Darn him and his lack of green earrings.
