My child has a badge that sees ghosts?

Lighthearted!

DS 4, has a badge he calls “birdie friend.” I may post a photo later! It’s a badge with a bird on.

Birdie Friend seems to have the gift of the “sight!” “Birdie Friend says Bob and Rose are here mummy, they like to have tea with us. Bob and Rose are DH’s grandparents who died many years ago.

“Birdie Friend says the men who lived upstairs looked like you mummy when their faces burned off.” We used to live in a former military hospital and I had a sheet mash on my face! The ward upstairs had indeed been a burns/plastics ward!

“Mummy, Birdie Friend says the end is coming soon.”

😂😱😨

I love BF recommending sheep's cheese.

I'm your Birdie Friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I was a sort of believer in Birdie Friend but the '(mmmm prawn curry)' comment sounded too much like a writer.

Are you a writer plombear who is secretly laughing at all of us mumsnet believers?

Another vote for classics!
This thread is both equally educational and hilarious....suffice to say I have shit myself on more than one occasion reading it tooBlush

You actually got on a plane with BF? Have you not heard of risk assessment? Anyhow it’s lovely that he was able, through his ability to negotiate the time/space continuum or whatever, to enhance your museum experience. I guess this is what is meant by the term, ‘Bringing history to life.’

I don’t suppose you could ask if the woman who found my diary and phoned to say she will post it back through my letterbox, is going to keep to her word? This was 2 days ago and as yet no sign of diary/letterbox interface. If he doesn’t know though can you just ask him when SILs birthday is and when I’m due at the dentist. Both next month but can’t for the life of me recall the dates. TIA.

“Birdie Friend says Happy Valentine’s Day mummy, it’s your last one ever.”

Thanks Birdie Friend.

BF has heard that all Hallmark holidays are going to be banned after the end of this year. That’s all.

WalkingWithTheBuffalo · 14/02/2020 21:27

Someone needs to have a word with Birdie friend.

FlamingoAndJohn · 15/02/2020 08:05

Now the problem here is should some tragedy befall the op we would have no way of knowing.

I feel you need to write it into your will to update this thread, op.

WhenOneDoorClosesAnotherOpens · 15/02/2020 08:35

I'm picturing some sort of scene where the sky suddenly goes dark across Wales spreading out to the rest of the UK and death eater type shapes slowly start appearing in the sky when the OP and others start dying off. I'm guessing that will be our sign that 'it' has 'begun'. Shock

At least we have a timeline now and know 'it' will start before Valentine's day 2021.

Samanthadove89 · 15/02/2020 08:58

The storms we have had could be the start 😳😲

DS and BF are standing by the window looking out at the sea.

“The storm is here mummy, BF says this is just the start of The End.”

Time to distract DS with some homemade chocolate brioche!

“The storm is here mummy, BF says this is just the start of The End.”

'The End' of winter maybe? Spring has sprung around here with daffodils everywhere.

SirVixofVixHall · 15/02/2020 11:35

Birdie Friend is terrifying me.

A photo of me and DH on our wedding day fell off the window sill. Probably the wind right?

“Oh mummy, Hepzibah is here, she wants to play!”

Are there just loads of unseen spirits just drifting around our house?

Can you please share the brioche recipe before you go?

I’ll be jolly miffed if I die before getting stuck into my delicious and varied Brexitvirus stash.

Shameless place marking!

magnaconcordia · 15/02/2020 15:06

Place marking too... I need to see what BF says next...

wornoutboots · 15/02/2020 15:51

@Dowser
Tredegar house..another odd place...aleister Crowley was a frequent visitor.

Freesat House in Newport?
The house felt sad, and the out buildings felt happy, but i was terrified near the lake in the grounda like something was going to grab me and drown me. (Haven't been back for about 25 years)

olbndansmummy · 15/02/2020 19:39

Wow @FlamingoAndJohn I was just thinking that! Op please put this in your will. BF is giving me the heebie jeebies

Theroigne · 15/02/2020 19:44

If this is the beginning of the end I’m going to have a few more Thorntons chocs tonight 👹

LookingGlassMilk · 15/02/2020 20:50

Even though I know this is made up, it's still freaking me out!
What role does the storm play in 'the end'? It's just an ordinary winter storm isn't it?
