Hello to all you #frothers
Thought I'd take the liberty of starting us a nice new thread as the other is getting rather full. :)

No you don't need to go on Twitter.

Get yourself over to the blog for a read: toomanycuts.blogspot.com

or Facebook if that's your thing: www.facebook.com/frothers

or just hang out here!

Evening all! I've been away for the last couple of days, definitely not frothing but Christmas shopping in Le Touquet . I'm so impressed with what's happened in such a short time.

The blog looks brilliant, and the link to your MP box is a great idea.

Will have a proper read later.

(And welcome, Hully!!!)

Kate I'm under 25 - exposure to the internet on my developing brain means I skim + code unusually effectively. Got to be about the only good thing about being under 25 when everyone young (or elderly or single parenting or disabled or female) is being totally shafted! Wink

KateMiddIeton · 06/12/2011 18:10

Oooh get you BIWI! Sounds vair flash Grin

Hullygully · 06/12/2011 18:11

What did you get me?

A nice quill pen?

KateMiddIeton · 06/12/2011 18:12

Ah you see I have just turned 30 Te. This means I am no longer able to assimilate information at any kind of speed.

It also means my mother buys me Boden handbags I don't want for my birthday Sad

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 06/12/2011 18:17

On the plus side you can always sell them on eBay for a tidy sum...

FontSnob · 06/12/2011 18:22

I'm tiiiiired okay, am hoping dd will stay asleep tonight and I can get stuff done.

What's for dinner frothers? Anything good? Dh away and I cant be arsed to cook. Humpf.

TeWiharaMeriKirihimete · 06/12/2011 18:31

Dominoes just opened in our town. Please don't tell me dominos are evil - it would break my tiny pizza craving heart!

'Right. I've now got a stupid bastard gmail thing THANK YOU dearestr Katie.

How do I sign in to the bog? It keeps telling me to start a new one...'

I was tempted to say by writing on the toilet roll...But I shan't, Hully - because it took me longer than you to work out all this techy stuff. .

I'm just having a quick catch up before I go and stand on a soggy, freezing cold football field for the best part of 2 hours to raise money for DD's best friend. It's the ONLY time you will EVER hear of me watching 22 people kick around a bag of air. It's for charideeeeee.

I will froth some more soon, but am having a few days rest due to RL getting in the way. Keep up the good work, and keep frothing!!

blackoutthexmaslights · 06/12/2011 18:44

found this on twitter, it makes no sense to me but could be useful to someone who isn't as thick as me

For those who want to ask questions to the shadow Education Sec #askTwigg is trending at the moment

CardyMow · 06/12/2011 18:51

Will have a read through that tonight when I get back. Have to go now!

KateMiddIeton · 06/12/2011 18:52

Will have a look at links in a bit.

We're getting a few more follows on FB since the AIBU thread so if you get a chance to bump please do.

Have not managed to achieve my Aim of getting Ed Balls attention - but I will keep trying.

Tried to draft a blog post about cuts to services for disabled children last night but got no-where. I really am not a writer.

Have been spreading the #frothers message as much as I can though (I am SV on twitter)

MincePieFlavouredVoidka · 06/12/2011 18:55

add this on twitter

What about finding some more of these and posting the blog site on there? It cant hurt?

MincePieFlavouredVoidka · 06/12/2011 19:01

No Cuts for Kids

Its a campaign to stop the closure of SureStart Centres.

KateFrothers · 06/12/2011 19:22

Am on phone so can't see links v well but just wanted to say we have hit 100 fans on Facebook!

AnnieLobeseder · 06/12/2011 19:44

Less frothing today and more whimpering. Between the cuts, my recent feminist awakening and a ongoing argument with an old friend on another political issue, plus not nearly enough sleep last night, I'm am feeling all frothed out and am retiring to bed with chocolate. Sad
