December 2008 - Summertime and the children are easy......

[sybsie]

Ha ha ha ha....we wish!

Here's to a lovely relaxing summer and cheery new thread for us all.

[poisondwarf]

Hello! Am I the only one paranoid that it's someone pretending to be you? 😬

Well if it is you, HELLO and great to hear from you. We missed you! If it's not you, sod off 😂

Would love to hear your news - feel free to pm if you feel like catching up - I'm sure we could all arrange something in a heartbeat. Much love pd xxx

Likewise, have not been on here for quite a few years, but this gang has (and continues on FB) to mean a lot. We have all thought of you over the last weeks and months. Kind of fascinating and extraordinary to see who our children are turning into and the delights and challenges of that. Also who we are turning into as we get older!

[Olipop]

Hello!!!
Lovely to see you again!
there’s been a ridiculous amount of growing up going on.

[spotofcheerfulness]

Hello! 👋🏻 lovely to hear from you. And thank you for reviving the thread. I just reanimated my MN account to come and say hi 😊

[Vagolajahooli]

Hey Urbane 👋 . The last time I saw you was at the Cutty Sark, when I had popped back from The Hague for a London visit. I'm back on Australia now. We were just talking about you the other day. I'd be up for a whatsapp chat.

[Old08er]

Urbane! We were cheering you on the other week and all taking about how we wished we could send you a message. You are missed but we regularly chat if FB and occasionally meet.

Isn’t it insane how we all met nearly 16 years ago and now the 08ers are doing GCSEs! I hope you are doing well and if you ever want to catch-up we would love that on WhatsApp or whatever.

(Formerly Artichokes or Aubergines or both)

It’s very good to see you, Urbane. You’ve been on my mind and we all hoped you were doing okay. In fact we talked about how we might possibly beam some support and solidarity your way…Will message. Anyway, I quite agree - O turning 15 has got me quite thoughtful. Sending love to you and to all.

[OakleyStreetisnotinChelsea]

Would happily move to WhatsApp to keep chatting if it gathered up some of our old crowd.

[SummerLightning]

Urbane!! Hello we all still chat on FB. 15 is crazy isn't it!
We were talking about you other day ;-) hope you are doing well. If you want to get in touch I'm sure everyone would be happy to chat on WhatsApp or whatever

[OakleyStreetisnotinChelsea]

It is crazy isn't it! Happy Birthday to all our crew!

[eleanorfalling]

Our Dec 08 baby is 15 today and so was sentimentally thinking of those early days and how much I enjoyed and valued being part of this gang. Made all the difference. I’m not on FB so have really lost touch. But just wanted to shout into the void and say thank you and send love and light and best birthday wishes for all the Dec 08-ers xx (formerly urbane)

here you go - a lovely new new thread for us all. Let's get chatting over there.

Am doing some work. How dull am I. But needs must.

[IAmDeids]

A new thread would be lovely for 2015. It has taken us so long to fill this one too. Let's all make a resolution to post more once the festivities are done and we all get back to a form of 'normality'

[MontserratCaballe]

Happy new year! Should we have a shiny new thread, even though this one is unfinished ?

Love to you all x x

[IAmAPaleontologist]

Morning 2015!

[McKayz]

[TheInvisibleHand]

[MontserratCaballe]

Happy new year and lots of love to you all x x x x

[JustRubes]

Happy 2015 you utterly fabulous bunch xx

[IAmDeids]

Happy New Year lovely ladies! Hope you have a super time whatever your plans. I'm in PJs ready for bed, DH working till 9pm. Rock n roll

To be fair my cousin got married last Saturday and I think I have only just sobered up!! Man I was hammered . Thankfully kids weren't invited so SIL had them and I didn't have yo look after small people. Not sure I can even face a drink tonight...

[IAmAPaleontologist]

I am so officially the shitest poster around.

There. You are back on my threads my lovelies.

[beans39]

Jam, you're magic x

[JamInMyWellies]

Drunk drunk drunk! Love you guys!! Here's to another yr if chat.

[beans39]

Hi all
checking in to say hi. and HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!! Hope you all had a lovely time. we did.

had a sad message from my lovely godmother today, who I'm really close to and stay with quite often. her husband was one of my Dad's best friends and is really an extension of him to me, and he had a massive heart attack on 23rd and is still in hospital. v sad. he's 79 next month, but is so very full of life. I hope he pulls through. he had a small obe a week or so ago, so this is a follow up. it doesn't sound great, but am keeping everything crossed.

on a good note, all 3 DDs have had a ball this year. it was lovely.

[MontserratCaballe]

Merry Christmas to you all and happy birthsay to the Christmas day babies. Thank you so much for my lovely Ss. Skincare and something to read. Perfect.

Am totally stuffed and now beached on sofa waiting for downton to start.
