Ha ha - I do have a strong jaw & long wavy hair but it's highlighted blonde (naturally mousy) & I never wear a uniform because I'm a hippy community midwife. Hope I have a kind face Smile

Midwife99 · 01/03/2013 10:49

Grin Dad - fat fingers too!!

SummerDad · 01/03/2013 10:57

Afternoon all didnt make thread last night as busy reporting spam threads first time I ever reported something so kind of did it a few times hehe.

Kitty the rabbit still has no name but am such dd2 will name her. Yes I was in the army from the age of 17 1/2 and served 5years. Did Germany and Begluim uk and nearly thr 1st gulf in 1990 very scary when you are only 18 and 4mths old.

Have 2 dd dd1 will be 18 in 20 days though dont see have contact am on maryz threads for truobled teenagers for her and dd2 is 15 but lives with her dad again maryz thread v v v compliacted.

I aslo have dafty dog who is a resuse dog whippet/ corgi cross who is bright ginger!

Vintage shop is Afflecks in manchester and is a warehouse of 4floors with diff shops I go round with her feeling old seeing stuff I used to wear I saw a t shirt with The laas on fgs !! Plus loads of C and A shirts. Though dd2 got a fur coat from my sister which is old and made in london!! and she lives in it.

Dd2 is tall skinny ( in high wind I hold her hand so she doesnt blow away) hair is back combed to a inich of it life and is normaly wider than her and has scouse brows!

Supportive vibes to all

Midwife99 · 01/03/2013 16:06

Oh yes Stars - I'm on Maryz thread too but didn't click who you are!! Blush

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 01/03/2013 16:40

stars I knew you were going to say Afflecks! I should have guessed then you would have been really impressedGrin. I was a Quiggins girl myself, back in its heyday of the 90s. Ah many a 6th form Saturday spent hanging round Quiggs in docs, striped tights and an Indian cotton skirt, buying men's waistcoats and mooning over bowler hats well out of pocket money reach. I'm now a proud owner of a glorious bowler of course. Grin Oh those were the days

My husband bought his wedding tie and proper button braces (vintage of course) from Afflecks.

I'm sorry to hear about the situation with your daughters; I didn't mean to pry. I hope things become less complicated Smile

starsandunicorns · 01/03/2013 20:08

Waves to midwife ( and wants to know why I didnt get a hippy midwife I got on that was very 1950's )

Kitty she loves it 3 hours is her record in there my poor cashcard is worn out lol we got dps parents dinning room carpet at xmas when they decorted and placed in the spare room where dd sleeps she loves it dp says they got it in 1980 !!

Dp is collecting her at train station at min all her trains were on time for once I panic when she travels 2 1/4 hours once it took her 5 hours. Have made homemade cauliflour cheese tonight for her as she has gone veggie

I say goodnight as wont get on later we need a new thread [grins]

cafecito · 01/03/2013 20:15

sorry to hear DD sick kitty

stars wow to what you did in the army - enormous wow to that

vintage? I used to live in vintage clothes, lived off portobello for years. Loving image of kitty with dark curls, 50s clothes and an adorable DD, possibly red lipstick, making cupcakes...like a kinder version of Dita von Teese

kitty and midwife mix the two descriptions of me together (pontepine styley) and that is me. I am small, younger then 29, dark hair green eyes. I just googled arabella weir - not far off!! (kitty's synesthesia & psychic senses are impressive!!!) drunken slimey men tend to shout 'angelina', colleagues have said nigella. I think arabella is about right. hair often loosely tied up and bag always far too big midwife!

cafecito · 01/03/2013 20:19

yes why didn't I get a midwife like midwife!? Grin

have a nice weekend stars

jynier- I don't like chat all that much either, but think this thread may be better in chat (simply because it gets deleted after 3 months)

cafecito · 01/03/2013 20:22

is it terrible I had to google roger daltry as well Blush

Grin

kitty excellent DOB there for DD! DS is 10.01.10 Grin and DD's full of 2s and 8s

midwife I have 'got into' the number 10 recently as well Grin but only in an attempt to curb my number thing, ie, 9 + 1 = the end of 9

Confused
kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 01/03/2013 21:12

Very chuffed that I'm right about Arabella, cafe Grin. That's exactly how I imagine you when you say you are dancing around the library in your woolies at 3 am or falling asleep on the tube Grin

Apparently I'm wrong about summerdaltry, I mean dad so don't all go imagining him like that or he will probably fall out with me.

So who would play you in a movie dad?

You've pretty much nailed me there cafe although post-baby my body is more Miss Immodesty Blaize (now there's a google for you) than Dita but I'm on my way back slowly. One of my friends calls me Dita though. So an extended breast-feeding, washable nappies, scratch cooking, cheescake pinup Wink . Now there's a niche market Grin

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 01/03/2013 21:24

oh no that sounded like I was being derogatory towards Miss Immodesty Blaize Blush I didn't mean to. I'm somewhere in between but much prefer being roundy. Zaftig in Yiddish. Wink

cafecito · 01/03/2013 21:38

I was gong to put a 'more rounded' version Grin but didn't want to appear derogatory myself Grin you sound rather delicious yourself kitty!

cafecito · 01/03/2013 21:57

just googled Immodesty Blaize! wowzers kitty Grin keep with the BFing Grin

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 01/03/2013 22:07

awww shucksBlush . Thanks cafe Wink

You sound rather yummy yourself Dr Arabella Wink

starsandunicorns · 02/03/2013 00:13

Hope you all are tucked up in bed me n dd are cooking ! Yes at midnight we having some friends round tommrrow night so making a dessert tonight as tommorow after shopping we making pasta and aubergine bake ( sausage cassrole for two non veggie eaters) and for after we got summerfruit clafoutis !!!

Already made a load of rataouille for dd to take back.
Dd did it all I just watched ( behind closed eyes when shes chops veg ) Dessert takes a hour to cook and its not in the oven yet.

Midwife99 · 02/03/2013 02:55

Kitty I'm fancying you already Blush if only I wasn't totally hetero!!

Midwife99 · 02/03/2013 02:56

Also Cafe - I hope I am THE midwife!! Grin

Midwife99 · 02/03/2013 02:57

Plus YES Dita!!!! Wink

cafecito · 02/03/2013 03:09

THE midwife! I sense a potential documentary series ch4, with a mean theme tune..

cafecito · 02/03/2013 03:13

I should be either in bed, working, or massively tidying up.

I am instead, watching'the good wife' on my laptop and eating chocolate

I also rather stupidly emailed the same guy person back twice once 2 days ago once today, because I can't work my ipad thing, and I didn't realise it had sent before. he will think I like him a leeeeetle bit too much. facepalm moment.

hope are people are sleeping!

cafecito · 02/03/2013 03:14

*other people are...

[clearly, past optimal functioning level]

cafecito · 02/03/2013 03:14

but hey, this chocolate is fabulous. worth staying up for Grin
