MrsShrek3 · 19/07/2013 07:21

stars
we also had fawn socks and brown lace ups. like brogues but way less fashionable. and in the eighties when everyone else had kitten heels and stillettos. what a gorgeous combo with the tweed, I must say

Ha ha you lot! I had to wear huge thick navy "regulation school knickers" & a straw boater. Detention if either were not worn on the school bus home for some reason!

MrsShrek3 · 20/07/2013 22:31

starsandunicorns · 20/07/2013 22:48

Wave to mrs shrek hows your weekend

Minimammoth · 20/07/2013 23:25

I am here, though not sure for how much longer. Got the itches. It's been cloudy here today but still hot. We have been being sociable, BBQ with friends, buffet lunch thingy, too many people. Brings out my Inner Recluse.

MrsShrek3 · 21/07/2013 01:01

more antihistamine, mini?
ello stars, how is it going and how is starlet doing?

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 21/07/2013 01:23

Hi all. Hoping not to be here for long; just resettling littlekitty.

We get the keys to our new home on Monday and start moving. Squeaky I really can't wait. So sick if being cramped and the house stinking of cigarette smoke (neighbours fagging outside our open windows) Remember that 6 ring hob I was so excited about?

Cafe my dear, I'm certainly hot of temp but otherwise I believe you give me too much credit How's the big smoke in the heatwave?

Glad starlet has chosen a school.

Poor bumpy mini [itchy emoticon]

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 21/07/2013 01:39

Also, littlekitty counted to two today

20 months- my clever little chops. [proud]

That's all that sesame street, yer see?!

MrsShrek3 · 21/07/2013 01:47

moving... eek!!

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 21/07/2013 05:57

I know, Mrs. The packing one has been hellish this weather.

We have hired a van but no 'removal men'we have no clue how to get the washer dryer into and out of the van. Any ideas? It's that concrete bottom, you see? Just like mine

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 21/07/2013 05:58

Alone that should be, not one

themidwife · 21/07/2013 07:54

Oh no Kitty - you must not move that washer dryer!! Has Mr Kitty got some big burly mates to help with that kind of thing while you sit on a chair in front of a fan directing proceedings? like I did when 4 numpties tried to move our piano

starsandunicorns · 21/07/2013 08:30

lumpymini....hope antihistamine working today and you stop eating naughty stuff
another footy tournament today. ds2 has another excuse to roll round the floor and take all the skin off his knees - his fave pastime. ds1 has a strop on, football is a silly game he says (and he dislikes different and non routine). dd has friends there so she's quite happy. Considering roll of parcel tape for ds1

Minimammoth · 21/07/2013 09:40

Kitty. Car jack, and sack barrow. One of those big professional car jacks though, although maybe not enough room to slide under. Tilt it, slide in sack barrow. Lean it on. Roll it wherever you like. Cover it with blanket or some suck to protect it first. ( I have move many times)

MrsShrek3 · 22/07/2013 04:23

two upchucking children. my life is complete
sigh.
dd was ill yesterday but was on the mend, i stayed with her while ds2 went to footy tournament (and won). I was going to have to be off work with her anyway. So to get in on the Great Skive, ds2 has just joined in. Ds1 had more sense and ran for the hills the grandparents house asap when he knew there were bugs about wise boy.
more sigh.

starsandunicorns · 22/07/2013 06:39

Oh poor you MrsShrek does ds1 have bugout rucksack.

Minimammoth · 22/07/2013 07:57

Oh dear Mrs Shrek. Are you ok?

themidwife · 22/07/2013 09:12

Oh no Mrs!! All you bloody need!!

MrsShrek3 · 22/07/2013 09:59
