How's everyone's week been? there have been ups here (night in tent great sucess) and downs (didn't even get interview for job I thought I was perfect for... Sad... oh well).

Today bought water pistols for ds and grampy, very very funny to watch small boy and OAP chasing eachother round the garden, not sure who had most fun.

Last tutorial session tomorrow, and marking last essays, so quieter times are coming (ha ha!)

I have a bottle of homemade elderflower 'champagne' to open, so u are all invited to a glass...

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 05/08/2011 21:51

Diamond is 'lady bits,' Indigo. Or twunt, I suppose.

In BSL you sign happy with flat hands rather than into your thumb iykwim.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 05/08/2011 21:53

OMG, I thought 'happy' (two 'h's) meant, well, happy.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 05/08/2011 21:56

Is Makaton 'happy' back up the thumb?

TheNinjaGooseIsOnAMission · 05/08/2011 21:59

I think so ellen, happy in bsl is much more like a soft clapping. It's all happy one way or the other Grin

alowVeraWithPurpleTwuntyPants · 05/08/2011 22:01

In bsl
H is working hand palm down wiping forwards over supporting hand palm up.

Happy is the reverse movement twice.

Mr tumble signs it towards himself into his sticking up thumb (on supporting hand). Wich is happy in makaton and signalong. Whole different meaning in BSL.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 05/08/2011 22:01

Thanks. How did this become a thread about signing rude words?

intothewest · 05/08/2011 22:02

We do signalong -'Happy' is similar to Makaton

I'm off to sleep folks Goodnight all

alowVeraWithPurpleTwuntyPants · 05/08/2011 22:04

Makaton was designed for users who wouldnt be introduced to the rude terms, so not rude to them. Obviously it means happy.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 05/08/2011 22:04

Do you think Mr. Tumble knows? Yes, I learnt happy as two backwards 'H's. I just blag my way in Makaton.

TheNinjaGooseIsOnAMission · 05/08/2011 22:09

night into

yes, mr tumble knows, was a bit of a hoohaa over it in the early days

alowVeraWithPurpleTwuntyPants · 05/08/2011 22:11

Yes Ellen he does. Was all in the news a while back.

alowVeraWithPurpleTwuntyPants · 05/08/2011 22:11

Night all.

TheNinjaGooseIsOnAMission · 05/08/2011 22:14

night alow

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 05/08/2011 22:14

Night, into, alow. You'd think I'd have heard about Mr. Tumble being a SN mum and signing and all. Thanks for the info.

LollipopViolet · 05/08/2011 22:33

Not great, tbh.

Went to optician, £235 on new glasses.

Sight has improved slightly but been told, again, no hope of ever driving :(

Trying to get photography work but no one wants to give me a chance :(

On the plus side, I've got a blog with a major ice hockey website and they liked my first post :)

Oh, and 67 days til my Cyprus adventure :)

tiredoffightingwithjelly · 05/08/2011 22:37

Much nicer threads on this part of the board! goodnight all :)

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 05/08/2011 22:50

Hi Lollipop. Sorry it's not going that well. At least you've got your holiday to look forward to.

Hi tiredof, has it been horrid in AIBU? You're a bit late tonight, everyone off to bed, I think.

TheNinjaGooseIsOnAMission · 05/08/2011 22:56

holiday sounds good lollipop Smile I have a feeling dd3s glasses are going to be expensive when she's older, I'm not looking forward to that!

iknowhowtosigntwuntybollocks · 06/08/2011 07:13

Good morning all... missed a signing chat cos I went off to bed Sad. Ouch for the expensive glasses lollipop. Shock

Interestingly as BSL is directional which way round you sign the 'lady bits' Grin sign can indicate whether it is your own 'ladybits', or someone elses..
sign also relevant for oral sex Wink

Ben10isthespawnofthedevil · 06/08/2011 07:18
