Ha ha Stropps, good on her! DS2 is similar…note, he's planning his outfit the night before Shock Shock Shock

CV Ahhh….actually fb is full of friends showing photos of their littleys in their new (over sized) secondary blazers. Good luck to her!

All mine are now back. DD this morning, in to year 10..I can't believe it. I always get that back to school feeling with her more that I did with the boys. She's so much more vulnerable, but she went off very happily, thank heavens. MI how's yours getting on?

MrsS hope you're coping. Sending Thanks

Tilly 50's are the new whatever… sent you wishes on fb!!

bigTillyMint · 03/09/2014 09:46

Beachy, DS goes into Y9 tomorrow - I am praying his (age 16!) trousers are still long enough as he is now 5'10"!

Thanks for the birthday wishes - am at work, but no DC here and DH is taking me out for dinner in town tonight!

Rosebag · 03/09/2014 09:53

Back on S&B trivia….do you reckon this comes up longish? ( hoping the model's about 6ft…)

motherinferior · 03/09/2014 09:59

Happy Birthday BTM!!!!!

Dropped DD2 off at school. She has just discovered that the reason I nagged her to read the book they were issued with is they will have to "discuss" it. I reckon she'll be speed-reading tonight. Grin

Happy Birthday BTM Flowers

Good luck to all the freshers today!Tardis

cremolafoam · 03/09/2014 10:14

Very nice jacket Rose- it does look long, but could end up boxy iykwim. looks like you'll have to test drive it.

Have been browsing The Baltic bar menu

lalsy · 03/09/2014 10:16

Happy Birthday BTM! Have a good time tonight.

That's great about dd, Stropps. Good luck to her and all other starters today.

ds went into yr 11 this morning. Last night, he stared at me bewildered when I said are you ready for tomorrow? Grin.

lalsy · 03/09/2014 10:18

I lurve Baltic, but my memory is the bar area is quite small and little tables for 2/3 people?

Blackduck · 03/09/2014 10:44

Happy Birthday BTM.....

I have no idea if ds got off okay - no pics on FB and aside from the paniced 'where's my tie' and 'do I wear the white shirt' call at 7.50 I have heard nothing.......

BUT Crepeys I got a BATH last night Grin

QueenQueenie · 03/09/2014 10:51

My memory of the Baltic bar is very hazy - I went there in my previous incarnation as a kick ass lawyer and drank industrial quantities of different flavoured vodka shots... Shock

Stropperella · 03/09/2014 10:53

Oh Happy Bathday for yesterday, BD Grin

I am a bit concerned that dd will come back in a huge temper and change her A choices if she finds out she has the "wrong" teachers. Pls oh pls oh God of Timetabling, let her not have the maths teech she had in Y10 (who is actually perfectly fine, but she felt he thought she was "thick" - actually she was just being difficult) and, even more pls oh pls, let her have the super-fantabulous French teacher that she had last year. Both pleas somewhat unlikely to be met, but hey.

Stropperella · 03/09/2014 10:55

I can totally imagine you kicking a lot of asses, QQ. Grin

bigTillyMint · 03/09/2014 11:09

Thanks for the birthday wishes - DH is coming along soon with cake and drinks for me to celebrate with my lovely work colleagues!

Stropps, DD and her mates are insisting on going into school on Friday (they are not back till the 20-something due to work experience) to get their timetables to see who they have and they intend to complain if the teachers are not up-to-scratchShockGrin

QQ, I can imagine you as a kick-ass lawyer downing shots!

Cremo, maybe we could meet in there in the afternoon for vodka shots and mosey along to Wahaca for dinner?!

I like the jacket RoseSmile

Blackduck · 03/09/2014 11:25

Stropps Confused
no birthday here.....

Stropperella · 03/09/2014 11:45

heh heh BD - I said Happy BATH-day Grin

beachyhead · 03/09/2014 11:51

We are not concentrating on the Thread Title Ladies.....

Crispy Crepey Leaves are falling.
Cob Nut Crepeys
Going crepey Brown gracefully
Nip in the Crepey Air

Please add more.

hattymattie · 03/09/2014 12:18

I like Forever Crepeys suggested by Crem but could also be tempted by crispy Crepeys leaves.Smile

Blackduck · 03/09/2014 12:48

ahhh... (should put my bloody glasses on...)

motherinferior · 03/09/2014 13:05

The Crepes are falling from the trees?

But otherwise I too like Forever Crepey.

CointreauVersial · 03/09/2014 13:07

Not Cob Nuts (I'm allergic...!). I like the sound of Crispy Crepeys. Makes me think of Krispy Kreme donuts.Blush

And Many Happy Returns, BTM, you old codger. Have a lovely day.

Keep your fingers firmly crossed for good weather on Saturday, crepeys. I have been organising another Company Fun Day to fundraise for the little daughter of one of our Directors (still doing well with her leukaemia treatment, touch wood). BBQ, Bouncy things, and general outdoorsy-ness are the order of the day....I will not look forward to huddling in the scout hut if it rains.

addle · 03/09/2014 13:12

Happy Birthday BTM - lovely pic of you from your party on FB!

So sorry about your uncles, Mrs S. You really have had a shit year.

Just took delivery of a wheelchair for my Ddd as he hasn't been out for about 2 months but it turned out he thought he would be able to get about under his own steam in it so he's completely lost interest. But he just gets more miserable/smokey/drinking, sitting in his flat. not to mention the lack of trousers and personal grooming.

Forever Crepeys good by me too.

bigTillyMint · 03/09/2014 13:18

Mmmm, Krispy Kremes!

Have just gorged on cake and prosecco after lovely colleagues sang me Happy Birthday, etcSmile And thanks Addle!

Fingers crossed, CV - forecast is good for here ATM.

Get that title sorted!

cremolafoam · 03/09/2014 13:46

we have just made the most delicious Blackberry Crumble cake. it is gorge.
Basically cake, layer of blackberries, layer of crumble. So moreish.

and now a quiet moment of quiet reflection, with Mr J. Keats:

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.

Ode to Crepeys perhaps?

Blackduck · 03/09/2014 13:53

Like ode to crepeys...
