Maybe a change will be good for him though richtea. In hindsight I think my ds would have benefited from doing sixth firm elsewhere. He almost felt too familiar with the school and I think fell back on former 'glory'. A new environment might have shaken things up a bit.

We've had loveyl weather this week despite the forecast which was rain all week - been ot and sunny every day until today, but it's still warm despite the rain. pix wanted to let you know though, that there are roadworks on the a30 between launceston and Bodmin, so if you can, come off at launceston, info from my friend I'm going to see who lives near Padstow ... She said to avoid it if I could ...

DS's now finished nursery. I made a complete tit of myself crying. I'm not reading the notes from staff right now, it's too much.

DS completely unbothered and is licking chalk off the chalkboard (well I do worry he doesn't get enough calcium )

icemistOBE · 20/08/2015 20:02

I think BA might be in London....

Hello! I was wondering if it was possible to join you lovely ladies? I have spent a while googling to try and find an avenue for my CJ/BA/our girl/fab fiction obsession and Google has led me here. I recently had a baby and the night feeds have allowed me to read pretty much all of the threads (a lot of night feeds ;-) ) reading has kept me sane over the last few months and was hoping you wouldn't mind another obsessed our girl fan even though the group is very established?

I joined one of the our girl anonymous Facebook pages recently but it was a little odd.... Apologies to anyone on it!

Anyway I'll finish saying hello with one of my fav pics :-)

Hi Maddie Moo
I'm back from hols in wifi free land and celebrating dept's GCSE results with a glass of prosecco
richtea, it's worth talking to school - there's generally more leeway with the school you are already at. Wanting A or A* is quite a high requirement. Most would let you do A level with a B. Good luck

Hello maddie, lovely to have you join us, welcome! Have you just read the last few threads, or before that? Some of us were on the OGA page a while back, but I'm not sure if anyone still is (I like it better on here probably shouldn't say it, but you are allowed, ok, encouraged! to have your own opinion on here ... Ohh, lets put the cat among the pigeons! ). Lovely picture :)

MaddieMoo82 · 20/08/2015 20:44

Thank ok both for the welcome. Ooh didn't mean to offend. God I'm a nightmare coming with my big gob :-/

MaddieMoo82 · 20/08/2015 20:47

*thank you! Not thank ok

Welcome Maddie. Wow breastfeeding AND CJ, that's quite the hormonal overload. I wish I'd known about ff in the years and years of night feeds DS put me through.

Congrats aspara well deserved I'd say. I agree A or A* is a very high bar for A level maths (I have zero ability in maths, I have to take off my socks to count to 20).

Nickel45 · 20/08/2015 21:00

You didn't say anything to offend :) (I probably did, but hey ho, I'm on holiday!!!)

My wifi is working tonight so gonna catch up on ff .... So excited!!

pixieg1rl · 20/08/2015 21:00

What's your BA intel ice?

cjwoofwoof · 20/08/2015 21:06

Woohoo! a new recruit - massive welcome maddie enjoy the ride as I always say to Manu

At least you have the excuse your hormones are all over the shop hence your CJ obsession. I'm at the other end of the ovarian spectrum with a Big Birthday coming up next week Sad but have to say I could probably still compete with you on the big bazookas stakes, much to Manu's delight except mine swing somewhere at shin level these days, (even more Sad )

icemistOBE · 20/08/2015 21:09

A tweet pixie, from another London based actress.

Meant to say too- lovely pic maddie

Thanks for he advice aspara and well done to your department. I didn't go for bubbles but settled for a standard triple G&T.

Welcome maddie well done for reading back through the MN threads. We were bonkers when the episodes were airing (well still are!)

ice have you seen a tweet re BA and his location, or have you managed to get a MI5 tracking devise on him :). I can get a train into central London in 20 mins....I'll be there!!!

pixieg1rl · 20/08/2015 21:10

Don't fret woof between my saggy boobs and my slanket (pressed into action tonight), my knees are lovely and warm

pixieg1rl · 20/08/2015 21:11

Damn, I hoped you'd got whiff of him having a meeting with TG ice

cjwoofwoof · 20/08/2015 21:11

PS maddie despite what ice just said, I think you'll find orph really is quite mad - thank God she's got me to keep her zany ideas on an even keel on the whole Grin I mean, who would ever dream of being Poldarks horse to blag a daily ride? Totally absurd Blush

Richtea19 · 20/08/2015 21:13

Sorry just seen your post!

pixieg1rl · 20/08/2015 21:17

As an aside, I made some lovely syllabubs at the weekend, good wrist action needed to whisk them into a lovely stiff creamy peak. I gobbled it down too quickly and got terrible indigestion though

icemistOBE · 20/08/2015 21:20

Just glad I got the equipment out if the bunker before it collapsed last week Wink

Hi Maddie lovely to have new members. Please feel free to join the madness. All opinions welcome here and no one tears anyone to shreds except in jest!

Still feeling a bit password paranoid and feeling I will need to be a member of Mensa to remember mine.

Well done to your DS on the GCSE results richtea - they sound pretty good to me. Nothing wrong with some good solid B's and C's. I'm sure your son will do very well with his A level studies. After all by the time he takes them we will still be discussing Series 2 of OG!!

Feeling a bit annoyed with my dog tonight. Just when my kids reached the age of keeping themselves to themselves the dog has taken over behaving like a toddler all the time. His favourite habit is to deliberately and repeatedly lose his tennis ball or squeaky bone under the furniture where he can't get it then stand there staring and moaning at it then you, then it, then you until you are forced to retrieve it for him so he can try to force you to play with him. OK off to get squeaky bone from under the sofa....again!

pixieg1rl · 20/08/2015 21:26

What are they doing with your big hole ice? I'm sure it takes some filling

KellyHb · 20/08/2015 21:28

Hi Maddie Welcome along!!!! Smile

Great intel ice. I wonder what the part is he's gone for and who the actress is??

Thank goodness BA is back in blighty! Hopefully that's the last he'll be doing of Reign. I bet his tan is cracking. He's possibly at that festival this weekend then.

While I was waiting for a takeaway earlier, an absolute dead ringer for Mansfield Mike came in. Smile

Sorry today was an emotional one pix. Just think you're holidays are coming up soon. Wine
