I think Heldi you have just supplied me with a reason to be glad that I'm older, I don't know who barney is, thankfully, I do own an air rifle though.

THANK YOU so much Heldi, you have just transported me back 10 years to 5 years of.............. hell........................I knew all the songs..........wish I didn't, they still rumble around my head at times.
Kids had Barney books, Barney clothes, Barney toys and worst of all about 5 Barney videos kindly given to them from people...................................I still have them somewhere if you want them Heldi! ;D ;D
I love you
You love me...............................

Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination......etc.....etc......blah!  Yup, we had it to, but only for a short spell THANK GOODNESS as daughter number one hated the kids on it!

Work, I am a mum....nuff said!

However, now they are both at school full time, I am, like many others, a gardener.  I tend to log on at lunch time, bathtime and night time.  ;D

Like Garden Girl after working for nearly 50 years (30 of them for OH) then looking after OH until he passed in to the great beyond I have completely retired, even got a base ball cap with "I am retired and loving it" printed on it. How sad ;D I do have the habit this time of year of leaving computer on and keep logged in to A4A then when I hear a little DING I can see new posts..

I work for the local council. Sit starting at a screen most of the day, and every now and again check A4A and post.

At the fear of being accused of being a pen pushing bureaucrat like the Telegraph always calls us, I'm a civil servant.
However I'm also a founder member of the "I hate any puppet/costume clad people" society which covers a huge range of childrens characters - some already mentioned - some not (the Clangers - sorry RC - being one which springs instantly to mind). I'm more than happy to join any possie that'll take them all out. ;D

We never suffered Barney - my anti Americanism (Sorry John) really comes to the fore when it comes to Children's TV (and George Bush (there must be a witticism there somewhere))

Anyway - when I am at work I am surrounded by kids and cannot pop off to use the internet.  When I am working at home (as now) then A4A is permanently on in the background and I use it as a form of brain gym and pop in and out.  Occasionally after one or two many bottles of pop I might pop into chat to make a complete arse of myself.

I am self-employed so it all depends how full my diary is and whether or not I'm shipping the sprogs to and from horse riding and dancing as to when I can get on A4A - but like most of you have to admit to leaving the computer and staying logged on to A4A.

It is going it be interesting this Christmas, managing not to watch any television at all, does that make me sad or more interesting ? Do I care? I know I wont be able to get near this machine during the day on Thursday or Friday as we have training days. Will I get withdrawal symptoms ?

Ahh Delilah, you have the stables and dance school runs too ... mind you, I must be fair to my daughter, at 16 she is still willing to accompany her Dad on the ice rink tomorrow teatime !!! A lot of girls of that age would die with shame to be seen out with their parents ...
