Hello All! I've just spent a while reading about you all, and felt that as you have been so open, I should tell you a bit about myself.

I was born in Bromley, Kent in 1967 and after school went to college where I learned secretarial skills. Worked my way through jobs and eventually became a PA. Met my husband through work and a few years down the line we are now married and have Little Plocket - daughter. Relocated to Staffordshire which was brilliant for us. Daughter 3 in October and divine! Now I'm a full-time mum, have put on weight (but don't worry about it) and love life and gardening. Have a tiny garden but I adore it. Created it from scratch when we moved in nearly three years ago. I love cooking, reading, gardening (of course), art, my friends and my family. If there is anything you want to know about me just ask and I might tell you!

Plocket - I was born in Bromley as well, and the potato (well, any plant really) defoliator (and unripe currant picker) will be 3 in October as well!

[Plocket]

Hum! My little one isn't too bad at the moment. So we were going through the same thing at the same time hey? 23rd October I had her! How about you?

Plocket & Multi,

Oh the joys of the young ones.... our eldest was 3 a fortnight ago, and she seems to have grown up over night so to speak.  The tantrums have died down to almost non existent (touch wood), however our other daughter will be 2 on 10th October and boy can she throw a tantrum already......  If she is not happy the first sign is her bottom lip will quiver and then she will drop to the floor on her knees with her hands and arms stretched out in fornt of her as if she were praying to mecca and screeeeeeeeam.......  

We wouldnt be without them though they are so funny....  This morning in fact the door handle to Elise's (youngest) bedroom failed so I had to force the door open.  It took 3 attempts to shoulder it so I could get into to her... you can imagine the noise I was making and I would have thought that for a nearly 2 year old it would have been quite scary..... for Elise oh no she is a law unto herself.  When the door opened I was greated by my ickle darlin sat quietly in her cot watching the proceedings and her only comment was a comical, "oh oh" (teletubby style).....  It brought a warm smile to myself and all Sophie could do was laugh...... kids eh?

Take care all

Les n Soph

10th October - the date of my birthday as well!

Hum - the joys (?) of parenthood. Mine is coming out with some classic lines these days - "I can eat onions when I have a big mouth" - where did that come from? "No" is her fave word at the moment but the tantrums aren't too bad.

I think she realised mummy was boss when she got in a right strop with one of her toys and I said that I would put it in the dustbin if she continued trying to destroy it. She carried on so I bunged it in the dustbin. She laughed and said that she wanted to go in the dustbin too, until I explained (roughly) what happened to rubbish!!!

The potato defoliator's birthday is the 16th October.

[Les_Woof]

Looks like we should all be having a joint birthday party sometime in October then.

I'll bring the jelly (and some special jelly for the adults!) and my girls will make some fairy cakes and chocolate crunchies......

All are welcome....party time! :D :D

Thought I'd join in on this one as my birthday is in October (4th). Also I was around the same region as Plocket - born in 1968 in Woolwich, but went to school in Chislehurst, Kent. Now have moved to Bucks and we have a 1 yr old and 3yr old (will be 4 very soon and have to plan pinky party for her).
I work part time as a technical writer and spend "spare-time" on the allotment. I have out a post on one of the other boards about amusing young children on plots - as some good ideas could really help our veg.

[Plocket]

Hi! Did you go to Farringtons by any chance?

[Sarah-b]

Hi Plocket - nope, not posh/rich enough. Went to Beaverwood just down the road. How about you?

[Plocket]

Went to Farringtons Junior School for a couple of years and was bl***y miserable (bullied) so after 11 went to Ravensbourne School for Girls - and Multiveg went there too! Oh and I am not posh!!!
