I might be wrong but I'm not sure that Trixiebelle is still using that website? I contacted her via a Private message, maybe she will come on here and tell us where we can get her FAB soap from  ;D (Apologies if the website is still working, it wasn't when I bought some)

thankyou sooo much yes i can use the website just popped on it  ;D

wow this is a great idea as i have often wondered who i could talk to yes its a mum thing well it goes like this my dear old mum rang the other day and asked what we would be doing for Christmas and i said that it was a bit to early to say yet as i hadn't even had my birthday yet (its in august)and mum told me i had and oi replied no i hadn't and she said you have because i bought your card ages ago and put your pressie in it and gave it your dad to bring over on the Saturday and that was ages ago i then asked her to get the paper and read the date which she did 14 July she said so i then asked when i was born and she said if i couldn't remember then she wasn't going to tell me and hung up  ??? ???

at tea time that same day my dad rings up and said that yes i was right it was a bit early to be thinking about Christmas when i hadn't even had my birthday yet and yes mother did give me your card ages ago and its sitting in my sock draw waiting till nearer the date when i will bring it over for you i then asked why it was bought so early and he replied that he gets mother to buy all our birthday cards in one go and then she writes on them and he keeps them safe as a couple of years back ,who am i kidding , mother lost my 21st birthday card and i said well that's still a bit odd its only a card and could be replaced yes he said but not the 50 quid inside it did make me chuckle hope you enjoy this little bit of claptrap

We are laughing fit to bust Tohellwithweeds!! That is so funny. Priceless.

Us (older) Mum's do the most peculiar things or at least so my family tell me!! That is a great story ;D

 :-[ oooeer I am getting more like your mum everyday! and this week I invited my daughter and G kids around for xmas day and then invited us around hers for new year ::)
to be honest there was a reason for this planning as she left her OH a few weeks ago (a control freak shes better away from him) so we can,t fall into the same routine as every year
by the way I am expecting my 5th grandchild in mid november,no not my Daughters my sons 2nd I fear Daisy aged 3 by then is going to have her nose put out of joint as she pretty well rules the household (but she,s very cute )

Evening all! Well this Mum is child free....................for the first time in I cannot remember how long I have NO kids in the house! :o  One is overseas withthe family for the summer..........the other gone to Wales for a week with a mate..........and do you know what................I miss them! :'( :'( :'(  (but don't tell them I told you! ;) )  Also OH working till 3am, I just got in from catering a funeral.............2nd this week. :(  And have opened a bottle of Chardonnay, don't fancy anything to eat, so might take meself to bed and stick the telly on!
Oh but, at the funeral, was doing the washing up in the kitchen, and one of the chaps whose Dad it was that had died, (would reakon he was 40ish, son not dad) was talking to some older woman who was saying " So can I go in your dad's flat and help myself?" "erm" was the reply, "well he did say we could have the 2 (fancy name I can't remember) radios". "Well" said distraught son, "we haven't even thought about the flat, and I think brother and I would like the radios." If they had looked at me, my jaw would have been on the floor............there is a time and a place.........bloody goldiggers! I really felt for the Son.
Right off to top up me glass.............................boy is it quiet round here, I need a teenager to argue with me! ;D ;D

Hope you enjoyed your Chardonnay Doris, I am sure you needed it.  Can't believe what you heard but I know it happens, people are amazing aren't they! :o

Know what you mean about an empty nest, I have had an odd evening with them all out recently, feels very weird...

oooooooo-er DottyP.....I've a friend, now in her 80s, who swears that, once the bod is dead, the vultures gather..... :(


 

I think this lot were circling Lish!

Which reminds me, my F-in-Law was living overseas when his Dad died, so back then took him, as the only living child. a while to get back. (few days probs) When he did, the house had been stripped by his cousins! :o Nice family!
On the plus side of having no kids home, and OH working again tonight....I read a WHOLE book in one day, no guilt, no meals to cook...lovely! ;D (but the house needs a good clean, but I managed to ignore it! ;D)

Doris, you very easily get used to it  ;). No.2 daughter has not moved out permanently yet, but she spends half the week at the lover's house. She's an easy person to have around and she makes me laugh, but it's oh so nice to be on our own-even just for a couple of days.
Mind you, don't know who's going to sort out the techno stuff when she goes... ???

My 3 left home some years ago 8) loking around at all the junk I think where ever did I put them mmm 10 of the boxes belong to the youngest who lives in USA think I,m stuck with them for sometime yet
