CLP - just you and me mate - good morning and hope your day goes well

How exciting-my first entry on the CLP blog. Have a great day Chris and look forward to hearing you later!

Oh HURRAH CLP that's made my day, That's me chained to the spire on O'Connell Street lest I miss the Luas into town on Friday.

And break a leg on Who Wants To Be A Gobdaw tomorrow. I've me fingers, eyes an' legs crossed for yous.

A Word to the wise, mind. Check El Tel's trolleys out before yous let 'in on that there chair. I don't want me stuffin' balls spoilin'.

Clodagh.xx

Aww, Baggy, was thinking off you earlier, hadn't seen you for a while! You OK?

Morning all - Happy Birthday Cat! xx

Misty and raining here, but dull and grim if I'm honest...

Welcome to the madhouse, thenewmrsh!

Busy day ahead, as peeps here dropping like flies with a bug that's sweeping our building - no-one oinking though as far as I know.

Catch you a bit later

JG x

Shhh....the sneezing seems to have stopped!

Morning All,

Chris - sleep is for wimps....besides, like you - I enjoy the early rise and time spent with just the kids and me while the CMM gets a lie-in.
Would probably enjoy it even more, were there a garage full of Ferraris bolted on to the side of my house to play in though.

How much sleep do you reckon that you'll get in Dublin this weekend - especially with Clodagh chucking stones up at your window?

Rips

Who is feeling the pressure!!!

Can I brag while I'm here?

The boy came home last night and announced that he has got the part of James in the Christmas play this year.
They are doing the Snowman (if you'll pardon the expression) and James is the little boy. The school production will have speech btw!!

What with him being made a playground monitor and put into top sets for Literacy and Numeracy.
I am an incredibly proud Dad. Thankfully he seems to have inherited his Mum's brains.
He also has a teacher that he really clicks with this year, what a difference that makes!

Anyway - thought I'd share as it is one of the few things making me smile this week......recession over????? Pah!

Onwards and upwards

Hiya Chris,

What a busy life you have - great stuff! I know it was ages ago, but I just loved seeing you on the One Show last Friday - you are so happy and bubbly, that you make me happy and bubbly too!

I haven't had time to catch up with the blog since the Liverpool Meet at the weekend - what a great time was had by all! Chris, I have to tell you that Bingo Star is indeed well-named: the guy is a Star! He has a fantastic sense of humour, he constantly makes everyone laugh, and he is full of ideas. May I respectfully suggest to you that if you are looking for a new livewire to assist with the team for the Breakfast Show, you should look no further than Bingo!

Welcome mrsh!

Hope everyone is ok. Just want to say to all the bloggers I met at the weekend - it was wonderful. Surreal - but wonderful! Cheryl, thanks for organising everything - it all went brilliantly!

C xx

OOH! One more thing.....

Loving the photos from the weekend.

You all look like you were having a blast.

Bingo - You are either a genius or certifiable......I reckon the former!

Rips

Oy Rips yous cheeky aul gobdaw.

Chuckin' stones indeed. Anyway me aim an' me eyesight isn't that reliable these days. With my luck I'd be missin' CLP's window an' coppin' for some fragrant aul eejit wit a glass eye an' a donkey an' a passion for daft blonde biddies. Plus the last time I shimmied up a drainpipe was after York Races when I ruined me shoes and nearly throttled meself when me hat got caught in the gutterin'.

Just yous wait Rips. I'll give yous a right clatter round the O2.

Clodagh.xx

Good mozza Big Chief

Nice to hear youre coming over to God's own country a la weekend - are you perchance seeing Eamonn H in Belfast or young Ryan in Dublin - do let us know . . .

the sun is up over a crowdd grid-locked Belfast this morning - the hole in the road has slowed traffic to a standstill around the city - lovely . .

have a nice day, y'all . . .

DtM

Aw bless the youngfuller. I'd say there's youngfullers up an' down the land crushin' grapes with excitement in advance of the stage debuts.

And proud parents in the audiences hopin' not to lose every drop a moisture from every orifice during said debuts.

Bless. I remember it well. And so does the GD, but for entirely different reasons. It's that altercation on stage with Joseph, a wise man and the baby Jesus that has her put off procreatin' for life.

Clodagh.xx

Rips: just you brag all you like! It's great to hear how well your wee boy is doing: with his mum's brains and his dad's personality, then the boy has got-it-all!

liveforthekids: just checked out your website - the bookcases look fab. Had these been around 18 years ago, I would have ordered one instantly! One of the guys in my office has a wee two year old, so I will pass on the details of your website to him, and anyone else I can think of. I think your gesture for CIN is excellent!

C xx

Morning Clodagh, If your eyesight is that bad, I might still be in with a shot at the main prize myself!!
I look a lot like a young Mel Gibson.........Quiet at the back!

Moving on swiftly - If you or Dan (morning Dan) spot CLP going Near Ryan's show, let me know please.
Wouldn't want to miss that meeting.

Rips

Cheers Chrissie x

I just checked out the Bookcases and they are great - the first pic is my son's name too.....best chat to the missus!

Dear Christophe Lambie Pie

The four of us Bloggers wot are doing the fone pledgeroonies for CiN on 20th November have now received our final instructions. We're coming to see you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would it be at all, at all, at all possible to buy you a swift shandy after you go off air at 7ish (unless of course you are due at TV Centre to host ... ?)

It would just be a lovely opportunity to say THANK YOU for everything.

Yours muchly,

SuffolkDeevs
x x x x

Hey Chrissie-S, thanks for your nice comments!...and Rips, the model in the pic is my little cutie Max.
Pleeeeeeeeze keep passing the website on.......the boys will be hyper-excited when they get home from school to read all your messages!!

Morning all. I know we're not being asked for questions but this one popped into my head last night and if I don't put it here I'll never live with myself if it comes up on WWTBAM!! In the FILM 100 Dalmations, Perdita was the name of the pups' mother but in the BOOK, Perdita was actually a kind of surrogate who helped to whelp the puppies as there were too many for the mother to deal with. The pups' father's name was Pongo.

Ah, feel better for that! Good luck tomorrow Christophe. We're all willing you on. xxx

Morning folks, and there's nothing good about it, I tell you. Misty, murkey, damp, dull and flippin cold!!

Christoph, glad the next book is being planned, having finished 'it's not what you think' I for one can't wait for the next instalment. In fact I eeked the last few pages out, as you do, cos I didn't want it to end, brilliant!!

Liverpool meet sounded an absolute blast. Glad you're all back safe and sound. Bingo, what a character!!

Clodagh, you've cheered me up on this sh**e day.

Rips, what a proud daddy, and rightly so!

Pen, who's off to make meself a steaming mug of cawfeeee!!

xx

Rips

It's here! Thank you, I will indeed Enjoy.

Deevs
x x x

Thanks for the birthday messages!!

Despite being a work I am having a lovely day - brought in some doughnuts yum yum tum

Morning All - murky damp and cold one isn't it?

Another busy week Christoph - you'll manage I'm sure.

Can't stop - loads of work - catch up and back later smiley peeps. Will check out the website later too livefor.

Happy Birthday Cath xx

Tea - need more tea ...

Beezer xx (in flip flops cos feet are still killing me!)

Ooops, how remiss of me

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CATHMEL XX

Pen xx

Hi everyone,

Glad you all had a great time in Liverpool, photos are great.

Happy Birthday Cath!

Gail

Happy birthday Cath
Stay proud Rips and boast all you like.

Keep'em coming Clodagh. I need a smile or two

Back again

Rips, you have every right to be proud of your boy, he's going to be one bright spark!

Clodagh, hope you get to see CLP at the signing, and please don't do yourself any damage in the process!

I think I still have some pics to look at yet, but ran out of steam last night. I'm feeling much better today though.

I have a confession to make, I've still not started the book yet. Didn't get time whilst we were away, and haven't had time since...I will read it, honest!!

JG x

Chris . . .

Heard you on simon mayo yesterday . . . well half of you . . .and am half way thru your book too . . . oh dear . . . and it's midday too . . .

is there a theme to my life developing here ???

The_Ram

Just making one of my favourite comfort-lunches for when it's a damp and dreary day...and that's a corned beef and tomato toastie in my 30-something year old Breville sandwich maker!! FANTASTIC!!..although I've gotta be careful not to burn my lips on those tomato skins!
....and very happy birthday Cath, and anyone else who's celebrating today; mine's later in the month...yippee!!

Hi liveforthekids

Just checked out your bookshelves, they look really great! I'll pass on your details for a couple of friends of mine who may be interested.

Did you get my email Chris? Keep up the fantastic work!

Most Friendly Sentimentations Of Ello Ter CLP & Every Blog Dude.....

Bingo Star ere.....

Firstly can a just say a BIG 'APPY BIRTHDEE ter Cathmel..... "BIG 'APPY BIRTHDEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@!!!@!@!!!!@!"


Where do a start????? So much ter say and wreet about am overwhelmed and don't wanter wreet a 20 page blog!!!!!

CLP - A understand the predicament yer in ere.... Yer want ter do well so badly at the Who Wants Ter Be A Millionaire CIN Special!!!!!!
Yer neeed ter do well so badly!!!!!!
Know a now, sorry now a know, CLP yer don't do things by 'alves and yer really wanter get the million if yer can but the problem ere az much az yer swoting up on general knowledge, yer could be asked a million different Q's ter get the million!!!!!
A feel CLP yer could end up by the teem the gig 'appens being mentally drained from too much swoting that yer could end drawing a blank!!!!!!
Mind you if one of the Q's waz/ iz 'what popular show did Sir Terry Wogan 'ost in which 'e 'ad a microphone like a tranny radio ariel that kept being snapped in 'alf by derranged celebrity dudes???'
If yer said..... "errrrr ave can't think... ave gone all blankety blank in me mind!!!!"
Then the Tarrent would say with a BIG smile "EEEEEEEEE CORREEECTT!!!!!!!!!" "EEEEEEE that get's you up too...... blah, blah, blah"
And it would be the Tarrent getting out 'is 'cheque boook & pen' ter wreet a BIG cheque, noot Sir Tezz - know what am sayin'!!!!!
So 'aving a blank mind can sometimes be an advantage!!!!
Mind you... a suppose though Sir Tezza would now, sorry know, the answer ter that one - know the points am tryin' ter get at ere!!!!!
What am tryin' ter say CLP iz if a did rack me brains and putta loada Q's & A's on the blog know, sorry now, then a feel it would be in vain!!!!

Although a might be able ter 'elp if yer want me ter CLP!!!!!
Don't tell anyone but what if a come and sit in the audience and suddenly come down with swine flu complete with a bad cough!!!!
A could be wired ter an ear piece ter yer team of expert 'phone a friend' friends and cough the answers all without yer neeeding ter phone any of yer 'phone a friend' friends!!!!!@@!!@@!@!!
One cough = A, two = B and so on!!!!!
Worked for the major!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And if we did get caught..... a now, sorry know, it's a SIN but az it's for.... CIN.... am sure all would be brushed under the carpet az it's all in the name of charithee!!!!!!!!!!!!@!!@!!!@!@!!!!!!!!!
Am ere if yer need me CLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Am ere... am ere pal.... but a could be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ALL - Been reading all the blog posts... ave ter say am so glad all who came ter the Liverpool blog meet 'ad a great time!!!!!!!!!!
A 'ad a great time too - WHATTA COINCIDENCE!!!!!!!!!
A just wanted ter say ter any who've writted me way, ave read all posts... Am so glad a made a few laugh and glad ter be of assistance with directions, 'elp & INDEED be a tour guide - a get alotta pleasure in 'elping others!!!!!!!!!!
Especially people az nice az CLP's blogger dudes!!!!!

BIG TARRR for all yer kind words!!!!!!

It waz so nice ter meet so many new bloggie dudes.... my only regret iz that az there waz so many.... a really wanted ter get ter know everyone and take the time ter speak ter all.... and when a say speak... a mean properly but az there waz so many a regret we didn't all chat for long enough!!!!!
Yer know 'ow it iz yer go ter one table and are busy chatting and then think.... actually should a be at the other end of the table???? Or the other table!!!!
But then if yer are at the other table.... then you'd be thinkin' the same thing - know what am sayin'!!!!!!
God knows what it must be for members of The RoundTable atta RoundTable meet..... az there iz no end ter trying ter be at the other end...... of the table end.... especially with it being round!!!!!!

A tell yer ALL, any who didn't come ter this meet... try ter come ter others az all the bloggies are such a nice/ friendly bunch!!!!!!!!!! You'll 'ave a great dee/ evening!!!!
The one thing most say ter me they felt so nervious about coming ter their firswt meet.... me too!!!!!
But am glad a made the effort last year!!!!!!!

Sometimes a wonder 'ow BIG could the CLP Bloggers meets become!!! A mean every meet gets bigger.... maybe it could keep growing!!!!
It could grow & grow until we could end up with 500 'undred attending a 'uge annual summer July meet in a BIG white marque tent in the middle of a field surrounded by foot deep mud (english summer)!!!!!! Who knows!!!!
Yer know the well know saying>>>> From small acorns grow mighty 30 foot long oak beams in some posh persons 'ouse 'olding up their ceiling!!!!!!
Where could the ceiling be on the blog meets??????
We could end up with our own RoundTable type club!!!!!!!
Am being serious ere all!!!!!!!!!

Must admit a enjoyed bozzing about on me scoooter.... i'll bang FULL details of me journey termozza!!!!!
A tell yer it waz like a Don Joly moment az a drove through Liverpool bus station.... me only regret.... a didn't get the moment on film!!!!!!! The main thing anyway.... am glad ter make so many laugh.... both at the meet & in the streets of Liverpool!!!!!


FINALLY - Just wanted ter say a 'ear Robbie Williams iz on Wrightie's BIG Show later!!!!!
Some may remember one of me 2009 predictions a put on the blog earlier in the year iz that Robbie will after 14 years get back with Take That this year!!!!!
Well WHATTA COINCIDENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ave just 'eard it's going ter 'appen on Thursdee at the CIN MEGA Gig at The Albert 'all and am gonna be there ter witness it!!!!@!@!@!@!@!!@!!!!
WWWHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@!
On top of this a swear on me mothers life this iz 1000% TRUE >>>>
Soon az a 'eard Gary Barlow and Take That are doing a CIN gig at The Albert.... a goot such a strong feeling this iz where Robbie would make 'is return debut!!!!!!
Ave been planning ter wreet this on the blog, along with many things ave goot in me mind ter wreet, but a just didn't get aroound to it!!!!!!!
Makes perfect sense when they will only be doing a few songs and all for childrens charithee!!!!!!
Soon az a 'eard the news it FREAKED me out!!!!!!!
Maybe a am tuned inter the other side.... a do like Radio 1!!!!!!!!!

Bye!

PS Still goot so much more a need/ want ter wreet terdee.... just ain't goot the time.... BIG soz!!!!!

No news yet, but you know what they say about no news ??

Did you get your train ticket?

MTF.xx

Following on from the serious Q and A's yesterday may I now add some madness to the mix. Answers on a postcard to Freepost Daisy!!!

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'lisp'?

What is the speed of darkness?

Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up every two hours?

If the temperature is zero outside today and it's going to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold will it be?

Do married people live longer than single ones or does it only seem longer?

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?


Did you ever stop and wonder......

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze
these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?'

Who was the first person to say, 'See that chicken there... I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta it's bum.'

Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their bum when they ask where the bathroom is?

Why does your Obstetrician, Gynaecologist leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?

Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs !

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

Stop singing and read on......

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

Question 7 was specifically for Chris - here is hoping Noah cuts his mummy and daddy some slack tonight!

Murky, wet Northwest today, yuk. Swine flu jab yesterday and feeling grumpy and achy today.

If you have taken a flask with you today, I hope you have taken care of it and not used it as a goal post for the lunchtime kickabout!! Maracas anyone??


JG Glad the sneezings stopped, stay well!

Liveforthekids love the bookcases, sure they'll do very well for CiN

Deevs, Happy to chip in to the drinks kitty!! I keep thinking t-shirts, black (natch) with CLP Bloggers on but not sure where to get four of such things printed in time?

Glad you all had a great time in Liverpool

Seza xXx

mSc - is that the christmas special or the normal show? I have seen both and had a great time - be prepared for pure cheese and silliness - do not take it seriously (thats if its the show I'm thinking off).

JG - thanks for thinking about me - I'm okay - just don't have anything exciting to report - maybe its post wedding blues?

#42 Hiya, Hey Jude, our four musketeers kept it going the longest xx

SBP Have you got your email bout next Friday? Will have to work out where we should meet.

Any one heard anything about the O2 yet? Chris, pleeeeese tell us. Remember what you said about tabout the Drivetime Driving Auction. Once you'd announced it, you then had to make it happen. So announce what you want to happen on that night, then you know it will have to take place!!

Seza xXx

SBP, I didn't see any t-shirt, where did you get yours?

Seza xXx

Baggy..hey hon. I have no idea if its the Christmas one or the normal one..tickets were pressy from GM mum for us so just going along! G**gled it tho and it looks like a good night-thanks!

And Seza...caallmm down, callmm down(said in a scouse accent!)..you have made it now!

And i have come to the conclusion ti am rubbish at accents..interpreting them i mean..the poor barman on Sat had to repeat himself 4 times before i got what he was saying.. gawd only knows how im gonna cope in Glasgow!

mSc x

PS - Still barking but docs tom..yay!

I have got my email thanks - I guess since we need to be there half an hour before we start and we will need traveling time we should meet at 11:30 somewhere near R2 building (I beleive we are in there) - Rips - your the London master - any ideas?

T-shirt came from bottom slapping shop but I have no ears - will need to get some. They come in male and female version only so if we all get them we will kinda match

PS - botton slapping place - the one with the green sign not the one with the initials AS

Someone stop Suffolk coughing !!!

Have had poorly 7yr old today so didn't get much work done - off to do half-an-hour. Back later

Hope everyone is well. xxx

Apparently I've broken house rules!?!...and all I was trying to do was raise money for CIN :(
Thanks to everyone that's looked at the website; the response has been phenominal...before the website details were removed...I'm sure that with your help CIN will be better off from the resulting sales of my bookcases.
Gotta go now to collect my 3 boys from karate, before enjoying a glass of vino with my tea!
Enjoy your evening everyone!!

Hi folks

Just packed Mr JG back off to work, on call tonight, so not a happy bunny!

Sorry about the modders LFTKs - is there something else we can call you shorter than that? I've got your website details, so will post it on my fb status for the next day or so, so people can pick it up!

Hi Annie!! My mum has a poorly 13yr old to look after tomorrow, she must be bad as she couldn't go to ballet! (Not mine I hasten to add)!

JG x

LFTK whats % of what and for how long again?

Just clicked refresh and everything changed!!! Is there someone there with not enough to do but faff about on here?

Evening JG. x

And now its changed back again!!!! And I've only had peppermint tea.

Annie, I just keep hitting refresh til it comes back right...it's a bu**er!!

JG x

Off to have me tea, better late than never!

Hiya

We've just been to Boy1's parent's evening. Now, this hasn't always been the happiest of occasions but today we were so please with him. Lots of glowing comments about good attitude, working hard, acheiving well!!

Well done boy1!!

Thanks

Proud Seza xXx

Evening Annie and JG - just zipped in before eating supper/dinner/tea.
Sorry to hear about the icky kids - hope they are better soon.
I keep hitting f5 too and have you seen the stuff wot flashes up - widgets and the like!!!! Goodness me!

Will check out JG's fb page Livefor as it was gone before I could look!!!
If you are on fb however, put it on CLP bloggers page and all bloggers can see it.

Tum rumbling - eat - then back later

Beezer xx

Well done Boy 1 Seza and Rips from earlier - you can tell I was just catching up!!! Boast away guys - I think you are very brave to have kids!!!! A mini me would be anyones worst nightmare!

Really going now for a bite......

Beez xxx

Thanks for all the birthday wishes - I have had a great day. Got home from work and my girls had a bag of pressies and cards for me to open. I am now stuffed full of cake and feeling so content with life........

heyyyya!!!!!!!

how did the meet in scouseland go???

Billie xx

Glad you had a good day Cat!!

Billie, please see previous posts for details, we all had a brilliant time!!

JG x

Have not long finished your book Chris so am very pleased you are talking about the next one as I could start it now to be honest as getting withdrawal symptoms as have you stopped with a state of suspenders!!

Boast all you like Rips and Seza and so lovely to have wonderful boys to be proud of. I can still remember crying when mine sang 'White Christmas' in the school production when he was 7 (sorry Beez just a title of a song!)

Hard to catch up but loving all the blog meet chat and the photos on the other side.

Looks like you all had a lorra, lorra laughs!

Hi JG

wish i could,a gone!!!!

great to hear yous had a good time !!!!

hows you ?

Billie xxx

Seza, well done on the parents meeting, Niece 2 had a really good report today as well!!

Back off to keep an eye on John Sargeant, he better not give away any of my secret places!!

JG x

Seza - thanks for the shelves link on FB - would have been ideal for both my kids but as they are all grown up and left home now.... Brill idea and one I would have loved way back when.

Sorry liveforthekids I should have given you the name check for the shelves in the first place - they will look great with Noah on each end methinks x Such a brilliant idea you wonder why somebody didn't think of it eons ago.

Susan, it's my link I think, although fits with Seza better lol!

Will keep it there until I get bored or if they don't get back on the offer!

JG x

off to fb !!!!!1

well i felt like i was intrudin so i gone !!!

Billie, you're not intruding on anything, cos there's nothing going on.

But, please read back though the blog a bit to see what people have been up to, otherwise people are just repeating previous posts....

JG x

Oops sorry JG. I think I was looking at two different lines on FB and mixed them up. See what you mean about the Seza connection so maybe it was a subconscious thing - spooky.

Getting a bit chilly here so off for a lovely soak in the bath.

Might lurk again later otherwise night all xx

Susan, I have looked at the bookcases & thought how much boy2 - total bookworm - would love them but sadly he's lumbered with the box room & hardly has room for a book, let alone a bookcase!

Liverpool Meeters! Be warned, I've started saving!

Seza xxxx

When is the next meet ?????

maybe i could come to that one!!!!!!


Billie xx

OOOhh Debs, just seen an advert for Pooles Pies!!

JG x

Evening all,

Cold and murky here tonight. Being the optimist , I have treated myself to some new de-icer and a scraper tonight. Rest assured for a mild winter folks .

ps cooked the worst tea ever , Mr MC and i waiting to see who's gonna show the first signs of food poisoning xxxx

Billie, don't think there's anything planned at the moment. That'll have to wait until someone takes the tour guide baton from Deevs, abley assisted by Bingo by the look of it! Don't suppose there'll be anything until after Ch.......................New Year but i'd like to be prepared which why i mentioned it

Maybe you could look into something for the future

Evening, not stopping....

Just had a VERY quick skimming of recent posts and:

Seza - I also had parents's evening earlier tonight; for Boleynteen the Elder, who is a scarily academic, organized and high achieving boff who is now tackling her A levels with vigour, as well as gawd knows how many extra-curricular, enriching and mind improving activities. As usual I heard what a star she is, and I know she is and I know how lucky I am to have produced her.

And yet, AND YET.....

Boleynteen the Younger is a totally different kettle of fish. She has given me many tears and sleepless nights over the years and we have had quite a few recently, although I think (hurrah!) we are "plateauing" at the moment (again). She has a good brain, which she has only ever used about 5% of, is wise and original and also very funny and very popular.

A positive comment about BT2 at Parents Evening can have ne blubbing and hugging the teacher (metaphorically) immediately. The slightest "good" thing she does leaves me feeling emotional and proud.

I think it might be the whole "Prodigal Son" (substitute Daughter) thing.

Anyhoo, it's a parental paradox, that's for sure.

Sorry if this is a bit heavy and indeed sorry to bore non-parents.

PS, Billie, it doesn't do to be too sensitive on here!

BG are you on FB? Don't think i've got you as a friend yet. Just typed a message re kids then deleted it as too specific for here. Would love to chat though. Maybe someone who knows who I am and you are could introduce us?

My tea was emergency fish & chips but chips were not fab & they didn't any rock eel!!

Seza xXx

Evening all.

Boleyn, got exactly the same scenario as you and love the way you have expressed it.

Forced a detox on myself, no Fizz, not even an areo MC, but thanks for the suggestion.x

The weekend can really come soon enough.

Can anyone really follow the Liverpool bloggers meet....

Am still enjoying going back over the pics, thanks all for sharing them with us.
