Guest Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Have just realised - I can play the flute, and chookiehubbie can (kind of) play the guitar, so we can join in the general music making too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Excuse me while I go and change my undies, I have just wet them laughing!! Oh and I can play the saxophone and knit (obviously not simultaneously). Where do I sign up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aylana Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hmmmmmm, what can i offer to the island? Well I work doing state pension forecasts at the moment so I could be a kind of retirement planner advisor sort of person. Also I am going to back to Uni to study Crime Scene Science this year, so I could be the law enforcement too! Not that there would be much crime on the Omlet island I'm sure. I would also probably start an underground anti spider rebellion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'm assuming there's not TV in our commune, so all this music is going to be fantastic. Camp-fires (so that those who like tents are happy! ), barbecues and lots of music. I can see jazz bands, wind bands and choirs emerging. We're going to have such a good time. I can't wait! I love the Isle of Wight too - is it up for sale already or do we have negotiations ahead of us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Just caught up with this thread. Wondering what skills to offer Used to be a childminder so I could run a creche for the wee ones too young to go to school. Don't mind ironing. Also put me down for kitchen duties. OH is an elecrical engineer and with a bit of re training maybe set up wind turbines or solar panels. Also swimming coach and football coach so could be PE instructor. Son Jack will be paper boy, delivering the Daily Omlet Newsletter, Practical Poultry magazine and Country Smallholder. Natalie likes dogs and will take Minky for walkies.

motherhen Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Venture Scouts are too rough for most people. I was in Rangers but used to go hiking with ventures and they taught us the most songs in the minibus driving up to the Lakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
