Anna 1 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Just wanted to say 'hi' to everyone. I haven't been able to get my daily forum fix for ages now - apart from a couple of sneaky peeks last week. Work took over my life after Easter and to add to the mayhem the MOTH went to NZ for 7 weeks leaving me a stranded and deserted solo mother (violins please...). Now that I'm on holiday from school I should hopefully be around more (although supposedly 'working'!). I can't tell you how much I missed all the friendly chat and news on the forum and feel like I don't really know where to start trying to catch up as there are so many new postings My girls are as lovely as ever and Oliver (small son) loves them so much he keeps trying to go and sit in the Eglu with them - much to their alarm. I guess the main thing I want to say though is - 'Keep Safe Everyone' in this mad, crazy world. I agree with everything that everyone has contributed so far on the subject of the bombings last week - heartfelt sympathy both to those injured, and to the families and friends of those killed (and devout thanks to the being who was watching over my sister that morning), and defiance to those responsible - YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO BEAT US!!!

Popcorn Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Well said Anna I know exactly how you feel about missing the forum. My PC went in for an MOT and ended up having new parts and being 'off the road' - so to speak - for a week. House was sparkling clean, mind you, but I really missed everyone so much. Do you teach? Both myself and my husband teach and we break up together on Friday, so I am looking forward to some us time, and some forum time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna 1 Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 Yes Gina - I'm a teacher. Well, at least I go to school everyday to try and develop knowledge in the minds of hormonally-hyperactive teenage girls... It's DEFINITELY the end of term (I love them really!)

Popcorn Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 My Hubby teachers 14-18yrs, and has the same joys as yourself I teach at a university, and believe me, they are the same hormonally charged specimens that they were at school!

Mrs Frugal Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I don't get that one either Lyndz and I'm way (way, way, way) over 15 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I just presumed it was MY OTHER HALF. Now I'm intrigued too..please tell Anna... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Well done for asking, Lyndz, I was wondering. I have assumed Gina is correct there. But, it could be a nickname because her partner is attracted to bright lights. And brand new woolly jumpers. Lots of wool in N.Z Do tell us Anna! By the way, did wonder where you were, good to see you back. Its great having avatars; every time I see yours, I can recall your chook names instantly! How are they?

Cate in NZ Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I'm only guessing here, but surely it's man of the house Yes, Anna, it's nice to see you back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna 1 Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 Yes, MOTH is Man Of The House! Must be a 'down-under' term I guess!!! And thanks for all the greetings - it's good to be back. Ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Perhaps he needs to be a VLSH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I like that Gina - I'm sure he'd be in agreement too - maybe even to the point of being a VVVVVLSH . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Yes, I have an ELSH (Extremely). But then he has an ELSW, so fair enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 So, we could potentially have a MOTH who is a VVVVVVLSH with a VLSW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
