buffie Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 but also understand you felt . Not your fault as all a nasty experience, you poor thing dehydration/sun stroke can be really awful! BX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 Emma - how awful. sun stroke's not nice - but 28 children are probably worse, I'd probably faint as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Yes, I'd take the sunstroke rather than the children being the veteran of several school trips! The worst one was a whole school outing to the Millennium Dome but I'll start swearing if I talk about that one and it won't be pretty !

SarahJo Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Oooh Emma ... reminds me of when I had sunstroke as a nipper .. spent the whole day on the beach, and parents took a photo of me holding the crab we were having for tea. I was sick ALL night, and did not touch shellfish for ages (years infact) ... when they had the photos developed, there I was with really dark circles under my eyes, I will never forget it. Hope you are well recovered now ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well, I've learned; That if work call & ask could you pop by & help with minor crisi/major panic, and you go in and easily sort it out, but want to ease the guilt of the panicker for calling you, and shrug off their profuse gratitude as if it was nothing at all (even though you had intended having a day to catch up with everything at home), do not say, as I did, Oh, its all right, I've got my superpants on. Because everyone, including a shopful of customers will surely look at your face in disbelief , and then down at your trousers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did no one tell you you wear your 'pants' over your tights!!!? Aren't you glad I've told you? Now you're a proper 'super hero'. Perhaps you'd like to change now!

Mrs Frugal Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well actually I never wear trousers anyway so I do pull my superpants over my tights. Perhaps I shouldn't wear the skirt inbetween though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahJo Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 DO NOT ... let the kids (age 5 and 4) use the tester pots in the kitchen ... now we have to have 3 colours .. as they cannot decide which they like best. Also as each looks different depending on the light, they keep changing their minds ... like having Llewelyn Bowen and Carol Smilie in the house .

buffie Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I have learnt alot this week! 1. Puppies play with cats and chickens, much to their annoyance. 2. You can get back from hols, go to wales and get your pup, come home, work and build a run with the pug in 4 days!!! 3. Charlie can leap onto a trellis edged 6ft plus screen , to get into garden from new fabby run!! 4. I want to go back to bed now, up since 6.30 and still not washed or dressed due to puppy minding!! 5. Flip flops and damp grass equals hurt toe number 2!!! I am going to buy wellies today!! 5. I am very lucky Bx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffie Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Yes Nicola, had a visit from a friend for several hours and done no more than speak pup all day, oh and chick! BX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 5. Flip flops and damp grass equals hurt toe number 2!!! I am going to buy wellies today!! Bx Clogs for me...I've been using indoor flip flops & outdoor flip flops but might be time for wellies & slippers. However, I've learned this week...that I've invented a new winter sport... ......see just how far you can slide (preferably unintentionally) on one flip flop on mud in (sloping) hengarden (whilst holding food & water of course)...without falling over. Beats skateboarding! Glad you are enjoying pup but busy as ever Buffie. Thought of you when I had a first time in 28 years outing to John Lewis with OH, having a (rare) day out together.... I learned....that whilst I could quite happily have spent the day browsing (inc.lunch of course), we only needed one hour to; make decisions on 2 separate light fittings, have quick look at books, spend 5 mins buying 3 items of clothing and choose kitchen flooring and book the estimate which brings me back to Sarah's kitchen! Would you like to borrow OH...very decisive! (But it'll be white or white ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Sheila - it's best to ditch the OH altogether! I'm going to be spending the morning with the Kitchen Designer ( ) I've already told him what we ( )would like - he just has to bring samples and prices!

Now Lesley I hope the OH knows about this 'liason' Sounds very exciting all your home improvememnts and Sheila's. I am on self ban from 'the Mothership' as Christmas is coming. I am longing for a browse but must keep myself in check. Daisie is a distraction but I suppose my wellies (still not purchased) will be the only purchase in the next 2 weeks! Did go to garden centre and spend a fortune on the new run for the girls and spend ages looking at the christmas display being prepared. Sheila, yes flip boarding is a new sport for me but it is very dangerous, be warned!! Need toe armour!! Bx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Oh dear Sheila.... I always was terrible at offering sympathy when someone does something hilarious like snowboard on a flipflop whilst holding food and drinks! If only I could just stop laughing and pick myself up off the floor, wipe my eyes I'll be over in a second to help you. Thing I learnt many years ago whilst walking in France was that their direction signs for the cars are at head height for pedestrians on the pavement. Always look where you are walking , and not at the person you are chatting to when in France. A very nasty head injury is immanent, just before you knock yourself out and fall backwards by whacking your head off a sign post. Friends will always fall about laughing before deciding to pick you up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Gina - you have to look where you are walking in France, if only to avoid all the dog-poo. (I'm still laughing at Sheila's flip-boarding as well! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachel19 Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I have learnt many things in the last week (pretty much all from the wonderful program QI): - It is possible to walk on custard. - The largest quantity of metal in the human body is calcium (i never knew it was a metal). - You can never have too many scarves.

Sheilaz Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Well, I didn't know any of those, so know I've learnt 3 more things too. Thanks. Except, I shall have to test them all now as I'm too cynical to just believe what I read. Not looking forward to testing the first....is there an optimal depth or consistency I should know about? But number 3 sounds good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel19 Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Well they showed a video clip of a guy walking on custard and unless you have an empty swimming pool to spare i don't think you'll be testing it out very soon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
