Patridge bantam chicken poorly foot?

[Nicola H]

I know how you feel Sheila I learnt to touch type at school but now just use 2 fingers and take for ever to put a message on the forum. My 13 year old son is always on msn and he types really fast it is a sign of the times.

[Lesley]

I thought I'd honour my 1000 posting by posting a Senior Moment. It's taken a while because Carl obviously had a Senior Moment of his own and moved my book

 

Here it is:

 

Youth passes, but with luck immaturity can last a lifetime!

 

Just about sums me up!

[Mrs Frugal]

Well thank goodness we weren't anything to do with Turkeys in the end! I quite like chatty chicken! Good old James !

 

Congratulations!!

[SarahJo]

Well done James , glad he didn't use "Gobby Hen", which was my other suggestion. . Well done Kate and Lesley, I feel loads better now .

 

Sarah

[Mrs Frugal]

Thanks Sarah !

 

Can I go and do some work now before my long suffering hubby throws me out onto the streets ??

[Lesley]

He won't - he can't cook!

[Mrs Frugal]

Tom learned to cook sweet & sour and little cakes at school - they can live on them !

[Lesley]

 

My son will be here for his lunch any minute and I told him earlier how much paperwork I'd got to do!

[Nicola H]

WELL DONE LESLEY AND KATE

 

Chatty chickens thats a good one I like that don't really want to become a turkey gobble gobble...........................

 

Missed all the fun eating lunch at the time .................

[Trish]

Chatty chickens is just the right thing. Suits most of us here I think

[SarahJo]

Heres one for the weekend

 

" In the battle between handbag strap and door handle,

far better to knacker your handbag

than let the door handle feel it's won."

 

Mind you depends on the cost of the handbag surely

 

Sarah .. I never take a handbag, just fill my pockets

[Nicola H]

I am the same Sarah I have lost so many bags I gave up on them years ago..................

[Lesley]

I like that one Sarah

 

We solved that problem - we took the door off! Carl does nearly everything at a run and was always catching his pockets on the door handles. Good job he hasn't got a handbag!

[Mrs Frugal]

Tom had to rescue me last night after I got my coat sleeve caught on the front door handle - both hands were full of shopping bags and I couldn't release myself !!

[Lesley]

 

Take the door off Kate - it will only be a bit c

[Mrs Frugal]

You and your typos -

 

....it will only be a bit C?

 

Chilly?

Cold?

Catastrophic?

Criminal inviting?

 

[Lesley]

I wonder where that bit went - as a moderator can you find it for me??

 

Chilly was the word!

[SarahJo]

Oh, you Chatty Chickens, you are FUNNY

Nicola, I nver had any bags in the 1st place . I was never really that girly, always rucksacks or made sure I had pockets. The other option .. fill up Grahams pockets , just a snag with what he will actually carry .

 

Why is it you always catch your fav top on the door handle .

Oh Lesley and Kate you do make me laugh, I knew coming on here would cheer me up.

 

I looked at the bottom of the screen in case the word had fallen down there!

The missing word will be in the back of your monitor. My grandad alway used to complain if we watched Westerns on his T.V. he said it was a rotten job sweeping all those bodies out of the back the next day

[Mrs Frugal]

 

I just thought Lesley was having a senior moment and had forgotten what she was talking about in mid sentence!!

 

Sorry Lesley !

[Lesley]

Senior Moments? Me?

Brilliant Sarah but I've spent this long trying to understand it

cos I was assuming that the door handle had already won but that depends on how easily the bag breaks.....

 

obviously I've been taking this far too seriously...

 

could you all just speak very slowly when describing these complicated pearls of wisdom.

 

Remember I've had a nasty shock earlier & then been making tea ever since.....

 

Also, reminded me of another unfortunate incident...

 

Once, when heavily pregnant with 2nd son I had taken eldest over to the park.

He was at that toddler stage of going on a large slide if there was one person to see him up the steps & another to catch him.

 

On my own that day but he was desperate to go on the slide.

 

I had to weigh up possibilities...if I didn't catch him he may shoot off end of long slide....

but, going up steps on his own was more dangerous as he was at that stage of sometimes missing his foothold, or leaning back at the wrong moment or sitting back too far at top of slide....& too high for me to reach him from the ground,

 

No choice then, having got into this, than to go up behind him & both go down together. (No one around, good)

 

So, both went up, he sat down & I held onto him with one hand & held rail with other hand to lower vast bulk to sit at top.

 

Then bag strap caught around rail as I sat down BUT, believe me I was in no position to get up once I was sat on slide & I didn't have spare hand to unhook myself (Wish THAT bag had broken)

 

Now completely torn between hoping no one could see me (would have made good Candid Camera) & actually hoping someone would rescue me or gradually slipping one year old.

 

In the end, gently as poss let go and watched my 1st born whizz down, then was able, eventually, to free myself & slide down...with severe wedging possibilities..how dignified

 

Then had to run after toddler who was heading back to steps shouting MORE

and take him straight home poor kid.
