The Dogmother Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Great idea it's a fab family event, with fire-starting classes for free, and we'll make you most welcome. Bring your own spatula (in joke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Nooooo not the spatula!!! Yup, keep in touch with a lot of peeps on FB - Squiddles being one. Clootie is still around although no more chooks and moved house a while back. She's fine and we keep in touch, although she's quite busy nowadays. Ma wee Scotty dumpling! Christian torments us with pics of lovely bento boxes for his lunch on FB. Some I meet up at the shows and I can never remember who they are on here!

Alis girls Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sorry rubbish at names - but a couple of years back there was a lovely lady who got PND - she posted on the forum and then seemed to disappear. I think baby would be 2ish now. I remember Beckyboo. If anyone speaks to Docsquid say hello from me - shes lives Tamworth way I'm from down the road in Measham (but in the big smoke now) waves. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'll pass it on now Ali, as I've just been speaking to her. We speak every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Gosh this is a trip down memory lane hearing all these names that are no longer around on the forum. I also remember Rhapsody used to post a lot but then disappeared. Come back all you old Omleteers - we miss you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Was Rhapsody the one with the James May avatar? And who was the Sean Bean fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yes, that's right. The Sean Bean one rings a bell but I can't think who that was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yes, that's right. The Sean Bean one rings a bell but I can't think who that was? That was Cinnamon/Sarah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Goodness, makes me feel like a newbie I tend to remember people by their avatars (having repeatedly failed with mine!) I do remember the James May one - and the moving Robert Carlyle (sp?) how do you do that!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 There's a few other old 'uns who have not been on here for years. Theherd123, think her name was Emma and she was in Brum. Buffie, think she was something to do with rescue hens? Mel (and Paul), Chookiehen, Popcorn (she changed her forum name to this and I could never remember who she used to be!), Ginette, GRD, Dan and Debs. Of course, Kate, who held everything together in the early days, was she originally SuperKate, then became Mrs Frugal? Anyone else remember them? They're all on FB so I hear a lot about them all. Kate and I joined the forum on the same day - 10 years ago!, I chat to Kate every day by email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I chat to Kate every day by email. Please send her my best wishes, Lesley. If I remember she had two boys? They must be all grown up by now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It was Snowberry that had the Robert Carlyle avatar. She's from down my way but hasn't been on here for ages. I remember Chelsea- especially the photo of her chicken wearing a pair of her husbands old underpants To aid her recovery from a prolapse I think... obviously...

Chortle Chook Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I've not been around so long that I know some of the names mentioned here, but I do miss Squiffs and her Silkies and also bouldercroft whose Eglu withstood a huricane in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Ohhh and Angel babe who I think is in Florida - haven't been in contact for ages on FB. I wonder if he's OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Christian torments us with pics of lovely bento boxes for his lunch on FB. 'Torments us'?? Lol! I haven't been around 'live' as such for months. I still do the admin for the forum etc and log in every day, but don't post as often as I should. I lost my Mum to breast cancer (aged 64) last August and it's made me reevaluate parts of my life tbh. I do love the forum, but with the wonder dog that mum and I rescued, the hens, garden, crafting, quilting, bento box making etc etc I have less time for the forum now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 There was also a lady who had problems with a batty neighbour ( i know theres been a few of them) her name was something like " 2 names and mum" at the end - i think may have been her kids names. She posted for a while and then went quiet. I remember "Squiff" did she have Zena the wonder hen? I think this hen turned up in her garden and she kept her. Oh I wish my memory was better.

Chortle Chook Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Sorry about your mum, Christian. Alis Girls - your memory seems to line up with mine on Xena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Sorry to hear about your mum Christian, 64 is no age that must have been very difficult. I found people on the forum a comfort when my father died, and their gentle support through one or two family events I really didn't want to do helped me get through (although one argumentative person nearly drove me off completely and has changed how I feel about posting ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Fortunately this forum has very few negative aggressive people. One of the reasons that I have stayed Sorry to hear about your mum Christian but nice to hear from you, had a nosy at your blog too, glad Milo is still being a wonder dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
