Fiona, we've all done things like that i'm sure...i know i have. There's five and a half years between our two and I left her asleep when i took my son to school in the mornings once or twice...we lived about a ten minute walk from the school and she would have grizzled all the way!! When i think back i feel so bad about doing that...but i was so tired!

Pam (a guilt ridden mum!)

Yes indeed, what an inocent lot we were weren't we? But it was nicer, we didn't grow up too quick.

I remember 1 day when daughter no2 was about a week old, I had taken her oldest sister to school and walked down the road into town to do some shopping and on my way home decided to pop into the chemist to get some more nappies, the shop had a big window so I left the pram outside and walked in I could see the pram ok , did my shopping and as I walked out of the shop was met by a friend, started chatting and about 20 mins after turned and headed back to wards home was about 5mins along the road and realised I left the baby outside the shop, there 7 years between my girls so I was quite used to not having any little one with me, I felt terrible ,dashed back and the baby was still there and fast asleep, I was shaking like a leaf. I was one lucky lady,

Helen, that is sooo funny.

I remember being told about the birds and the bees from a friend, and was horrified at the age of 11-and-a-half to think my parents had done a certain act TWICE, once for me and once for my sister! Shocking!!

I was still playing with my dolls at that age - not like today's 11 and a half year olds!

My little grandson said nanny when you make me a sandwich will you cut the skin off ........he meant the crusts

..................and did it Helen! ☺

Hi amanda, I'm fine thanks, hope you are too.

Little boys make you laugh don't they...my son refused to take his wellies off before bed and we had to wait 'til he was asleep to get them off him, this fase went on for about a couple of weeks.

(I wouldn't mind...but he was 24!!) only kidding!

Kids are funny aren't they.My son was looking through the Claire Raynor book about telling children about the birds and bees.There was a cartoony type picture of a man's ere**ion and he came running in to me me and showed me the picture and said"you better tell Dad to expect this to happen"!!!!!

Yes tina, we're so different from men.

My husband was very shocked the other week as they have women cleaners where he works in the summer and he over heard what some of them were talking about...he came home in shock, it really did shake him! He said i know you wouldn't talk about things like that...I had to agree when he told me I thought, no i wouldn't...it was very bad!

Hi Pam ,how are you ?
when my son was little he had a pair of swimming goggles which he took to bed with him ,when i went in to turn his light off
he sat upright in bed and said
who is it i carn't see
the goggles had all steamed up and he could'nt see a thing lol
another time he had one of those plastic macs and he had put it on in bed
he went to sleep in it
did'nt i have a job to get it off because he had sweated so much it stuck to him lol

Awwh bless his little heart. Yes I think he would kill you Pam. Men dont like being discussed anyway do they?

When I happened to slip what we ladies in work were talking about one day he was horrified. I said we ladies talk about all things and everything, we are not prudish or embarrassed. lol

EDIT: No probs Fiona lol xx

Yes it sounds so sweet, better than ar*e!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Oh dear, I couldn't resist!!

sorry harpstrings I deleated that question as I got carried away and realised I had put the question on the wrong thread. or does it matter, it's this jumping from one to thread another old age is creeping up on me

Love to see you using the Botty Cheeks Pam lol.I don't know why I call them that .Think it must come from way back

Many stories!!

Well this is about my son...he'd kill me if he knew, but it's so sweet!!

His Hero on the telly was "Dogtanian". A cartoon featuring a dog dressed like a cavalier. The dog was a spaniel, so had a tail...my husband and myself woke one Sunday morning to the sight of our son, who was about 4 at the time wearing my boots, hat, a plastic sword and no pants...best bit though...for the tail, he'd got a long piece of loo paper and stuck it between his botty cheeks!!!

Now you know why he'd kill me!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea what mine got up to Fiona lol cos I have not got any! lololol

But no doubt they would have taken after their mother and been little angels - not. I was a tomboy, always playing around with the lads, climbing up apple and plum trees, robbing carrots from peoples allotments,playing cricket in the street, and cutting my hair just before a photo shoot! ooh I was a norty girlie. LOL

Thats what us women do Pam isn't it.Men wouldn't have such a range of subjects to chat about.We can flit from one thing to another quite easily.Bit like multi tasking lol

Hello Pam, I am fine thanks.

Oh she lies! lol Why do we always say that, even if we are sat in the doctors surgery waiting to be seen. A neighbour will come and sit next to you and we always say "how are you" and reply "oh I am very well thanks" lol.

Achey joints right knee killing me back also killing me this evening. But apart from that ok lol

When my best friend died ,her children decided 1 hour before the funeral that they wanted to see her.It is too complicated to explain but her kids were with us and the cortege went from my house.My OH made a quick call to the funeral people and just managed to take M&R to see their Mum.Talk about last minute.That was such a terrible day.

Mum was taken sometime from the hospital to our chosen chapel of rest in another town, in fact it was straight across from the church where she was baptized and where mum& dad were married.
So it was really handy on the day of the funeral she was already lying there when we arrived at the church.
