On the other hand I'm currently feeling pretty old after spending the day with my grand daughter AND mother at Cadbury World today. I must say my mother was by far the more difficult to deal with. My grand daughter was quite upset that I wasn't allowed on the climbing wall with her because I was aged over 12. She thought I should go ahead anyway as "no one will notice". I THINK that's a compliment... She now has a new baby sister (Ava) so she's hugely excited but we had an absolute ball!

My son still says I embarras him and he's 19 ! He will see something in the distance and say " No dad,, that's not for you" or things like that. The way I get round the under 12 age limit ... and here's a tip ... tell the supervisor you have 3 ages....

1... the age you act which for me coincides with my shoe size [10] so my son says "dad act your age and not your shoe size" ... that's the important one for the playgrounds
2... the age you always want to be ... mine is 23
3... the real age.

erm what's mine again?
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Oh yeah that's it!
The first is one of my life pholosophies - the politer version! The second is another life pholosophy. My third would be "What would you do if you weren't afraid?" from Who Moved my Cheese? Erm - another of my life pholosophies and something I asked my self every time I had to climb a ladder when I worked on building sites as I was terrified of heights but loved my job that involved them!

Mine was given to me on a little card by a friend who'd seen it and thought of me. I have no idea who said it or where she found it.

I got mine cos my friends mother used to say helsbells and buckets of blood.....not sure thats a nice thing, but it just stuck, my friend started calling me helsbells, then her brother and so on.
Also two of my favorite TV series say Helsbells in it (0r rather Hellsbells) Once in the Good Life, and once in Sex and The City!!

Well, mine comes from the poem 'I wish I'd picked more daisies'...

Alledgedly written by an elderly woman who regretted not doing the things she wanted to do, & who followed convention to the point that she missed out on things thru life...
I actually printed it off & framed it for the MIL, to show her that life's too short.... and to STOP worrying about what other folk think - if it feels good, do it!

Anyways..... she STILL cleans the house every tuesday & thursday - because the cleaner comes on wednesday & friday.... :?

Nooooooo!!!!

Ohmigod - my baggies go out on the line - anyone wanting to inspect are free to do so - even if that would make them more than a little odd :mrgreen:

And the MIL has told us in the last few days that she wants her funeral 'do' at a certain place, because they have 'posh chairs'....... I really wished she'd picked more daisies!!

doing the double check to see what mine is...

Oh yeah! One's my blog that never gets updated, and the other's a link to bookcrossing.

I did have 'The secret to linving's not dying' by Kilnaboy - it comes from The Octopus Song. I love Kilnaboy!

I was at the allotment today thinking random thoughts when suddenly someone's signature popped into my head.
"Those who mind don't matter. Those who matter don't mind". Whose was that? I really liked that one.

I haven't got one, and I'm jealous now!! Didn't know how to do it! I really like a quotation - Anon- "Man cannot discover new oceans until he has the courage to lose sight of the shore."
I also quite like "she had a go". pbf
