You're as old as you feel. Which today makes me about 95.

Ouch.

Today, I'm being about 12. We went, with our usual gang, to see Harry Potter. It was quite weird really - I'm not sure many of us actually wanted to go but, because we've been going all these years, there was almost an obligation to... Anyway, it was pretty zzzzzzzzz and I couldn't tell you what happened in any detail because I kept thinking about what to get from Tesco's afterwards.

And I caught my first mouse of the season. Bit early but the rain's obviously making them re-think their living arrangements.

Exciting stuff, right?

Batty Can't believe you were thinking about Tesco's in the final HP movie

I'm obviously nearer 12 than you are 'cos I thought it was fab

You can be 95 instead

It had to be Tesco. It's next door to the cinema.

Man in the supermarket yesterday thought I was his mum - he was about 38 . I was feeling really good about myself till then as I'd just had my hair done and my eyebrows and 'tache waxed on Tuesday.

@Handymelon - one of my wee dogs keeps waking me up at stupid o'clock to be let out for a pee or wanting food. Other times her snoring wakes me up. Last night at 3.30am she woke me up crying (it progressed to full scale howling)as she was downstairs sleeping when we went to bed and when she woke up she was all alone. At night she normally sleeps on the floor at my side of the bed. Snoring in stereo - her on the floor and Himself on my other side- wonderful!

My dogs have many issues i.e Pixie is scared of the dark and Merlin is scared of the fireplace.

Evening all.

I'm miserable tonight - my lovely member of department has left for another school as part of the school closure programme, so when i go back I'll be a one-woman department
Mr M's got a cold, Melony's got a cough and is back to being an equine posterior, and I'm officially Fed Up. Holidays? Phooey!

Pixie - when I read posts like that I'm glad we've got cats! They don't give a monkey's what we do so long as they get fed on time and their baskets are in the kitchen by the radiator at night...

Can I ask another (possibly stupid ) question? I know that post counts don't erm, count on here. But can anyone quote the posts here? I've thought about posting in advice before but been put off a bit.

Hello lovely people.

I'm planning a weekend in Liverpool where they're celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Liver Buildings with a Son et lumière display. The new museum will be opening and I expect the city to be buzzing.

Hope it doesn't rain - or I might need Jeeves to hold the brolly again!

You mean quote them like this?

Not sure how that relates to advice though, it's a different forum to chatter and I think posts count in there.

Sorry if I said it wrong. If I say something on here, can it be quoted elsewhere? I have said some things in chatter and I wonder if they can be quoted elsewhere?

Only if people take the time to copy and paste them, I think. And only if someone's trying to trip you up or make a point.

You seem worried?

I think I might have given too much information on my private life. That is all.

People on here have been lovely though

@ Natures_Law - Please don't worry. People on forums can be so judgemental and say thing they would never say in real life. For most of them it's forgotton in an instant.

Have a wee wrap in the shawl.

Infact - everyone have a wrap in the shawl. It makes everything seem so much better.

*sends good vibes all around*

Here, I've been informed by the boy of what I'm doing today () and it appears that I'm being a taxi for him and his mates ( x 100).

I don't mind really... just thought I'd have a little grump.

Find the post you made that worries you, alert it using the button, and ask the mods to delete it and any subsequent quotes. As long as you're polite, they'll be helpful I'm sure.
