I once overheard someone asking a new mum what her baby was called, and the answer sounded like porsh-a. Oh, like the car, said interested party? No, like the Shakespearian character, said annoyed new mum grin

My son's got a red porsche. As well as a proper car.

He always pronounces it porsh-a. hmm

Maggiemaybe, I feel it is very inappropriate of you to flaunt your wealth, especially as I have eleventy million less than you, I feel you are rubbing my nose in it rather! But as its C, no hard feelings xx

Yesterday I actually bought my first Christmas present! grin

I am a moderator on another site and I am always tempted to delete any thread that mentions C before December. Unfortunately not all the other moderators feel the same ?

BBbevan Thu 09-Jun-16 16:15:00

My lovely MiL put the sprouts on a fortnight before C They were usually bright yellow ( only joking)

"Big Red Button"

O M G !!!

I'll bet there really is one too.

kittylester Thu 09-Jun-16 13:57:21

I've said before, that the C word cannot be mentioned until after the November Street Fair!

ninathenana Thu 09-Jun-16 13:49:03

I have read the posts so far and will not be returning here until December.

Will you adopt me please Maggiemaybe As long as you don't mention the C word until November I would be a very good Daughter.

Shame on you Teetime! You're not allowed to say that word in full until December. Never mind deleting this thread, I reckon GNHQ should ban you for this grin

<hovers finger over the Big Red Button> grin

Maggiemaybe Thu 09-Jun-16 12:18:17

Aw, I love it! I won't say the word so as not to offend delicate sensibilities though. Time to start updating my spreadsheet, the one with the holly and jingle bells border.

I am spending eleventy million gazillion pounds on each of mine, Kateykrunch, and buying red Porsches for the DGS grin

GandTea Thu 09-Jun-16 11:28:02

KK, yes a diary, SO THAT YOU KNOW IT's NOT DECEMBER FOR MONTHS

Kateykrunch Thu 09-Jun-16 11:20:42

He..he...its a bit of an injoke....but.....I would like to spend a million, zillion pounds on my 2 adult children and their 4 offspring for wonderful Christmas presents, any suggestions for gifts for my limited budget would be appreciated. (Sorry!)

Greyduster Thu 09-Jun-16 10:40:28

WHAT?????

Jane10 Thu 09-Jun-16 10:02:11

Well I can't wait. I can't be doing with all this heat and summer activities. Roll on the Autumn and Winter. I miss my fleece and Ugg slippers...

GandTea Thu 09-Jun-16 09:53:50

GandTea Thu 09-Jun-16 09:42:17

Well this goes against all my standards but

FFS,, NOT the "C" word in June.

Alea Thu 09-Jun-16 09:41:22

Do you remember Bunty?
"Put sprouts in a pan with 3 large pebbles.
Cover with water.
Boil until the stones are soft"
