OHMYGOD! I hate spiders... Runs from Dark Room...

I hate racists who begin a sentence with "Now I am not a racist but..."

You guys are simply amazing! Come on, post some more...

Lovely Mr Palaeologus, I share you passion for brussels sprouts! I have a super recipe for brussels sprout soup with just a touch of stilton - would you like it sweetie?

Dear Bob and Cassius, Thank you so much for kindly pointing the offending public houses out to me. Indeed I have never been in them and will never ever darken their doors now for sure!

OHMYGOD - Microban! I really believe that this is completely wrong. This country really should be much more child friendly than it is already, and this is a step backwards. I have been told off by countless au pairs (from Mediteranean countries) for not allowing my poppets to stay up past 7pm on a school night as the children should be welcomed to remain with the adults until they wish to sleep. I personally enjoy routine, and feel that grown-ups need their space, but I can see where they are coming from. I would never like my children to feel that they were considered a nuisance. I will not go near a Witherspoons pub from now on. (Could anyone point one out to me so that I can be sure to avoid it?)

The Boxwood at The Berkely Hotel is amazingly child friendly for such a super restaurant. They give the poppets a pack of goodies (stickers/crayons/colouring book) to occupy them as soon as they arrive, and take their order in minutes. The darlings have their food before the waiting staff have even taken the adults orders and then when the children are finished they took ours into the kitchen to sample marsmallows with the lovely pastry chef and gave them a guided tour of Gordon's pass and kitchens. It really was superb and the children just loved it. I was shocked as I don't bring them to adult eateries too often, I don't like to see them spoil a meal for others with their ... outragous tantrums exuberance. They are not little adults afterall, just little children. Munchkins are positively embraced at Gordon Ramsay restaurants, which I must admit was rather a shock, but then I suppose he has a young family himself so perhaps he knows what it takes to keep them happy! Actually, speaking of little children, have any of you discovered the High School Musical Karaokee Wii game over Christmas? My husband James is completely addicted to it! He loves to sing Gabrielas songs!

24 SEVEN (grrr)

Thats it then, I shall be the one on the horse with the hunting pink jacket! TALLY HO!

OHMYGOD!

Please don't tantalise me sooo sweetie, or I shall be back up those stairs...

OHMYGOD!!! I think this is so very sad. Why do people seem so un-munchkin friendly all of a sudden? Why darling poppets are just the best thing ever. Can I top up a drink for anyone?

Please don't tantalise me dear heart, I am on a diet and I am completely ravenous! James just found me standing beside Freyas bed, watching the portly poppet sleep - with two slices of buttered bread and a bottle of ketchup in my hands... Yum!

Lovely Michael - you are sooo damn cosmopolitan! Did you bring us back any gifties?

I love the name Matilda - how very cute... OHMYGOD, I am sooo broody now!

OHMYGOD!!!!!!! Darling Mr Batdog!!! (...swoon) James would not notice if I pierced my eyebrows and called myself Kevin. Lovely Macker - indeed they are the peppery ones...

OHMYGOD! Mr Huguenot - did you have a pilonidal sinus or a bowel obstruction? I am simply fascinated now...

I think as I am on my diet - it would be: Brussels sprouts Celeriac Swede Turnip Asparagus and I would save the Avocado I feel slimmer already!

One can carry a couple of extra pounds at Christmas time and still fit into great shoes darling!

I am here - lying under the armchair, that Rescue Remedy - it is lethal!

Make mine a large one please, these school holidays are sooo very long indeed dear Macker. Would you like one of these lovely Marks and Spencer's giant cashews?

Happy New year to one and all of the super forumites. I will lose weight. I will cut down on the vino. I will, I will, I will...

In the name of God! This is pure filth...

Texts Father O'Connor for urgent advice - I am so very terrified that the talk in here will become base and thus cause local property values to plummet... Drinks entire bottle of Rescue Remedy to calm the situation.

Have you tried Beechams Hot Berry Plus for flue? It is simply divine. I like mine in a big mug by the fire. Here, have this one...
