Moos

'Trousered' in my yoof meant inebriated.

The one with a handful of comments since the opening of the playground, the last one being 3 days ago? Yep, that's the one.

We appear to live in a society where commenting on the graffiti in the new playground is more worth our while than commenting on the existence of the playground itself.

Our church's rules are that g'parents need to be both baptised and confirmed to be entered into the register as g'parents. However, non-official g'parents were also welcomed at the ceremony, and the vicar was very nice about it - just explained that he was unable to register them because it was against the rules. I'd have thought that non-baptised, non-confirmed g'parents wouldn't be all that bothered about whether they go in the register anyway?

When Rosie and I bought you some time ago and promised you an allowance of honey and hats there was no talk of this craziness, this mooning, this crushery. I demand a share in the craziness or I shall sulk. And I might bring giggirl and legalbeagle with me.

You did say 21 months, right? Think you're safe, Molly! :) I was offered WNTTAK to read when I was pregnant with Moosling - very glad I said no. Come to think of it, The Road might be a scary one for prospective dads.

the female 3 year olds?

Since we've had sixpence, how about tuppence? Also, Junoesque.

I had it, didn't work for me. But it's a proven technique, and worth a go. Your daughter should be prepared for it to be painful, or at best very uncomfortable. Best of luck to her for a fast onset of labour and a safe delivery!

Shouldn't that have been 'Each 2'?

Am I really the first to comment? We had lots of fun whizzing abou the new playground late this afternoon, and it was lovely to see so many families there hanging out on the grass and enjoying themselves. The new bouncy things are good, but the best part for us was the grassy hillocked area, with tunnels, climbing log and slide. Bit of a shame the big climbing tower and nets weren't ready - not that it stopped quite a few kids - and that there was so very much litter, but that wasn't going to spoil a golden afternoon. Well done indeed, FOGG and everyone who made it possible. Inspiring for those of us who'd love to see some more investment in the Peckham Rye Park playground...

Pretty sure you can count on baby squidginess, buggie - hurray.

LB, I've just spent about 10 minutes trying to read your posts to Mr. Moos. It took 10 minutes because both of us were crying with laughter and I had become completely incoherent as a result. Brilliant.

I hadn't! Thank you so much for citing it - I could only find a crappy recording on YouTube, but brought tears to my eyes. The song is more of a showcase for Jessye Norman's wonderful richness (love her too) but they both shine.

Actually, on reflection I owe newmother an apology for my last post - it was a minor comment and I didn't mean to have a go at her for it. Sorry.

I'm sure newmother didn't mean to make anyone feel guilty, but a moment's thought would have concluded that it was the only possible outcome from the comment in that context! I posted on that thread you hated, and don't give a damn if you or anyone else didn't like it.

Evolution

There always seems to be a 'song of the summer' which you hear all the time on the radio. I think 3 summers ago it was Crazy by Gnarls Barkley, which I liked.

Seconded, or is it 4thed on the MacLaren. One minor caveat is that although it lies flat it is forward facing so you can't see the baby as you push it along. That is why parent-facing prams are more popular and reassuring for parents of new babies. Try e-bay for new but cheaper prams - lots of shops sell old stock or old colours of good brands for much less than the ones in shops. (We also saved money by buying ours from a German retailer, but that was in the days of the cheap Euro, sigh.) This also works well for car seats, which you do have to buy new.

Supergolden88, I don't think it's fair to be made to feel guilty for your disappointment. Goodness knows there may be many, many people reading all of our chatter in the family room as we grumble about our children, who long to have kids. That doesn't invalidate your feelings or make them inappropriate in any way. I hope we all count our blessings, but that's not to say we aren't allowed to have negative feelings also about our children, it's part of life. I honour and appreciate your frankness.
