FREDDIESDOUBLE Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hi everyone..just a quickie, like everyone. I should not actually be sitting here in my dressing gown, I should be out with the dogs. Yes, I totally agree...I looked in on the 'personal life' thread and frankly couldn't be bothered to even post my opinion...I know we are older but really......words fail me! Carri, glad you enjoyed the film! Oh well, I thought I was really organised but keep thinking of a 1000 things that I haven't done! MM, sorry to hear about the children. I so hope get well soon..hopefully they will be ok but it must be very disapointing for them to miss this week at school..it is all part of Christmas isn't it. Thank you for the lovely greeting also, yes it has been a very special year for us all hasn't it..and all so unexpected! OK..must go..have a great day everyone and will send Wendi all your love when I text her. Love Kath x Yeh Ive got my hands full in that thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrinevie Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 helloo helloo hello - all ok?? Fd - am still ill - rumbling in my chest!!! Robi - yes Golden Compass was amazing - I cried!!! and am now reading the book! The personal Thread - hmm - v v difficult _ I can see there are a lot of dissollusioned young girls that obviously madly in love with our boy but.... I suppose we are here for the music and the entertainment factor - which is obviously helped by the fact tha he is sooo photogenic - - but the younger ones seemed to be upset about the "we dont care " attitude. Maybe we have nt explained it properly - but I really cant be ar**d to ! maybe we should say - "We don't mind" or "it doesnt matter" or even as its not going to affect any of us either way - "We're not Bovvered!!" ha ha ha off to put the kettle on - orders pl . . . . .

AnnaMariaPetra Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hi all! Is it as cold there with you as it is here in Holland? It's freezing (not too much though: minus 1 Celsius) and there is a cold sharp wind and no sunshine at all! You are pretty excited about Christmas, aren't you Carrie? Do your children know about Santa, I mean: do they know who is buying their presents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Holland we give presents with Sinterklaas. On the fifth of december. Normally the children know that he doesn't exist round the age of 7. My oldest who is almost 12 now, found it out by herself. Asking question and wondering about it. My middle (8) one has got no clue whatsoever! All her classmates now and they are so sweet not to tell her anything. They don't even laugh about it or tease her... My youngest is 5 and ofcourse a believer. I tell them though that there is no such man as Santa Claus, that he is just a dressed up man. And still they don't ask me any questions about Sinterklaas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrinevie Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I think my boy knows very well that there is no Santa but wont ask out right in case that means he doesnt get a stocking any more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kath Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hello everyone..activity in the Oldlings at last! Had a text from Wendi, she had a better night and is feeling a little better...good news indeed! Yes,I guess we need to try and remember what it is like to be a besotted teenager and everything that brings...we are looking at it with entirely different eyes. I guess age does have some advantages! Poor Fred, I hope you survive! Robi, your Christmas sounds an absolute delight and it is so lovely as I know exactly where you live so I can picture it all! Bye again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrinevie Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I think a lot of them wont accept any thing re the sexuality unless they see it for them selves - actaully thats not a good mental image is it!! and as I said in the other threads - if he gets marroed and has j=kids there will still be people saying thats just a front - as well as a lot of sobbing girls!! !

Suzy Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Good Morning! Kath - thank you for giving us updates on Wendi...it almost seems unfair for me to be bothered by so many trivial things around her - need to priortize and remember the more important things in life. Carrie and Robi - so your kids have seen (will see) the Golden Compass? Wondered about that too... Robi - your Christmas holidays sound amazing. It might be a good idea that there is no MFC for a little while...family time you know. (Should tell myself the same thing) Hi Freddie *waves* Hi Debbie *waves* Hunnyangel - you're welcome here too.
