We use that in the house a lot.<br /><br />One that had me in stitches this last week is the one where Phoebe wants to play at Monica and Chandlers Wedding. She's so angry and shouts out on her guitar '....Whenever I get married, guess who wont be asked to sing? Somebody named Geller and somebody else named Bing......' Ah just cracks me up........we had that on repeat for about half an hour!<br /><br />also......Joey.....'some girl ate monica'.....Monica......'shut up, the camera adds 10lbs'......Chandler...'ah, so how many cameras are actually on you'......we use that one a lot too!<br /><br />Will be sad when E4 stop the re-runs. Sad but true, the theme song was the first thing that baby bear responded too as a newborn. I am convinced he heard it so much in the womb that it struck a chord with him.<br /><br />xxxxxxxxxxCoco Rose Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00708755502453874593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508363601981497644.post-21833022444594032122011-08-02T08:43:32.210+01:002011-08-02T08:43:32.210+01:00Yet another classic post!

Clearly I have a lot to learn from the hexpert.<br /><br />My favourite Friends quote is from that episode too; it's when Monica sees the bracelet and says (something like) "nice bracelet, must have cost you a fair few dubloons".<br /><br />Must go and do my own blog as I have been hopeless lately, and hopefully I will reply to your email some time this decade too.

Hope so!!!!!!! Love the pic of Mr C doing his thing with babe by his side........gets the 'awww' vote!<br /><br />Can't see Mr H getting into it quite as much, but he thinks it's 'cute' that I do it and likes all the stuff around the house.....by that i mean the finished projects........not so keen on all the 'yarn crap' everywhere!!!!!! ha ha<br /><br />Sorry about the roof, old houses can be a pain. Hope it gets sorted before the next major downpour.<br /><br />The eldest master Cuckoos look so cute. Butter wouldn't melt....but I know that look all too well!<br /><br />Loved your blog award facts. I don't think it matters how long you have been with someone before you get it together...not one bit.<br /><br />With you on pinterest, but you know that! I seriously have to cut it down!<br /><br />I like laughter lines too, I like a face to have character. It gives more of a depth to a person. Maybe I'm just saying that though, because on a daily basis I see more and more appearing on my face!<br /><br />Laughing at the last pics......I thought you meant that you just lifted up the old shirt and had a good shake!

Seriously, a sincere congrats on the personal spiritual journey you've undertaken.<br /><br />On to cakes - my greatest weakness - I drooled when I saw your magnificent little anniversary cake. So so so pretty in all its simplicity. And that amazing transformation of the jeans-to-skirt. The ruffle was brilliant. My question to you...HOW on earth do you do it all?! Thanks for all the inspiration (on many levels :-))<br /><br />xJosie<br /><br />ps. you asked abt my rectangle granny...yes, it's 14 clusters along each side w/one cluster on each end and yes, skipping 3 chains (so starting your granny cluster in every 4th chain.

I wasn't raised Christian either... On one hand it was nice that I was able to make the decision for myself when I was old enough, but on the other hand I feel like I probably would have been able to steer clear of some bad stuff had I known the Lord at a younger age. And on yet ANOTHER hand, (which makes three) I am thankful I have gone through all the good and bad in my life because it made me who I am today. And that is all.

In my crochet bag is wool, hook and vaseline for I crochet with my tongue out so get chapped lips<br />3) getting yourself 'done'! I too wondered what you meant, but not telling you what went through my mind!<br />4) your make up looks like mine does every day - wondering if I look crackers?<br />5) re sucking fingers....Cleggy is sitting beside me and I said 'what would you use to stop a baby doing so'? he answered 'no more nails'. I think he meant 'stop and grow'. I hope he did.<br />6) love the flashing picture! Many years ago me and my (nuts) SIL Alice once ran ahead on a country walk and told the boys we would flash them from a nearby bridge. We got ready and jumped out on them as they approached. Except it wasn't them, it was a German family, and the parents covered their childrens eyes. We laughed so much we wee'd. The pesky boys had seen it coming and just waited at the bottom to watch the tragic joke unfold.<br />Love your posts<br />fee xfee @ chipper nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03413221467666029415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508363601981497644.post-32804402796166032182011-07-31T10:54:20.592+01:002011-07-31T10:54:20.592+01:00Getting yourself 'done' at the same time.....Getting yourself 'done' at the same time... ha! Love that expression, you make it sound like you're going to have your ears pierced or something! Good for you, making your own mind up regarding your own spiritual/religious beliefs and that's a very special thing for Bee to be involved with too, shows how much you love her. <br />Very impressed with Mr C learning to crochet but, as Sandi said, not fair that he learnt so quickly. Will you be showcasing the animals that he makes?! <br />You girls are making me laugh with your photos and memories of your past together. How funny that someone thought to take a photo! Looks like more than a flash to me; more of a topless rampage.... ha! <br />Nicki xx<br />PS beautiful photos of you - hair looks lovely. My very favourite is the one of you and Mr C crocheting.

I think it was the pink wool that tipped him over the edge, hee hee.<br />Secondly I LOVE LOVE LOVE your hair like this. I much prefer it longer and I think this is possibly the style you'd wanted for your 30th, but it went a bit wrong as you yourself pointed out. This style is just gorgeous and you look wonderful.<br />Your makeup doesn't look crackers, you look fab! I have loads of laughter lines, we should all embrace what we have. I NEVER call them crows feet, what an ugly term. Laughter lines is exactly what they are.<br />The dear boys are so cute, can't wait to see them.<br />Am tres jealous of KMMMS coming to stay with you this coming week.<br />Can I book in for a night or two next summer hols 2012? Would love that. I've never even had a Mojito. Not sure I even spelt it right!<br />Am still chuckling about that pic on the London Eye, I couldn't go, wasn't I pregnant and feeling rough? Can't remember. I recall various boob flashes over the years once we'd had a few. My days of that are well and truly over now though!!!! Wouldn't want to scare you all.<br />Can't wait to see you in October and big hug to all.<br />Please get Mr C to crochet me a goat sometime, they remain my favourite animal ever!!!<br />Loads of love and happy Sunday.<br /> x x xGemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131918878618386683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508363601981497644.post-27115129795863089222011-07-31T08:33:40.398+01:002011-07-31T08:33:40.398+01:00Long winter evening coming up.........Sitting and ...Long winter evening coming up.........Sitting and Crocheting together thats nice.<br />Later is a word its OK!<br />Your boys are lovely.

I have only flashed the bazooka's once to a friend when she walked out of the bathroom, she screamed and shut the door hehe. I hope I find my rock n roll mate one day, sooner rather than later, I'm not getting any younger and I want to enjoy more mad moments before the body can't do it any more. I'm not a religious person as such, I guess more spiritual, I believe in doing the right thing by people and walking on this earth softly, helping my fellow man where possible and being accountable for my actions, if I wouldn't like it to be done to me, then I don't do it to anyone else. I believe in lifting people up and not putting them down. I did have a giggle at your 'godmother' what a pair you make :)<br />I love the laughter lines too, I don't like the frown lines between my eyes, I think it makes me look grumpy and I am far from that, but if that is all I don't like then I am fairly blessed.<br />Toodle Mrs C xx Sandi<br />Oh my granddaughter did the sucking two fingers in the mouth too, she doesn't do it so much now, only when she is really tired.sandiarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395329327447746029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-508363601981497644.post-21016815963192536742011-07-31T04:32:24.315+01:002011-07-31T04:32:24.315+01:00OMG!!How crazy and adorable are you!!!Thank you fo...OMG!!How crazy and adorable are you!!!Thank you for bringing a smile on my face.
