My mum’s nickname is boadicca or Bo for short. Not so funny thing is she’s thinking about coming into the woods - we are waiting for an appointment for a mammogram etc cos she’s found a lump. This will come while i’m just going thru my last fec cycle.
Its not that i haven’t had some great times in the woods with you all but still… I hope she doesn’t come and join us!
hugs

Oh dear, Dawn’s mum - I do hope it’s a cyst or fibro-adenoma or even just a pea she swallowed. Not that I’m sure she’ll be a welcome addition, being called Boadicca and everything.
It must be awful for you, feeling like it’s all starting again. <hug></hug>
I’ve been stuck up to my knees in Mx Marsh the last few days, i was in danger of being stuck there forever but somehow i managed to pull one leg out high enough to give myself a great big kick up the a*se.
So now i’m back and i’m pi**ed off! I’ve stomped down to the
2-fingered salute and hoisted it higher, found NE and give him a slap, blasted the flamethrower at any passing Gremlin AND secured all loose tent pegs.
I’m now off to the JM where i intend to drink copious amounts of liquer and only stop when i can’t lift the glass to my mouth because i don’t know where my mouth is.
On a happier note: whilst i was indulging in my stomp and sulk my wayward eyebrows found me and are now back in their rightful home. I’ve stuck sellotape over them to make sure they don’t leg-it again -so when you see me tonight you’ll know it’s not a botched botox job causing the constant look of surprise.
Right then, to the JM x
Thanks Ninja
I am Martin Luther King*
SCACO i too have the trademark sellotaped eyebrows and wayward underarm hair - so not a good look!
hugs all
Dawn
*I am not really Martin Luther King - he was the leader of the african-american civil rights movement.
I am Queen Elizabeth.*
Just looking around for the getupandgo fairy to drag me out of my tent. So cozy in here what with my throne and plumped cushions and everything.
*I really am Queen Elizabeth, Kick @ss queen, and in a former life obviously.
I only have one-and-a-half eyebrows now. Oh, how I wish I’d known about the sellotape trick. Would t*t tape do instead?
Hips: I’ve had getupandgo fairy all day with me, sorry for hogging her. We went to the park, walked slowly round the lake for an hour and then had tea in the cafe.
I’ve also packed up two boxes of fragile kitchen stuff and sealed and labelled the first seven boxes of books. I feel quite normal!

RE: T*t tape -
where it with caution, you may find NE (who is the biggest t*t in the Woods by far) stuck to your head.
OMG that would be a dic*head!
I am Charles Babbage*. I am one of Ninja’s heroes. I invented, and built, the world’s first programmable computer.
What is less known is that I also invented the Locomotive ‘cow catcher’.
*I’m not really Charles Babbage, so it wasn’t really me who had an affair with Ada Lovelace, after whom one of the early programming languages (called Ada, obviously) was named.
I am Nicolai Poliakoff, a.k.a. Coco the Clown.
You know the one, SERIOUSLY bad hair day, NO dress sense, extremely clumsy, frequently on the receiving end of custard pies, “interesting” style of makeup, smile painted on even when feeling glum. Yup, definitely sounds like me.
* I’m not really, I think I might be Nicolai’s son Michael, who was also called Coco the Clown. Nicolai was originally from Latvia, but moved to the UK to clown in 1929. Michael, his son, was also a clown and has the ignominious honour to have revamped Ronald MacDonald in 1966.
I must say, there are some interesting facts coming out!
I am Edward Lear*
no really, i can prove it:
There was a great camp in the woods
girlz standing proud without hoods
with bald heads on show
and bodies all aglow
they feasted on chocolate and puds
*ok i’m not really - he popularised Limericks and wrote much better ones than that
I’m full of good intentions.Was going to get the bagpipes out, put on the kilt and tartan merkin, look out my flamethrower and go on the warpath for gremlins ---- but I’m too tired, my eyes are shutting and my tent beckons. I’m yawning my head off and can’t wait to sink into the soft pillows.Can’t even think of anyone I want to be!Gonna persuade pleasant dreams fairy and her friend who plays nice soft music on the harp yaaaawwwnnnnnnn!OOps sorry,
see you in the morning

Shar look after all your blood cells please!
Good morning oh inspirational beautiful shaped headed ones, how are we all today?
Me? Well it feels like someone ran over me and my tent in a 20 tonne truck and then went and did it again, yep the tax truck has hit big styleeee. I have managed to plod downstairs and plonk on sofa and that’s as far as I am going unless the sun behaves and stays out, in which case I may make it to the garden.
Changing the subject completely does anyone know where you can get the pink breast cancer wrist bands from please? My 7 year old daughter has said she would like one but they are all sold out on this site. I am reluctant to buy from somewhere like eBay as I am not convinced the money will go to the right place. Failing that any other ideas what I can buy her as she wants to show her support? Pink and fluffy is not my taste but she loves it and wants to feel like she is helping.
Hi
That Tax Truck is a flippin nuisance - I did take the wheels off it a while back but guessing the Gremlins have put them back on. Leave it with me, i shall track it down and sort it.
i’m not sure about the pink wristbands but i did notice that Accesorize had some bracelets to support BC, not pink but very nice.

Thanks SCACO if you could sort the Tax Truck that would be great, maybe we could get it to run over a few gremlins while we are at it.
I shall have a look in Accesorize she would like something like that I think, I wouldn’t have thought to look in there. Thank you.
My daughter just gave me a double pink wristband today - she got it from her local Cancer Research charity shop. It has a bright pink one intertwined (kinda crossed over and permanently together) with a pale pink one that says “all join together” in pink script. The bright pink one has Cancer Research embossed into it. Not breast cancer per se, but still pink and rather nice.
She says that her local CR chassy shop has loads of products like that and she got a BC charm bracelet for me last month.
Excellent thank you Ninja, think I will get friends and family to start looking for me in the local Cancer Research shops in that case.
Evening all,
Hope everyone has had a good weekend, mine is just starting to perk up (and it’s almost over). After the aches/pains of the last few days, can’t say I’m looking forward to hitching on the Tax truck in a couple of months time…
Would love to play the ‘I am’ game, but really can’t get brain into gear to think…
Glastonbury Festival is next weekend and having given up my ticket this year (boooooooo), I’m planning a weekend of non-stop partying in the woods. I hope you’ll join me in making plans this week…
This could involve headlining acts including the woodland bands ‘Twisted Nipple’, ‘The Mood Muggers’ and ‘The Chemical Brothers’. There will be an ‘unfairground’ and an ‘Unfit State Circus’. In addition to the JM, a watering hole ‘Pussy Parlure’ complete with a pastries bar ‘Croissant Neuf’. I’ll be breaking into the pear cider on Wed eve (as is Glasters tradition) and be in a state of denial for a few days thereafter…
