The Martin WooHoodStock Thread

Whenever I use the word 'experiment'...
It *really* means ...experiment.
So yeah. Too nice to be buried in PB, not nice enough to be saved for Martinmas. :

What's wrong with it? I think it's great - always love your experimentations

Yeah...
Make that 28,600

*waves to Sammie* Welcome back

*readies supply of kleenex*

No, you're alright - I think I've had enough soul-cleansing to last me for a while

[Cagranosalis]

Firstly, Jumble! There's no such thing as took much Martin talk. How many times do we have to tell you. I mean, you hardly ever mention him as it is...

And secondly and more importantly, huge congratulations of the ridiculously impressive post count. How many times have you posted the word Martin I wonder?

Hello WooHoos.

I really found all your points on children and the way they are raised to be so interesting. I don't really have that much to add - we didn't have much money, so - but I will add to the Christmas talk, I was only allowed to give Christmas cards to those that gave me one (which always confused me, how did the other person know to go first?). So, I spent all of December taking one card to school at a time. And, Cags, I always got a satsuma in my stocking! Always. Still do, actually, because between the three of us (sisters) we each do one stocking, and always put fruit at the bottom of it.

Yep, the satsuma goes right down in the toe, that's the way.

Hello, everyone.
I haven't been here for a long time and I don't know if I should feel ashamed. My RL kept me busy. My life changed, A LOT! I finished school and I started working in pharmacy. I go to work every day, I have to (and I want to, yeah, surprise ) spend some time with my family and my dog. I am always happy that I can be on FB or Twitter for a little moment at least. I didn't forget about you, don't worry.
Yesterday, Jumble wrote on my FB wall that she didn't see me here for a long time and I promised her I would come among you today. So here I am. Can I join you in celebrating MartinMas? If you are able to stand me here, I can bring some Martin artwork with me and I am also going to bake sweets and cookies. No, no .. it's not a bribe, I swear :

How have you been, all of you?
And one important thing at the end of my message.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND MARTINMAS !! Enjoy the Christmas atmosphere.
*hugs*

Oooh hello stranger. *huggles* for the busy life. Glad it's busy in a good way. Merry Chirstmas and Martinmas to you too.

Poor geezer!

You're kidding right? That's awesome!

I always admire all the lovely artwork you people do. I was barely able to put anything together - mainly because I don't have the damndest idea what I'm doing! But I try! I am much more comfortable writing something! There I feel I have some control....all though my mind does take me to some very strange places sometimes!

Ah but you dig in and try and that's what counts.


Benjabubs was in his school Chirstmas play today. Very, er, different. Short and sweet too, which suits me actually. He performed really well and did all the actions to the song with enthusiams and much better than all the other children....well I think he was better than the others of course! I didn't blub. I nearly did but I managed not to. I'll pop a picture up tomorrow if I get time.
I put my tree up today too. Ben has been nagging me and I caved in. Cue three days of rearranging the lights to suit my perfectionism. Now, the question is, do I just throw all the multi-colour baubles and tinsel at it and make it a real mess of sparkly goodness... or do I go with my sophisticated blue/silver/white crystals, stars and snowflakes theme? Or shall I just get another tree and do both!
Oh and I bought a couple of bargain advent calenders for 10p each for me and Ben today too. He actually has a proper wooden one with little drawers that you can put little things in (not just chocolate) but I forgot to get it out the loft in time. Still, 2 weeks of chocolate in one sitting wasn't too bad.

Well, not very often obviously, because there are always so many other conversations going on here and I don't like to interrupt the flow

Poor Martin - he's probably given up lurking because he had to search so hard to find any mention of himself or even one single picture

I shall make myself a New Year's Resolution to mention his name or post a pic at least once a week *nods*

Yep, the satsuma goes right down in the toe, that's the way.

So brainwashed was I that I still only ever eat satsumas at Christmas

You didn't blub at your son's very first school Nativity play? Shame on you, you awful mother!

I vote for the messy look - once Ben has pulled it to bits searching for the elusive chocolate bells it'll be in a right jumble anyway

And no, that's not how I got my name

Ok, confession time..... I promised myself that this year I wood NOT buy a tin of Roses in November and eat them all before Christmas, and I almost made it. Almost. Tesco had them at half price last week so I couldn't resist

*looks forlornly at empty tin*

But this time I am determined not to buy another one.......

[Cagranosalis]

I spent £300+ in Sainsbury's today. I have a fridge full of cheese. I better damn well get some cheese loving visitors over Christmas or I'm gonna get fat.... fatter then. I didn't get tins of chocolate though. No, I know what I am like and they'd be goe before Chirstmas as well. I don't do tree chocolates because my cats like them too much. I do candy canes though. Gotta have candy cane on the tree!

Ben did have a school singalong/play last year at pre-school so technically this wasn't his first. That one I could barely pluck up the strength to go watch, much less hold the tears at bay. This was a lot easier. And he was the best, so there.

[Nolamom]

I miss Sainsbury's! (How silly to miss a grocery) You guys are terrible mentioning things that remind me of lovely times past... Now I need a big tin of biscuits!

Some bits for today:

A bit late, but jumping in. I think the empty vessel thing for children is only partially true. Children can be raised around hate and abuse and still become compassionate, loving human beings. It's harder, but not in any way impossible. Just sayin. No child should be raised in that environment, but many are and still manage to turn out okay, even if many do not.

I'll do my best to come and help you out with that

And of course he was the best!

True In fact, I believe some turn out that way because of that. I learned very early on exactly how I wood not treat my children when I grew up

Why? You surely must know that missing out your daily dose of WooHoo insanity is very bad for your health???



I hope you'll be able to be around for Martinmas - starts on Monday


*waves to Laurie*

I'm fine, despite having to get up and work on my day off

I've made some things for Martinmas already! Weeeee! *is trying to exercise self-control by not posting something now...*

Edit: Oh! How was the Woohoomeet??! I mean, I'm sure it was great, but are there any compromising pictures? Any at all?

lol, I almost wrote how was the shipmeet! *giggles*
