Oh boy!!! Heee heee heee!! Get out and about whilst you can - both of you!! Life is NEVER the same after the patter of little feet - or to be more honest the lungs at top volume at 3am...... Congratualtions to you both - I have finally got mine off my hands! Both are now out and about (Well daughter...

Munch, you need to understand the reason behind the fact the spam mail knows how to target you! Part of it comes from the use of your store cards - Tesco, Sainsbugs etc. Another lot comes from your credit cards (I have a bad credit rating so am not allowed one, although I get about 15 a day offering...

Wow - you boys really did get the good stuff!!! LOL ! We had nothing remotely like a settle - we had a little wooden tuck area/box in 5's sited on the wall near the cloakroom, where we could put our jam, sweets, and another place in the back of the house (dining room, next to the 5th form study) whe...

ok I am back in the frame after being out for a long time - sadly due to one persons words. No need to name and shame. I have some photo's of us from April this year - sadly not that many! For some reason I seemed too often to try to get a picture, only to find out it was all blurred (the old MS is ...

On two Sunday mornings every term, we got an in-house breakfast, which was a bit of a treat and consisted of pains-au-chocolats and proper coffee and hot chocolate (not just the stuff that came out of the machines in the dining hall) and some eggs, beans, bacon etc. It was always a really nice trea...

Thanks David - but I am a vegetarian, I eat on the cheap already - I do buy cat food as I can't tell them they can't have their meals because I have spent all my money! Maybe now DD has gone back to Uni, there will be a less of a drain on my money in the foood and grocery department. Other than goin...

First day - no idea, completely blank except still worried that I'd have to cut my very long hair (I'd read too many girls comics). It stayed long, but since I'd never really done my own hair before, I remember plaiting it took forever and I had to learn some new hairstyles. Last day 4th July , ver...

wow - how the system changed - prep on Saturday to lessons on Satruday to prep on Saturday!! I guess with each new Headmistress a few changes were made - After DRW we had Miss Tucker she left a couple of years after me, and Miss Morrison became head - so I can see that each had their own ideas of ho...

OK - I am ready for the men in white suits now.... Then I definately need some TLC from the Nuts team! I teach computing to U3A (Some of you may know of this massive group being of or above the admissable age) it's the University of the 3rd Age (you have to be 50 to join) SWMBO wants to join but th...

Mrs Dawson - Art Mistress - she had a daughter (Fiona Dawson) who was in 2's but was a DAY GIRL!! The only one ever as far as I know at Hertford! I didn't know that! The only girl I remember having a parent work at CH (Hertford) was the daughter of Nurse Chugg - she wasn't a day girl though and was...

I wish now that I had gone to the Auction - pity I was still in a bit of a fury over CH - if I could have anything now....hmm Cherry Red; Harris Tweed; I think that probably sums it up!!! Oh dear!! I do remember that if you were muscular or had "breasts" then the Sunday straight blue "...

I guess I am glad that we had normal (if you can call multi coloured ties representing each house! normal) ties, at least those I was able to do without pins!! The entire outfit of the boys I feel must be dreadfully heavy after wearing "civvies" all I remember for Housey with DS was that h...

You were ASKED to LEAVE??????????????????????????????? OMG... WHAT did you do (other than smoke)??? A long story Jude, cut short I had spent a large amount of the Michaelmas term in the infirmary, with visits to psychiatrists and psychologists, without being given a diagnosis, but taking quite a fe...

OK - I am ready for the men in white suits now.... I've got the white coat (well , it is slightly off white) and I'm sure I have cricket whites somewhere but I'm sure you don't need my ministrations :D :D :D As for the computer - use what you need, forget the rest. I used to teach Word (the Microso...
