Not yet OC, BUT she is coming for the day again tomorrow so I will work on it and let you know'!!!!! I am sure she will 'get to grips' if I show her how. OOOOuuuchchhhhh though - the likkle fingers !! - I will have to take care. Dea Xxx

Well, I thought Dea had given birth age 6 as well!!! Merry

Happy three quarters Merry!! Sarah :-) (just one month & one day younger) 1964 was a damned good year!

Happy birthday toooo yoooo Happy birthday toooo yoooo Happy birthday dear Merreeeee Happy birthday toooo yoooo Just you wait till you are One hundred and sixty three and a half like me. It will be great. We will be able to sit in the corner and be bewildered together.

I'm Sarah too.....Mum called me that because she thought it was a rare name. When I was at school we had 7 Sarahs in a class of 28. Most of them had the middle name Jane, like me! Merry

Angela, I am bewildered already! Merry

OC + Merry - I have to confess, I am feeling a little bit 'got at' !! I was NOT 6 when I gave birth, although I have to admit that at 16 I went through a really strange phase where I possibly could have............ BUT - My son was born when I was a 'respectable' 23 years of age, and 'long' married. !! Hope you are having a nice 3/4 birthday - my 'real one' is in about 2 weeks' time. Dea Xxx p.s. - I was just thinking today (as you do!!), that, when I am out with my grand-daughter, obviously people don't think I am her mother (as i as I am too old), BUT, her mother, although to me looks very young, is in fact 31, so (in today's terms, she could actually be the grandmother rather than the mother!!!) - Scarey isn't it??? Dea x

*****makes note of Dea's birthday***** Not a round number, is it??? %$*'&$£'($^^£'*$^£%%'** ....Ouch!!!! Merry

Merry, 13th July, 1951. Dea Xxx

If I'd been concentrating I would have known!! As you gave your dau's age and how old you were when she was born!! At least it's not a Friday this year! Merry

Merry, If that last message was for me - It was my son (I haven't got a daughter), and my birth date - 13th July, 1951 WAS a Friday !! Dea Xxx P.S. - BUT, You are still my friend aren't you ??? Dea Xxx

Whoops again..........31 + 24 does = 55 though!!! lol ***********sneaks away from thread before anyone notices********** ******opens bottle of red****** ******offers glass to Dea***** Merry

THANK-YOU MERRY!!!!!!!!!! That is the nicest 'red' I have ever tasted!!!!!! (and I DO know a lot about red wine!!) Dea Xxx

Glad you like it! *****offers top-up!***** Merry

Know what you mean about the Sarah's!! I NEVER had less than 4 Sarah's in my class (& I changed schools 3 times) I moved to France in 1991 so I don't hear people yelling 'SARAH!! - STOP DOING THAT!' at their kids & me jumping out of my skin in the town centre any more - thank g for that!! It seems to be one of those names that doesn't ever completely go out of fashion (like Maude & Gertrude did). Sarah :-)

*** top up gratefully accepted*** - However, not going down too well with the brandy!!!!!!!!! Dea Xxx

Can I have a top up please Merry? Margaret

Oops, sorry Margaret! Was just getting a bowl of strawberries and cream! Scrummy! I have a set of scales under my desk (not sure why.....just never put them away since I bought them a few months back).....just pushed them back a few more inches whilst I eat the s & c! Merry
