About

  • This blog was set up in 2006 as a resource for parents of multiple birth children.

    Then it moved on to include journalism, fiction, media requests and advice under the 'Write away' category as well as the odd bit of nonsense about my family and eating too much cake. Then it sort of stopped. But I still pop up here now and again when the fancy takes me.

    Thanks for reading.

Now I wish I could knit so I too could create such an amazing ensemble

Darling, Linda. I did predict that even when tagged by the very respectable Times newspaper, you will still slip that word into your post.

*shakes head in disapproving manner*

*smirk*

You never let me down!

Hi Heather - I know, it's a belter!
Rosie, I don't know what you mean but thanks anyway.

I was a Donny Osmond fan myself - always a bit of a sap. But a BIG Jackie fan, had to have Cathy and Clare's permission before I did anything bar shake hands with a boy!
Thanks for the tag - will let you know when it's done.
Ps: I've typed this twice now so you may get a double comment or I will give up!

Bless you wetting your knickers at school, I hope it didn't scar you for life!

Proud moment when I was a kid - and the one that set me on my path to um... a 'career' in journalism was the moment Jackie published my name... as the winner of a competition to win an autographed photo of Dave Wakeling (from The Beat). Maybe someone should do an online version???!

Anyway I digress (!)... I loved Shang a lang, although I was a bit little when it came out to appreciate the BCR properly (although I did of course know the chant - B. A. Y. B . A. Y. B. A. Y. C. I. T. Y with an R. O. Double L E. R. S. Bay City Rollers are the best.'

You're right about that scandal being prime movie material... was all connected with the awful DJ whose name I won't write on your lovely blog, wasn't it.

You know who I liked also from around that time? The Rubettes. I don't know why.

OMG I don't know what I like best, the outfit or the handbag! I think the handbag. Will you knit be one oh lovely LInda? Pleeeeease.

Have completed my task, Mistress Jones. New post over at mine, and no rude pics this time (pity...)

No, no no to Donny Osmond.
Jo I'm afraid I made you one but I ate it.
Liz, I think I liked the Rubettes too and after that Racey...."Some girls will, oo oo some girls won't, some girls need a lot of loving and some girls don't'
Eh?

That song is annoyingly catchy. Of course I am FAR too young to remember it.

I have no idea who these Bay City Rollers are of which you speak. I am far too young.

That is all.

Although I'd quite like to grapple with Gary Barlow's stopcock, but that's another story.

Gosh that is quite an ensemble. I trust you will be wearing it all next time we see you? xxx

I'm old enough to remember Roller Mania (even older than you, Linda!) and I'm as baffled now as I was then by their appeal - they all looked hideous and they had terrible dress sense.

But you're right, Katie - Shang a Lang is horribly catchy and I am now going to be singing it for the rest of the day. Week, probably.

I can't believe I've done it, but after reading this I've posted a photo of myself in my BCR outfit. Don't laugh too much will you?

OMG!!! I completely remember that picture in Jackie but can't remember whether it was from the magazine or the annual. I wanted to knit it anyway and got as far as casting on about 10 stitches.

NotSupermum - I am more than impressed! (And that's just the wallpaper)

Nickie - I saw the pic and thought Oh My God!

Kim - at least it's not Bye Bye Baby

DD - I can't, you never gave it me back.

Becky - are you having a laugh? I've heard you were there for Lonnie Donogan.
