I love this site! (thanks to Mutley!)

[chocolate]

I have been looking round this site for some time, just plucking up the courage to say hello. I use a forum website for nails (as in fingernails, not the 6" metal type) and now i have joined this site, it is now my turn to be a nervous newbie. I am going to the WDYTYA Olympia show on Friday and hope to meet some of you there.

I am new to this family tree thing, and with 3 children and a full time job, i have little spare time. But i have even given up watching Eastenders as i can honestly say, i am addicted. I am tracing family in Essex and Ireland. I have realised that although we are working with the dead, it has brought the living closer and has given me and mum something to share togther.

So, thank you in advance for your advice and support, as like my mum (Mutley) i am sure i will be spending many hours on this site. |wave|

[Mutley]

Hello, my lovely daughter |hug|

About time too, is it a case of you can't beat us then you have to join us?

At least, I've got you away from Eastenders and you always know where your old mum is. :)

Have a look around and meet all my friends and most of all enjoy.:D

Hi chocolate! |wave| Hold onto your hat cos this is a great place. I do hope you like us - and you can keep an eye on Mutley while you're here, now she's a moderator there's no stopping her. LOL

[chocolate]

Thank you!

Even from Kent, i now know what my mums up to!!!! Now i also know why she always says just buy Dad a load more books to keep him quiet so she can come on this site!!!

[Sue Mackay]

Welcome! I see Mutley has brought you up well - to be a chocolate lover! Get yourself some chocs and take a good look round, then get posting.

[Geoffers]

But i have even given up watching Eastenders as i can honestly say, i am addicted. I am tracing family in Essex and Ireland. I have realised that although we are working with the dead

Mmmmmm.......Eastenders or Dead People?

Yes I'd have to agree that dead people are more interesting

Oh well, now that you've discovered the delights of family history, your children will have to get used to fending for themselves.

Welcome to The forums.

[ChristineR]

as like my mum (Mutley)

Mutley is woman :confused:

Geez, I always thought she was a he :o :D |blush|
Must have been that avatar. Oops.

Welcome Chocolate.

Hello Chocolate and welcome to your Mum's hiding place!

Please make yourself known to us on the Parish Chest stand at WDYTYA - you'll be guaranteed a warm welcome. |hug|

[Peter Goodey]

Gosh. I'm going to the show on Friday. I'll have to behave myself or you'll report me to Mutley:)

It's probably just as well that very few of us using the site have the faintest idea what others look like!

[AnnB]

Welcome to the forum Chocolate - glad to see you are following in your Mum's footsteps (or should that be paw prints ;)) If you have half as much fun as the rest of us, you'll be doing well.

Good hunting
Ann

|help|opps I also thought Mutley was a fella...:o|blush|

sorry

oh, hello Chocolate, it will feel odd calling a person Chocolate, I am more used to using that name for my Rottweiler bitch, the name she came with! unfortunately she will not respond to anything else.. we tried to rename her

Sue

[Neil Wilson]

Hello Chocolate and welcome to the forum.

Well, from now, the old Mutt will have to behave herself otherwise her daughter will be telling her off!!

Mind you, would the name Mutley II be more fitting |idea|

[Sue Mackay]

|help|oops I also thought Mutley was a fella...:o|blush|


Just as well Mutley became a Moderator too late to be included in the Mods Photo Competition - some of you would have been even more :confused:

Me, I'm WYSIWYG with both name and avatar - it's just my postings that confuse people!

[Mutley]

My secret is out..... Trust your kids :)

You made it!! - Well done Sue - do you feel a 1,000 now???

The knees certainly do :D

PS And this probably dates me. How many people remember that 1001 cleans a big, big carpet for less than half a crown?

Hope he's not allowed to eat chocolate :eek:

[chocolate]

This has made me giggle!

Sorry mum, you are not a fella and you are definatly not a big fat hairy dog!

Whoops, im in trouble already and its only my first post........:o:o

I hope to see some of you Friday!

[busyglen]

Hi Chocolate, Welcome! ...Mmmm...making my mouth water at the thought!

Hope you have a lovely time at the show, wish I could get there, but other pressing engagements.

Look forward to seeing your queries....now I wonder if your mum will start jumping in with the answers, before we get chance? :D

Wonder why some of the others thought your mum was a fella? For some reason, I've always thought she was a female? I think it stems from the early days, before the Mutley tag.

Enjoy the Forum experience.

With Chocolate joining the forum, is this the first time that we have had a mother and daughter as members?

Also Chocolate, first tip for researching your family history, interrogate your mother for all the things that she hasn't told you about your family and that she would like to forget. Then post them on here :D

No, I think Sunpat and Janiegirl are mother and daughter

Congrats from me too - I only recently noticed my 1000 had come and gone. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun ;).

And Glen, you wear your 2000+ well - don't look a day over 12 :D

Best wishes

Hope he's not allowed to eat chocolate :eek:


Sorry but given Chocolate hates all other dogs.. apart from Rotts Chocolate would eat Mutley... Lol|5cups|

[chocolate]

Thank you so much for a very warm welcome, mum was right, you are a lovely lot.

Now its time to get posting..........................

[Mutley]

Sorry but given Chocolate hates all other dogs.. apart from Rotts Chocolate would eat Mutley... Lol|5cups|

Nah Nah, Mutley has grown up with Rotts, Bailey (as in creamy drink)
and Dona (as in head of household!!) are his two best Rottie mates.

Though not particularly politically correct these days, I have to say, I have not come across more gentle animals.

Maybe it's the way you bring them up....

And Sue Hope he's not allowed to eat chocolate :eek:

Oh no - Human edible chocolate is poisonous to doggies

[chocolate]

It is the way you bring them up, you didnt do to bad with me either!

I will see you at the airport with your Mutley costume.........!!

[Pam Downes]

You made it!! - Well done Sue - do you feel a 1,000 now???
Belated - as usual - congrats from me Sue. I missed the big moment because I was out most of the day, though I'd been watching your activity very carefully Wednesday evening. :)

(Chocolate, apologies for hijacking your thread. Though as I'm quoting Geoffers, I have to agree with him that dead people are far more interesting then 'Eastenders'. :D I stopped watching Eastenders, Neighbours, and Home and Away - never watched the other soaps - almost eight years ago when we went on holiday for a fortnight instead of our usual week, and I truly haven't missed them.)

Oh Sue, youve started my mind off now with the jingle for that advert going through it time and time again, so to get my own back, how about the parafin advert ..... blue, blue, blue , blue, ESSO blue da da da da

what other timeless jingles stay in our mind at this age, when so much else has been forgotten ?

Brian


AND its a big welcome to our new member, bet she's "sweet", isnt she Mutley. Does this introduce yourself posting break any records for the number of replies ?
