Hello from Andy and Dave's big sister

Post: # 29595Post Bigsis »

May I bask in your reflected glory?!
Seriously proud of all you've achieved here.
For those that don't know me, (everyone else!) I grew up in Northampton with the twins, moved away to Washington DC for a bit then moved back and started a family (Sam - 8 mths). I am nothing like the lads in that I have completely un-green fingers - more kind of orangey really.

Hiya Bigsis - it's nice to meet the family! :flower:

They've been keeping you awfully quiet... If you stay around for a while, we'll try and turn your fingers green!

They kept quiet about you, Bigsis! I hope you'll hang around and keep them in order!

Hiya, thanks for the welcomes! :cheers:
I'll try and drop in now and again to keep a sisterly eye on the boys and help with spelling etc! Hope my gardening skills do improve, they can't get much worse, I actually killed a cactus once...

Cycling isn't really my thing right now - the baby car seat won't fit on!

Wonder what Andy n Dave are up to now, if it's anything like when we were kids, they're hatching a new scheme as we speak :wink:

Shirlz2005 thought you might be cycling down to the thing, and when you said that the car seat wouldn't fit on the bike, I assumed ..... :oops:

I've got a bike. It is currently hanging on the garage wall. .

My fault PD. Didn't mean to make to make you :oops:
You caught me pretending to have a bike so I could mention the baby. Any excuse to talk about him I'll jump at it!
