Secret Party Planning...

Gremlins at it again lol @Faith-and-Hope

I'm happy to go along with whatever @Zoe7 ☺ I have no idea what Fraggle Rock is, but it looks like Muppets and I'm sure I can work it out if needed (Muppets are awesome!). Original Trolls are pretty special. I remember having a couple of them including a pencil topper one that made it impossible to write but my pencil looked pretty 😆

@Faith-and-Hope Princess Poppy trolls is like all the sparkles glitter rainbows and pink in the world mashed together and put to music and played non-stop in our life (and a substantial amount of others I imagine) during the great Trolls explosion of late 2016/early 2017 😉

I've had this song stuck in my head since last night

I am here but not here CB (shhhh) @CheerBear

I am not thinking clearly at all this morning - the wnd has not stopped all night so have not had much sleep. Headache is back and very tired so just see how long I can last here 

This is the original theme song and intro for Fraggle Rock - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_zsz_MlVvI

It's nice to see you (and I'll stay quiet) @Zoe7 ☺

Sorry about the sleep, wind and headache 🙁 Makes things really tough.

I will watch that link now with my cuppa. Was it something you watched/were interested in when you were younger?

[Zoe7]

Yes @CheerBear I loved Fraggle Rock - was one of my favourites along with Kimba the white lion and Secret Squirrel - great memories of watching all at my grandparent's place where I felt safe 

[CheerBear]

It's sooooo cute @Zoe7. I love that song! According to a someone, I used to watch it but I would have been so little I don't remember. That's a definitely going to get stuck in my head song in a nice way.

My Grandma's house was a pretty special place for me when I was little also. She gave me the pencil trolls. She had those awesome tissues that were pink blue and yellow I think and I remember making beds for trolls with them. We lived in different states and I'd often spend school holidays there. Thanks for sharing the memories and reminding me of mine ❤

[Zoe7]

My Nan loved me so much that she even took a bite out of a mud cake I made when playing outside (yes REAL mud not delicious chocolate mudcake lol) when I was really young @CheerBear

I was in my first year of high school when Fraggle Rock started - so I spent most nights at my grandparents house - I pretty much lived there for 4 years 

[CheerBear]

Haha that's awesome @Zoe7. Go Nan! She sounds amazing.

I rescued a baby mouse from my Grandma's cat who was playing with it outside one day. I was shattered for this mouse (who was still very alive) and took it inside to try and save it. It jumped out of my hands and went straight under her lounge. Much later on she reminded me of that one and told me how much she was disgusted by the state of the mouse and how freaked out she was that it had probably gone off to make a home in her house. But she was great enough that my memory of it was totally different and all I remember is feeling thankful that baby mouse escaped evil cat and would now live happily ever after.

Special ❤

That sounds like it would have been a pretty important place to you for those 4 years.

It was always a pretty special place for me @CheerBear My high school was really close so I would ride or walk to school. When I was at primary school I began spending most weekends at my grandparents' place in the later years to avoid both the violence at home and any chance of further abuse outside of the home. When I was at home I completely shut myself away in my bedroom from when I got home until I left for school the next day (and weekends when I was at home). I would often ride the 7kms to my grandparents place in the morning and return the next night on weekends.

[CheerBear]

Really tough @Zoe7. It makes so much sense that your grandparents place was a place of safety and was somewhere special for you. So sorry you've been through what you have.

I'm looking forward to Tuesday (and have been singing Fraggle Rock all morning). We'll make it special 💗
