Mme poivre

evening all just been soaking in the bath listening to [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REElUors1pQ] ABBA [/url]  have you ever tried dancing in the bath? [:D]  

we had a very successful visit from our french neighbours at easter this year.  We invited them to stay but they made all their own arrangements, they did ask which ferry we used etc, and best crossing times, i did pay alittle if i took them somewhere, for example the bus tickets to get into oxford, before they left they insisted on giving me some eruos towards everything, it was all very civalized. The best bit was we all had a really good time and i cant wait to get back to france soon.

il doit être quelque chose faire avec les lits par exemple ' ; lit bugs' ; ou ' ; fleur lit' ; mais je biseaute décide ce qui[I] le lit est jugé, puis il y a une petite course autour d'une place puis un cours avec l'eau et l'amusement [:D]

Samedi matin mon fils et moi voyagent à Lille pour se joindre dedans à une course de lit. [:D] Nous devons décider d'un thème et décorer le lit. Ce sera bon amusement et nous allons avec des amis. [:-))] Il sera bon de visiter un endroit defferent en France mais je manque le Vendee.[:(]

Thanks for the replys Just need to fix on a theme now and we are off  [:D]

OH and my self have been invited to go to Lille in a few weeks to participate in some sort of bed race,  is there anyone out there who can enlighten us as to what will be expected. we were told it is in Lille, that its a bit of fun and its very french Help what have we let ourselves in for?

I believe these People are just letting off steam they really want to go to le mans but know what they should/should not do with their hard earn cash and are rebelling against it in the only way they know how[:D]  

late srping bank hol or half term [:P]

sorry YCCMB Ishould have said qualifications are being knocked, not that everyone is knocking  them I think NH has been rubbing off on me sorry Or i could be that i am spening my holiday writing student reports [:(]

Good eveing all I know its different for each person, but you are all knocking getting quilifications, I am dong my GCSE this year because i need to learn More French, it has made me more disciplined in learning gramma and lots of new words, I am more confident in reading french and have goal posts to keep me going.  Going to the french coverstaion class has givien me the opportunity to use this new vocab in a safe ish supportive environment.  I still have to work on my writing and spelling in french but that is the next task.   The main thing however, is that I really want to learn to talk to people and be understood and I am really enjoying learning the language.  [:D]

sorry Norman keep your hat on, different things work for different people Our 'Conversation classes' were based around what we wanted/needed to learn, yes we did do grammar, in fact we covered anything that was needed, I could give you all the books that were recommend to us to help with our gammar as well. We had at least 40 mins of just talking in frech about everything and anything, reporting to each other different things, all of us even stood infront of everyone else a delivered a presentation in French, and no not all of as can speak very good french but thanks to these classes our confidence and vocabulary has developed.

This year we have been to classes at our local further education college that were for conversation french only no qualifications, and a Belgian/French teacher who was excellent, there was a mixture of people at different levels of learing, we all had great fun and are booking for the course next year, one thing that has changed is that we will have to take a small qualification, but if we do this we get the course for a lot less money. The other thing is that there are a number of people who work at the same place as me who speak french and we are thinking about getting together at the pub every so often for a french speaking get together.    

Bonjour tout le monde j'espere vous ok Frenchie je suis on vacance en Belgique avec mon marie et mon fils, mon maire travialle ici une semian dans deux, je suis dans une grande apartment en Anderlecht le apartment est sur the troisiemme etage et il avez une petit balcon.  Je preffere mon maison en le Vendee mais Brussells c'est ok pour une petit visit. je preffere le campagne pas le grand ville.   Sorry about the bad french but i am learning Judith  

Hello Guys Just saying hello been lurking a bit, I should be revising for my GCSE french exam next week I  am in competition with some of the kids at school to see if they can get a better grade than me, it seems to be good motivation for htem to try harder [:)] take care all Judith

just to up date  have just heard on the BBc news that there are 4 reported/cases being in vestigated in northampton and scotland so we are infor it as well!!  

hi all There are lots of films aready mentioned that i have already watched a number of times, lots of John wayne films as i have been a bit of a fan, strictly ballroom i love because it has a real feel good factor however, the new Mama Mia film even has my nine year old singing and we both love the film we watched for the 10th time last night Down Periscope[:D]   Judith

Well they came we walked, talked, eat and drank and everything was brill. We ended up doing lots of normal things - we went to Oxford up one of the towers, the natutal history museum, etc as well as shopping, we visited my parents and that was good, of course we did lots of eating, we had a big family get together at the local toby (i'm too lazy to spend my holidy cooking roast dinner for 20) which was fantastic, we went to warwick and the castle, we did the fish and chips thing which they loved, lots of looking a different scenery and just chilling.  It was a brilliant five days and they want to come again.[:)] The thing is that having to try to think of things that they would like to see/do it has made me appreciate where I live in England that much more, there is a great diversity of things to do and see and i think i will be exploring more in the future and not just taking what we have for granted. Thanks for all the ideas was really apprecieated Judith

Thankscruddler I will investigate these over the weekend, Judith

Thank you they made me chuckle Jx

have a good journey odile and i am very jealous you have reach for your star and taken it Good luck in all you do and talk as soonas you can   Judith

Thank you gain for taking the time to reply Clarkkent good ideas we did think of the ironbridge gourge as thats where OH hails from but its always hours of travelling.... Velcorin not too worried about evenings as have brill neighbours here who have visited with us in france so hopefully lots of catching up and socializing in the evening[:D]  If they want to go furhter a field they can always drive as they are coming in thier own car so i suppose i really need to ask them what they would like to do and wait until they arrive. Thanks again for all the responses Judith

good advice from all as usual thank you I am closer to warwick and stratford than I am to oxford so think i might go that way stratford at easter mght be interesting or  a gentle walk around our own national trust property at Farnborough Hall. My next question is how much can you fit in between meals[:D]? Judith

Thanks for all the replys I think that it will be ok but as always you will never know until they have gone home how it will go  [:D] Judith

Hello to all I will have the pleasure of my french neighbours visiting me for a week from Easter Monday, which i am really looking forward to, I am however, very anxcious things are soooooo different for us here than they are in france.  We are quite happy to put them up and have been rearranging rooms ect in anticiption.  We do get on really well when in france and both houses are open to all. What I am wondering is Has anyone out there had their nieghbours visit them in england and how did it go? I think i am a litttle worried that being in such close proximity for a week might not work! Thanks in advanced   Judith
