IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, try try try again and again (and again...)

I tried to join Brownies but I was such a slow eater that it used to be finished by the time I'd eaten my dinner, sob! I did manage to become a Guide (which was at a later time), but then I broke my wrist on my first night there, whilst we were playing leapfrog.

I just wasn't meant to wear a uniform, I reckon.

Mouse - When you're on Conso, let me know. I'll give you a (for eating) brownie recipe that will blow your mind.

Hello gorgeous Vicky - LOVING your hair

the things you find when sorting through stuff eh??

No pics of fat brownie i dont think but mouse i was sooo fat that i couldnt fit in the uniform at all. I had to wear a school skirt (yes brown school uniform) over the top.

I was elf as well (i think or was it pixie) , a seconder and then a sixer too. I has soo many badges they were all down my sleeves lets not mention how i did on the horse riding one

No pics of me as a fat brownie either That blasted yellow tie didn't do me any favour either!! I remember doing my homekeeper's badge and being dispatched off to this manky woman's house to make her ruddy beds for her Oh how times have changed!

I would like to learn to ride now but think I need to lose a bit more first so as not to disfigure the horse

end of row with a cardigan on, Jaq???

I wasn't a Guide either... in fact, I was quite a rebel back then. Horses (and boys) ruled.

 

[jaqys]

Jo I stayed a guide due to all the shared activities and parties with the scouts, my organised activities all had boys at the root.
Yes with cardigan, my shoulders show why I cant get bra straps to stay up too.

Wow cool pic Jaqys. I don't think cameras were around when I was a brownie - looks like you were wearing the funkier uniform too rather than the brown dress with the yellow tie and the too tight belt around the middle!

 

[jaqys]

Its from pack holiday, we had the dreaded brown dress, yellow tie, awful bobble hat combo for normal meetings.

 

[m-mouse]

Oh boy I hated that dress/tie/belt combo! We wore brown berets rather than bobble hats

 

[LVLLM]

mine was the dress no tie though. but the belt with the pouch on.
Jaq brill piccie x
Kim you wouldnt disfigure a horse! get yourself a lesson booked

 

[scrumper]

lol i was a gnome and i was a sixer .....till i got thrown out for nicking the other brownies stuff to make up my lots pouchs !!! we had them horrid brown dresses still it was the 70s lol

 

[Maintainer]

In the '70s Scrumps? You're my age, are you? I forget duh!

Jaq - little Brownie you looks ever so familiar to me...

 

[scrumper]

lol yes i was a 70s latchkey kid

 

[Maintainer]

oh me too. I had my own key and, when I forgot it, I sat on the doorstep until a neighbour took pity on me and took me home (to my Mum's horror and shame one day!)

by the way, are you sure working in a school canteen is a good thing? no fingers in that pink custard!

 

[Emmma]

I was a brownie and a guide, though i can't for the life of me remember my uniform. I do remember going to some lady's house to cook fish fingers chips and peas for my cook's badge though.

 

[scrumper]
