Thanks Andrea-everyone was boarding up their windows and making plans...some are staying some are coming North. We will get a good jostle even as far inland as it is if the projected path continues. msgirl :unsure:

Tonight I've got to go and take some publicity shots for a show - should be fun!

Any more news msgirl?

Tonight I've got to go and take some publicity shots for a show - should be fun!

Will we get to see any?

Tonight I will be serving up tea soon, then bathing the stinky meister, then watching America's next Top Model final....then asleep.

Will we get to see any?


They'll probably be boring ones of people - but I'll maybe take a couple of the church hall where they rehearse and post them!

OK - a couple of photos posted!

I'm about 300 miles due Northeast of New Orleans and the feeder bands of the storm are about 450 miles in a counter-clockwise motion...so yeah we will get some action and then some!!! :shocking:

Nothing tonight, just staying in and watching TV. I dont need to do myself any dinner as i had a massive lunch today. So i will go home, clean out the animals, take the dog for a walk to the sea, have a shower and then veg for the rest of the evening.

My evening begins at 9pm when I'll be....

Watching 'Without a Trace' on E4

Taping the third part of 'Messiah' as I haven't had time to watch the first two bits yet.

Trying to tape 'The Bill'!

Coastie, is that the American 'Without A Trace' or do y'all have a U.K. version???

American version with the sexy Anthony LaPaglia....hooo mama! :wub:

Well good...I thought y'all were languishing w/o Anthony and entourage... :angel_not

Well good...I thought y'all were languishing w/o Anthony and entourage... :angel_not

The only problem is it takes so darn long for the series to be released over here....we have recently started series 3 and I understand you guys are enjoying series 4 already.... :ranting: Oh and I can't by series 2 on DVD yet! :ranting: :ranting:

ERO ME ON BBCAMERICA!!!! I love 'Little Britian', 'Coupling', 'Rebus', 'Waking the Dead', 'Wire in the Blood', etc...and we are sometimes 2-3 seasons behind. There was this one show I got SO wrapped up in and don't even know how it ended b/c they didn't bring it back for the endind...something 'Blues' about girl footballers. We have been having 'Footballer's Wives' which they compare to our 'Desparate Housewifes'. I so love my BBCAmerica!!! msgirl :)

while coastie is lounging in front of the tv I will be swimming to work off all those chocolate biscuits!!

As you should....a minute on the lips a life time on the hips and all that jazz!

Me I shall go home and try a bongela southern comfort mix to ensure results regarding my ulcers! :wacko:

MissG...I vaguely remember the show your on about regarding the female footballers...din't watch it myself so can't remember the name for the life of me!

Wire in the Blood is superb and have you seen the UK Cracker with Robbie Coultrane...sorry but soooo much better than the US version...Waking the Dead series one was great...second series they lost the plot a bit but series three got them back on course! :thumbsup:

OOOOHHHH! I love Robbie Coltraine 'Cracker'!!!! The guy that did our 'Cracker' version ended up o.d.ing....they say he was about to be indicted for killing his girlfriend. I was really upset when Mel got killed on 'W.T.D' I hope they get it back on over here so I can catch up!! And Robson Green....wheww let me catch my breath....ooolala. :)

Ahhh Robson.......Flip has flashed her bum at Robson Green you know, maybe she'll tell you about it sometime...just ask her what happened on the crag whilst walking her dogs at the same time they were filing 'Wire in the Blood' nearby! :naughty: He was also very, very sexy in a series called 'Soldier, Soldier' his big break (after he played a porter in Casualty)...Just picture Robson Green several years younger in Combats...ooo lalaaaaaa :wub:

Yes...it was a bit of shock Mel going like that! I'd heard someone was going to die but when it turned out to be her...eeek! :shock:

They showed Robson in some show where he may have been cheating on his partner/wife???? It was good...although I didn't follow too closely. He is hunka-hunka yummy. FLIP-TELL ME YOUR ROBSON STORY!!!!!! :pimp:

Oh yes he was good in that but I can't remember what it was called....it was before Wire in the Blood and more of a mini series (one off) than something that was going to run on for a bit.......

Oh yes he was good in that but I can't remember what it was called....it was before Wire in the Blood and more of a mini series (one off) than something that was going to run on for a bit.......
I can't remember the name but I can see him in it.....arrrgh!

Was it "Reckless" starring Robson Green, Francesca Anis and Michael Kitchen?

I love Robson but for a more mature man I think Michael Kitchen is brilliant and quite fanciable. He always plays a similar part, with a droll sense of humour.

Tonight, I have been sitting online, listening to music and watching Mr H paint one side of the bedroom and bathroom doors. Has been therapeutic.

I was supposed to be keeping him company while he worked, but he's got the music on SO LOUD that it renders conversation impossible.

So I've posting instead..

I agree Crit, I have a thing about Michael Kitchen, a very sexy man :wub:

I agree Crit, I have a thing about Michael Kitchen, a very sexy man :wub:

Mmmm..... :wub: Can't remember when he first came to my notice but it was some time ago - think I might just go and search on the net for some info about him :)

Bravo Crit-it WAS 'Reckless'!! I didn't get to watch as much as I wanted but I did watch some...oooohlala Robson.

OOOOHHHH Coastie, just got thru checking my e-mail and we are getting series 2 of 'The Messiah' starting next Monday. What series are y'all on? Also I heard Ken Stott was replacing John Hannah as 'Rebus'???? I love John Hannah too!!!!! :angel_not

Mr.B is playing Quoites again this evening, so ill be home alone as i cant be ars*d to go and watch. I will probably go to the pub for a swift half, and then go home for some serious dog lovin'.

Tonight I will be spending my last evening for a while with miss ils :wub:

Well, instead of the swift half i had about 10 gins, and Mr.B had to drive me home !!!!! Totally forgot about the dog too (what a bad mother i am :unsure: ).

So tonight i will be going home, walking the woofer and then settling in for a night infront of the TV.

Not a lot tonight really.

I will have to drink that wine in the fridge, got to get rid of it for my healthy start next week.
See if there is anything decent on the TV, probably not.
Hubby might be going fishing tonight so if thats the case, I'll be surfing around after I've put the kids to bed.

I'm staying in tonight, I have pulled a muscle in my back, so no gallivanting for me.

Miss ils has gone back to Cardiff, so it will just be me and the boys.

is like a cattle drive only with beetles

I had no idea these things were so competitive!! I was lucky to leave with all my fingers! :shocking:

Tonight I'll be putting music my new MP3 player

Watching X Factor :thumbsup:

I just got so hideously excited when I realised it was on tonight. I was driving back from an appointment and my heart raced. Yes it did.

I just got so hideously excited when I realised it was on tonight. I was driving back from an appointment and my heart raced. Yes it did.

You need to get out more :ohmy:

Tonight im off to the pub. The chef has promised to make me a steak and ale pie as i really fancied one and it wasnt on the menu.

So i will indulge in some friendly banter, good food and maybe 2 or 3 drinkie poos.

I am staying in, cooking food, watching tv which, after being away for a couple of days prior to being at a festival prior to being away travelling, is exactly what I need to do. Im exhausted and need a chill out experience.

Hopefully im off to the pub tonight. Ive had a hellish 3 days in the office, and i need a bit of fun and frivolity this evening .... and maybe a G&T or two :thumbsup:

Staying in watching the footie and Lost :thumbsup:

Gotta go to Asda - then to a friend's flat to measure her kitchen - possibly Lost on E4 - but I'm more likely to tape it!

Tonight Mr.B is playing Quoites again (i keep forgetting how to spell that, and i still dont know if thats right, but cant be arsed to look on Google) - so i will be propping up the pub bar alone ..... although a lovely teacher called Alan offered to babysit me tonight :w00t:

I'm off out tonight as well, meal at a pub.

I'm driving so won't be drinking, but that's fine, at least I'm out of the house for a few hours.

Then Saturday I'm out again.
Going to the yearly hog roast arranged by the ladies circle I'm in, and it involves the male equivalent, the round table.
I'm not driving that night, wooooo:drinking:

Tonight I have escaped going to the ballet - OK the tickets were free and there is a champagne reception - but ballet!!!!!!

And the tickets were for the Gods!

So I'm just having a nice quiet night in!

Lol Rob :thumbsup: I dont think i would want to go either.


Tonight im doing nothing. I will go home, walk the dog, have a shower - and then veg out in front of the TV. Bliss.

Nothing tonight. I have to make the spare room bed, and wash the towel, and clean out the animals .... but other than that, nowt.

Tonight I have escaped going to the ballet - OK the tickets were free and there is a champagne reception - but ballet!!!!!!

Oh, you never know Rob, you just might have enjoyed it! :ninja: I remember when we went to New York my friend got us tickets for Romeo & Juliet - The Opera...........in Italian!! We both loved it!! :w00t:

I think the fact that the tickets were in the Gods would have put me off, but I would have been swayed by the Champagne reception!

Nothing planned for tonight just have dinner and slob I think!

My son's just got 9 more days of his driving ban to do and I have to say that I've been impressed with the fact that he hasn't once asked me to pick up the kids or run him anywhere. You may remember that when he was banned I said that it would be me that suffered the most as I thought I would become a taxi service.

So as he mentioned today that he had to get his little girls back to their mum's at 6.45 after a trip to McD and the park, but needed to be somewhere by 7 pm I offered to go and pick him up. :angel:

It won't take long and I'll be back for Eastenders and slob out like usual.

I think the fact that the tickets were in the Gods would have put me off, but I would have been swayed by the Champagne reception!


I almost was swayed by it - but I'm glad I didn't go - it turned out to be half a glass of champagne!!

I will now show you my artistic side.

Tonight I have been glueing, sticking and painting making this...(well hubby helped a little bit)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/andreab33/windmill.jpg

Can you tell what it is yet?!?!:w00t:

I've been making a windmill as on Friday we are making a man into a crazy golf hole and he has to have this inbetween his legs and we are going to try our hardest to miss getting it in the windmill hole:w00t:

That's all I'm going to say, apart from this is to do with the ladies circle/round table.:ninja:

:sad: You mean it's not for your front garden?

:sad: You mean it's not for your front garden?

It may go there afterwards:w00t:

Cool windmill!

Tonight I have been doing nothing and will be taping Lost on E4

At the moment I'm sitting here with a dram!

I'm sitting here repeating over and over "I will not watch Private Benjamin again" but I still haven't turned it off, or over - I will just watch the bit where her hubby keels over and then I will just watch the bit where she gets catapaulted into the "wrong army" and .... oh I might as well give in and watch it. I can say the words along with them :)

I'm impressed Andrea :thumbsup: Are you sure you wern't Blue Peter Presenter in another life?

Tonight all I had done, is cook the tea, take my son's girlfriend home and watched a bit of TV!

Tonight I am letting my husband take me out to dinner as it is out 15th Wedding Anniversary today :thumbsup:

Tonight I am letting my husband take me out to dinner as it is out 15th Wedding Anniversary today :thumbsup:

It is supposed to be quite a hard one, so can I have all your mobile numbers so if I get stuck I get text one of you.......a bit like "phoning a friend" only I can text one! :laugh:

Have a lovely evening. :thumbsup:

Congratulations Buzz (and Mr Buzz of course) I hope you have a lovely evening :thumbsup:

Congrats Buzz! :thumbsup:

I'm torn between dropping off some accounts (which I have to do) and then going straight to the pub to meet with some chums or going home and getting changed first by which time it will be around 2030 and I don't know if I can be fished to go back out again to a pub that I wont arrive at until around 2100 or if I should just go home, get into my PJ's and snuggle in front of the TV with hot home made soup and a glass of wine.....hmmmm have you guessed which way I'm leaning :naughty:

Thank you all...

Ooooh Buzzby - 15 years. Its a life sentence!

Well done, and congratulations.

Tonight I am going to catch up on Lost - probably with a bottle of wine as the school is on holiday on Friday and Monday:thumbsup:

Actually Robski I may be doing just the same - taped it last night.

I'm going to Langan's Brasserie in the West End.

Haven't been for years, but it used to be a fun place for dinner.

Another life, long long ago.....

Tonight we have another band playing down the road with a savagely good blues guitar player so will be groupie ing again.........:wub:

Off on holiday? Again? :sad:

Have fun Maz. :bye:

This one is to make up for the one I missed last year at about the same time.
I went into hospital the day before I was supposed to go to Turkey for a week as I reacted very badly to penicillin. Its not going to be quite the same as the weather is not looking to good. This time it is just me and Mr M so we can please ourselves what we do.

Setting off about 8pm our crossing is at one in the morning but if you are there early they let you on if there is space. We are travelling through the early hours so I hope he can stay awake if not we will pull over as there are plenty of rest areas. Thanks for your good wishes.

Im praying for rain so i dont have to take the dog for a walk .... i know, im a bad mother :unsure: I have had the busiest day i think i have ever had in my life, and the thought of taking him out for a walk fills me with dread.

Tonight i will be watching rubbish on TV, and drinking wine, and generally dossing. I feel a doss coming on.

Ohh ooo, Urk has popped into the office and is taking me and the boss down to el boozero for an early teatime pint. Hope I don't get a rush of blood to the head and try to stay on all evening until the band comes on....hic :beer:

Say hi to Urk from me, TE!! Enjoy the band tonight!

I'm off out on the lash tonight with some low brow friends and we will no doubt be having low brow conversation!


One of them is talking in terms of her husband allowing her to come out and letting her have some money to enjoy buy herself a few drinks!

whatever I'm sure we will enjoy ourselves and I shall probably be on here later, p!ssed out of my head and making no sense whatsoever ... no change there then!

Just remember the local Police station is not a local club that you must frequent at the end of the evening!

The Lady Hamilton it is then Dol....








Oh no sorry, I forgot...your'e not allowed in there are you. They only let you look through the window at all the nice people drinking their beer don't they? :wink2:

Yeah anniversary time for lots of people.
Congratulations to you all.
We had our 25th in march - but my parents have just had their 61st last weekend so that keeps the september theme going.
(Although they have been together for 73 years!!)

Bye Maz and Bon Voyage.

So, we get to Langans, wife all quiet and not looking too happy.

We order all our food and two botles of wine.

Wife announces that she has just been sick in the loos, has the bug the kids brought home from school and needs to go home NOW!

So, here's the doggy bag they sent us home with, as we hadn't even started eating!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v36/seanob/DSC00098.jpg

It's roast duck, btw. :sad:

I'm just about to go and eat it.....alone. :cry:

1, 2, 3.......AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! :hug:

Hope Mrs Groucho recovers!

Tonight I am not exactly sober

why didn't you just put her in a taxi and wave good bye to her Groucho? you're too soft by half (said the actress to the bishop!!!)

:ohmy: Asparagus!

Dol, how was your evening with the girls?

Tonight - I will be much more sober - I'm visiting my parents in Inverness

I'm so sorry Rob. Do you need to talk about it?




:book:

I'm so sorry Rob. Do you need to talk about it?




:book:

Nah - I'll cope:D

I dont know whats happening tonight. We are trying to cut back on the pub visits as we have a lot of expenses coming up. We normally have dinner out on a Saturday, but im cooking this evening, so we might pop in for a couple of shandy's and then leave again. Who knows.

Tea, X Factor and and early night for me, last nights frollicks in the chat room near exhausted me.

Tea is going to be a simple pizza, corn on the cob, garlic bread and salad.

Mr. M is having a potluck at work tomorrow and I'm making him Red Beans and Rice w/ sausage. Just reading and t.v. for the MS household. I'm making us chicken and dressing, a good southern favorite, with all the trimmings. It's one of Mr. M's favorites. I've got chicken to boil and pick and where am I???? Here with all you loverly people!!

Nothing tonight. Mr.B. is playing cards down the pub, so i shall run him there around 7:15pm ish and then come home and snog the dog / cats / tortoise (not necessarily in that order). I will also be watching Intolerable Cruelty on Sky as ive never seen it, and it looks like it will make me laugh.

Then i will collect Mr.B at 10:30, have a brandy and go to bed :wink_kiss

Packing up, supposed to start the moving process tomorrow evening to continue Friday and Saturday. Giving loads away. Cleaning. Yuk.

Reading my book, with intermitant bouts of washing and drying clothes (and folding, hanging,etc. of said clothes), recovering from mowing 7 acres of yard for hubby on the riding lawnmower. I think I've dislodged something inside!!?? His back is acting up and I got 'volunteered' and I really wanted to be helpful and all but man it was rough riding as we have a hilly yard and the back yard used to have a veggie garden in it and despite getting a tractor to level it out, it's still "row-y"!! :sad:

Im off to the pub tonight as its Mr.B's darts evening.

We have severely cut our pub visits down from about 5 times a week :huh: to once a week (although Mr.B goes twice).

To be honest though, im not really looking forward to it as i have really enjoyed the last few evenings in the house watching TV, drinking wine and sitting by the fire. BUT i need to be the driver this evening so Mr.B can have a drinkie or two. A friend of mine might also be there, so i cant let her down.

Just back from parents' evening at school - going to relax and have a glass of wine!

Last night i took the dog for a huge walk which completely knackered me out. I came home, cleaned out the animals, tidied up and started on the dinner.

Today though Mr.B is home, so im hoping he will do the dog walk today. So im thinking tonight will be a bath and veg in front of the TV night. Bliss.

I shall be vegetating in front of the TV tonight....I'm on overtime today so I haven't had my recovery sleep from nights (I'd normally sleep through til 10am today but had to be up at 630! Eeeek)....

Second performance - one more tomorrow - then it's all done - yipee!!!

was a tad bold last night with recouperating sister [and byjaysus is she recouperating - 4 bottles of wine we got through :wacko:] and feeling a little delicate today, so it's comfort nosh [tagliatelli carbonara and garlic bread] maybe just a tiny glass of wine, boots off, feet up and the Thursday Night Fest of crime shows - CSI, Without a Trace and Law and Order on da telly.....


Life is good. Oh yes.

Good news about your sister, TE.....she is improving 4 bottles of wine, was that just between the two of you! I had 2 glasses the other night and felt quite delicate the next day! Take it easy! x

LOL Bella - bejaysus I'm good but I'm not that good :wacko:


Last night there was sis, bro-in-law, me and Urk.

Thank you for thinking that of me tho!!! NOT!!! :laugh:

Phew...that's not so bad then! A bottle a piece, I can handle that! :laugh:

Tonight Mr B is home, been away since Monday.........can't think what I'll be doing tonight! ;)

Putting shelves up?!!:blink:

Cleaning .... in preparation for my parents coming to stay tomorrow :huh:

Tonight my youngest has his friend over for tea, so I shall be mostly gritting my teeth til he goes home and then drinking myself into a stupor to forget he was ever here!

Not even close Dol. I don't mind who my kids have round - as long as I like them :devil: This kid is fine, the only problem is he only comes with one volume......effin loud!!

Tonight I will be journeying down to Dover to catch a ferry to France

Off to Honfleur for a week http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/froehlich/c045.gif

Have a great time Rob :thumbsup:

See you when you get back :D

Tonight I will be eating Chicken Stew and watching the X Factor. Yum!:)

Tonight I will be eating Chicken Stew and watching the X Factor. Yum!:)

I'll be round in a minute! :laugh:

Doh...forgot I have to work til 8! :cry:

Have a lovely holiday Rob we passed by Honfleur on our way back last week. I have visited it once its a lovely old town but unfortunately it was so far out of season a lot of it was shut. Bonne vacance.

I am having a very lazy afternoon, I spent a busy busy morning running the school autumn fair in my capacity as Chairman - and have come home knackered.

I am in my jarmies already, and have already opened a bottle of white.

I made a flat ham pie for tea.

So tonight we will eat flat ham pie*, tomatoes and watch teh X factor in front of the fire.

* see shared recipes

Good on you flipster.

I have had a very uninspiring day - spent the morning sorting out my clothes - tipped the contents of my wardrobe out and threw a load of stuff away - then did about 3 hours of college study - costings, variable and fixed etc. Now I have a head ache.

So tonight I am watching the XFactor and having a beer - first just opened. I shall probably be in bed about 9pm.

I'm back home, reluctantly, cos I had an absolutely brilliant time with the friend that I'd never met before, in Devon.

Talk about hit it off - it was like we'd known each other for ever. The weather wasn't too good, very misty and damp but it didn't matter. The conversation flowed (in fact she joked that her hubby had taken a shine to me cos she'd never known him to sit and chat to anyone like he did with me) and it was so relaxed and laid back. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

I fell in love too (naaah not with her husband but her beautiful border collie called Bobby). It was love at first sight for both of us :laugh:

So here I am, back in the old routine, watching X-factor, looking after g/son while his dad goes out and catching up with messages.

Glad you had a great time Crit!

But the question is - did you steal her shampoo and coffee?

Glad you had a great time Crit!

But the question is - did you steal her shampoo and coffee?

Yes..and what about her clothes. Did you dive in there and start rooting first thing.Oh this would look nice on me etc. pulling hangers of the rail and holding them against yoursefl...this...that...or...how about this.

...and will she now join SO??

If she does, well Crit, I won't breathe a word about the pm you sent me.:shutup:

They had what in the bathroom cabinet !!??? :blink:

She borrowed a red dressing gown and I have the pic to prove it , she will have to bribe me not to show it.

Take her money and then show us anyway :w00t:

Glad you had a great time Crit :D

washing clothes, reading, catching up here b/c I've been out of pocket and behind on posts...that's it in the Hospitality State of Mississippi.

may get 'voddylicious' with some fresh pineapple and Absolut later....hmmmm.

...liking the sound of the second part of your post msgirl.

I may just go and try that this very minute!!

Are you of the ABSOLUT persuasion Fee???? After I had Absolut for the first time I couldn't be bothered with anything else. The pineapple is a new addition after getting tired of diet 7-up. It's the cats pyjammies!! :naughty:

I'm of the 'what proof is it' persuasion :laugh:

Pineapple works a treat, doesn't it just. I like it with Cranberry as well.

But Gin is my favourite.

I just found out about pineapple which surprises me as it is one of my all time fave juices. My best friend and I get a little wobbly on pineapple and ammarretto(sp?) which I think got me into the pineapple and voddy. I also like the cranberry w/voddy. I figure I'm helping my urinary tract by consuming the cranberry juice. HEEHEEHEE. I like gin, but have not drank as much of it to form an opinion of what is my fave brand or drink. I must set aside a weekend for such a test!! :laugh:

My favourite juice is Pineapple Msgirl and I love it with vodka, I think that is what I will be drinking in Dublin!

I had a cranberry and orange juice drink in the pub a few weeks ago and that was lovely!

Nothing interesting unfortunately.

I have a MONSTER pile of ironing waiting for my attention this evening, and a few gin and tonics wouldn't go amiss.

Unfortunately there is nothing on the TV this evening, so ill have to dig a film out and watch that.

Youngest's parents evening. Always a treat. :wallbash:

Youngest's parents evening. Always a treat. :wallbash:

We have ours on Thursday! It's not going to be pleasant as I have a couple of issues with the teacher and one particular child in the class!

I am sure you will come away as proud as punch!

Tonight I am going to watch Vincent!

going down the local tonight to watch our vital world cup game against Switzerland.....


don't hold out much hope for us qualifying for 2006 :cry:

Tonight i will be sat here playing with my laptop in front of the TV drinking wine - whilst Mr.B watches the football.

Bliss :blush:

Tonight I am going to the Brighton Center with one of my best friends to see Donny Osmond in concert :wub:

Im saying nothing .... i think i said it all last night :shutup:

Tonight is another lazy one for me. Mr.B is at home, so he would of done all the chores that needed doing. So i will go home, have a bath and then watch that Alien show this evening on Channel 4, and record Spooks.

Tonight I am going to the Brighton Center with one of my best friends to see Donny Osmond in concert :wub:

Just off to Kaitie's parent evening and then Mr B is coming home tonight, albeit feeling a tad under the weather due to a night out on the town last night! :huh:

I am going to see him on Saturday in Manchester :D

Ahhh, Grouch. Have you got to go out drinking? You poor thing.

Babysham? :unsure:

Stick a brandy in it and I might even join you. I'm classy, me.

A bit stronger than your usual dubonnet, though, isn't it Grouch?

Actually, i know your all going to laugh, but i started a jigsaw puzzle last night. I used to do them as i was growing up, and i got to be the master of jigsaws. It didnt matter how hard they were, i would be able to do it quickly.

But then i stopped, and have never done one since.

But last night i was cleaning out a cupboard and i spotted a brand new one, still in its wrapping that was a picture of a load of comical cats on a roof.

So i started it, and it was quite theraputic. I spent a happy hour playing, and im quite looking forward to having another go at it this evening.

Tonight I shall be well and truly celebrating......


After more years than I care to remember of studying, Mr B got his final exam result this morning and he PASSED.......so I have purchased champagne and we shall be getting very very drunk!!!!

Oooh, Well Done to Mr B! My Mr B sits his final exams on Monday, let's hope he gets the same result! What exams has he just passed, Buzz?

I am off out on a mum's night out to celebrate the end of term!

My neices and nephews would all groan if they got one as a present from me for chrimbo as they wouldn't get near them..... :devil:

oh, and congrats to clever Mr Buzz.


Only ONE Bottle of champagne? tut tut :laugh:

Blummin great news, Mr B! In what is he now qualified?

Does this make him all-of-a-sudden more sexy? I think so and I haven't even met him!

Well done Mr B

Good news Buzz, well done to Mr Buzz :thumbsup:
Blummin great news, Mr B! In what is he now qualified?
You put your posh voice on there Pats ;) I know it's grammatically correct (never finish a sentence with a preposition) but it doesn't roll off the tongue like "what's he now qualified in" does it? :laugh:

That was my telephone voice, Crit, thanks for noticing.

Actually, i know your all going to laugh, but i started a jigsaw puzzle last night. I used to do them as i was growing up, and i got to be the master of jigsaws. It didnt matter how hard they were, i would be able to do it quickly.

I Love a good jig saw.

Anything that makes you concentrate that hard and lose hours is a good thing...

Congratulations to Mr B :thumbsup: :wine:

well have just finished swabbing down the kitchen floor .... who'd have thought my Friday nights would be reduced to this kind of activity!

I am going to rest...take a long, hot shower, get into comfy pyjammas, read, maybe do some voddy and pineapple (my new fave voddylicious drink of late). My youngest son has gone for a sleepover till mid-day tomorrow and my 16 yr. old is at his highschool football game (American football) so he'll been in late. I have subbed all day in the infant nursery at one of my preschools I sub for and it's been a 10 hr. day. I 've worked so much the past 5 weeks I feel like a full time employee, lol!!! :sad:

Tonight we are down the local pub. They have live music this evening, and its nice to have a boogie (I always end up jiving with the locals ..... although i dont know how to jive) :huh:

It should be a good evening, be i think we will have to restict our drink intake !!!

I was out until 4 this morning, playing pool and chatting, and I have been wrecked all day so sat pm x factor, afterlife and maybe some prime suspect. Friend loaned me a box set of 9 dvds- they are gripping once again.Planning a detox from tomorrow - my body needs the rest!

Trying to catch up w/ you lot since most of you are sleeping or out or not online anyway. Been so busy the past few weeks and I've hit and run on here. Maybe read. Got to do all the stuff I didn't do today for tomorrow since I had a lay-in to recover from non-stop preschool the past 5 weeks. Gotta work Monday too. I think my part-time job is becoming permanent!! :w00t: :shocking:

Nothing really. Im trying to persuade Mr.B to stay home, as its his cards night down the pub .... but it doesnt appear to be working. I dont really fancy being alone tonight, but at the same time i dont fancy sitting in the pub alone as the others are playing cards !!!

Oh well. I dont think there are any good films on either. Last Sunday i had Dirty Dancing and Cocktail to watch, but tonight there is nothing on at all :mellow:

Well, resting!! And catching up here as Mr. MS has been on here most of the weekend (the computer). Had to sub 8:00-4:00 today at one of my preschool jobs and then @ 6:30 had to go to an association meeting for my Childcare Providers Association. We are trying to plan a float for the Christmas Parade which is the first Saturday in December. We have all of our ideas squared away and have a few minor details to iron out. I'll post pics if it's possible. Now, after catching up w/ you lot, I'll read and make ready for my big jaunt into town to pay bills and get groceries tomorrow. Woo-Hoo. 'Course, the way things have been going the past few weeks I'm liable to be SUBBING!! :blink:

Trying to escape from football being on the telly !!!

I also need to take the dog for his walk, but with the nights drawing in its proving hard to take him for a good romp as there are no street lights and im petrified of the dark :blink:

We also made a grisley discovery the other day when walking him. About 30 mins walk from the house, in the middle of a field we came across a cows leg (or maybe it was his arm :laugh: ). It was severed, just above the knee. What the chuffin hell could of done that ? I mean, a fox couldnt do it .... and deer wouldnt want to do it.

So now im scared about being out alone when its dark.

Mr.B even gave me a scarp pocket knife to carry with me. Totally illegal i know, but piece of mind.

I HAVE A DAY OFF FROM SUBBING!!! So, I'm going to get all of my domestic goddess stuff done today and after supper tonight, just loll around!! Of course, I have a full day to get there but it'll just be me and Mr. MS and he's hobbled up so I'll go shopping and bill paying SANS him and who knows what I'll get up to!! :devil:

Tonight I have been pampering myself.

I got home too late to go to the gym and Mr H was watching football, so I decided on some "me" time.

I've had a long bath, put a deep conditioning treatment on my hair, slapped on a face pack and plucked my eyebrows. I've just finished doing my nails and toenails and am now off to dry my hair.

Its been great. I haven't done this for myself for ages and i feel really relaxed now.

I have been trying on my Dublin outfits and I will now have to go and hundt out a sewing kit as a tie-thread from a blouse I am taking has fallen off. I am the worst sewer (please note that that is sewer in the needle and thread type not the rats type, before anyone makes any sarky comments) in the world...........I maybe gone for sometime!

Nevermind Dublin outfits, I've been trying on my halloween outfit (I'm off to a halloween party on Saturday)
Short black skirt, little black top, long black dracula type cape, black tights with spiders webs on them with my black granny type boots, and on the night I'm going to backcomb my hair, put loads of black eyeliner and black lipstick on.
Oh the goth days relived.

washing and drying and folding and hanging the last of the flippin' laundry. just loaded the dishwasher and started it running. wiped down kitchen. drove next door to try to beat up Mr. M's cousin's wife (she's a cow and I'll get her one day...y'all may want to start a fund to get me out, I'm sure they'll swap the euros and pounds for American $$$). got Spence ready for school tomorrow. trying to calm down. got on the board and had another experience. i think a voddy and pineapple will go down great just about now!!! who knows who will get who's knickers but I'll feel calmer!! may have to sub tomorrow but won't know til later. yes, that Absolut is calling...I can hear it.

Wondering if it's worth going to bed...

Wondering if it's worth going to bed...
Hmmmm - yes it was !!!

Tonight i am going to the pub. My car is having its MOT and if it fails i will cry into a drink - and if it passes i will celebrate :pimp:

resting as I have a LONG day subbing the little ones at one of my preschools I sub for Friday!!! Only 1 voddy and pineapple tonight, I had 2 last night and wanted to lay in!!

PACKING!!!!


I'm taking the largest suitcase in my cupboard to take everything "just in case", including Cat's fur(s).

That's funny Pats. So are Eric and I.






:devil:

I dont know what im doing tonight. They have live music down the pub, and i would quite like to go for one or two drinks and a dance, but Mr.B might be working until 9:30pm and i wont go alone.

So i will have to wait and see.

Well Mr.B has just gone to the pub for his cards game after enjoying a delish roast chicken (the dog appreciated the dinner too !!).

So i have just had a bubbly bath and washed my hair. I have a bottle of wine and my popcorn - and a film on the TV starting at 9pm. Blissful huh.

Tonight I am going to bed early!

Tonight I need to go to bed early but probably won't.

Tonight I need to go to bed early but probably won't.


Snap - lol

Tonight i will be having a well earned glass of wine. Ive had a good day at work today. Its been busy, but i have cleared my desk, the paperwork has gone to head office, and i feel like i have achieved something.

The only downside is that im starving. As the boss bought me a muffin earlier (and because im skint until tomorrow) i didnt buy any lunch. I thought the muffin would see me through ... but alas that isnt the case. I could now eat the table leg.

Tonight I will be helping my son move bedrooms - if he ever gets his old one tidied out!

Tonight I particularly wanted to watch "Love Lies Bleeding" (a two-parter on ITV with Martin Kemp in it). I watched it but it was so obvious that I had it all worked out very early on and I'm not usually that quick at spotting the red herrings. Will probably try and catch the ending tomorrow night though.

Im wondering whether to go to the pub or not.

Thursday night is my usual night ... but im feeling a tad lazy.

I will have to see if my friend texts me. If she does and asks where i am i will go - if she doesnt i will probably stay in and watch that new teacher drama starting tonight.

Ladies circle tonight and we are off out on a casino night.
Not going to a real casino, we are going to a pub and having a croupier teach us how to play.

Celebrations all round!

Off to the pub in a minute, just for a change of scenery and relax.

Who are you going with, CK?

At the moment I'm looking for a hotel for an overnight stay in Glasgow on Friday

Catching up on all that I've missed the past day and a half...veddy intevesting!

Few drinks at a friends house to start the evening off. Then off to local pub with the girls followed by a chinese and if i`m still capable I may ravish husband when I arrive home. :naughty:

Im having an early night.

I stayed in the pub until 1:30am last night (or should that be this morning) and i am knackered and still a tad hung over.

I definately need to be in bed, tucked up and watching some crud on TV at about 9pm this evening.

I am going to curl up in my armchair with my fleece throw wrapped round me and watch the soaps....if there is nothing on to watch after that, then you will probably find me on here..........:thumbsup:

I am going for a goof round the shops, then for some food and ONE drink.
As i was out veddy veddy late (hee..nice msspgirl) last nite...till half three.
Then I am going home sweet home to get into a long bath and some..er...short jim jams.
(or whatever mae west said.)
:-)

Good on ya hunnie......but dont you find that when you say you are only going for 1 cheeky half on a friday, that you have the bestest night out ever, usually a cracking party to go to...............

ahhhhhhhhhh I have such fond memories, but there is NO WAY I would be able to keep up nowadays - havent been lashed for nearly 2 years :smartie: cant cope with the hangovers :(

hangovers I can manage..it's the prices that scare me a bit.
:-))
Cheerio!
Have a good old weekend.
Aondeag is leaving the building!

Tonight is pub night .... and i think i deserve a few shandy's as i have had a busy couple of days.

My sis has just phoned and we're all meeting for a pint later. Apparantly mum wants to sell her side garden to a developer [this guy just knocked on the door and asked her!], so we've been summoned to the local to discuss same.

thank god I'm off tomorrow, as these discussions tend be accompanied by guinnesses and voddies.

Just finished my parent's evening - going to bed soon!

Well, I'm dodging Bella who apparently has become facinated with me...:wink_kiss , catching up with the posts, defending my view and my CARPORT, and I'm dead dog tired as my lay-in got ruined this morning and I have another early morning tomorrow. We have take-out for supper and if I get into jammers b/4 conking out it will be a small miracle.:ninja:

I'm off down the pub tonight to drink loads of the black stuff and eat nachos! :beer: :eat:

Pub pub pub ................

Need a drink after a hard day at school the Rob :laugh:
