DYJLIW someone makes you a nice cuppa tea, without a hidden agenda. Pass the lemon puffs, Floops.

Erm, what lemon puffs :bag:

THE ONES IN YOUR SPECIFICALLY ALLOCATED LEMON PUFF DRAWER. THE ONE ABOVE THE RETRACTABLE KIT-KAT TRAY.

Oops it seems to be locked. Must have lost the key.


*fidgets awkwardly*

At least have the decency to empty your mouth and wipe up the crumbs before you lie.

follogs

:bye: :eat:

DYJLIW...

you and 2½ year old grandson bake Bob the Builder cakes together. He's so sweet, I don't even mind cleaning up the stray cake mix and icing sugar off the walls, the cupboards, the floor :)

DYJLIW - when you have spent a very pleasant afternoon chatting and drinking wine!

DYJLIW - everything fits into the dishwasher!

did you remove the salmon first Fee? :pimp:

when it's nearly Friday :D

and when it's a bank holiday weekend and it's also half term and you've got a week off :kid:

and when it's a bank holiday weekend and it's also half term and you've got a week off :kid:
YES!!!!!!!
:holiday: :holiday: :holiday:

You're sat outside in the blazing sunshine .... very hot but happy, reading a trashy novel.

I just nipped inside to cool off before venturing out again.

DYJLIW BB is starting in 10 hours:funky: :w00t:

Ooh yeah... but bubs woke me at 4am and I couldn't get back to sleep so I'm worried I won't make it...

.... when you have an excuse to eat shed loads of chocolate - well, it does keep you awake, it's a well known fact

DYJLIW BB is starting in 10 hours:funky: :w00t:

You finally find E4 on your Freeview Box after the one who is supposed to know all about these things tells you that we probably can't get it in our area :wallbash:

Well I fiddled with it while he's out and I've got it. :thumbsup:

I've put how I found it on the Freeview TV thread (excuse all the jumping up and down and singing on there but I was soooooo chuffed, not only to get it but to do it unaided - hehe)

Well Done Critique :thumbsup:

DYJLIW an old mate comes round on his trike, stays for an hour telling you all about his holiday touring the States on a hired Harley, and then insists on giving your missus a lift to work - despite the fact that she hates bikes (even more than she hates me at the moment) - and won't take no for an answer! :devil:

Oh the picture that conjurs up Dab - got me giggling. I have this mental image of Mrs. Dab shaking her fist at you as she is whisked away :devil:

My new toilet has just been installed ...horrah. God i have missed having a wee inside :ninja: Unfortunately i still havent got a sink - but Mr.B has just whizzed off to Focus for a part he needs, so hopefully that should be remeded (sp) soon.

I have just finished my ironing, which was more or less the only job i needed to do today (well, there are hundreds of jobs, but i soooo cant be arsed).

And even though its only 11:45 i am on my 2nd glass of red wine :bag:

Oh, and we are off to the pub for a meal tonight as its our last day of our holiday :thumbsup:

And even though its only 11:45 i am on my 2nd glass of red wine :bag:



slow down love! you'll be beating yuor record of a bottle of wine in 20 mins at this rate!!! :wine: :wine:


Actually i think I might join you with a beer on the patio since the sun is now shining in our neck of the woods...

you've finally put together your work bench.

I bought it about 2 months ago and it's just been sitting in my loft laughing at me, specially when I was sawing wood precariously balanced between two drawers just cos I couldn't be ar5ed to put the tool bench together.

Oh and... when your blokie sells the laptop your using (well it is hi) but then promises to help you build your computer tomorrow (I've had most the bits sitting in a cupboard for months).

Finally a computer of my very own!

DYJLIW you have an impromptu get together with some friends.

They come round to drop off some wood and you end up spending the afternoon and evening eating pizza and drinking wine.:thumbsup:

DYJLIW - You finally get your garden done and no longer feel like you should be ashamed of it! :bag:

You go to the doctors about your chest infection and he was soooo wonderful :thumbsup: He listened to my chest and frowned and then said that i needed something stronger. So i now have these MASSIVE tablets that i take once a day for a week. I then have to go back and have a check up again.

The only downside is that i now have to use a 3rd asthma pump twice daily. I tell you, the cocktail of pumps i take is unreal. This one is another preventative jobbie, and i take it before i go to work, and when i get home.

I have to collect it tonight.

DYJLIW - your hair feels lovely and soft - doesn't look bad either!

DYJLIW your boss brings in a glass of wine for everyone because one of the other offices has made a big sale.

:drinking:

DYJLIW.....


you're going to have a mega weekend with some mega friends!! Cant' wait for the weekend ... I may have to start drinking tonight! I have been practising for a few days now, but I still need to put in a bit extra! It's all in a good cause!

DYJLIW Dol allows her cuddly slushy underneath feelings to show. :wink_kiss

DYJLIW Dol allows her cuddly slushy underneath feelings to show. :wink_kiss

trouble with me Dab is that I'm all cuddly and slushy deep deep down in those places I dont' like to go!!!

I'm all cuddly and slushy all over, no deep dark crevices with me.

DYJLIW you don't have to pick the kids up because the childminder's still in London and will drop them back later. :)

DYJLIW - you know you are going to have a fantastic weekend :funky:

Are you all ours tonight then Rob? :naughty:

Are you all ours tonight then Rob? :naughty:

Apart from BB and one or two other things - maybe:unsure:

You bid on a handbag on ebay which has just sat there for days on a starting bid of £2.50 (mine). Then some sneaky bint waits til the last 5 mins and puts in a bid of £3.00, then £3.50, £4.00, £4.50, £5.00 and either ran out of time or gave up. Luckily I had put in a maximum proxy bid of £6.00 so I got it for £5.50 and she lost it for the sake of 50p. :thumbsup:

Oh I love it cos I've had it done to me so many times. They sneak in, in the closing few minutes and try to "snipe" it.
:laugh:

Well done you :D It's always fab to win, especially when someone is trying to outbid you!

I must admit I always bid in the last 30 seconds, but the other day I was beaten on something with 6 seconds left. I was gobsmacked :)

Boo, I can't buy anything on ebay at the moment, cos we might not be here for it to be delivered to.

Pah.

I'm a last second chick too, in fact I lurrrve swooping in and snaffling someone elses prize :bag:

My tip for ebay

Watch the item, then put your first bid in at 2 mins to go, then open the ebay item in another window whilst still on the make your bid page, and if a sneaky last min bid comes in just flick back to your bid page and bid 3 quid and 76p higher. Saves a lot of clicks and page loading times.

......I rarely lose :)

Boo, I can't buy anything on ebay at the moment, cos we might not be here for it to be delivered to.

feel free to have your booty sent to me :D

DYJLIW Scotland win:D:w00t:

DYJLIW - you had a wonderful weekend! :wink_kiss

I shall be going back over Gunwharf to find Terry and Tony, Chukka and Bob...and all those other lovely chaps we scared the hell out of to apologise...! :blush:

DYJLIW - you had a wonderful weekend! :wink_kiss




Ditto :thumbsup:

DYJLIW

the sun's shining :thumbsup:

Yeh, the suns shining here too.

Hope your feeling better this morning Crit?

Thanks Andrea. I do feel better for a lot of sleep. I just loved the way my other half came in from work and found me curled up on the sofa (not a usual occurrence I might add). I waited for him to enquire what was wrong but nothing! I had to say that I didn't feel very well and my throat was sore and he gave me that look that says "feeling sorry for yourself". He then watched me go out and make us both a cup of tea. Not very good on the "caring" front I'm afraid.

I think some men go into panic mode when they think we might need a bit of looking after instead of the other way round!! He did go and heat up the remains of Sunday's casserole for himself, but not a word about whether I would like something.

Ah well, he has some good points sometimes.

I'm glad to hear you are feeling a little better Crit!



DYJLIW - the sun is still shinning when you get home from work (normally it goes in about 20 minutes before I get home)

DYJLIW Scotland win:D:w00t:

Let's hope they can do the same tomorrow! My friend's hubby does the commentating for it, so listen out for his dulcet tones!

Glad you're feeling better Crit, must have been that hectic weekend you had! ;)

Aww glad your feeling better.

I'll tell you what though, your hubby and mine sound exactly the same.
Any slight bit of support/sympathy needed and he doesn't know what to say.:rolleyes:

DYJLIW The sun is out and Rusedski's just won his match at Queens and Wimbledon's nearly here and you're looking forward to watching it on the portable telly outside and your rebel body has allowed you to enjoy the sun on your skin for the first time in three or four years and life is wonderful! :thumbsup:

Awww, Dab I am so pleased for you! Your happiness really shows in that post!

Wimbledon, yeah it won't be long until it's on our screens - did you see the French Open on Sunday with the young Spanish guy, he was good! I am hoping that the young Scottish lad from Dunblane who won the USA (under 18's) will do well!

Thanks, Bella. I'm loving this sun!

Nadal, yes. He got knocked straight out of a tournament in Germany today, but that's hardly surprising after the weekend. Roll on WimbleWomble!

Great stuff Dabby :hug:


DYLIW - it is only just over a week before miss ils comes home for the summer :wub:

DYJLIW your youngest sprout has her first driving lesson at 3pm and it's really easy to set her off on one of those nervous arm-flappy-excited-squealy things just by singing a Madness song at her.

I am driving in my car... beep beep... :devil:

Oh, bless. Does she realise she won't actually get over 10 miles an hour first time round? Very exciting for her, though.

DYJLIW - you have been for a nice walk and a gossip with your friend, on a lovely afternoon!

Oh, bless. Does she realise she won't actually get over 10 miles an hour first time round? Very exciting for her, though.

I just asked her. She doesn't know how fast she was going - says she wasn't looking. :laugh:

Hmmm, that augers well then! :ohmy: Has she come down yet?

Yes, she's just stomped off to play Meatloaf at danger volume in her bedroom after her sister refused to let her drive her car. :laugh:

Yes, she's just stomped off to play Meatloaf at danger volume ..........

That girl has got dangerously good taste. :wink2:

She said they are investigating Makosi for violating her employment permit with Wycombe Hospital by going on big brother and she may be facing deportation!!

As a matter of fact, Patsy, that is my favourite town in the whole UK. Heaven on earth. I'm just off to find Becks' thread...

Last week Mr tiggs and myself went shopping for a new mobile phone tariff for him. Whilst in the shop, a thought of a new mobile for me came to mind. :laugh: I only use pay as you go as it would be wasteful for me to pay a monthly fee. Anyway, I picked out a phone, a Nokia 6610i, because it had a camera. Mr tiggs bought it for me and I was thrilled. Anyway, I got it home and I wasn't overkeen, it took rubbish pictures to start with, and the keypad was naff. Come to find out, the infrared was faulty, so today, we returned the phone. We were going to exchange it like for like, but another phone caught my eye. A Nokia 6230i. But it was more expensive, £140.00 more expensive to be exact. You know what? Mr tiggs bought it for me! I love it. :wub: What a wonderful man! :)

You are just spoilt, Tiggs :laugh:

DYJLIW......you have an evening to yourself (once the kids are in bed, which will be VERYYYY early tonight) cos your hubby has gone away to Southampton to see Oasis in concert and won't be back til lunchtime tomorrow!!!

Not at all, you lucky moo!

DYJLIW - at the School Sports Presentation evening tonight your eldest son receives a certificate of achievement for basketball, cross country and athletics and his colours in athletics :wub:

Congratulations to Master ils. Might we see him in 7 years?

Well done to your lad, ils! Wouldn't that be brilliant, to see him represent his country?

I don't think he is quite up to that standard but he enjoys his sport which can't be a bad thing :D

Congratulation all round ILS... There's still time for him to improve, you never know. After all six months ago the possiblity of getting the Olympics here seemed remote.

Your boss is going on holiday for 3 weeks, starting this lunchtime :cool: Brill, it should be an easier few weeks for me.

DYJLIW - you have just returned from a very nice afternoon at the pub :thumbsup:

You have spent all day babysitting - very efficiently - if I do say so myself and they have now gone home and you can have a beer or three :w00t: :w00t:

I am on my jolly old way Andrea. :drinking: :beer:
It was actually quite amusing turning up in the playground to pick mine up with two little girls and hubby in tow......people are so used to seeing me on my own they all did double takes, especially when mr b told them the CSA had finally caught up with him and insisted that he look after his kids and wasn't I great to just take them on with no argument :laugh:

Ahha! I've got two
DYJLIW...............

I got one over on Brittany ferries! I spoke to an adviser the other day about cancelling my hol and what the penalty would be, it's normally just £10 if 42 days or more before travel, I'd just missed out, but becasue I bombarded them with letters and e mails they agreed to let me cancel for just £10 seeing as I was only 2 days short, as soon as I got my confirmation of the refund, I re-booked for £81 less. I'm feeling smug and the prices have just shot up again.

Also not once but twice yesterday I was told that I looked great having lost weight. I've only lost 8lbs, and I'm still over 12 stone but it looks like more. I'm pleased :)

Well done Bob - 2 good results :thumbsup:

Mr.B. stops by the office with a freshly made fruit salad and a toffee muffin :blush:

Dont you just love it when that happens .... congrat on the weight loss :wink_kiss

I had a similar thing yesterday evening. I was down the pub and a man there kept telling Mr.B how lucky he was and that if he were 15 years younger he would fight him for me ... and that i was very very beautiful etc. The fact that he was peed as a fart and could hardly stand up didnt seem to matter at the time :laugh:

DYJLIW you've only got 6 more to go and you've got a full house

you think you have a weeks worth of work you dont want to do and then someone changes it to a really good weekend.

Don't you just love it when: your skint and you look in your purse and find a ten pound note wedged down the side that you thought you did'nt have!!! :w00t:

Well done Bridge - shame it wasnt a £20 :thumbsup:

DYJLIW you treat yourself to a new handbag .. and its perfect. Its a slouch bag, and very saggy, baggy and wonderful.

I have just spent a happy 1/2 hr putting all my rubbish into it. And when i looked and the bottom of my old bag :sick: It was revolting, full of crumbs, dog hair and bits of chewing gum papers :ninja:

Mine too Bons. Who puts them there? I love getting a new bag and transferring all my old cr@p............ erm vitally important personal possessions into it.

Who puts them there?.

I have no idea as i very rarely eat chewing gum !!!! I think it must be the 'manky bag' fairy.

I know i could do the sensible thing and wash the bag or wipe it out - but getting a new one is sooooooooo much more fun.

Its very nice, dark brown with a few tassles, and it should of been £35 and it was £7. Not bad heh :thumbsup:

Don't you just love it when: your feeling down in the dumps and your children give you a hug and tell you they love you. :wub:

Don't you just love it when: your feeling down in the dumps and your children give you a hug and tell you they love you. :wub:

Oh yes...... that is the best feeling in the world!

Don't you just love it when: you have had your eye on something you have fancied for ages and your hubby comes home from work and has bought it for you. :w00t:

I can only imagine, Bridge. :sad:

I can only imagine, Bridge. :sad:


Aww poor Patsy, what do you fancy Pat i'll buy it for you. :)

My son doing the bbq in his swimming googles. His eyes were stinging. Bless and love him.

The Queen/Paul Rogers concern tour video when it comes out. Thanks Bridge. :sad:

DYJLIW you go to the pub and your boys go to the park, then they have an impromptu quiz in the beer garden and your boys come back they behave like little stars and you have a lovely evening and you come back to toast and tea. :wub:

My son doing the bbq in his swimming googles. His eyes were stinging. Bless and love him.

That boy is just ADORABLE! (Although once again I think you are in the wrong thread ... don't you want to be in the what made you laugh today thread? ... sorry to be so pedantic on your birthday and all that!).


DYJLIW ... it's your sister's 40th Birthday and your going up to see her today to get mildly drunk and eat lots of food!

DYJLIW - you have a little visitor (hedgehog) in your garden 2 nights in a row :wub:

DYJLIW.......

YOu've had the perfect day :photo:

DYJLIW - miss ils passes her first year exams :wub:

Congratulations Miss Ils. Clever girl!

Well done Miss ils - and well done ils for helping her get there! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys, there was no doubt in my mind that she would pass them, but it is always good to get the confirmation :D

My nasty boss is going on holiday on Monday for 3 weeks, so i thought i had another 2 full days working with him ..... BUT he has just announced that he is leaving to day at lunchtime, and also only working a few hours in the morning :w00t:

Yippppeeeeeeee :thumbsup:

DYJLIW - you have a long chat with a special friend you haven't spoken to for a while :thumbsup:

DYJLIW people are really nice!:)

DYJLIW - it stops raining and you have a lovely time at the BBQ :thumbsup:

you get a wine making kit, follow the instructions & it turns out ok :cool2:

Im on holiday from Thursday - and i cant wait, even though it is only for a long weekend :w00t:

Are you going anywhere nice Bonnie?


DYJLIW - the sun has finally come out :D

Are you going anywhere nice Bonnie?

No :bag:

Actually my sister and brother in law are camping about 40 mins drive from me - and they are going for a week. So they asked us if we wanted to go and stay a few nights with them. So we are going 'proper' camping, with no luxuries. I.e - no electric, no caravan, no toilet NOTHING.

So we are packing the tent, gas cooker, and the dog - and having a 'back to basic's 3 day weekend. Im having Thurs off as i have a lunch planned with friends, and then Friday - Sunday we are camping, and then i have Monday off at home / pub all by myself as Mr.B is working :w00t:

DYJLIW your wife starts her new job today, working days instead of evenings, and your youngest daughter is preparing to start at art college in a few weeks, so you can see unhindered daily access to the PC shining brightly on the close horizon! :w00t:

we are going 'proper' camping

Rather you than me :wacko:

DYJLIW - you have finished your ironing (well at least until you do more washing)

DYJLIW your new mp3 player comes through the post this morning:thumbsup:

DYJLIW - it stops raining just before you leave work, so you can walk home without getting wet!


DYJLIW - when you arrive home you have a cup of tea waiting for you!

When your PC has been returned from the repair shop! This one is way too slow for my liking!

You only had 3 fags yesterday :w00t:

As mentioned in the ailment thread, i have another chest infection. But rather than running to the doctors i just increased the steroids i use to control my asthma (which the doctor said i could do) and i have cut about 10 fags a day out .... so im quite pleased with myself.

Im still coughing well, but not nearly as much as over the weekend, so i dont think i will book a doctors appointment yet, but just see what happens.

You only had 3 fags yesterday
Well done Bonnie!


DYJLIW - you managed not to step on anyone's toes this week at dance class!

Thanks ILS :thumbsup: Im trying.

DYJLIW someone makes you a cup of coffee PLUS its my lunch hour in 50 minutes time (ish) and im starving and cant wait.

DYJLIW - everyone has gone out and you can have a couple of hours peace :thumbsup:

Mr. B buying me an eternity ring :w00t:

I forgot to mention it before, but last weekend we went to the shops, and he disappeared for a while saying he wanted to buy me a pressie. When we got back to our tent he presented me with a little box. When i opened it there was a perfect ring. He gave me the valuation to keep with my others, and basically its a gold ring with 5 'A Class' (whatever that means) diamonds in a band totalling 1 carat.

I feel sooooo loved up and its beautiful.

DYJLIW the sun is out - just off to enjoy it for the few seconds that it will be here!!

Rob, you posted that 6 minutes ago. See that black cloud?

It's here now :sad:

Only about 1.5hrs until i get to go home :w00t:

DYJLIW - a song you love, but haven't herd for ages, suddenly comes on the radio. :thumbsup:

Fantastic!

which one Karen?

Kiss from a Rose - Seal

Everytime you go into the room Milo comes bounding up to the edge of the cage to say hello! :wub:

Sid is still a bit nervous (as he is a bit younger) and tends to run and hide but he'll get over it soon!

DYJLIW the kids have gone away for 4 days.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

DYJLIW the kids have gone away for 4 days.

hey I've spotted a contradiction here!

DYJLIW.....(bit of a long one here but bear with me)....

after a bit of a heated "discussion" the other day with hubby about the amount of time I spend on here, I decided to stay off the computer for a few days.
Came on again yesterday for a little bit, then wasn't going to come on here today.
Just finished watching a program on TV (I have control of the remote) go out for a ciggie, come back in and see hubby has turned it over to the history channel (Yawwwwwwn)
I say to him "I see you've turned it over"
He replies "Go on your computer" :laugh:
There wasn't anything on TV I wanted to watch anyway, so I am now on here :w00t:
But I won't be spending as much time on here as I have been doing, because I feel I have been on here too long at times and the family have been missing out.

If that is how you feel Andrea, you are doing the right thing :thumbsup: :hug:

DYJLIW - everyone else has gone to bed and peace reigns once again :thumbsup:

Hmmmm...wot u still doin' up?

Go to bed you late night party animal!
