TE it was a very sweet thing and all, but unfortunately he is running on borrowed air minute by minute b/c if I give him too much latitude...well, it goes to HELL in a handbasket!!

Have fun gettin' all cultured BAAABEEEE!!:applause:

You get in to the new NHS dentist :thumbsup:

The dentist here got new larger premises, and EVERYONE put their name on the list to try and join there. I put mine down last November.

I have waited, and waited - and i finally got a call this afternoon booking me an appointment. Yippeee.

I started to fear i would have to go private.

DYJLIW............................................ .................

Your 2nd lot of surgery has been sucessful and you can stand upright AND walk without bluddy crutches!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup: I had the op 2 wks ago yesterday, and came home 2 weeks ago tomorrow!!!!!!!! I now have 7 weeks of doing nothing apart from sitting (no longer than an hour at a time), walking, which is ok, but my but my gawd my legs go to jelly if I do too much :blink: and the rest of my time is spent flat on my back (easy now!!!! I know, nowt new there then)

I should start physio when the 7 weeks are up, and I will have to do a back in action programme which is 6 weeks long but I dont know how long it will take before I can go on it......

So at long last, apart from all the drugs and weaning myself off them, I am starting to feel like ME again :yahoo:

Thanks for all the emails and pm's if I could sit for longer I would reply to youy all, but my time is nearly up and I still need to nip on Amazon to buy myself a PS2 a couple of games and Jaws dvd for my niece who wont shut up about it so Im going to watch it with her....:blush: ......

Lotsa love n hugs to you all

:yahoo: Yay way to go Isis! :yahoo:

Now...what will you do about 'Without a Trace' when they start re-runs at 1100 weekdays again? Will you be staying into watch them or can you not wait to struct your stuff around town once more? :blink:

Fantastic news Isis - im really chuffed it all went according to plan :thumbsup:

awwww thanks guys......:wub:

you do realise that now im on the mend i will be about on here more though dont you :laugh:

I cant remember if I told you my other news, I have found a little flat to buy and I will be completing on the sale of the house in Devon in the next 2 weeks, I can then get things moving on the flat and while im still here at Ma's I will be having a new kitchen fitted and it all decorated before going and getting all the furniture - handily, my sis has a trade account at some FAB warehouse near Birmingham where they do fabulous furniture, soft furnishings the whole shebang.......

I will be doing some major works on the flat and garden, but think that can wait till next year, I just really want somewhere to put down some roots for me and little Nipper Dawg, Ma and Pa have been WONDERFUL and supportive, but at 42 36 (im the new Lea minus the boobs:applause: ) its a tad too long in the tooth to be living with your parents, and I am fed up of hanging out of my bedroom window to have a cheeky smoke, although again, the parents have been sooooooo cool about what and when I smoke - I am very lucky in that respect, but I think that they have realised that after over 20 years of me smoking the "herbs" Im not going to end up a smack head as a result (says she who is on shed loads of morphine and diazepam:mellow: but I got off it all before so I KNOW I can do it again!)

Anyway, this post is getting a bit long, dont want to bore you all to death.....

Keep your faces to the sunshine (if you can find some) peeps love n snogs

DYJLIW.....youa re going on holiday tonight (well early hours tomorrow)...:applause: :flex: :yahoo: a whole week of sea, sand, sunshine and beer!!!!

DYJLIW.....youa re going on holiday tonight (well early hours tomorrow)...:applause: :flex: :yahoo: a whole week of sea, sand, sunshine and beer!!!!
Oh lovely. Where are you going? Have fun

DYJLIW it's party time today (Saturday) It's my son's 7th birthday and we are having a swimming party, then me and my sister, whose visiting for a week, and some of my friends are going out for a drink in the evening!

dyjliw your beloved woof woof, who has been smelling a bit ripe recently, finally gets a proper wash, conditioner, blow dry, nails done and ears cleaned and loves himself to bits now..

got this mobile dog wash to call to the house at lunchtime. Fabulous service outside your own home so the little dahlings don't get too freaked being carted off to a poodle parlour.

all the above was only e25.00 [ST£16.50 ].....

t'was great fun too, all the neighbours came around for a gawk at Jordie getting his back scrubbed......:kid:

You are married to a wonderful man :wub:

As i have mentioned, ive been feeling a little low lately. Thursday night is normally my night out. The reason we initially picked this night is because Mr.B is home all day Thurs so i dont mind leaving the little 'uns in the evening as they are knackered from following him around all day. But yesterday he had to work, so i wasnt going to go out.

Mr.B knew i had been low lately, and knew i needed some 'me' time. So he moved his last two driving lessons into today so he could get home at 2:30 and wear the dogs out. Just so i could go out and play.

It means he has a busy day ahead of him today, but he did it just for me. Aint love grand :)

Aaaah - he's a good man Bons. Treasure him (as I'm sure you do).

DYJLIW.....youa re going on holiday tonight (well early hours tomorrow)...:applause: :flex: :yahoo: a whole week of sea, sand, sunshine and beer!!!!
I would if it were me, but I'm thinking of hating the fact it's you - I'm jeeeeaaaaalousssss :(

DYJLIW you have your annual personal development review at work (I know, I know I've only been there 4 months?!?!) and your boss reckons you will be a "high acheiver"

Another 5-10 years and you could be looking at a sister here, you know:w00t:

That's a long time to keep up the pretence Andrea :unsure:

Nah, well done - I'll know where to come when the kidneys pack up :good:

BUZZ IS BACK !!!!!!!!! :w00t:

BUZZ IS BACK !!!!!!!!! :w00t:
HOw kind Floopy.:sun:

And may I say it is lovely to be back. (I don't ususally look forward to coming back off holiday, but this time I was first at the check in desk to get back)

The week was not a huge success I am afraid to say, but it was a week in the sun with no washing machine, phone, tv or pesky relatives annoying me so that was nice.:good:

Good to see you back btw.

BUZZ IS BACK !!!!!!!!! :w00t:

:w00t: It's like a belated Glorious Twelfth. Open season for Buzzlies.:w00t:

Oh, and the grouch is back as well :mellow: .

Only kidding dearest :wink_kiss

Ok Crit, here are the details...

We booked a late holiday to Benidorm, we have never been (and shall not be returning either). We arrived on the Saturday afternoon driving to the hotel was like cruising through a concrete jungle, the hotels are so tightly packed together in such small areas, however our hotel was a little way out and in fairness it was lovely. Four star, immaculately clean, the room was big enough to sleep five comfortably, the pool was big and there were two bars. We had booked all inclusive, and I will not do that again in a hurry either (that said we have already booked an all inclusive in Egypt for next Feb!!) by the end of the week I was so sick of eating in the same place that I just gave up eating..

On the Monday night I was putting little buzz to bed about midnight and he said he felt sick, I put it down to tiredness and heat, he went off to sleep and we were awoken at 2am to the sounds of vomit hitting tiles...this went on all ngiht and most of tuesday morning.

On the Wednesday Mr B said he had water in his ear from the swimming pool, but no worries this often happens and it will 'pop', by Thursday pm he still hadn't 'popped' and his ear was beinging to throb...

On Thursday night, eldest buzz went to bed, and about 1.30 woke up to go to, what I thought, the loo...two minutes later I am awoken again to the sound of vomit hitting tiles....this carreid on for most of Friday. By teatime he felt a little better and tried some soup for dinner....this returned with a vengance all over the hotel reception...by this time Mr B can't stand the pain in his ear anymore and trollied off to the chemist to get something for it, returning with a spray for said ear.

Saturday....hooray we are going home....Mr B is on the floor with pain in his ear, so we get back from the airport and proceed straight to the hosiptal where he is diagnosed with a serious ear canal infection.

So all in all, not a good time. It was however, lovely to have a week in the sun away from the washing machine, phone, tv, etc.....but not to Benidorm again for me....oh no sireee!!

:cry: Oh dear Buzzy - that sounds awful! Stories of lost luggage, less than perfect hotel rooms etc. I can sympathise with, but having the little ones being so ill and Buzz Snr in pain really tugged at the heart strings and I can see why it's put you off.

Here's a big :hug: and another one for luck :hug: and I hope you have a much better time in Egypt next year.

I hope you have a much better time in Egypt next year.

At least they'll be prepared for the tummy bugs :ninja:

Thanks Crit. I am sure we will.

Just to add to the misery, I have just had to dash out after a phone call from eldest buzz to say that middle buzz has fallen in the park and he is now on the settee with an ice pack on a very swollen foot:wallbash:

Oh lord....does it ever end??:cry:

Crikey Buzz I take back my jealousy at you going on holiday!!!

Thanks Crit. I am sure we will.

Oh lord....does it ever end??:cry:

Sorry to be the one to break this to ya Buzz, but no, it never ends. They grow up and you still worry about them, their relationships, if they're driving carefully, eating properly, etc. and don't even get me started on when the grandkids come along :(

Hope middle buzz is back on his feet soon :hug: I think you need a girls' night out or a big bottle of something alcoholic, not forgetting chocolate, lots of chocolate :)

I got up this morning at 5:45am (normal) but instead of sprogging on the sofa i pulled on my wellies and took the dogs for a long walk along the sea.

It was blummin gorgeous with the sun coming up over the water. I smiled the whole way around. It was warm, dew was in the grass and the smell was fantastic. I also didnt see a single other person. Bliss.

I now feel refreshed and ready for the day ahead :thumbsup:

DYJLIW...it only gets up to 78 degrees F today???!!!:applause: First time in weeeekkkkssss we've got to play out in the afternoon at pre-school!! I kept the little beasts out till the last one was gone!! I even got a little sunburnt!:laugh: :applause: :sunb:

DYJLIW one of your wife's colleagues, on meeting you for the first time, thinks that you look too young to be married to your wife (I'm 4 years older than her):laugh:

For some reason my wife is not amused http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/konfus/a015.gif

Goodness Rob - that makes me wonder how your wife talks about you at work
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/FenellaFinkelstein/smiley/vio2.gif

DYJLIW......you are off to a Robbie Williams concert in a couple of hours:yahoo: :yahoo:

He probably feels the same way, knowing you'll be there Buzz :thumbsup:

Not that I'm jealous, or anything...

dyjliw you get a text from robbie about buzz. [pretend you're single, girl - you are SSOoo in there!!]

also, when it's nearly going to the pub time for a well deserved cold pint after the day from hell....

and, when Urk says he's springing for a roll. And some chow mein. NO COOKING TONIGHT. Hold on, I like cooking. Ah begger.

Another glorious weather day with cool breezes!! The children did their project outside on our picnic table and I even...don't faint...let them stay up ALL THROUGH NAPTIME for once in their life!! I only had 8, yet I learned even the sweetest ones really need naptime, so no more of that foolishness!!:shocking: I'm all pink on my arms and face and legs from being out all day, save the children's lunchtime and about 30 mins. of 'Circle Time'. But we had fun all in all so I just LOVED it being Friday, payday, no night work day, and when the last child got on the other side of the door to go home with their parental unit, who has to deal with them ALL WEEKEND!!:w00t:

DYJLIW......you are off to a Robbie Williams concert in a couple of hours:yahoo: :yahoo:
I know it's not done to quote yourself but....

DYJLIW..you get this close to the front at a Robbie concert.....

...Bitch.....:angry:

well done you, Buzz!

as people may or not be aware I loathe Robbie, however, I fully support your right to adore him (I know 10's of thousands do!).

DYJLIW ... you get a new keyboard and the characters fairly bounce of the keyboard!

I'm going to take the old one apart later tonight (yep, it's a slow night on telly!!) and see what does actually lie beneath!

Be careful - it's probably toxic by now:shocking:

I will photograph the contents and post them up later! :kid:

What a fantastic position, Buzz! Great view.

I saw his concert on telly the other night and I just don't get why Jonathon Wilkes is on tour with him. What is that all about? I know they're best mates and I've nothing against Wilksy, but it spoiled it for me.

HAve to agree, I coudn't see why he brings him on, but then when you see it live it somehow doesn't seem as cheesy, maybe it's the atmosphere or something, but it seemed slightly better live....

Did you do the Bendy Buzzabimbi for him?

DYJLIW - You become fruit smash champion! :yahoo:

DYJLIW you get a sky upgrade to the full package for only 75p more than you are paying at the moment!:applause:

Normal price for full package is £43, I've got it for £21.75/month for 3 months.

Ryder cup here we come!

Barbara, are those pink fluffy anti-w*****g gloves they're wearing?

In a fashion... they took them off a girl in the front row. Jonny Wilkes said they were perfect for when he was alone in a hotel room to rub his balls with!

DYJLIW you have a four day weekend!!:applause:

DYJLIW whilst you are at work, hubby has been busy at home drilling holes in walls and connecting the phone line through to the computer. So now I don't have to drag a telephone line all the way from the dining room, through the hall into the living room, when I want to go on t'internet.

I just switch on and awaaaaaaaaaaaaay I go!:good:

I had two beautiful silver bangles a while back which i wore day in, day out. I remember in the summer last year taking them off when sunbathing .... and hadnt seen them since.

The same went for a couple of very classy silver large rings which i adored.

Mr.B found them in the shed this morning, so i have cleaned them up and they are now adorning my wrists / fingers.

Fab

DYJLIW - You finally find 3 + 2 seater sofas that will fit through your excessively narrow front door and into your front room...they are new...they are blue and I will recieve them in a maximum of 8 weeks most likely sooner! :yahoo:

A friend of mine is about to have a baby girl - and i bought a pressie off the internet. It was a set of three bibs and a teddy. It cost me only about £10, but it looked different to what you would normally buy in Boots / Woolworths etc ...

Well, its gorgeous. It arrived this morning and it is in a lovely round box, like a minature hat box, and inside its so well presented with all the bibs in a circle and the teddy cuddling in the middle.

Im really chuffed, and i know she will love it.

DYJLIW you win a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates in a raffle:wine:

DYJLIW you win a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates in a raffle:wine:
Yes, I would love that Rob.....I shall have to put up with buying mine for now

My car has passed its MOT ... yipppeeee.

Mr.B took it for me this morning, and i have been sat at work sooooo scared. It failed miserably last year and cost me about £1000 to put right. I got really badly into debt on my credit card.

So this year i had all my fingers and toes crossed - and its done me proud :good: I might have to go out for a meal tonight to celebrate :blush:

Its my wedding anniversary today - and Mr.B bought me an i-dog. You play it music, and it shows emotions and things. I had him in the car with me this morning, and he was bopping around and making little barking noises. Awwwww, its so cute :applause:

Its my wedding anniversary today - and Mr.B - I had him in the car


really Bonsai too much information!

congrats by the way :applause: - how many years is it now?

Wow Bonsai - I have to say it's been quite a few years since I had Mr Figaro in the car. Brings back some happy (sexy) memories.....

Lucky Lady! And congrats on the anniversary too.

LMAO!

Just read through the last few posts properly, and reliase that Bonsai had her i-dog in the car on her anniversary. Hahahah :lol:

I'd just read Dolores quote - hadn't realised that it was doctored - and thought that Bonsai had "had" Mr B in the car on their anniversary. I was right envious too - memories of teenage frolics and all that :blush:

Anyway, once again mucho congratultions to the Bonsai family on the anniversary.

Oooooohh you saucy devils. The words 'if only' spring to mind. Its been years since i 'had' Mr.B in the car :bag:

Its was my 14th wedding anniversary yesterday ... thanks for asking :thumbsup:

Oooh, I'm being headhunted :w00t:

The Deputy of the school where my old deputy is now head, (are you following) rang me today to ask how much money I'd want to go work there instead. He's trying to create a job for me.

I was a bit stumped, being as how I was doing 90 on the motorway at the time,but i went in at 5K over what I'm on now.

He's just go to convince the governors and I'm in!

As you know, Mr.B and I have done some work in one of the pubs local to us .... and our MAIN night was New Years Eve. It was a good night, and we had heaps of praise, and a round of applause at the end of the evening which gave us a ready brek glow.

The landlord has just called to ask us to do more shifts, which is good as we need the dosh .... and apparently the locals are still praising us on our work. The normal barmaid is a little glum most of the time, but i like her. She is good at what she does. But because Mr.B and i had a laugh and joke with everyone whilst serving, they appreciated it.

They had a tips jar on the bar which contained A LOT of money by the end of New Year. We didnt think we would get a look in as we have only done about 5 shifts between us, but apparently we are both getting our share ... and so we have another £40 coming to us :good:

Result.

Good girl Bons! How awesome for you and Mr. B:thumbsup:

I have just ordered myself some sexy new glasses :good:

I had my eyes tested back in Nov, and they had changed a lot. I wondered why i had been getting headaches !! So i went in today to try on a lot of different glasses, and i have got an expensive gorgeous pair for work / going out, and a cheap pair for around the house / wearing to watch telly in bed.

I cant wait to collect them. They should be in within the week :w00t:

Maybe i should post a piccie :sun:

...you're working from home full time :D

...when you get your first payment for mystery shopping.

hello TB!

tell us more about being a mystery shopper - it sounds intriguing!

my dad was a mystery customer for a local van hire firm, at first he quite enjoyed it, getting a free use of a hire care or van, but to be honest the company and it's staff were so good that he never had anything out of the ordinary to report and eventually gave it up.

do they give you a certain amount of money so that you can actually purchase stuff? or do you buy it and then have to go and get a refund?

Yeah Tim please tell us more

My one of my daughters works in Starbucks and they frequently a get visited by mystery shoppers

DYJLIW you return a broken item to a shop that refuses to give you a refund, but allows you to do a "straight swap" for something similar. Only they end up ends up swapping your item (which cost £15 originally) for another item which cost £45! At their suggestion!

Result!

I've come to the conclusion that the best time to do refunds and exchanges is when the shop is overrun with customers, the queues are huge and the sales assistant is the only 1 in the department.

Well Miz Figs...you go girl!!:sun:

Yeah Tim please tell us more

My one of my daughters works in Starbucks and they frequently a get visited by mystery shoppers

It depends on the establishment. Restaurant and pub ones involve you buying drinks/food which you then get back as well as the fee!

Other ones I have done involve buying something and taking it back (obviously they need to check that their stores are handling refunds and returns correctly).

The trickiest part is being able to notice everything about an outlet (state of cleaniness, number of assistants, name badges, etc) without making it blatantly obvious that you're doing it. Having a mobile phone that records video is good because you can hold a phone more conspicuosly than you could a video camera (and it records what's being said to)

I haven't done a Starbucks yet but not sure I would like to - I'm not the greatest fan of coffee!

My mate's a mystery shopper and I often get to play along with her...we have a right laugh sometimes...but gee whizz it opens your eyes up to cack service in stores when your just out and about!

I have just collected my new glasses .... and its safe to say that i am A SEX GOD :w00t:

Yay - piccies pleeeese bons!!

great to be able to see too!

I did nearly write goddess ... but i couldnt remember how many 'd's were in the word :nerd:

DYJLIW...the "alleged" silver lining of every cloud metaphor comes true?? I sent in my CV the day after I was so horribly FIRED from my last job (CV sent in December 29, 2006) for a Directors position of a large, prominent daycare in town and was called Tuesday night to set up an interview for Thursday night. I was against 3 other ladies and one of them I knew (and was a little deflated when I knew I was up with her for the job). Well, I was the longest interviewed of the bunch and had a call less than 30 mins after leaving my interview to return today at 11.30am, where I met with the hiring commitee again to be told I had GLOWING references and...THE JOB!!:w00t: I will be over 15 workers and I will be making 10k (USD) more than I've ever made!!! Chuffed does not begin to cover it...I need a new word!!! (PATSY...give me a suitable word/new expression you people can relate to!):sun:

Chuffed does not begin to cover it...I need a new word!!! (PATSY...give me a suitable word/new expression you people can relate to!):sun:
Well done! :bye:

I think Chuffed is a good enough word MSg, other british phrases that might cover it are:

"rather nice"

"a pleasant surprise"

... and if you're feeling particularly effusive then a "super" would be permitted!

Yipppeeee MSGirl. Well done, congratulations, and give yourself a hearty slap on the back.

You go girl :laugh:

Oh God - she'll be spending the extra money on a flight to the UK for a meet:shock:

And barging in YOUR humble abode demanding YOUR unfledgling attention!! Get to washing them sheets girlfriend!!:yahoo:

hmmmmm, I might even go PURPLE...

Well done, Jennifer. I'm overjoyed for you. <---- suitably reserved British expression.

PS What is barging? Unfledgling attention? Are these two of your quaint little terms? Or just the rantings of some mad colonial?

barging: I will arrive at her house most assuredly unannounced and foist myself upon her, ahem, good and kindly nature as a host.

unfledgling attention: I will expect to be doted upon without any thoughts of her needs or wants. She will have to submit to making my life pure HEAVEN.

It's a Colonial thing I guess...:sun:

Anything else honeychile??:wink_kiss

MissG...I am totally stoked for ya...well done you! :applause:

Now...when are you going to book the flight?

as soon as Fee slips up and says she's been "washing her linens" or Pats has thrown some timbers up in a fashion resembling guest accomadations. then again, if floops gets "head hunted" and gets a top dollar job...I may find out where she resides. see where all this is leading?? I'm going to go right past booking a hotel and show up on someones' doorstep and see who's the most likely to take me in...then talk mercilessly about the others!!:angel_not just kidding...I've got to start my job (tomorrow) and get in there and see what's going on. I know I get sick days, personal days, a weeks vacation, and the daycare is shut down for a week in June (methinks) for VBS, so actually I have 2 weeks of vacation. I've got to get a passport sorted and etc., but I'd be afraid, very afraid...:laugh:

for myself I'm feeling ... overjoyed ... yes that's the right word, overjoyed! :good:

Right Dol...you take No Mans Land Fort and I'll man up Spitsand Fort...we'll guard the harbour...all you others it's up to you to mount your defences against alien invasion! :sly:

DYJLIW a customer buys you a red rose. OK he was 75 if he was a day but a girl's got to take what she can get!

Soz...can't say...it's a secret and only for really mad people...you simply do not qualify! :assshake:

It MUST have some Colonials on it Coaster...do tell!!

DYJLIW...your new job is just fab!!! I totally love it and I can't believe I've lucked out!! I do believe in karma, I do believe in karma, I do, I do!! Really, they evidently had Mata Hari as the last director and I have gotten SOOOO many compliments on the simplest of things...like telling them thank you when they go to leave and checking room to room several times a day to see if they need anything. The parents have even been in to tell me morale is up and they are so pleased to have me and to see a smiling, helpful face!:sun:

See, a Colonial with pizazz. And y'all are 'scairt' I'ma gunna come fer a visit!:w00t:

DYJLIW The jeans and top you bought before christmas now fit really well and you feel good in them AND you`ve just been invited out for drinks this afternoon :D

Were they a bit too big before Christmas then Seabreaze?:kid:

Oooh, I'm being headhunted :w00t:

Update: So, consider me scalped :w00t:

After I'd finished writing my job description, my new job was advertised on the school's website for approximately one and a half days, I was the only applicant, natch, got the job, got the payrise, all's good.

Except, my current Head is refusing to let me go, saying I've got to work 2 months notice not one - which is a pile of cack. My new Head is having none of it and some bigwig from the borough is trying and failing to negotiate a compromise.

The two of them were arch-rivals when they worked together and it's turned into a battle of wills between them. It's kind of flattering I suppose, but a total pain in the ****. So I'm now going to have to put my foot down and tell my current Head that I'm off at half term and she can poke it, which'll be lovely....:bored:

gosh! I can see a film script coming out of all that Floopy - who would you have play you? ... does Bella Emberg still have an equity card?! :pimp:

What is this new job, floops? Head Janitor?

she'd be a mean janitor wouldn't she - like the one in Scrubs (but without the sex appeal!) :ninja:

May have to go 'snow shopping'!!:good:

Well done Floops - i hope you can get out of your current contract OK.

Good going Bons!!:party2:

Yeah, I got all the bills paid bar the water which isn't due till next paycheck and all the vehicles gassed up, treated myself to 2 CD's:thumbsup: , and still have 'security money'!! It feels good to not have to worry, and when all of the extraneous things are done in...I will be on CLOUD 99!!

flops...do I need to take anyone on a "Deliverance" type expedition to get you out of that contract?? I know swamps and back bayous...:wink_kiss

We are getting our little MX5 on the road again today. Its our 'summer' car and last year we only taxed it for 6 months, and then put it in the shed over winter.

But its been such a mild winter we could really of used it.

So we have decided to tax it for the year this time, and if we do have a terrible cold snap we can always cash in the few months left on the disk. It will be nice to have the car for Easter Weekend, as its meant to be nice.

Snow on the way apparently......:ohmy:

Well sort of - Oph is trying to flog the convertable if anyone's interested! (Hard top type tho')



oh and I have a rag top Land Rover as well

My husband is desperate for one of those. Do you mean the old army type ones ? He is always hanging his nose over them - and one day i might treat him - but i think 3 cars in a 2 person family is more than ample.

It would probably cost less to buy than the cost of the petrol to get it to you.

Sometimes life can be so cruel :cry:

But I'm happy cos...

DYJLIW - you finally, after 7yrs of unfulfilled desire, get enough money together to be able to afford your dream MacBook...I am sooooo pleased with my new toy I can't stop playing...and it came with a free digital camera...:applause: Short movies and all that creative stuff...here I come...wooooooooooooo:applause:

what's a Macbook and what can it do, Coastie? I feel I can't join in your joy until I know what it is!

what's a Macbook and what can it do, Coastie? I feel I can't join in your joy until I know what it is!

A MacBook is basically a lap top designed by Apple mac and is much better when it comes to creative stuff (movies n stuff) than a PC based lap top which is better for all that serious business stuff. I am happy and would now hope that you can share my joy!

I feel a celebratory beer coming on! :w00t:

Is it wireless and all that clever stuff? do you get the internet on it?

It is wireless and has blue tooth n stuff...I just need to get a wireless modem thingie which I know nothing about and set it up properly! :nerd:

I still think a beer is justified however...afterall I have wanted this toy for 7yrs now! :bored:

Oooooh, look at you Coaster!! I'm green with envy!!:w00t:

you have a whole brand new forum all to yourself! :D

I wonder how long it will take me to get bored. Posted 31/10/2004

2 and a half years, it seems... :wink2:

No, no, no! Not at all!

I'm back now, but I have been communicating mostly by PM with my NBF Abigail! :ninja:

Have you given her your credit card details yet? :ninja:

No, I make it my policy not to get involved financially with my online friends! :wink2:

NBF ??

New
Boy
Friend
???

New Best Friend.....but dont worry slips, she's only the virtual kind......you haven't been replaced in my affections! :wub:

No, I make it my policy not to get involved financially with my online friends! :wink2:

So, how do you like to get involved with them?

With extreme caution.........until they announce that they are coming up to London for lunch!:assshake:

When you say "they", are you implying you prefer to meet in groups?

When you say "lunch", do you mean ............ lunch?

When I say "they", I'm implying: if the cap fits!

When I say lunch, I mean, erm.......lunch. :huh:

Would you mind if I infer something else? I don't get out much, you see.

Go for it......

She probably means 'dinner'. It's what they call 'lunch' where she comes from.http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/FenellaFinkelstein/smiley/glasses15.gif

in Mississippi speak you have breakfast, dinner, supper...snacks are optional:huh:

...I'd assumed they were mandatory :assshake:

Where I fled from, they do indeed say breakfast, dinner and tea. Supper is a milky drink and small snack.

People down south are so unforgiving and judgemental, I have had to learn to adapt.

:)

...I'd assumed they were mandatory :assshake:

Now, we Southern Colonials can cook up some good snacks!! Yum, yum!!

Try it for a while - you may think differently then:mad2:

what is it with teachers and this martyrdom attitiude? I hope you all go to heaven and meet some real martyrs 'cos no-one will listen to your bleating and moaning up there.

You'd swear you were victims of oppression, not supposedly intelligent people who made an informed career choice.

And why do you get paid in the summer?
