Resoundingly so! He labours under the misconception that the fact I don't like him much of the time has nothing to do with carrying out my wifely duties.

I did point out that I had cleaned the kitchen floor, but wasn't impressed.

Probably studying like a bitch for an oral exam on Monday :(

Well remember to brush your teeth :bag:

Well...I have contemplated going to London for the Baftas on Sunday but since my mate is away in the Yukon at the moment it just wont be the same without her so once again I shall leave that delight to others to enjoy and simply watch the highlights on which ever channel decides to show it this year...love the Baftas...far superior to the Oscars IMHO as they reflect real talent not just the politically correct talent...:bored:

Instead of this delight on Friday I'm out with a mate all day playing, Saturday morning I shall be helping to paint the church hall before returning home to watch the rugby...unless my freinds can guarantee their attendance at the pub this week. On Sunday it will church in the morning and then...welll...I may have mum round for Sunday lunch...and maybe a little more rugby. It's dads Birthday on Monday but since he didn't bother with mine at all I shall simply give him his card and be done with it.

I dont have any real plans this weekend. I feel 100% better now, so i think i will definately have one day or evening down the pub.

Other than that i plan a weekend of dog walking, drinking, eating and watching Ally McBeal.

I have a busy week lined up for me next week, so i need to rest before the storm.

I adore the Baftas and Stephen Fry is brilliant as the host. I love his wit and humour. I always tape them so I can watch the goods bits again (yes I am sad) :bag:

We're off out to celebrate mum's birthday on Saturday. My sister's new man is coming to meet the fam :nerd:

This weekend I shall be travelling to good old Milton Keynes to watch youngest buzzlet play his very first 'proper' football match. I shall the be travelling home and in the evening of Saturday I shall probably partake of several beer drinks.

What rugby will you be watching Coast?

This weekend me 'n urk will be mostly repairing the house which seems to be just falling apart at the seams for some reason. Floorboards warped, paper peeling, bathroom tiles cracked, cupboard doors un-hinged in the kitchen, blah blah fekking blah.

And even after all this work gets done, it won't look transformed or improved, just back to normal....:(


we've also been told that all the window's in the conservatory need to be replaced. Nothing wrong with them, but the surrounds have rotted. Kinda like saying 'your teeth are fine, but your gums will have to come out'...



Ah fekkit - we'll probably just go to the pub...........

Listen this is Floopy we are talking about...she's not above an insult or two

I might allow Gigi first blood on this one. Start her off on something soft ...:cool:

I'll be spending most of Saturday in the theatre - and most of Sunday sleeping!

And Monday is a holiday:)

Just learnt that there isn't any rugger this weekend darn it...I shall probably just be painting all day then! :wallbash:

Poor man!! floopy's got her claws sharpened to play with the new 'mouse'!! heeeheeeheeeee!!

I have laundry, mopping, vacuuming, you name it...all various sundry domestic things to do this weekend!! I feel LIKE doing them for the first time in a couple of weeks as well!! My dark cloud has moved on.
We are expecting snow, sleet, and ice tonight into Saturday and Sunday for our area: Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, N. Mississippi, and N. Alabama. Some freaky front is moving through bringing Artic air in...blah, blah, blah. I went to bed last night and it was 67F degrees!!
IF the weather misses us, Msboy #2 and I have a date to see 'Curious George'. I will give an impartial review if we get to go.:laugh:

I am gonna relax this weekend, as I do every weekend! :kid:

I thought I would be having a nice relaxing weekend but it hasn't worked out that way. Last night we went to visit a friend and got back about 11pm, shortly after we recieved a phone call from MIL's help line.

She had pressed the button and they kept calling out to her but getting no answer all they could hear was the tv in the background so they phoned us.
We got over there to find her on the floor as her leg had collapsed under her.

The help line people told us to make her comfortable but not to move her as we didn't know what damage she had done to herself, as she is a big woman moving her without her help wasn't an option for us anyway. We had to wait 2 hours for paramedics as there were lots of accidents last night, poor MIL was groaning as she was so uncomfortable and kept asking us to help her up.

When the paramedics came they used a special inflatable to lift her and checked her over got her into her chair and said phone the doctor in the morning to get her checked out. We stayed the night and I spent most of it sitting up with her. Mr M got a couple of hours sleep on the sofa unfortunately one not really designed for a comfortable kip.

At 7am she tried and failed to get to the loo so we tried calling the doctor. No chance on a saturday they said call an ambulance. By 10am second lot of paramedics decided she needed to go to hospital. By this time Mr M's brother and wife had turned up and came to the hospital with us. An x-ray showed that she had a small pelvic fracture so this meant she has to spend tonight in hospital. We finally got home around 6pm tonight so it will be and early night for me as its back to the hospital tomorrow.

We are trying to get her time in a care home to recover as she won't be able to be home alone but the hospital are debating whether to rubber stamp this. They have the attitude your mother your problem so I don't know how tomorrow is going to go. I wonder what they do if you just abandon them there only joking btw.

what an awful evening for you all Maz.

she is in the best place now.

you deserve a bit of R&R and G&T next weekend after this weekend's traumas!

Hence the need to find a care home tout suite Dol.

Oh Mazz, I've only just seen this and I'm not going to phone in case you are, indeed having an early night.

If you see this, let me and Mr C know if there's anything we can do. He's off tomorrow so if you just need company or anything, he will be here to keep an eye out for Tom (my weekend again).

If you need both of us for anything, just shout (Tom's Dad will have to have him).

I hope you can get some respite care for ma-in-law. You've done so much for her for so long and you need a break. :hug:

Maz, I hope y'all have some luck and some rest!! Hugs and all from here to you!!:wub:

Thanks Crit I will let you know later how we got on. Mr M's brother and his wife stayed over and will be here today to try and help get things sorted. I got to bed at around 9pm last night and slept well so ready for the aggro today as they may try to send her home.

You should try and get in touch with social services as they will give you advice and talk you through all the pros and cons.

They have now transferred her to Bognor Hospital for rehab. Its a good move for us as its much closer and on my way home from work. Their job is to get her up and walking again and ultimately to go home with a care package.

They did this the last time when she had a stroke and promised us all sorts of help that lasted only a month. I don't mind helping her although I resent the fact her daughter, who lives the same distance from her that I do, helps out very little and expects payment for whatever she does.

Isn't just revolting how 'family' lose their mind and forget all that the parents did for them!! Her daughter ought to be just shamed and flogged publicly for expecting pay!! My Granny is in a nursing home 3 hrs. drive from me and I make the trip at least each 4-6 weeks and call weekly and a cousin goes out there weekly. My Uncle, her only son, lives not 2 miles from the nursing home and they don't even know what he looks like!! How sad is that!!
Good luck and good vibes from me!! I'll be thinking about you and yours.

Her daughter is selfish cow her charges are mowing lawn £5, bit of washing no more than one machine load £10, aqick hoover round 3 downstairs rooms £10. When MIL was in a nursing home for a few weeks after her stroke she never visited her once as there was no money to be had.

Her and her husband don't work so have plenty of time on their hands and could help out far more. There are two other daughters one hasn't spoken to her mum in years and the other lives in Wales about 3 1/2 hours drive away, she hasn't visited since last May.

Her other son is 70 and visits at least once a month and he lives a fair distance away so the general care comes down to me and Mr M.

I hope when her daughters are old and infirm their kids don't give a toss about them.

I dont get this maz ... she actually tells the mother how much certain tasks cost and the mother pays her? I'm incredulous absolutely incredulous at the mercenary nature of this woman ... surely there must be more to it?! Does the mother pay her cos she knows she hasn't got a lot of money? Does the daughter not do anything she's not paid for? And who set the rates?

Of course none of the above are my business and I don't really wish you to divulge family affairs on line ... I'm just stunned that families treat each other like this without any reason.

If the mother puts the daughter in the Will she should deduct off whatever she's paid out so far!

They had always charged her for cutting the lawn as they had a little business doing it around where MIL lives so I can only assume they either said to mum what the cost would be for the other things or she paid it as they charge her for the lawn.

I collect her money and leave some in her purse and bank the rest. She keeps a certain ammount in their so I know what she has. When she came out of hospital before more money was going and as she was confused I assked her daughter if she knew where it was going. She said that mum had started giving her £20 a visit so she didn't query it. I argued that mum couldn't afford to pay all that so she agreed to go back to the £10 a time. At that time mum was only getting £120 a week from pension and attendance allowance.

With all her household bills to pay it would have been tight to manage. I have since claimed pension credit for her and she gets an extra £60 now but I haven't told her daughter that. She even phoned to tell me how much her rubber gloves cost. I wouldn't mind so much but she never does anything there that involves gloving up as she leaves the bathroom for me to clean.

What a horrendous weekend for you Maz, I hope MIL recovers well :hug:

Maz, like Dol, I'm completely astonished by the daughter expecting payment, I really can't get my head round it. I have no idea how people can treat their parents like that. :(

Your MiL is very, very lucky to have you. Hope it all gets a bit easier soon.

:hug:

Maz - i hope you Mother in Law gets better soon.


Yesterday for me was kind of mad. I got a few jobs done around the house - and then Mr.B asked if i fancied lunch down the pub. I did ... so off we went at midday only to find the kitchens werent open, so we didnt eat. So we stayed for a few drinks, and a few more .... and so it went on. Someone from the pub dropped us home at 10pm. We were both bladdered.

Neither of us had eaten all day, so i tried to make scrambled egg on toast - ate that, and then went to bed.

This morning i dont have a hangover, but i am tired. I also have a really bad knee. I think i was dancing like a loon for hours .... but i cant remember very well :nerd:

Maz - I can only reiterate what the others have said, your SIL wants a good kick up the ar$e for herself. Selfish cow. It amazes me that 'family' can treat each other like that..

Hope she gets well soon.

Thanks for good wishes it helps having a rant on here sometimes. MIL is quite comfortable in the local hospital and has managed a few steps. I hope they don't kick her out too soon as I am worried about her safety at home now.

Maz, it's porbably best to underplay how much you do help out to the people at the hospital. Best to let them think she's not got much support at all, so they'll have to send a district nurse or similar round every day at least.

Sorry Andrea :bag:

That is very true Floopy as thats what they did the last time, promised us all sorts of help and none materialised. The trouble is they ask mum and she tells them who does what for her.

I think we will have to get help privately as that is the way its done now the old style home help no longer exists where you used to pay a stamp each week. Now its about £13 an hour through an agency.

I will meet with a social worker and tell them that it is getting to much and see if they come up with any ideas.

Good plan. Or try your GP if you get no joy there. My mum's GP was fab after her stroke, she badgered all sorts of people for us. Good luck.

This weekend I will be mostly ... GETTING P!$$ED!!

:drinking: :drinking: :drinking: :drinking: :drinking:

This weekend I shall be visiting my elderly, infirm friend. She's having her boils lanced and wants me to be there. Bless. I may partake of a sherry or two whilst I'm there. Would be rude not to.

Patsy - She is lucky to have a friend like you to give up going to the meet to watch her having her boils lanced :ninja: I suppose if she is feeling up to it you could always bring her along to have a couple of sherries with us.

we haven't got room for any more pus filled old ladies ... one is enough, ils!

That's very kind of you, ils, but she lives out of the area. Also, the boils are on her face, so she is prone to scaring young children. Best I keep her tucked up at home.

You can't fool me......your'e coming to see cat aren't you:ninja: :cool1:

That's what I said, didn't I? Was I misleading in any way?

Well I did wonder at the sherry comment - I thought it was too refined for her

Remind me to tell you of the "cheese and sherry" afternoon. Oh, how we laughed.:sleepy:

Hey I'd do the same.
In fact I did.
I told FIL, after MIL was in hospital having had a second stroke, to tell them he needed help and couldn't manage.

She is now home and what have they got.......bugg£r all!!!!

When mum had her stroke last feb and she was still in hospital, me and my sis told her to tell anyone who'd listen that she needed help at home.

Well she must have done a bloody good job because we got hauled over the coals by two members of hospital staff about being bad daughters!!! :laugh:

Good actress my mom!! :wacko:

This weekend I'll be mostly wishing I was in London!

Awwwwwwwwwwwww - wishing you could be in London too, Rob!

DITTO ROB!!

First big meet we've missed for years. Very sad Te 'n Urk will be getting drunk and maudlin and upset and probably violent blaming each other and ryanair and mean bosses, and expect some crying at some stage........

oh lordy! I hope no-one at the meet has got your mobile number TE!!! I'm starting to dread the midnight drunken call already, cos by then you will have turned nasty and will be blaming everyone who made it to the meet!!!

I shall miss you both dreadfully. I shall also miss everyone else who wont be there .... but I'm still gonna get p!$$ed and have a bloody good laugh!! :laugh:

I'll be thinking of you in London when I am out lording it up in Edinburgh - in fact Edinburgh will probably be full of Londoners and the like as it is the Calcutta Cup at Murrayfield on Saturday!

I am meeting a friend I used to work with for a girly lunch in a fab new tapas restaurant. Not seen her for ages, so looking forward to catching up then enjoying the craic afterwards with the rugby lot! I am really looking forward to it..........and as much as I would love Scotland to win, we'll probably end up passing on our congratulations to the English...........they might buy us commiseration drinks though! :w00t:

This weekend I am off to visit my daughter in Cardiff (4 hour drive). Have not seen her since xmas and she is all excited because her and her boyfriend are in the middle of buying their first house and they have arranged to get the keys to show us round. They are finding out just how expensive everything is and for some reason it`s also costing us money - - not really sure how they worked that one us.
Hope you all have a wonderful time in London.

I'd love to be at that match, or at least be in Edinburgh for the craic afterwards. Maybe a meet could be arranged for the next Calcutta fixture, Bella? You may remember, I have rather a penchant for a rugby supporter or 12. :devil:

:mellow: not 12 like Bella and Coastie though, eh?! :laugh:

Patsy, that would be a fab idea - I would have quite liked to have gone to the match but at £60 a ticket it is a bit steep. Have to say though previous years before I had the kids when we used to go out for all the rugby international, it is a great craic! I do remember once when England were playing here (they just beat us on the last kick of the game) and we ended up in a crowd of a few Englishmen. Our crowd was mixed with male and females and as the night wore on, one of the Englishmen turned to us in a very loud voice "so any of you girls here shave your pussies"............it went strangely silent and I am sure even some bits of tumbleweed went past! :laugh:

:mellow: not 12 like Bella and Coastie though, eh?! :laugh:

Good grief, no, Charlie Brown. I was thinking more of the Bath supporters with whom we partook of a few sherries in Dublin. If I were a single woman, well.................. :naughty:

They were good sports that night alright... :cool2:

This weekend I will be mostly sulking I'm not in Londinium, getting sozzled and watching the rugabeeeeee. Oh, and we've been asked out to dindin in an indian tomorrow night [on urks bro - yippeee] so I'll be eating too.

followed by more sulking.

It could be worse, TE, you could be missing not seeing me too.

Better now?

marginably.





[not as good as scorage]

Well not this weekend, but tonight I'm off out to taste some "delicious desserts" yum yum!

[not as good as scorage]

I actually liked scorage.

I'm off to London for the weekend today :D

I don't have to go into work till 2:30 today and get off at 6:00. Hubby and the boys are going to a Monster Truck thing at the Arena and I believe I'm taking myself to the movies!! I haven't done it in a while and I surely don't want to go to Redneck Central over to the Monster Truck Show!! I hope to get a lot of my housework done today (even though I'm sitting on here in the wee hours of the morn) and then read and hang out Saturday and Sunday. We are supposed to get some more bad weather again this weekend but they are still not really sure. I need to start Spring Cleaning but I have an anxiety attack thinking about it!!:ninja: Plus, until the weather gets situated, I can't move the winter linens and clothes to storage. Crazy weather!!:mad2:

I might go and take the boys out for a drive round the coast tomorrow.

There has been a sperm whale beached further up the coast (it's dead) and they are hoping it will be washed out back to sea in the next few weeks.

I know it's sad that it's died, but I might go and take the boys to see it.
Is that a bit macabre of me?
My boys love all things animal and sea stuff, and I'd like to see it for myself, just to see how big they are.

Don't tell them it's dead Andrea...just give them a brief fact-filled lecture on sperm whales and high tail it before someone mentions it's in fact dead.:ninja:

I actually think it is a great idea Andrea, who knows when you will get the next opportunity to see a beached whale.

Well, the delicious desserts last night were scrumptious.

But as for the ladies circle being, as our motto says, "fun and friendship" (don't laugh, a bit corny I know), last night it was nearly fun and fisticuffs:shocking:
And all because of one woman who just seems to alienate everybody she comes across.
I'm sure she thinks its her mission in life to make everyone else's life a misery.

Don't you wonder why people like that even go out into public. There's a lady at the daycare and she's great with the kids, but she rubs the parents and the workers the wrong way and will just LOOK for an argument!! She has been ultra nice to me lately as I relieve her in the afternoons, but I just stand on eggshells waiting for her to go off.:angry:

Oooh, tell us more Andrea! :w00t:

I dont have any plans for this weekend - which is just the way i like it.

Saturday ill take the dog for a walk, and then i will veg about watching TV and generally being lazy (although i will have to clean the house and do some ironing at some stage).

Oh it's a long story, but suffice to say, there was some confusion over the age limit of being the chairman and this woman kept saying how everyone should have read the rule book.

Rule Book my ar$e, I just go for a night out and a laugh.

If you do go prepare for one of the worst smells you have ever encountered and if the carcass bursts then well...prepare to blow chunks :sick:

Environmental health should really ensure that the area is cordoned off as well...if they haven't don't get to close...nasty...eeew! :sick:

Dol...:glare: I shall say no more!

Well, I got a good little bit done up today before work but still have some to fininsh up on Saturday and THEN maybe I can loll around Sunday. Work was really not bad. It makes a difference when you haven't been up there ALL DAY!! We also got to play outside for about nearly 2 hours this pm as it was NICE! The menfolk went to the Monster Truck deal and had a blast. Hubby has been gearing up for his weekend shift. Msboy #1 has 'discovered' he likes one of our dearest friend's daughter. Hubby and Friend went to school together and when we moved up here in 1991 they started working at the same company together and reconnected and the kids have grown up together. It's kinda wierd but I don't think it will affect anything. I hope to read, read, read this weekend. After the domestic goddess stuff of course!!:w00t:

I am sitting here hoping that one of the kids will throw up or something, that way we won't have to go out tonight.:cry: I really can't be ar$ed to get washed and changed and go and be nice to people....

Having lost a lot of time last week with dodgy IT stuff, I am now frantically catching up :cry:

My VAT is due on Tuesday so I also have that to sort out.

Oh joy.

Oh, lighten up fish face. There are people starving in India, you know.

This weekend I shall be mostly doing what I like with my best girl baa maa saaaade.

no difference really...perhaps I shan't wash myself then, I shall go out stinking and sit with a face like a slapped ar$e all night..

Yes, that's the Buzz we all know and love. Miserable and minging. :thumbsup:

There will be people starving in Worthing if I don't get this work finished and invoiced by the end of the month.

Actually, that might not be a bad thing as this sofa is making my bum look big.

pile up that input tax Fee anything you have bought that is relative....put it down.

What! Only the stuff that is relative :unsure::wink2:

No, all of it. Put it all away. Put it away now and play with me. I'm a bit bored and Ben Cohen hasn't got his shirt ripped yet!

Bit bored are you Patsy.....:ranting:

Momentarily, but I've just averted a flood in the toilet, so that passed a few minutes.

Phew! Babysitting is not for me. :bag:

Ed and the two toddlerisers are asleep at last. The 5 year old is happily watching Herbie, so fingers crossed....

You were so made to be a mum Floops, you are doing a grand job! :w00t:

Did I mention that I was celebrating?!

You've missed out a few threads Bella :laugh:

Did I mention that I was celebrating?!

Just the once or twice, Bel :wink2:

Fee, please tell me you are excited as I am....or is it just me? What threads should I post in? Do you think the natives are peed off?

Just the once or twice, Bel :wink2:

Please don't deny me this teensy weensy celebration..................it doesn't happen that often!!! :w00t:

I STILL LOVE YOU ALL!!! :wub:

I'm very pleased for you, honestly .

What is the Calcutta cup, akshooally? :ninja:

hey floops, did you still get stuck with all of the neighborhood foundlings or did you weasel out of keeping ALL of those children plus your own?? Been wondering if you were mixing drinks or taking straight shots from the bottle!!:pimp:

There's two of mine and two of my friends. It actually wasn't that bad cos I appointed the 5 year old to be bouncer to the toddlers so I just sat back and told him what to do.

Kept em up half an hour past bedtime so they fell asleep before their heads hit the pillows.

I can do muvvvering, oh yes.:cool:

Well, you go girl!! I hear you sizzlin' all the way over here. Sometimes, depending on the kids, it is a lot easier to keep several at one time. When msboy #2's little hyper friend comes over, I'm a basket case b/c he can't blow through the house fast enough...leaving a heap in his wake. Now when they are at hyper little friends house, his mom can't brag enough about how well they play, etc. I just know I have a class at daycare of 8 psycho 3 yr. olds and one little 3 yr. old girl who makes the boys look like amatuers!!

I'm trying not to think about the future. I'll be back at work by then so it'll be Cocker's problem :devil:

are you talking in code or to the voices again?? did I miss something...I have been a little distraught of late and my old lady mind may have wondered.:blink:

I am babysitting my 2 1/2 month old grandson this weekend, his Mum and Dad have come up from London for the weekend.

I had fat Wooster at the Hydrotherapy Spa this morning for his weekly treat and we are going out searching for christening venues tomorrow [for my baby - I know he is not mine - but jeeeees I am so broody!!!]

What is the Calcutta cup, akshooally? :ninja:

It's a piece of silverware that Scotland don't often get the chance to hold but we have it of this occassion!! YEE-HAY!!

Oh, I see! That's nice. They don't get much.

Bella, do you know what a Holler Back Girl is? Cat wants to know.

are you talking in code or to the voices again?? did I miss something...I have been a little distraught of late and my old lady mind may have wondered.:blink:

I was thinking forward to the time when mine'll be 3. Of course the nuns at the convent will have beaten any insubordination out of them by then :ninja:

If only the State would allow us to beat our kids!! The schools have corporal punishment, but not the daycares. It's probably best...I don't look good in orange, as in women's prison orange.:laugh:

Oh gawd, I'm sensing the makings of a new thread.

Corporal Punishment - my personal memoirs and opinions on everything you never wanted to know :nerd:

Bella, do you know what a Holler Back Girl is? Cat wants to know.

What are you talking about?:ninja:

It's a simple question. What is a Holler Back Girl? Gwen Stefani said she ain't one, so we want to know why she is so vehement about it.

A "Hollaback Girl" is a debutante on the hierchy of high school caste systems. If you 'ain't no Hollaback Girl' you are tough and will take care of your business and don't traffic with the deb types at school. That's how it has been explained to me by several high school children I'm well aquainted with: msboy #1, and my nieces. Does that cover it??

So, in other words, you're a "street" type who doesn't like posh girls. Is that it?

What are you, msg?

Oh gawd, I'm sensing the makings of a new thread.

Corporal Punishment - my personal memoirs and opinions on everything you never wanted to know :nerd:

Oh I'm so sure you were having another one of your 'rambling moments' and not directing any 'thread making' hostility towards me...just so you know, I ain't no Hollaback Girl either!:boxing:

So, in other words, you're a "street" type who doesn't like posh girls. Is that it?

What are you, msg?

Yes, that would sum it up.
I'm a very smart, modern Southern woman who is very diplomatic but if you get on my bad side, I can hold my own, either verbally or in retaliation. It's up to how lucky my opponant might be feeling. I am a Taurus, that can involve some stubborness on the part of others to see my way. I think I'm a good egg and I could provide references if y'all need them. Unlike many peoples perceptions of Southern people, I am neither slow, a bigot, barefoot and pregnant, talk as crazy as Hollywood would have you believe, married to a family member, have no double names such as Peggy Sue or Bobby Jim, live in a mobile home with cars and appliances decorating my front yard, and the list could continue...

Well everyone elses weekends sound a lot more fun than mine. I didnt do anything yesterday. I took the dog for a long walk - and thats about it.

Todays good news is that .... after 4 months of trying Mr.B has FINALLY got my laptop up and running again - so i can talk to you and watch TV in the comfort of my own living room. Fantastic huh. It only cost us £100 to achieve this fantastic thing :huh:

Does that mean you'll be joining in chattage, Bons? Yippeeeeeee!

Does that mean you'll be joining in chattage, Bons? Yippeeeeeee!

Hey - you never know you're luck. We always had internet connection in the office upstairs, but its cold and lonely up there - so i never ventured. But now i can stay warm and cosy in front of the fire and bore the pants off you all :pimp:

Tonight i am alone as Mr.B is off to the pub. I have a bottle of Rose wine in the fridge, and a bag of pecan popcorn. So the big question is, will anyone be in the chat room :unsure:

As you say, Bonita, you never know. I might venture thence.

I'm on Cat's laptop as we speak. It's very snazzy, I must say. I'm sure Mr P would love me to have one, but sadly the coffers couldn't cope.
:sad:

Luckily i was given my laptop when i left my last job. I had used it for 2 years, and it was a little worn. The N is completely worn away (I dont know why as i didnt know 'N' was used more than other letters !!). So when i left they said i could take the laptop home ... which was kinda good of them.

The N is a common one to wear out, along with the R. I think it's the fact that you have to use your index finger to press it.

However, on my keyboard at home the E has disappeared.

This is interesting, isn't it? :bored:

I don't use my index finger for the R and the N... wait, which was is your index finger? :huh: :unsure:

It's the one you pick your nose with.

lol Oh right, well then I do use it

Tell me which fingers you use to type "lol" and I'll gladly chop them off for you.

It's the one you pick your nose with.

I use every finger and toe for that :huh:

Blimey, you're bendy!

Blimey, you're bendy!

So ive been told :pimp:

I use one! The one next to the thumb... on my right hand :)

lol lol lol :kid:

I've just come back from Lanzarote so will be washing the contents of 3 suitcases & sorting myself out for going back to work:sad:

Awww, can't someone else do it?

Well, im getting my pussy shaved on saturday. Bernie my persian cat is full of knots, and she wont let me get them off, so about twice a year she goes in for a tidy up.

As for the rest of the weekend - i dont have any plans, but im exhausted after a week without my colleague so i cant think of anything nicer than lounging around and perhaps having a swift drink in the pub.

got two good bands - one really good blues and one great rock band -playing just down the road this fri / sat which is great - no cover charge, taxis to get - nuttin'. excellent.

Sunday is mutt dragging day. If urk is capable. funny how when he's sick he makes a miraculous recovery on a friday lunchtime.......

Saturday I'm going to a fancy dress 18th birthday party - Sunday I'll be doing as little as possible!

Well, im getting my pussy shaved on saturday. Bernie my persian cat is full of knots,


So.....that's what you call it!! :w00t:

Friday night going to 30th birthday party, Saturday lazing around hopefully, Sunday my sister is coming for dinner.

I have nothing planned this weekend, except footie on Sunday if the weather is ok. So I think I will just catch up what the boys taped for me last weekend.

Today I am off for a pre-op assesment. Tomorrow it will be visiting father-in-law and Sunday we have no plans for. I really need to get a life.

Hope things go ok for you SB!

Tonight we are going with friends to a Moroccan restaurant complete with belly-dancers and you can join in if you want!! :cool:

Both girls have birthday parties tomorrow so we will be ferrying them around. Then we will settle down to watch Dancing on Ice Final!

I am getting my hair cut & coloured on Sunday, they have a special offer of 40% off!

Well it's my sisters 9th Birthday tomorrow and she's having her birthday party at one of those indoor play center things.

Should be loads of fun

I'm taxi-ing oldest son about this weekend to two parties and beavers.
And I should be preparing for my interview next week.
Oh and I should be finishing off my assignments as well.

Oh well at least son will get to where he wants to go.

beavers.


*snigger* *snigger*

Hey, you leave my beavers alone!

Hey, you leave my beavers alone!

oh stop it!

*snigger* *snigger*

Actually i had forgotten. Im off to a party this evening next door in the the club house. Its one of our neighbours birthdays, and we know him quite well so we should turn up.

I'm off to a "Phoney Beatles" concert at one of the local naval bases. i'm really not looking forward to it, I'm going with a crowd of geeks and me in all my glorious non-geekedness will stick out like a sore thumb :good:


still my son is coming with me :kid: and there may be some drunken desparate old sailors there toohttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_15_11.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYAXGB)http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_7_7.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYAXGB) , I'm partial to old seamen :w00t:

Dol, you crazy thing!!!
Hubby and I got a ton of stuff done around the house today as well as groceries bought and errands ran. He's back to work tomorrow and I have very little to accomplish further on the house, so I'll get to gad about with you all...and find out about Dol and her sailor boys!!

I'm not sure you wanna hear about Dol and the Sailors...at least not without sitting down first and consuming several large alcoholic beverages first...oh and ensure anyone else with a nervous disposition or is of an age less than 21 is out of the room first! :shocking: :eek: :shock:

LARF!! That bad?? Not our Dol!!:laugh:

Well, Msboy#1 is off to Nashville as a companion with his Aunt tomorrow through Tuesday evening to see some cousins...$10.00 says he is bored to death before then. Msboy #2 is off to a birthday party with the birthday boy and 2 other friends and the birthday boy's parents from 10:30 am until...I'll lose my mind without anyone bugging me (hubby's working!). Hope I don't get arrested with all my freedom. The boys are off all next week for Spring Break...I may be institutionalized by Friday next week!:wacko: :unsure:

I pulled a muscle handling chunky babies in the nusery today...I hope I can sleep it off, with a few muscle relaxers thrown in for good measure!:pimp:

This weekend we are starting to decorate the lounge.

I got home tonight and Mr.B had already pulled most of the furniture out. All we have left is the telly, sofa and coffee table. The room is echoing.

We already have the paint, and we are ordering these posh blinds that we have seen on the internet as the curtains we have are cat hair magnets. They should make the room look bigger too.

I would love to replace the carpet, but cant afford it right now.

We also need a new lounge door ... well 3 really so all the rooms downstairs have the same ones.

So thats my weekend. We might go to the pub on saturday evening as they have a film crew there and are doing a piece for Paul o'Gradys show about the Rendlesham UFO sightings. You might see me on the telly :pimp:

I'm going out on Friday - a birthday meal for a friend at a Greek restaurant - Saturday and Sunday will be spent packing - and making last minute preparations for going on holiday!!

Saturday morning I will be making butties, cooking sausages and sausage rolls, (cheated with the cakes, bought them ready made) for 11 children, then at 10.45 I will be at a play/ball place with said 11 children running riot.:wacko:

Youngest son is 5 tomorrow.

Saturday night I'm going to have a bottle of wine ready in the fridge to recover.:good:

This weekend I'm working on Saturday and that's about all that's planned.:sad:

Catching up on some much needed rest and hopefully finishing up on our Spring refurbishing. The trees and shrubs came in on Thursday and hubby and FIL got them planted. Can't wait till we have 'sproutage' (gotta love Pats for that word!)!!!! Anyway, I'll be popping in and out. Just found out that hubby's best freinds ex-wife died last night, they believe it to be an OD. They have 2 children, 13 and 15 together. Very sad.

Oh that's terrible, Jen. Those poor kids.

Yeah Pats, it's a sad thing that they've lost thier mother but she wasn't a prize. I know it's ugly to talk about the deceased but I've only been around her about 5-6 times and she was trash, just trash. I think one of the boys will be o.k., but the youngest was really a 'momma's boy' and his dad is really worried about him as he was already dealing with some issues at school.

We had the mayor visit our newly refurbished church yesterday afternoon to perform the official opening and cut the ribbon thingy...saddly since I have met so many mayors (due to my job) the hype was a little lost on me but the evening celebration was fantastic...all those of us who had been involved in the work were absolutely shattered though! :wacko:

It has been a trial of love and a real tested of patience...

The original builder fell seriously ill shortly after the entire roof had been removed...the replacement took time to get!

The plumbers went bust half way through their work and tried to get back equipment we had already paid for...

The carpets fitters didn't have the right trim for the job and so we have been left with a couple of untidy edges for now...

The chair makers at the factory went on strike so we had some 'fairy tale' like temporary replacements for the big day..they were glod backed with red seat cushions...very regal!

The woman who was in charge of our curtain order had an accident and was rushed to hospital leaving others who knew little of what we needed and as a result the pulmets were to short!

The people who laid the carpark are in a dispute with some other company and so have failed to finish our job!

It has been totally bonkers at times but we still managed to open the doors and celebrate the occasion yesterday! :w00t:

You might have been better off getting Multiplex to do the job :whistling:

You might have been better off getting Multiplex to do the job :whistling:

beleive me Rob I would have loved to have had a new cinema in my locality! :w00t:

Yes that was a joke...I have never heard of multiplex...the main problems was caused by the original builder falling ill as they were going to do everything!!

Multiplex = builders of the new Wembly Stadium

Multiplex = builders of the new Wembly Stadium

Ooo...well their a load of pants anyway...I know why contractors do it (money) but I really think it's about time the government brought in new laws similar to those in Germany that state that if you say a price for a job then you must do it for that job and if you fall behind it is on you back not the person paying for the job...none of this..'Oh we need more money to finish the task on time' which leads to more delays and then the 'Oo if you want us to finish the job at all, since we are already late, you will need to pay us more money!' :wacko:

I am obviously working today...boo!

Yesterday we went to the pub at 1pm for a couple of drinks ...... and staggered out at midnight. Mr.B was sober - i was completely ratted. I remember flirting with a friend who looked like David Essex - god he is sexy.

Im now getting texts from my mates asking me if i will be in the pub today :wacko: My liver cant cope !!

I had a very good weekend. Had my final year dinner. It was held at a place called Airth Castle which is very posh (and haunted).
The first night was a formal dance with a champagne reception, 3 course meal and speeches etc so I got all kilted up for that one.
Then the second night everyones partners came and we had a 1920s theme with a jazz band and casino tables etc.
It was an excellent weekend but I'm still recovering.
Photos coming soon.

This weekend, I am gonna be in.....EDINBURGH!
Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrray.
Havint a clue where we are staying (someone else is looking after all that)
Havint a clue about flights and things....early friday morning, that's all I know.
I am so excited....and I just CAN'T hide it!

This weekend has been good.

Yesterday Mr.B and i continued on our quest for the perfect lounge. I rubbed down paintwork as Mr.B filled holes (im sure i got the rough end of the deal :wink2: )

We went to the pub at midday - and got thrown at at 4pm !!!

We went to bed at 9:30 and had a shag :pimp:

This morning we had a friend over then went to the pub at midday. We got kicked out at 6pm and Mr.B is currently snoring on the floor.

What a life :kid:

Bonnie I am completely jealous - that sounds like a perfect weekend.

We spent most of yesterday bidding on chickens and ducks at our local mart [I got 18 various chickens, 3 ducks and two hilarious doves/pigoens - although the catalogue had them down as silver pheasants].

And today we pulled half on an enourmous greenhouse that has blighted our garden for nearly 4 years - the other half has to remain upright as it is presently being used for quad storage. We built an enourmous fire and burnt the offending greenhouse - I then made sushi, drank a bottle of wine and then made venison with other stuff, then pancakes with gooseberry curd and ice cream - now I am stuffed, drunk adn very jealous of your weekend!!:wacko:

I have a vague recollection of doing this once - is it that thing you did before you had children??

I think she's referring to rubbing down and filling holes, Cat.

They're really banging on with the home improvements aren't they?

Ah! yes that must it...I home improve. But I didn't before I had children:blink:

I'm still spring cleaning and refurbishing...it's gonna kill me!! But the EXCELLANT news is I got the computer moved to where I want it and will not 'bother' anyone when I'm catching up in the wee hours of the night!!

I dont know how this weekend will pan out - as Mr.B has the hangover from hell today, so i depends how he feels tomorrow.

Basically tomorrow i will be taking the mutt for a walk, and then we are (hopefully) meeting with friends at midday for a day down the pub. In the evening we shall stay indoors.

On Sunday we will be staying in and doing some more decorating. The lounge is almost done, but we have the skirting and ceiling to paint.

It is Katie's 8th birthday on Sunday and it is her birthday party tomorrow. She has 7 of her friends coming round and we are going to have a clay & jewellery making party! I really don't know what I am letting myself for and will probably be hitting the gin bottle by about 3.30pm! My 16 year neice is coming to help out, so it should be fun!

I still have the cake to make - A Malteser one - but I'll do that tomorrow as it is quite easy to make.

So we will have that tomorrow and Sunday we are going shopping for roller-blades and going to a wee fabby Italian restuarant for birthday dinner!

I can't believe she is going to be 8!! :shocking: :w00t:

Tomorrow we shall be emptying MIL's house as it is now up for sale. We have hired a van as most of it will go to the tip. Its sad having to go through all her stuff whilst she is still alive but needs must. I am not looking forward to it as Mr M's sister and family are coming over and I shall have trouble keeping my gob shut about her not visiting her mum.

As we have hired the van for the weekend we are taking the opportunity to get rid of a load of rubbish from our garden, so a busy weekend here.

Tomorrow I'm working and in the afternoon we're having a barbie, come rain, hail, wind or shine and I'm getting p!ssed. Cos I'm worth it.:drinking:

Have a wonderful weekend Bella, and Happy Birthday to Katie.:thumbsup:

Church Quiz Night tommorow ... I will be part of the team called 'The Cheering Trouts' as will Mama Coastie - yay! :w00t:

After last weekend's excesses I am hoping to have a nice, restful and lazy weekend!!

After last weekend's excesses I am hoping to have a nice, restful and lazy weekend!!

Thats what I thought Robster but my sister has decided to have a do for her birthday tomorrow - starting at 5pm - and family round on sunday. Up at 6am studying for me tomorrow to fit in my party party life style and be a qualified accountant. Life must be much easier if you don't drink, just think of all the time not having fun that you could be doing other things.

Mr. C is taking himself off to a model aeroplane show near Ascot tomorrow (he deserves a break :shocking: ) so I shall be sitting here, surrounded by dust and muck, no kitchen, half a new ceiling put up, no cooker, no food. Godammit, I think I'd better go out somewhere, anywhere, just to get away from it.

Ordered new kitchen today - delivery is 5 bloody weeks :(

Have a great weekend everyone. Hope you enjoy the parties, Bar-B-Qs, quiz night etc. :wave:

Happy Birthday to Katie:happybday

Sunday will be taking the boys to a St. George's Day parade at a village further down the coast, as son no. 1 is in the beavers and they are part of said parade.
He is also part of the flag holding trio, so camera at the ready:w00t:
Then apparently there will be a bouncy castle, fun things for them to do, so basically a whole day out.

Saturday is spent taking son no. 1 to church for practise for Sunday parade.

Mr. Breeze is working all weekend so I will be busy with housework and keeping washing and ironing up to date as then he is off for 10 days starting Monday so we hope to get away somewhere and also off to visit daughter the following weekend.

as leetle as possible!!:thumbsup:

Off to Pitlochry with a few friends - oficially to watch a drama festival - but I suspect there will be more drinking than watching!!

I shall be cleaning the boys out in the morning...having a shower and shave...then I shall be setting off on my grand adventure...first stop London then on Sunday at noon I fly out of Gatwick for New York...wooo wooo woooooooooooooo :yahoo:

Wow, is it Sunday you go.
That came round quick.
Have a fantastic journey Coastie, and I hope you can pop in here sometime during your travels just to let us know how your getting on.
:good:

She's swearing she's coming to see me!!:unsure: How does she act in public?? Will I have to concoct a story about her just getting out of the nutbin?? Please...help me!!:huh:

Lock the doors. Now.

Or move. It's for the best.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Bless her, she's so excited. She must get out more...:w00t: Hope she has a grand adventure and if she finds me, I'll give y'all ALL of the dirt!!:thumbsup:

I hope to have to rest of the MajorGeneral and meself's Spring Killing...oops, Spring Cleaning (Freudian slip there) finished, kaput, fin, THE END. I honestly can't take another weekend of it...:blink: :ranting:

My classroom is just about ready for pics...I got alot done yesterday b/c we had rain and I let the children play after a good 30 mins of dancing to "Born to Be Wild" (covered by INXS), we hit repeat until I couldn't stand it anymore. They slept like lambs!!:thumbsup:

I have one more day at work (aka on-line and gobbing off here) and then it's whoosh off up to London on Saturday...:w00t:

MissG...if it can be done it will be done but if it can't it's nothing personal! :good:

I'm off to stay with maxine fo rthe weekend, we're going to see One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and I'm looking forward to it very much! :applause:

Back home on Sunday and it's BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY! Yay! my favourite kind of Monday! :kid:

I have to prepare food for 165 people on saturday and 85 on sunday. Its our firms annual stocktake and it always messes up this bank holiday. We do get double time for both days and a day of in lieu but I would rather have the long weekend off. At least this year I won't have MR M moaning about it as now he works there too he has to do it as well.

Im looking forward to this weekend.

Tomorrow will be walking the mutt / gardening. Mr.B will be finishing off the lounge (painting the ceiling).

Sunday is pub day - and i will endeavor to spend the entire day drinking and being merry.

Monday will be mutt walking and probably vegging around watching movies and relaxing.

Im looking forward to this weekend as im truly hoping for some sun on my face.

Tonight we are having our fish supper (see what are you doing tonight thread) and watching the BB eviction :w00t:

Tomorrow we are in the pub for a couple of hours at lunchtime ..... and then hopefully we will be able to sit in the garden and have a BBQ.

Sunday i want to spend the whole day sunning myself (fingers crossed). I have tempted fate today by buying two glossy expensive magazines. I only buy them in the summer as i cant think of anything nicer than sitting in my sun chair with a gin and tonic and a good magazine :good:

Oh - and we will probably be having a BBQ sunday too. I have chinese ribs, and barbecue / chinese chicken thighs / drumsticks and sausages, burgers ..... oooooohhhh do you all want to come for a party :yahoo:

Mr. SB is working all weekend so I will just do some shopping and then hopefully will sit and read in the garden for an hour or so.

I'm off down to Christchurch to see my friend. I only see her every couple of years and she's having a Mexican party. I've bought maracas from e-bay and another friend (I have so many) is lending me her authentic Mexican hat - from Mexico. :w00t:

Yeehaaaaaaaaa!

Well, this morning i got up really early which is sooooo unlike me, so i feel tired.

But at 10am we went to collect our sporty car which is lovely. We got home about midday, collected the dog and went to the pub for lunch.

Tonight we are going to a 'ball' which is being held in the officers club next door. We paid £12 each for our tickets and there is a band plus a 3 course meal. It starts around 7:30pm.

Tomorrow i have no plans, which is good. If the weather is nice i will be vegging out in the garden with a good glossy magazine and a gin and tonic.

Sounds like a bargain of a ball there Bons. :good: Have a great time.

At the moment I am working. No, really. Tonight we are going to a friend's 40th birthday bash and I'm wearing my new clothes (including a skirt - gasp!) and am hopefully going to get drunk. :thumbsup:

I hope to pop in here from time to time and then READ, READ, READ whilst lolling around in my bed or couch. It's raining so I'm already in lazy mode...:shocking:

I was working today, learning and connecting people to their dialysis machines.
Just waiting for my nursing registration to come through then I can start needling people! Woooo!http://www.smilies.smileyville.net/smilies/98.gif

Tomorrow I'm taking the boys to a Dr Who conventionhttp://www.smilies.smileyville.net/smilies/899.gif

Unfortunately the current Dr won't be there:cry: but Sylvester McCoy will!:mellow:
Anyway, I'm sure we're going to have a fun day, and if the 100 daleks that are going to be there according to the local paper turn up and abduct me, you know where I've disappeared to!

I've taken a nap today...and I put on a bit of supper (w/hubby's help) and I'm still in my jammies, no shower...and I guess I'll get a bath and at least change jammies!!http://www.invision.smileyville.net/smilies/cha (79).gif

Tomorrow I'm taking the boys to a Dr Who convention

Unfortunately the current Dr won't be there but Sylvester McCoy will!


i've seen Sylvester McCoy's willie :blush: he was in a play I went to see about vascetomy! it was actually quite impressive, as he was twirling his flaccid penis i could still see it wasn't a bad size! :w00t:

Hope that doesn't un-nerve you too much Andrea!!! :w00t:

My son is going to a Dr Who fancy dress party today ... what a bore and a chore these fancy dress parties are aren't they! every year this kid has a fancy dress theme ... I not only HATE fancy dress parties I also hate making fancy dress costumes! bah!

This weekend we are hosting a family BBQ. I dont know exact figures, but i think there will be about 15 people there. So Saturday will be kinda hectic - but it should be enjoyable as i get on with all of Mr.B's family. None of my family are attending. Im only doing burgers / hotdogs with onions and cheese slices. And i have bought some ice cream, cornets and flake sticks so the kids can enjoy those.

Sunday will be a day of relaxing and drinking all the left over booze, then

NEXT WEEK IM ON HOLIDAY:w00t:

We arent doing anything special, but i severely need time away from the office. I have only had 2 days holiday this year, and i feel the need for a relaxing break.

I am hoping to cram in a lot of sunbathing, a lot of drinking and perhaps a few day trips. We live in a beautiful part of the country ... and yet most of it has gone unexplored. So i think we will do a Thelma and Louise (Mr.B can be Thelma) in our new car and do a bit of sight seeing.

I'll be watching the footie tomorrow...working nights...sleeping Sunday...working nights...:shocking:

We have a FREE music festival in our town this weekend, so I'll probably pop down there and have a few beers!

:beer: :beer: :cool2:


Boney M are appearing ... oh yes we get all the big names down here! "crazy like a fool, what about it daddy cool" ... surely seeing that black man with his afro and his skinny legs cavorting and spinning on stage is something that has stuck in eveyone's mind who was alive and kicking in the 1970s!


Actually it should be a good laugh! :w00t:

I thought he was sacked from Boney M, so will he be appearing ?

Have fun :good:

oooh sounds mega bons - have a smasher of a time!

We were supposed to go camping at mid-day, but it's pretty grim weatherwise although not bucketing it down, and it's hard to get enthused about disposable BBQ's and inflateable mattresses when it's drizzling. :sad:

So the alternative is stay at home, work on the house / garden during the day, and live bands and beer at night....

Lol. I just vaguely remember hearing that he mimed to all the songs, and the solos he did wasnt really him. This got out, and he was sacked.

Didnt the same thing happen to Milli Vanilli ....... but then i only liked their videos because they wore tight lycra hot pants :blush:

That sounds fab to me ... the trouble is, i have never erected alone before. Thats the reason i always take Mr.B camping. He comes in handy.

:unsure: I think you're getting confused Coastie....

I'm getting my couples muddled again...I am sorry for any embarassment caused...I'll go and sit alone in the corner for a while and think about what I have done... :bag:

Weekend off this week:yahoo:

Off to the beach tomorrow. Eldest son is having his beavers meet down there and they are having a sandcastle competition. Me and my mate and the kids are going to stay and have a picnic.
Will be back for 4pm though!

Then Sunday a day of rest, me thinks.

I am making my 1st public appearance (since coming home to Leamington) tonight - Im off to a wedding and Im really looking forward to it :yahoo:

Just gutted I cant drink so will be taking my little box of "herbs" with me :pimp:

Reading, getting on here a bit...I'm not going to much. My house husband has got things in order!!:yahoo: :thumbsup:

I myself am off to my friend's house to have a BBQ a few beers and watch her daughter off to the prom ... I'm just off now ... and am quite ****ed! watch this space for som drunken "chat" later!

Eldest son is having his beavers meet down there.

Oooohhh, how rude :ninja:

My family BBQ went without a hitch. The only downside was that Mr.B's brother bought his kids ...... and they are devils children. They even look evil. I wonder if they have 666 somewhere on their bodies.

Now i know i haven't got kids, but these two need some discipline NOW before they end up in later years in prison. They are rude, unruly, spiteful and they KICKED MY DOG :evilmad:

Their parents believe in being liberal, which is cool if the kids listen and respect them, but they dont. At one point when asked if they would stop scoffing all the nibbles by their mum and they ignored her and grabbed more, she then changed tack and instead asked if they would hand them around. The older one who is 12 turned around and said "No, I dont want to". And she just said "OK". The venom which the kid said NO was unreal.

Mr.B lost it at one point (after the dog kicking incident when the parents said nothing) and basically told them it was his house, with his rules and if they went anywhere near the dog again they would be shut inside the house and wouldnt be allowed to join in the party. I silently applauded him.

Other than the kids the party was great. Everyone drank, ate, laughed and were merry and i thoroughly enjoyed it.:w00t:

Nice one, Mr B. Is Bailey ok?

i would have kicked them back Bons! I hope poor old Bailey has recovered now. They are lucky he is such a good natured dog.

Well I never got to see Boney M, due to my son sauntering in at 6pm after being out all day and then he fell asleep on the settee only waking up to be sick and say he had a headache. Instead I have spent part of the evening scrubbing the kitchen floor ... cinderella didn't go to the ball after all!

Bloody kids ... you are wise not to have any Bons!

Awwww Dol, im sorry you didnt get to go to the concert ..... what a bummer.


As for Bailey - thanks for asking, he is fine. He was kicked blummin hard and right under his tail where his balls are .... but he is such a super star he didnt retaliate or growl or anything. He just slunk into the kitchen with his tail between his legs like he had been told off.

Of course i went in and cuddled him .... and fed him a sausage and burger which cheered him up no end. He is a fantastic doggy - and i LOVE HIM :wub:

Why do kids go from being really cute and cuddly to horrible little so and sos in the blink of an eye?

I'm back off to bed this hangover is killin me.

Why do kids go from being really cute and cuddly :mellow: er no..not seeing it...the come out doing nothing but screaming, pooing, puking and sleeping in my experience...hence I no want any!to horrible little so and sos in the blink of an eye? I definately blame the parents!

I'm back off to bed this hangover is killin me.

have a good rest and post again soon! :bye:

Dol...oooo you were meant to give me the low down on the concert since I couldn't play myself...tsk, tsk...:angry:

Bon...Your restraint has suitably impressed me here...I would have poisoned the little blighters burgers...well at least spat on them!

Rory is 1 tomorrow, so we're having a little Russell Harty for him :wub:

This is Rory looking slightly non-plussed at all the fuss:

That fence needs a good coat of creosote.

Sat on his bum. Full nappy. Puzzled expression. Yep, that's Groucho's boy. ;)

Exceptionally cute, all the same. He looks very blonde in this pic Grouch.
