Really cute :thumbsup:
Funnily enough, I was listening to iTunes and while reading here and "Monster" came on. Just as I was scrolling through the picture of your kid, the lyrics "Whats that coming over the hill, is it a Monster" played.
Doubly cute! :D
mazwad 06-07-2006, 09:53 PM What is scarey is how quickly that year has passed. Nice looking boy Groucho who does he take after?
He looks very steady on his feet has he been walking long?

Bonsai 23-07-2006, 07:33 PM I havent done very much this weekend.
Yesterday was the Butley Flower Show which is like something out of Heartbeat. Its so 60s its wonderful. So i went to that. We then popped into the pub for a quickie ... and ended up staying there for 8 hrs :bored: So that was yesterday done.
Today we went to Halfords as we needed a CD player for the new car. I got a lovely Pioneer one, which was too expensive but hey. We then popped into the pub for an hour and drove home. But we had a shock when we got home ..... Billy the tortoise had gone :cry: He has the run of our patio, and its 'Billy Proof' or so we thought !! We got a bit panicky.
Anyway - i turned to the dog and said "where is Billy, you were supposed to look after him" and he ran into the garden under a bush. I followed him .... and there was Billy :applause: I tell you, how clever is the dog. I keep telling Mr.B he understands every word i say :laugh:
Mr.B then fitted the new CD player, had dinner - and now he has gone to the pub to play cards. Im about to have a bath and wash my hair .... and then watch Love Island.
Groucho 23-07-2006, 08:51 PM Romantic weekend in the New Forest.
More or less a complete disaster.
Dolores 23-07-2006, 08:56 PM Romantic weekend in the New Forest.

Aondeag 26-07-2006, 12:49 PM Hey...don't bother visiting the UK...come over HERE and have a WHALE of a time! (heehee...Aondeag steals all the potential tourist trade)

Andrea 28-07-2006, 10:36 PM We can do the Ring of Kerry
Whose Kerry then!!!!:w00t:
Bonsai 29-07-2006, 11:29 AM I havent got many plans this weekend.
Last night we went to the club last night, but the heat was awful. They arent allowed to have any doors / windows open incase it disturbs the neighbours - and the heat was unbearable. After one drink i went dizzy, had to come home and promptly threw up :sick:
So this morning i have a sore throat !! We are about to nip to the pub though for a couple of pints - and then this evening we are going to see Mr.B's sister who is staying at a camp site about 30 mins drive from us. We will get there about 8pm and will probably stay till midnight before coming home. Hopefully the stars will be out.
Tomorrow i have a stack of ironing to do, a joint of pork to roast and not a lot else.
Coastie 31-07-2006, 07:29 AM I had a wonderful time on Saturday morning dressed up as Tigger...however, it was bit disconcerting when Dol popped up in front of me an said 'Hello Coastie' :blush: I had a full outfit on, head and everything! The kids loved it....
I was Darf Maul in the afternoon and I scared all the little kids! :devil:
Fee For All 28-08-2006, 11:14 PM I'm going to Paris for le weekend.
Am a nano-signature away from my biggest ever contract (and it's really big) and they're flying me out to Paris on Friday to meet the European President. So Mr F is driving north to meet me.
Fab, except I can't concentrate on anything at the moment, am trying not to mentally spend the money before it's secure :ninja:, and have to work out how to dump the crook I'm doing some work for currently without giving him the excuse to not pay me.
Aaaaaaaaaargh!
Critique 28-08-2006, 11:38 PM How exciting fi-fi. I'm very jealous of your jet-setting, powerful business woman image. I guess I'll just be sitting here stroking an imaginary dog, reading and .. erm.. what was the other thing that "brain" quiz said I like to do?
Fee For All 28-08-2006, 11:43 PM I'm very jealous of your jet-setting, powerful business woman image.
*snork* In the meantime, I'm trying to work out how to pay my VAT this week.
And tomorrow I'm in East 'am.:w00t:

how exciting.
i hope it all goes well. I'm sure you've got it in the bag at this stage - just make sure there are no embarrassing gaffs at the weekend - pack clean knickers just in case! :laugh:

Good luck fee. IF he looks at your knickers - it's a done deal!!:cool:
Bella 29-08-2006, 10:13 AM Good luck fee. IF he looks at your knickers - it's a done deal!!:cool:
LOL! Have fun Fee and knock 'em dead!
I was supposed to be going to the Robbie Williams concert, booked tickets for Friday night concert but the tickets have arrived and they are for Saturday, so will hopefully find out later today if they can be exchanged. If not, then I won't be there! :cry:
Bella 29-08-2006, 05:49 PM WOO-WOO - We are off to see Robbie on Friday at Hampden! We have got fab seats too, so it was worth it to get them exchanged!
Saturday - will probably have a very sore throat! :w00t:
floopy 29-08-2006, 05:56 PM Sounds fab Bell. I've got nothing planned, just working on whatever I've got to get finished before the start of term.
I'm hoping there's not another blummin barbeque on the horizon though.
Fee For All 29-08-2006, 09:54 PM Thanks everyone :wink_kiss
Today, just in contrast, I was mostly writing CLEARANCE SALE - EVERYTHING MUST GO!, mirror style, on shop windows in the East End. With Windolene and a sponge. I soooo wanted to lob in a stray apostrophe.
msgirl 30-08-2006, 04:57 AM Good luck Feefer!! Le Bon Temps!!
I will be finishing up on and tweaking my lesson plans and probably still trimming lamination coated things for my classroom. It's a 3 day weekend, so I hope to lounge, read, call friends and 'select' family!! We've finally started getting some rain and things are cooling a tad bit...the heat doesn't suck all of the air from your lungs upon going outside from A/C cooled house/work/grocery store/suv!! Hopefully it will be a nice, laid back kinda weekend...I may even get to talk to some of you yahoos on here...'xcept Fee.
WOO-WOO - We are off to see Robbie on Friday at Hampden! We have got fab seats too, so it was worth it to get them exchanged!
Saturday - will probably have a very sore throat! :w00t:
Good stuff Bella...I have inner circle tickets for Milton Keynes on the 15th, so will also have a very sore throat the next day!!:w00t:
Bella 30-08-2006, 11:51 AM Good stuff Bella...I have inner circle tickets for Milton Keynes on the 15th, so will also have a very sore throat the next day!!:w00t:
I have been on tenderhooks since Thursday after finding out that we had the wrong tickets. Thing is it was my friend's dad who got them for us through his debenture allocation and he was feeling really awful about it.
So I have had my Robbie CD's on today and can't wait to see him live but equally looking forward to seeing Orson and Basement Jaxx (who are supposed to be amazing!)
Andrea 30-08-2006, 09:05 PM Ooh Orson, I'd love to go and see them! Never mind Robbie:ninja:
Hope you have a great time.
And Fee. hope all goes well with the Paris trip. Well done you.
Bring us back some pouches of baccy will you!:pimp:
Fee For All 30-08-2006, 09:24 PM Well, it's been postponed to Tuesday. Oh the annnntissssipation!
But just as well, because this afternoon, I had a bit of a run-in with the remains of a burger on the floor at London Bridge station. Torn ligaments and left foot like a balloon, so no tripping the light fandango for me for a couple of days.
On the upside though - I got treated to a high speed dash through the rush hour traffic in on of those yellow flashy ambulance cars. It was fab :w00t:
Andrea 30-08-2006, 09:41 PM What like this..
http://www.westonac.co.uk/images/Torn%20Anterior%20Talbofibular%20Ligament%2017.05. 05e.JPG
hehe.:ninja:
Seriously though, hope your feeling better soon Fee.:wink_kiss
msgirl 31-08-2006, 01:51 AM Poor Fee!! Are you traumatised over burgers now??:ninja:
Fee For All 31-08-2006, 11:14 AM Not far off Andrea, but my legs aren't so well shaved :laugh:
Bonsai 29-09-2006, 12:30 PM I havent really got major plans for the weekend.
Mr.B said we should nip to Snape for a look around (link if you are bored) http://www.snapemaltings.co.uk/ and perhaps pick up a few stocking filler. I know im early, but i try to spread the cost over a few months.
Saturday evening we are bound to go to the Swan for a meal and to meet some friends are a drink.
Sunday i really want to wash the car .... but i think rain is forecast (crosses fingers that it will rain as it will be my get out clause).
Patsy 29-09-2006, 06:22 PM I'm off to the pub in a mo, stomach lined only with a piece of toast and blueberry jam.
Should be interesting. :bye:
Sammboelyn 30-09-2006, 02:07 PM Well I was trying to sleep, but no sooner had I got comfy than the lovely sound of Bagpipes shattered my plans... I live round a square and there is often something going on on it, today appears to be the festival of not letting me sleep :D
It's been beautiful up here - so I've spent mort of the day sittng in the garden. Just come in and bottled some of the wine we bought in France this summer - will probably do some more later! Then we might drink some of it!!
msgirl 02-10-2006, 03:50 AM Have been making a mad dash to 'catch up' e-mails, copies of stuff I need for curriculum off Google, and catch up here before the computer decides to lose it's mind again...Hope y'all have a LOVELY MONDAY...in just a few hours!! I should be sleeping like I log...I HOPE!!:laugh:
Bonsai 13-10-2006, 10:14 AM Nothing much, but im looking forward to doing nothing much.
I have to wash the car, and it could really do with hoovering out.
I also have a tonne of washing / ironing to conquer.
Saturday evening im torn. We have been going to a local pub for dinner and then our friends turn up at about 9pm and we have a good laugh. I enjoy it. But this Saturday we have been invited to a party being held in the club next door to our house. We really should attend, but i have a feeling it will be boring. We dont know as many people there, and although they have hired a band, i dont think they will be playing my kinda music. I would rather go to the pub, but i know i will go to the club.
Other than Saturday evening i have no plans. Im sure the dogs will be walking their little legs off though.
maxine 13-10-2006, 10:32 AM Nice to have a a choice though Bonnie. My choice is X Factor or Strictly Come Dancing...
mazwad 13-10-2006, 04:14 PM Packing:yahoo: Looking forward to lots of :sun: :wine: and:bangin:
Dolores 13-10-2006, 04:37 PM Packing:yahoo: Looking forward to lots of :sun: :wine: and:bangin:
have I missed something? where are you off to Maz? away in your camper van again?
My brother and family are visiting my mum and dad this weekend (they live round the corner from me) so I will be spending a lot of time round there - but at least I wont have to do any cooking! :yahoo:
tonight me and my son are off for a bit of late evening fishing - we are really getting into it now - and hope to catch a bit of cod to have with our chips!!
mazwad 13-10-2006, 05:08 PM I am off to Gran Canaria for a week, going on Monday morning and can't wait.
I hate the flight but its a means to an end so I put up with it.
We are going to be staying at the Gloria Palace Amadores, my son stayed there in July and said it was lovely. It has a huge spa centre with lots of treatments so I may indulge in a few. Its my birthday whilst I am out there, the first one I will have spent without seeing my boys so that will feel odd but I'm sure I will get over it sitting in the sun with my sangria.
I am very jealous Maz. HAve a fantastic time, relax and enjoy, and make the most of having your birthday on holiday...
msgirl 14-10-2006, 02:34 AM Have a great time Maz...:applause:
I shall be getting my winter clothes down from the attic and washing them since we've had this cold snap.
I'll have to grocery shop tomorrow...:ranting: People standing around shooting the breeze like they aren't in the store FOR A REASON!!!
Maybe read some...work on both boys, as well as my scrapbooks.
Go do a little filing and straightening up at the Daycare in my work area. Get ALL of my copies ready for next week...:nerd:
Check in on here...
Coastie 14-10-2006, 05:25 AM I'll be sleeping today then tomorrow it's finish work at 0800 home, shower off to church then back to Mama Coasties for lunch:applause: ...I think she may be doing one her amazing roast dinners...if not it was a waste of a blatant hint over the phone the other day!:wink2:
Patsy 14-10-2006, 08:24 AM Have a lovely holiday Mazza.
Today I would be cleaning the house, but almost certainly won't. I should have been visiting my elderly infirm friend, but she's feeling particularly frail at the mo. So I shall go and order a kitchen instead. As you do.
Tomorrow our boys are probably going to get their butts kicked on the rugby field and I shall be there to shout lots of very helpful things from the touchline.
msgirl 14-10-2006, 01:30 PM It's not 'helpful' SWEAR WORDS is it Pats??:ninja:
Coastie 14-10-2006, 07:03 PM I will not be going to Mama Coasties for Sunday Lunch afterall as she forgot she had a prior commitment:mad2:
mazwad 14-10-2006, 09:58 PM Today I got a phone call from my niece to tell me my brother Dave had a heart attack and died about 2pm. Crit was at my house and we have spent a very sad afternoon informing my brothers and sister.
Dave is the brother who lives in Wales that Crit and Mr C visit often and go on holiday with.
I still can't believe it even as I write he was only 65 and had not suffered with heart problems.
Andrea 14-10-2006, 10:00 PM Aww maz, big hugs to you and your family.:hug:
mazwad 14-10-2006, 11:13 PM Thanks Andrea it was a bit of a shock to say the least. I phoned my sil but its difficult to know what to say.
Mr M still wants us to go away but I was torn not knowing what to do as I felt I should go to her. Over the last few years she has been closer to Crit and she will go to her as soon as she wants someone with her but at the moment she just wants to be with her daughter.
I felt awful this morning and I said to Crit I had this feeling of impending doom which sounded daft at the time as I should have been looking forward to my holiday. We are going to go as there has to be a post mortem so the funeral will be after we get back and sil says that is when she will need us all.
Coastie 15-10-2006, 03:02 AM Sorry to hear your news Maz :hug: I'm sure your brother would have wanted you to go and enjoy your holiday and I pray all the necessary goes smoothly.
msgirl 15-10-2006, 05:14 AM Deepest sorrows Maz...I agree with Coastie, take your trip as it will help you be a tad rested and ready for all the rellies and things that will be involved when you come back. And if it's not going to be anything you can really do till then, that's another reason to continue on with your plans. Use the time to reflect on your brother and happier times. Again, deepest sorrows...love Jen
Andrea 15-10-2006, 01:58 PM Well all today, I've been sat at the computer, partaking in my new hobby.
Which is.....................
Comping!
What! I hear you say.
Well, with the few wins I've had in the past, the other day I started googling and came across a whole load of websites, dedicated to entering competitions.
So of course, I now have my Thesaurus and my newly bought rhyming dictionary by my side, and I've been making up loads of tie-breaker entries.
Saddo! I hear you say!
Well just wait and see when I come back and tell you all the riches I have won!:w00t:
msgirl 15-10-2006, 06:26 PM Andrea...you are an utter HOOT!!:laugh: Love ya xxoo msgirl, your love child
Andrea 16-10-2006, 09:43 PM this weekend I shall be relaxing as it is the start of a week's worth of holiday from work.
Kids are on half term so not that peaceful:w00t: but it will be nice to have a week at home with the kids and hubby.
Oh my, does that mean we have to play happy families:shock:
This weekend I am going to a wedding - my sister's!! Can hardly believe it's here already. I expect a lot of tears from my parents. I may even feel a bit emotional myself to tell you the truth but of course I won't show this to anyone. Cannae believe my big sis is getting married! Aarggh!
I am an usher at it and also saying a few 'Prayers for the Faithful'.
But it's the reception I am most looking forward to - oh yes! :drinking:
Dolores 16-10-2006, 09:54 PM hope the wedding goes well PJ and the weather stays fine.
will Miss PJ be first in line for the bouquet?! :naughty:
will Miss PJ be first in line for the bouquet?! :naughty:
No, she will be getting bound and gagged when the bouquet gets thrown!
Dolores 16-10-2006, 09:58 PM No, she will be getting bound and gagged when the bouquet gets thrown!
good grief!!!! :shutup: :w00t: you're an animal PJ! :shocking: :w00t:
msgirl 17-10-2006, 02:11 AM PJ, I predict it will land swiftly and perfectly into her outstretched hand like a baseball into Cal Ripkin's glove...:sun:
If not, I hope she bitch slaps someone for it!!!:w00t:
Tigereye 18-10-2006, 12:31 PM enjoy PJ!!
I'm doing a gig this weekend with the bro's band, and where does he fek off to instead of rehearsing - Las Vegas! The git.
now I won't sleep for the rest of the week worrying about arrangements, not knowing the new songs,forgetting lyrics, and being naked on stage. [hmm, think that last one was a nightmare]..
fek him anyway...
msgirl 18-10-2006, 01:03 PM I hope to be reading, writing, and just generally lolling around the house...but hubby's been feeling poorly and hasn't done a whole lot to the house, soooooo, I reckon I'll be catching up his backslide. Last weekend the boys were gone from 3.00pm Sat to 8.00pm Sun at B-I-L and S-I-L's but msboy #2 may not go back. They said something to him that has kinda made me :ranting: and msboy #1 (the know all, end all expert of 17 years), said he agreed with them. So, hopefully I'll have my baby home as well...plus, he's good for some chores!! I LOVE child labor!:applause:
Dolores 18-10-2006, 05:57 PM oooh - what did they say Msg?
msgirl 19-10-2006, 02:41 AM well Dol, B-I-L is a preacher and msboy #2 said/says 'dang' & 'shoot' sometimes and S-I-L (hubby's sis) said "...I know your parents don't care how you talk, but over here you will not say those words and you NEED to go home and tell your Mom and Dad that they shouldn't allow you to say them b/c they are just as wrong as YOU are!" Welllllll, I DON'T let him say 'shut-up', 'stupid', 'idiot', and some other words I really don't like...but 'dang' and 'shoot' are really quite harmless and more preferable to 'damn' and 'shi t'!! I appreciate that he needs to follow their 'rules' at their house, but the additional slander was unnecessary for an 8 year old to have repeat to his parents and I really am not fond of her attempts at 'redeeming' my husband and myself, besides, when she has children...well, you know what they say about preacher's kids:laugh:
well, you know what they say about preacher's kids
They're the only ones who can ever reach you?:bag:
Dolores 19-10-2006, 05:41 PM hot diggitity, msg.
She would not like to spend too much time with me!
Don't people like that just make you want to swear and blaspheme more?! ... or is that just me :ninja:
Patsy 20-10-2006, 10:01 AM They're the only ones who can ever reach you?:bag:
Well I laughed.
I'm working tomorrow, but then I'm off the whole of next week. Yeeeehaaaah!!!! Trouble is, so are the kids. :bored:
Andrea 21-10-2006, 09:49 PM Yay, me too.
Off the weekend and the whole of the week!
Wooooo!
Fee For All 21-10-2006, 10:02 PM I'm packing bits and pieces (and probably forgetting the vital stuff) as I'm living away Mon - Fri for a while.

Don't people like that just make you want to swear and blaspheme more?! ... or is that just me :ninja:
I'm on her list to convert...or die trying. And yes, I wanted to throw a "Bitch Fit" over the ordeal, but hubby said it wasn't worth it. We'll just find alternative things for msboy #2 to do around here and be with us. And he's started basketball, had a practice Saturday afternoon, then got invited to a demolition derby/fair thingie by the neighbors. He had plenty of fun around the homestead this weekend and didn't have to get offended. Msboy #1 likes hanging out with them and his Mamaw (hubby's Mother), b/c he get's all the attention and the grass is greener, all that jazz...I'm still a little flusterated he didn't take up for his little brother, but that's ok, msboy #2 is a tough little stinker!!:devil:
Bonsai 03-11-2006, 03:40 PM Tomorrow i plan to do very little. Then in the evening i will be off out for a meal / drinkies (and perhaps I will wear my slutty outfit)
Then on sunday i will doss, drink too much and watch many films.
Arhhhh, bliss.
Bella 03-11-2006, 03:44 PM Sounds like a fab weekend Bons - have fun in your slutty outfit!
Tonight I am going over the bridge to Fife as I have a jewellery party to host in Glenrothes. Tomorrow I have to be up early as I have a craft fair to attend, it's on form 10.30-4.30. I'll be home in time to watch X-Factor and then it's Mr B's birthday on Sunday, so we'll go out for a meal.
Bon - sonds like a great time...I could do with a bit of that. Hope the outfit isn't too ######.!!
Bella - hope you sell loads at the fair.
I shall be (as usual) standing on the side lines at football for an hour freezing my buns off on saturday morning, and probably trying to explain maths homework (which I don't even understand) to an 11yr old...the joys of parenthood:sleep:

I've been the Nurse around the house this weekend...Mr. Ms and Msboy #2 BOTH have Strep throat Both have been cranky and whingey...then, I've been washing everything they touch/lay/cough/get near...I need a break!!
Bonsai 10-11-2006, 09:14 AM Not a lot. Last weekend was hectic due to fireworks displays etc ...
This weekend we are back to normality. On Saturday we need to pop to the local shops and order a pressie for our local landlord who is leaving next Tuesday. He is a lovely bloke, so we had a whip round. We got £60 from the regulars, so now i can go shopping :good:
Saturday night is pub night, and i always enjoy that. I think my mate Donna is staying the night too.
Sunday ... chill out day. Lots of films, drinking - that kinda thing
Tigereye 10-11-2006, 09:24 AM Going to the dentist for a yukky extraction later so have got out of going for a meal tonight with Urk's very nice non-drinking, PC and polite relatives up from the country.
Tomorrow night doing some backing vocals in the local pub (whether the band want them or not) and sunday is dog walking and lunch out.
Coastie 12-11-2006, 10:49 AM How'd the singing go TE?:cool: Why didn't you sing while we woz over? :mellow:
I'm working today...obviously...went to the cinema yesterday and saw The Prestige (don't bother)...:mellow:
Tigereye 12-11-2006, 01:46 PM How'd the singing go TE?:cool: I
FABULOUS gig thanks. We went down a storm and had an even better gig back at the house later!! My box of percussion bought on ebay was a great success and the roof was lifted. Still on a high today.......

Fantastic!:yahoo:
Bonsai 16-11-2006, 02:47 PM I dont know ... mainly because our local pub has just closed down.
The landlord was a lovely man, but a rubbish landlord - so he was asked to leave. The place has now been shut for a week, and the kitchens condemned :unsure: Ewwwww, i have been eating food from those kitchens, i wonder what was wrong with them :sick:
So we are now local publess (well, one out of two anyway).
Oh, BTW i have a 2nd job (and Mr.B too). We are now fully fledged bar tenders at another local pub. We are both working behind the bar on New Years Eve which should be a laugh ... and a good little earner too :applause:
I am going out with my sisters, which is something we havent done for YEARS, a few voddy and tonics and then on for a meal i think, who knows where we will end up especially where the youngest one is involved, she is the middleclass housewife who in reality is a dirty auld biatch :wink2:
My second night out on the booze since quitting the morphine - BRING IT ON!!!!!!!:applause:
blackette 16-11-2006, 03:05 PM How many of you lot are Irish??? jaysus all this drink and and debauchery it's like being at home. My weekend usually starts Friday evening and ends sometime in the early hours of Monday morning. Of course there is no current Mrs B at the moment:yahoo: :yahoo:

blackette 17-11-2006, 11:04 AM Hi TE I don't know him personally seen him a few times over the years though.

Tigereye 17-11-2006, 01:49 PM OMG you're dragging up serious musical memories here Black!!
Unfortunately the poor auld Baggot joined the great venues in the sky in the 90's. :cry:
served my musical apprenticeship there, so I did, so I did, with numerous bands of varying abilities..:laugh:
btw if that link is ropey just google Kielys of Mount Merrion!
blackette 17-11-2006, 01:51 PM I played the Baggot afew times..Bad Bobs ring any bells!!!!!!!:yahoo: :yahoo:
Tigereye 17-11-2006, 01:56 PM Ah here, do we know each other? :laugh:
You're not with Katmandu or the Four of us are ya!?!!
blackette 17-11-2006, 02:06 PM No but I know Dr. Lundy (Katmandu)!!! quite well.
Dublin was always a hard place for us Norn Iron ones to get into, I played with the Presley Brothers , and Rough Country in Bad Bobs and with Tyrone Shoelaces and the Sneakers in the Baggot, the Waterfront? Sachs? hotel and some big place up in Terrenure.
Also a few years at the Cork Festival!:w00t: :w00t:
Tigereye 17-11-2006, 02:24 PM ach, wee marty! Stayed with him in Belfast many years ago...:wacko:
They were down playing a few weeks back. And Trevor is still a hunk of bass playing gorgousness.....
I played with Fitzie the keyboard player and Peter the drummer with Mary Coughlan for a good while.
Vaguely remember The Sneakers and Rough Country rings a bell,but don't think I ever saw yez.
Sachs Hotel and the Waterfront have joined the baggot in the great venues in the sky. :cry:
Are ya going to start playing again then? :thumbsup:
blackette 17-11-2006, 02:32 PM Jayusssss Fitzie and Pete it's been years since I've seen them, does Speedy Mullan ring any bells with ya?? I want to play again but it's getting into the right grove with the right people, just need to look a bit harder that's all.:cool: So how come we're two Irish people talking on a predominately English board....oh the wicked irony of it:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Tigereye 17-11-2006, 02:38 PM Ah sure they're a grand bunch for sassanachs.......
[tiger runs for the hills......

blackette 17-11-2006, 02:40 PM Yes will try ....have a good erm..sound check TE :bye: :bye:
Bonsai 18-11-2006, 04:26 PM Ive had a nice weekend so far.
Last night Mr.B and i had an impromptu evening out. He got home earlier than he thought - so we went for a curry and a drink in one of our locals. It was great, and we got chatting, and laughing and ended up not leaving till midnight.
Today i got up late and did a few household jobbies. I watched a good film, spoke to my mum on the phone and have had a few sherbets :mellow: I dont know whats happening tonight, but i think we will stay in. We normally go to the same pub as last night on a saturday and meet friends, but because we spent our dosh yesterday we really havent got anything left for tonight. But - you are a long time dead .... so maybe we should :laugh:
Tomorrow will be dog walking, and i have a chicken dinner to cook. In the evening we are off to a different pub (the one with the wanky landlord) because our lovely X-landlord is coming back to say hi. The regulars have all chipped in for a pressie and card for him, so we will go to see him get his pressie. We wont be staying long though - i dont think my liver (or purse) could cope !!!
Seabreeze 18-11-2006, 04:56 PM Tonight I am off out with my brothers for the 1st time for years and years. It`s a cousins birthday party and we decided to make the effort and go (they live about an hour from us). I have had my hair done and have just put full slap on and feel quite good.
Tomorrow I am going with friends on a walk to an island that gets cut off from the tide so hopefully I won`t be too hung over :laugh:
Dolores 18-11-2006, 04:58 PM been to Romsey for the day to day, visiting an old school friend and having a laugh and a bite to eat.
tomorrow Maxine and family are coming down - which is nice!
msgirl 18-11-2006, 05:01 PM Well, after a very, very HECTIC week, I came home last night thinking I would be sleeping late and feel ever so refreshed today!! WRONG!! Msboy #2 had a basketball game re-scheduled for this morning @ 9.00 am!!:angry: These people are loopy!! Anyhoo, I really didn't get much sleep last night and was up with the chickens and off we go to watch our future NBA star play his game!:cool: I'm trying to get all my travel plans and clothes and etc., sorted to be ready to see the Southside of here!! Can't wait...We have to work 3 days next week, then I'll be heading to the rellies on Wed. nite for the big day on Thursday and we'll be visiting till Saturday. Just msboy #2 and myself, but fun no less as the Daphster is s'posed to come up and bring her 2 youngest and her Dad will be at the Hunting Camp as well as some of my other friends and relatives.
Andrea 18-11-2006, 07:13 PM Well from the convo. going on, I think I'm gonna jump on a plane to go see Full Circle at Kiely's.
Should just make the 10pm start if I set of now, dontcha think.

LOL Andrea - you missed a great night. Full Circle jammed the place and much dancing and craic was had.
I didn't get out of bed at all yesterday except to cook a medicinal curry and scuttled straight back to the duvet and telly.....:blush:
Bonsai 01-12-2006, 03:22 PM Im sure Mr.B will be farting around with his outside electrics and erecting something !!
So i will spend all day saturday saying "will you shut the blummin door, its cold in here" as he wanders in and out scratching his head. In the evening we will stay in and watch Strictly Come Dancing.
Sunday there is a Christmas Fayre in Woodbridge. We went last year, and it was lovely, but VERY busy. It was nice though, and got you in the spirit. But im not sure whether to go this year. Its too tempting to spend money .... and i cant really afford it right now. Who knows.
floopy 01-12-2006, 06:49 PM Last weekend Gigi and I made christmas cards with cut out potato shapes, paint, glitter and sequins.
This weekend we will be attempting coconut mice and mint creams, to be put into gift boxes and given to unsuspecting fools.
Coastie 01-12-2006, 07:10 PM Aww bless...I remember cooking with Mama Coastie when I was little...we made mint creams...never did Coconut mice though...but then I never liked coconut :unsure:
Have you n Gigi ever made ginger bread men?
Dolores 01-12-2006, 07:13 PM this weekend I will be mostly feeling poorly :ill:
unfortunately I'm working tomorrow all day - I may have to come home early if I don't improve :sad:

Have you n Gigi ever made ginger bread men?
Not yet, but they're on our list. My mum had to buy me all the equipment for cake baking cos we kept turning up at hers to try our hand at fairy cakes and wrecked her kitchen :w00t: .
Am a little worried though, cos after the card making episode, cockers came downstairs yesterday to find that Gigi had climbed onto a chair to get to the paint, then painted the downstairs of the house and her brother in a fetching shade of rudolph.
Heaven only knows what she might do to him after she starts cooking :bag:
maxine 01-12-2006, 07:38 PM I think you're far better off not making cocunut mice et al with the little 'uns - let them make their own way in the kitchen.
floopy 01-12-2006, 07:40 PM My motivation was cheap presents rather than developing culinary skills. :blush:
maxine 01-12-2006, 07:50 PM My motivation was cheap presents rather than developing culinary skills. :blush:
You really are the lowest of the low aren't you? Although I'm sure grandma will be completely over whelmed by said gifts -maybe out for the whole of crimbo!:thumbsup:
floopy 01-12-2006, 07:53 PM Harsh but fair :pimp:
Coastie 01-12-2006, 09:02 PM I think you aought to apply for a job on Blue Peter Floops...They always show you how to save pennies at Christmas by making fab gifts yourself...
My mum was once presented with a rather nice Christmas lantern...I was five and did it all by myself with the help of Simon Green I think it was then...:good:
Bonsai 02-12-2006, 10:19 AM This weekend we will be attempting coconut mice and mint creams, to be put into gift boxes and given to unsuspecting fools.
Blimey - this has brought back memories. I used to make coconut ice and mint creams for my ganny when i was little.
I dont know if they were any good - but she appreciated the thought !!!
Enjoy :laugh:
floopy 02-12-2006, 11:44 AM Well we've made our pink coconut mice and very nice they look too - if a little unusually shaped. They have strawberry bootlace tails, white chocolate button ears and silver ball eyes. It all went surprisingly well actually :sun:
We're doing mint creams tomorrow.
Next weekend I'm going to be going to see a friend in a panto - She's playing a goose in Mother Goose!!
Coastie 09-12-2006, 09:02 PM Have you been goosed yet Rob?
I slept til 3pm today then rose and watched a movie and a bit before cooking dinner and coming to work again...tomorrow is church in the morning then to Mama Coasties for lunch...provided she remembers this time and doesn't go and double book herself again! :huh: Then it's off to some freinds for a mini Christmas party before the pub quiz in the evening...then.....I have another 11 days off! :applause: :yahoo:
msgirl 10-12-2006, 03:07 AM Just hanging out at the house, doing my weekly catch-up thing, reading, wallowing in self-pity...:bag:

Nooooooo MissG.....get out there....go shopping...go spend some time around people you love to be with...here's a :hug: to set you on your way!
msgirl 10-12-2006, 03:15 AM It's 10.10pm...no shopping, but catching up on here is helping me and I heard from an old and dear friend and that's helped me alot!! Thanks for the hug sweetie...it's well appreciated. For reals!!:wub: :hug:
Bonsai 11-12-2006, 08:16 AM I had a lovely weekend until about 3pm Sunday afternoon. Then i met the most obnoxious (sp) woman ever .... EVER.
She has this whole superior attitude to her, and we were happily having a couple of drinks in the club next door when she arrived with about 50 kids hanging off her ankles.
I took an instant dislike, but i tried to change my mind because she was an animal lover. But she was awful.
I ended up leaving really wound up after she told me that i didnt have asthma (i dont know how we got onto the subject) and that i had allergies instead .... and I shouldn't say i have asthma if i havent because one of her millions babies does .... and its demeaning to her :shocking: WTF :wallbash:
She then said my doctor was wrong in diagnosing me with asthma when i was 14. She knew this from a 30 second conversation with me.
So i think i might see my doctor and tell him that they are all wrong, im not a sufferer because some weirdo down the pub said i wasnt, and that i was dissing her kid :bag:
Dolores 20-12-2006, 09:15 PM this weekend I will be mostly relaxing. yes I am anal - yes I have done all my Christmas shopping! :w00t:
If it's not too cold I will go fishing on Saturday and hope that I don't catch anything ... although it is good fishing weather for cod, so knowing my luck I will catch one that is this big!!!

Bonsai 21-12-2006, 08:33 AM Thats just two little ones Dol :w00t:
This weekend 'should' be fun. On saturday im off to a party with Mr.B's family. They are a good lot, and i get on well with everyone so it should be a laugh. PLUS Mr.B is driving, so i can get piddled :good:
Sunday during the day, I plan on doing nothing, except walking the dogs. Then in the evening we are off to the local to sing kareoke (sp) and have a couple of drinkies. We wont be late in bed though as we have to get up at 5am .... so no doubt we will be home by 11pm.
Patsy 21-12-2006, 10:18 AM I'm dead jealous Bons. I love karaoke.
We're off up to the Lakes on Saturday morning, coming back NY Eve. Friends own a cottage nearby and they're coming up Boxing Day. Really looking forward to it now.
survivorfan 21-12-2006, 10:19 AM We wont be late in bed though as we have to get up at 5am .... .
Is this because the cats can't wait to get their presents and wake you up early Christmas day?
Bonsai 21-12-2006, 10:25 AM Is this because the cats can't wait to get their presents and wake you up early Christmas day?
Dont be silly ..... its the dogs :laugh:
The real reason it that its traditional for us to be at mums by 7:30am. This was easy when we lived 10 mins away, but not so easy now !!
So we will be up around 5am, get showered and ready .... get the dogs organised with food, bowls, leads, coats etc - and go. So we will set off around 6am. If we are late, it bu**ers up my mums timings / day (see is very stuck in her ways !!)
Bella 21-12-2006, 10:29 AM Dont be silly ..... its the dogs :laugh:

OMG Bonnie, I am hoping & praying that we will still be tucked up in our beds at 5am, even with two very excitable children.
This weekend, I am going to attempt the food shop, then Saturday afternoon we are off to Mr B's mums which will be a barrel of laughs as she has fallen out with his sister and his brother, but it has to be done! I am also going to make the Nigella Lawson Christmas Chocolate Fruitcake and the stuffing for Christmas Day.
On Sunday we will go to the Christmas Eve morning service at Church and if it is nice we will take the girls uptown to the Reindeer Garden. We are going to friends who live about 10 miles from us in the afternoon, they have an open house but this year is going to be emotional as the guy whose house we are going to has terminal cancer and he isn't doing so good but he still wants to go ahead with his traditional Christmas Eve bash.
I am hoping to make it to the Christmas Eve Watchnight service this year, just depends on where I am with everything else!
Bonsai 21-12-2006, 12:12 PM Sunday during the day, I plan on doing nothing, except walking the dogs. Then in the evening we are off to the local to sing kareoke (sp) and have a couple of drinkies. We wont be late in bed though as we have to get up at 5am .... so no doubt we will be home by 11pm.
This almost didnt happen .... but i have put my foot down with a firm hand :evilmad:
We are doing a few shifts behind the bar at a local pub. Its extra money, and we quite enjoy it really, but we are getting the shifts noone else wants ... which is fine. We are working Boxing Day and New Years Eve because noone else wants to do them, but it really doesn't bother me. We will be working them together.
Now Xmas Eve for me is magical. I get soooo excited like a kid, and to me its about seeing friends for a few drinks, home early and opening a pressie. We have always done the same.
Mr.B just text me and said that the landlady called him and asked if one of us could work Christmas Eve. Now i have told her that that day is a no-no, but she obviously forgot.
Mr.B said i wouldnt, but he could. He told me he was sure is wouldnt be a late one. WHAT!! Not everyone gets up at 5am on Christmas morning, most normal folks stay in bed. So Xmas Eve they get drunk and party till 2am. So not only would he of wrecked my magical Xmas Eve .... he would of ruined Christmas Day as he would have had 3hrs sleep !!!
So i said no. And luckily he was cool about it. Probably deep down he didnt want to do it anyway ... and was thinking of the money, but i would rather do without the £30.
survivorfan 21-12-2006, 03:44 PM i have put my foot down with a firm hand :evilmad:
Reminds me of the soldier who had his legs shot off so he laid down his arms.
Seabreeze 21-12-2006, 04:52 PM This weekend (well tomorrow actually) my daughter and her partner arrive home for christmas YAY . Although I have seen her loads throughout the year it`s the first time she`s been home in a year so I intend to spoil them both rotten with lots of food and drink.
Christmas starts tomorrow in the Breeze household as Mr SB will finish his shift at 6 in the morning and then he`s off all over christmas. I am getting quite excited now :w00t:
maxine 21-12-2006, 05:25 PM I'm working Saturday morning and picking up my turkey in the afternoon. Sunday I'll probably spend flapping about making a mess in the kitchen but not actually getting much done.
Coastie 22-12-2006, 08:16 AM Well...
I'm working today and tomorrow 08-2000
Sunday (Christmas Eve) is a praise party at the church in the morning then, well haven't decided for the afternoon before work in the evening...08-2000
Monday (Christmas Day) home around 0810...bed for a few hours then off to a friends for Christmas dinner in the afternoon (Mama Coastie is with the family in Newquay so I have been adopted) before off to work again for the night shift at 2000!
After that I'm off for four days before the work cycle starts again. :sad:
Bonsai 22-12-2006, 08:21 AM Awwww Coastie - dontcha just love being adopted :good:
I feel like adopting a couple of friends .... but as im at mums and setting off early i doubt they will want to come !! There are a couple of old men i know who will be alone on Christmas Day, and i hate that :sad:
But i am excited (i may of even dribbled a bit of wee) and i cant wait to go to Mr.B's family tomorrow for their party. Mr.B says he will drive because i always drive Christmas Day .... so i can get slaughtered :w00t:

I would like to have a few people round one year but unfortunately work gets in the way all the time...it's a bit pants but hey that's life!
Another friend of mine is on her own and has invited anyone else who is in the same boat round on Christmas day...I had already been adopted by another mate with the same intentions so couldn't play...although I did think of doing the vicar of Dibly thing and going to various people for christmas dinners throughout the day...I have received enough invites to feed a small country so I feel suitably loved! :wub:
msgirl 24-12-2006, 05:57 AM Last night and today, last minute shopping out of the way. Got a trim so I can color my hair back to it's 'natural blondeness'!! Got stocking stuffers today. Then a friend of mine and I went to the movies and watched "The Holiday". It was good for a chick flick. We went and got a bite to eat. We will open our pressies tomorrow afternoon/evening. Visit the rellies in from Nashville. Monday Santa will come and the boys will go to my M-I-L's (soon to be EX!!:w00t: ). I will be reading when not enjoying time with the boys!:sun:
Fee For All 24-12-2006, 06:13 PM I will be reading ...

I cant wait.
On Sunday we always see the same couple again, and have an indian takeaway and a horror movie.
Roll on the weekend.
Patsy 08-06-2007, 09:18 AM Would you put that link in your own words please Bons? Can't be ar$ed to read through it.
This weekend I shall probably do a bit more in my garden. Get me. :sleepy:
Bonsai 08-06-2007, 09:22 AM Would you put that link in your own words please Bons?
Hmmm ..... NO :huh:
Figaro 08-06-2007, 09:53 AM On Saturday we are going to stay with some friends in Sussex. We'll get there about lunch, have a BBQ or something, have too much to drink (probably) and stay overnight.
Sunday, we'll all go the pub for lunch, and me and Mr Figgs will drive home.
Roll on....
Tigereye 08-06-2007, 11:17 AM oooh, sounds loverly fig.
I'm trying to get Urk to go camping but he's not going for it. Maybe if the alternative is cutting the grass and clearing out the garage and me in a snot he might reconsider.:sly:
tonight im on the lash with people from my old firm, one of the girls is leaving so we are all getting together, about 60 of us, so it should be fun..... several of us are meeting at mine for vodka cocktails 1st...:drinking: :wine: :party2:
the rest of the weekend will be spent recovering from tonight :blush:
Coastie 08-06-2007, 05:18 PM I'm working tomorrow and on Sunday I shall be visiting a new church for me...after numerous years I have grown bored with my 'home' church and have decided to explore other venues of worship...I'm looking forward to it...I've already been to one a couple of times and it was great...problem is it's a little further than I would prefer to travel so I'm looking for something closer to home! Very exciting...for me anyway! :laugh:
I shall then be working nights!
msgirl 09-06-2007, 10:47 AM I guess I'll fly by the seat of the pants. Mr. Ms has asked me to a movie and dinner. We are trying to see about working on things...I don't know. Any counselors out there??:unsure: Other than that, little housework, reading, tv, getting over this friggin' indigestion that has me up since 3.00 am. We ate KFC last night as I'd been craving it forever and what a bummer that was. The food was good going down, but the indigestion has been HELL and I have tried all of my little pills and potions. I think it's easing up finally!!
I may see what degenerates, ermmmm, I mean lovely members are on here as well!!:p
I am looking forward to this weekend, its the Peace Festival http://www.peacefestival.org.uk/ (or as we call it, the Hippie Fair) here in Leamington, which is always a good weekend, lots of live music, great food, stalls with clothes and jewellry etc..... I just hope the rain stays off!!!
Last year I was stuck in the effing wheelchair so it was no fun for me, so I guess I will have to make up for it this year :naughty:
Bonsai 14-06-2007, 09:48 AM I hope you have a great time Isis.
I should of been going to an Abba tribute band thingie this weekend, but we cant afford it at the moment. We figured that we would need £100 for the evening, and we just havent got that spare.
So saturday evening i will be sitting at home feeling glum whilst my friends are out dancing to Waterloo :unsure:
On Sunday i will be having my regular indian takeaway.
ahhh cheers Bon...... as long as the rain stays off it should be ok......
shame about your abba tribute, i have never been a big abba fan, but I saw Bjorn Again at the Eclipse Festival in 99 and they were bluddy brilliant! You will have to hire an abba DVD, get you and Mr B dressed up in dodgy shiny glittery outfits and have a boogie round your lounge to make up for it!!!
Tigereye 14-06-2007, 11:10 AM hee hee - I'm off to portugal in an hour!! :devil:

Coastie 17-10-2007, 08:40 PM This weekend will see me watching the Rugby World Cup final...the day will be spent preparing myself for this event and warning the neighbours that I may get a little loud if the boys do well :yahoo:
I will also be going to big church event in Pompey which is quite exciting since, after 20 years at the same church I have decided to make a move to another in the area...similar style just different people and more going on...I'm looking o get involved in the worship team already since they are screaming out for musicians :yahoo:
Seabreeze 18-10-2007, 06:20 AM Shopping and lunching out and watching the rugby. Everything else will be last minute arrangements

Saturday we will probably go into the city center and out for a meal.
Sunday we will be driving home again with a lot less money
Tigereye 09-11-2007, 09:06 AM We've no gigs this weekend so me 'n Urk are flying down to Shannon in the West of Ireland to watch some diddly idle traditional sessions and to go to a Ceili Mor [translation - big mad irish dance in a hall in the middle of nowhere - urk's not a bad irish dancer btw. Hence his urking ability.]
Have informed Boss not to expect too much from me on monday morning, and to ignore my impromptu riverdance displays which will inevidently surface for a day or two.
Patience of a saint that man.
Figaro 09-11-2007, 11:36 AM We have two friends coming over for dinner tomorrow night. They're a good laugh and like a drink, so I don't expect we'll be doing much on Sunday.
Slipper 09-11-2007, 12:53 PM Daughter #1 down from Uni so I may have a beer with her tonight

Tigereye 13-11-2007, 11:50 AM I'm on the dry forever - last weekend was just too crazy.
Ah fek - forgot I've got a pub quiz tonight for charradeeeee. I can always try tonic water I suppose....:mellow:
Bonsai 16-11-2007, 02:40 PM Im looking forward to this weekend as i have had a months worth of cr*ppy ones.
I was up for redundancy. It was a 50/50 chance that I would be leaving. So i spent weeks worrying and shaking and not being able to enjoy myself. Luckily they picked me to stay.
Then, the weekend after work had sorted itself out, Mr.B's dad had a stroke. So we had to dash to Essex to see the family and the weekend dissapeared.
Then last weekend i had a cold, and mixed Day Nurse with alcohol. I collapsed in the pub. I havent drunk since !!
So ... hopefully this weekend will go without a hitch. We arent doing anything special. Tonight is fish and chip supper night in front of the telly. Tomorrow we will go to the pub in the evening. And then on a Sunday we always go to a friends house and have an indian takeaway and a few drinks.
Patsy 16-05-2008, 08:16 PM Here's another doozie for you to read through, Mudgekin.
This weekend I shall be going to an FA Cup Final Barby at friends', then on Sunday I shall be watching some rugby and sniffing a newborn baby.
I hope you have a good time Patsy, enjoy sniffing the newborn baby :wink2:
I too have got plans this weekend, im off to see a mates band tomorrow night, they are doing some warm up gigs before they start the festival season....... should be a good nite, have a few cheeky stella's no doubt :drinking: the biggest bonus is that its only up the road from mine so not far to stagger home!
The Curmudgeon 16-05-2008, 09:31 PM Here's another doozie for you to read through, Mudgekin.
This one's not SO bad, at least it gives you an insight into what people are into and all that.
But, seriously, that "What are you having for dinner tonight" thread was the worst thing I've ever read in my life.
Patsy 16-05-2008, 09:58 PM I'll make you eat your words.
See what I did there?
The Curmudgeon 16-05-2008, 10:03 PM Oh, I'm going to miss your razor sharp wit, Patsy.....
Patsy 16-05-2008, 10:07 PM Many a true word said in jest.
No doubt you'll tell me who I'm misquoting.
The Curmudgeon 16-05-2008, 10:11 PM Ha - to be honest, I have no idea. I'm not a walking Wikipedia you know.
Patsy 16-05-2008, 10:16 PM No, but you're a ........ nah. Too tired.
Going to watch Jonathon Ross.
Night night.
The Curmudgeon 16-05-2008, 10:19 PM Ok. Ni..
What the hell am I doing?!
("YOU'RE THE CURMUDGEON, DAMMIT!!")
Ok. Ni..

Are you a vulcan by chance?????
Tigereye 17-05-2008, 06:36 PM as in covered in rubber? or the god? or star trek?
[I'm loving the obtusnessness round here recently] [shaddup, it should be a word.]
o/t I'm off in two hours to do a gig, got the usual stupid nerves after all these years of playing, three songs I don't know the words of and am now having a vod and coke 'cos it seems like a good idea.
As opposed to learning the words, which would be a brilliant idea.
Fee For All 17-05-2008, 06:45 PM Whatcha playing TE?
Will there be a review?
Tigereye 17-05-2008, 06:53 PM I'm sure there are some talented bods who could knock one up [sounds royal]
without even being there.
Fee For All 17-05-2008, 06:56 PM So what are you doing?
The usual Spice Girls covers? I thought you'd have 'a zig a zig ah' off by heart by now.
Tigereye 18-05-2008, 06:17 AM it went well
Glad to hear it TE. May have to oragnise a trip out to see you in concert!
Patsy 18-05-2008, 08:39 AM By which you mean "....... arrange another huge p***-up in Dublin with the excuse of seeing TE at a gig".
Sounds good to me! :w00t:

No I didn't, as I was too busy laughing! :ninja:
Buzz, may I suggest this handy kit to prevent any other injuries from surfacing next time?

Patsy 19-05-2008, 12:43 PM Believe me, the position she was in when her knees went would have made it virtually impossible to perform such an act. Unless whe was doing it with a horse.
Tigereye 19-05-2008, 03:41 PM Ah yes, I remember that session with fondness.....
If your livers have recovered enough I'd be more than delighted to see you all over here in Dublin again and perform for you.
Although obviously not what Buzz performs:blink:. My cheeks would hurt.
Dolores 19-05-2008, 05:24 PM Believe me, the position she was in when her knees went would have made it virtually impossible to perform such an act. Unless whe was doing it with a horse.
you say it like it's unlikely!!
Patsy 19-05-2008, 05:48 PM The horse bit or the BJ bit?
