I'm sitting here watching it get dark and wondering where my hubby and grandson are! They came back from flying model aeroplanes about 5.30 pm and then took off again for the local park with model cars. Haven't seen them since. I fell asleep and have been watching The Princess Margaret Story and am wondering whether Mr. C has his mobile phone on him. (Some hopes).

Looking through the boards been up since 4 with a belly ache the only morning of the holiday I could have a lay in bluddy typical.

Hi Mazz, just tried to message you but you must be either busy or on the loo :)

I'm sitting here listening to Mr. C cursing and swearing because our shower has sprung a leak and has been dripping downstairs into the flat below all night. Lucky Brian's at Abby's but he still won't be pleased :blink:

It's going to be a long job under the floorboards I think! Poor Mr. C usually works Bank Holiday, he gets one off and spends it doing something he really doesn't want to.

Hope you're feeling better S-I-L.

Drinking tea and making a decision!

Wellllll - im multi tasking. I have a fag in one hand, a belgium choccie in the other, and in between smoking and eating im drinking the vodka and coke in front of me :blush:

kudos to you Bonnie ... and on your day off too ... well done!

I'm multi tasking too...

Ironing, dancing to my That That video, posting on here and drinking water! :D

No multi-tasking for me.

I'm just lazing about :w00t:

Nothing! (and really enjoying it)

Nothing but not really enjoying it - the flat's a tip, the washing bin's overflowing, I still have to put all the stuff back in the bathroom where we had the floorboards up because of a leak, well I won't bore you with all the details but you get the picture!

Was determined to get up and get going today but I can't get motivated. Will have to pretend that someone is coming round at 3 pm - it's amazing what you can do in an emergency.

I suppose the secret is to turn off the computer!!! Never - lol.

Nothing

Good for you Crit :thumbsup:

I am just off for a shower! Late I know, but it is my day off so I am making the most of it!

Relaxing in a quiet house before the kids come home.

Sorting out all my paperwork and waiting for the boys to come home!

trying to come up with a legitimate reason / excuse not to go to the gym after work. I'm knackered and not in the mood.....

:lol: :thumbsup:


thanks Crit!!!

I'm off to watch Peter Kaye, live at the top of the tower on channel 5.
Not seen that one.

Although my mum always says that it is not at the top of the tower, because there isn't a stage there, it is at the bottom of the tower where the circus is.
Oh my mother :w00t:

When she's right, she's right. I've been up there many times. I've seen this one before, got it on video in fact. Very very funny man.

Oh Andrea - I'm glad I saw your post - I haven't seen this one!!

He is so very very funny. My grandmother always used to ask to have the 'big light' on.:laugh:

Lol Fee, the big light.
He was hilarious.

I've not seen this one before, I've seen the live at the bolton hall.
But my BIL has always gone on about this one and about "it's spitting".
I kind of knew what he was on about, but to see it, I just laughed.
IT'S SPITTING, KIDS GET IN :laugh:

And I've heard him go on about t'internet before. You can buy these T-shirts with t'internet on them, I want one :w00t:

is this them?

When i first read this I thought it said live as in living. Wondered why he would want to live at the top of a tower and what tower? Doh!

I'm "resting". Had to have g/son here last night cos his dad has taken his g/f for a romantic evening in Paris for her 40th birthday. Not much romance about though, they had a flaming row last night.

Just got back from the school run. Cor wouldn't like to do that every day. Flipping dustmen blocking up the side street I usually nip down to get out onto the roundabout. I had to reverse into the main road and go another way. Very stressful for someone who doesn't "do" mornings.

More tea and ciggies now to recover.

Sorting out another mound of washing! I am really not sure where it all comes from!

Lol Fee, the big light.
He was hilarious.



Watched this last night too, practically peed my pants! He was hilarous! The big light, the fine rain, the hand actions when you ask if anyone wants a drink, the coming home from holiday in your shorts & t-shirt, the running around when the taxi arrives! Hysterical!!

I am off to put the nappies on the washing line, then going round to a friends for coffee.

I am eagerly awaiting the return of Mr F with a pair of rubber gloves for me. I am desperate to get out into the garden [my new passing fancy] - but I am sick of wrecking my nails and getting ingrained muck into all the creases - and gardening gloves are all to big for me - so RUBBER is the way forward.

is this them?

Yes those are the one's Floopy. :thumbsup:
Love 'em :w00t:

At this current time I'm on t'internet :w00t:
And it's not "spitting" :w00t:

Waiting until 1pm ... then i finish work for the day :w00t:

Watching Michael Howard resigning!!!

He's staying until the party reviews the rules for selecting a new leader.

Trying on some new clothes that have just arrived from my catalogue :thumbsup:

Trying to wrap up a Badminton racquet that arrived bent (not mine I hasten to add - far too energetic for me). I got no brown paper to send it back so was trying to fit it back in original but torn wrapper!

I don't want to go to town, get wrapping paper, bring it back, wrap up racquet and back down to Post Office. If it was a bit smaller I could wrap it in the Post Office but it keeps fighting back and I don't want to make a spectacle of myself again

It seems to have doubled in size or the paper's shrunk. Reckon they'd mind if I sent it back in "Happy Birthday" wrapping paper? The good news: Happy Birthday. The bad news: Here's your crappy racket back now send me a decent one!

I am about to start a huge pile of rioning so I will have a free weekend!!!

Taking a look at the Abi Titmus (sp?) thread to see what all the fuss is about.

I'm going in...

Not impressed then dab?

Right now I am relaxing drinking a glass of wine, after having run about all day getting ready for holidays tomorrow.

The bags are packed and already in the car, butties made and bag stuffed full of goodies for the journey, just need to get up, washed and dressed in the am, and then we are off :funky:

Have a lovely time Andrea.

Right now I'm talking to people in the chatroom. Although that's not entirely true because I'm ignoring them while posting this :)

Andrea, have a lovely holiday!!!!

At the moment I am waiting for my friend in Reno to ring me and hoping she hurries up cos Im tired!

Oh Dolores Bed would be Bliss but unfortunatly had housework, ironing and dinner to do as well as run around after the men in my life(the boys have no consideration when mum and dad have hangover actually seem to get noisier :laugh: )and in the next half hour have to start getting boys in the bath and stuff sorted for their school (beloved away to work for nightshift) so bed for me is only a pipedream roll on ten when kids will be in bed and so will I.

Any open bottle in here is also an invitation for it too be emptied quickly too. Can't have one drink cos it leads to ten hence the hangover :laugh:

I am off to cook a nice chicken and prawn gumbo in a mo!

well this in the "when did you last cry thread" for goodness sake woman!! and don't forget to unplug the iron!

On friday I had to rush home from work half way through the morning cos I was convinced I'd left the iron on .... I hadn't! :blush: boy did I feel silly!!

Chatting in the chatroom!

I am supposed to be working!! :laugh:

Getting ready to go to the pub! :beer: Painting my toenails to be exact :D

Going back to bed for a while and kicking myself (in a metaphorathingy way) for spending the entire day out of the wheelchair the other day. Oh well, nevermind.

Have a magic evening out ILS. :thumbsup:

Dreaming of chips and curry sauce....accompanied by half a bottle of red and a bar of cadbury's chocolate..... :blush:

To be honest (and I feel a bit guilty about this) I am breathing a sigh of relief that my grandaughters (8) and (6) have just gone home. :blush:

After an extra weekend of having Tom while his dad was away, then he came with his 2 yr old this morning and I made lunch for them and played with the little one who was a bit whiney today and then I cleared up the toys and then he has his girls after school on a Tuesday. I felt tired of running round after them all and am glad of a bit of peace.

Don't feel guilty Critique, most people breath a sigh of relief when young children go home (even relatives) as they are hard work to look after and I certainly think you have done you bit for this week. Enjoy the peace and don't feel guilty about it, we all need a little bit of 'me' time! :hug:

We are going to go up night next week and have a walk round the course, it is only abou 3 and a half miles, but it is round Arthur's Seat and Holyrood Park which is a lovely walk, the only blip on the horizon is that d*mn Holyrood Parliament Building!

I am reclining in the armchair whilst my husband prepares me a large helping of treacle sponge and cream :D Hell, you know I'm worth it.

Dolores. Get Back In The Chat Room - Now!

Im in there right now!

... is the book called Wilt? I think it is.

I know which one you mean - it was Gryff Rhyss Jones - and it was something like a Blot on the Landscape or was it a Wilt on the Lansdcape - he was a bit of a boring buffoon wasn't her?? I read the book and saw the film - I just don't have the piggin t-shirt to remind me of the name.

I - I just don't have the piggin t-shirt to remind me of the name.

I don't like your tone Flip!

But I will forgive you... cos I know you will send me one of your pork pies in the post to me ...I would recommend first class ... even I don't eat manky pork pies!!!!!

Catching up on all this evenings posts!

Oh god, that sounds wonderful. Im blummin starving :sad:

Right now im wondering how i can possibly spend the next three days in the company of just my creepy colleague. The bosses are away on a course, and they havent left me much work to do.

I'm just going to hang some more washing on the line.....

Not a lot. My bosses are away on a course, and they didnt leave me much to do so im a bit bored.

Ive been surfing all day so far :ninja:

Recovering with a glass of wine.

Watching another of those ultimate makeover progs on Channel 5. She's getting everything done! I love them but I get so jealous.

Watching the footie!

Failing to get through to our local radio station to win 25K - I KNOW the answer but I cannot get through!!!!!!:ohmy:

Helping Mrs Dab prepare for a job interview this morning. (Getting in the way, she calls it, but I know she appreciates my help really. :) )

Lol Dab. Good luck to Mrs. Dab - hope she gets the job.

I'm helping Mr. C get ready to go to Nottingham for a weekend with his radio control aeroplane buddies (and brothers).

I am very helpful, I say things like "got your phone, got your pills, got your camera, got your clean underwear, got money?" haha.

Mazz will tell you about our Welsh sis-in-law (who deserves a thread to herself - lol) who packs her husband's clothes and makes sure he is colour co-ordinated - you know, navy trousers, navy and white t-shirt, navy socks - then all the beige - haha. And I just know she would be preparing a flask and sandwiches for the journey too.

Blow that - he will have a stop on the way and a full english breakfast if I know him. :)

Making a cup of tea, eating a banana, dancing around the front room and posting on here! Multi taskers 'r' us :laugh:


Good luck to Mrs D, dab :D

Good luck to Mrs Dab, it'll be a breeze!

I just going to take pictures of the earrings I have made - now have 4 pairs! Then I will upload them onto the site.

I made a batch of banana buns this morning - had to deal with a screaming child who got most upset when the flour went in the bowl - and have to confess to eating about 8 of them! Maybe this should be in my secret shame! They were quite tasty though!

chilling, just chilling :)

Chatting on the phone!

Licking my lips and drooling at the thought of Banana Buns - mmmmm! Is the recipe on the thread I wonder? But then again, better not even look there cos I am trying to lose 4 stone before the Portsmouth meet :wink2:

Reminds me, my son mentioned sadly the other day that my mum used to make him spicy fruit cakes without the fruit! He hates "bits" in things. He misses them and asked me if I could make them. Well you know my culinary skills! I suppose I could throw some flour eggs and fat in a bowl and put in some mixed spice and see what comes out!

Smoking a fag, playing on here, drinking a vodka and coke ... and listening to Mr.B putting the top coat on the ceiling - and listening to Shakespheres sister.

Who says i cant multi task :wink2:

Smoking a fag, pondering my lost youth, drinking a cup of tea and eating some melba toast thin crispbread things so that I don't scoff half a packet of choc chip cookies which are beckoning from the kitchen cupboard.

Listening to the builders, banging and drilling :wallbash:

OOOhhh errrrrr missus .... are you joining in :photo:

I've just eaten a toffee bakewell and a lemon bakewell tart.

I had to have one of each to see which was the nicest:w00t:


And in conclusion, I cannot decide, I may well have to test the theory again.

Trying to work out how many salmons I need to order to feed 50 people??

I have no idea how much large salmons weigh - and if I allow 3 ozs per person I would need 150 ozs which is roughly a large 9 lbs of salmon - can you get 9lb salmons??

[I know 3ozs sounds a bit measly, but there are 2 huge gammons and salads and cheeses, and buns and stuff like that - and then puds too]

Good idea, Andrea!

I think without tasting them I would like the toffee one best!

Ah, to hell with it. Just get 'em one each. :laugh:

Are they mini ones, or have you eaten two entire bakewell tarts??

Good idea, Andrea!

A) Pondering on whether Salmon is one of those singular or plural words like Sheep that doesn't need an "s" on the end. But then "how many Salmon I need doesn't sound right" .... oh well, sod it (I sometimes wish I could get my head above trivia like that)

B) Wondering why Flip is feeding 50 people

C) Savouring the thought of Toffee Bakewell

D) Listening to Mr. C swearing at the leaking bathroom tap he is now trying to repair

E) Thinking about getting all my summer clothes out to see if anything still fits me from last year - but I probably won't, I will be doing it 2 days before I pack to go away knowing me - I work better under pressure

Are they mini ones, or have you eaten two entire bakewell tarts??

Ooh no just little ones in those little silver cases.
Although by the time I've finished with them, I might as well have eaten a large one. No I must leave them alone now.
Do you think I can get away with blaming the kids when hubby asks whose eaten all these. Or shall I just scoff the lot and leave no evidence:w00t:

I vote SCOFF THE LOT :pimp:

ooooo Crit - you got me there now - If I hadn't looked at what I had written I would have assumed I put salmon - but look I put salmons - I think your right I am sure it is salmon both singular and plural - anyway do you know can you get 9lb salmon[s]??

A 9lb salmon seems quite a biggie.

I am picturing my hubby bringing home a 5lb bass and that is quite big, so a 9lb salmon would be huge.

edited to add that this is a 5lb bass, so don't know how big a 9lb salmon would behttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/andreab33/DSCF0014.jpg

I had 8 ½ pound babies. They would have fed a fair few ;)

Flip, this is a 9lb salmon according to this fisherman.

I just have made a 15 foot pole from Elderberry branches and taped it to my wee girls swings and attached a 6 foot ribbon on top. This will help me with my 0900 wind direction when combined with blowing bubbles!

Making coffee for the plumbers!

Trying to get my head together after today's brain bashing...it hasn't stopped whirring since 8.45am...no break at lunch, just ploughed on threw on no more than a bottle of water and a satsuma I found at the bottom of my bag......which I started to nibble on mid afternoon.

Speaking to someone lovely on the phone. :wub:

Sitting around before class at 11:10.

I dozed off on the sofa so I'm cold and disorientated and trying to get with it enough to go and make food. Brrr! I can hear Mr. C up in the loft, playing with his aeroplanes! Would have been nice to wake up to dinner on the table - haha, dream on eh?

Sure sign I'm under the weather though, I rarely sleep in the daytime.

:huh:

working late ...... :sad:

This thread always makes me laugh, because I always want to say "posting on here". So there, I have. And I probably will again, one day.

Andrea - your Bass looked a little bigger than this - or was it an optical illusion?? That looks quite big doesn't it?? But if I am feeding 50 it has to be pretty big.

But thank you - I feel a thread coming on?

Anyway what am I doing now - laughing in my tummy - cos I conned Mr F to attend a blinkin meeting that I [i]should have gone to, but could not be bothered!!

Right now I'm avoiding doing some marking - I'll probably have to go and do it in a minute or so!!

Eating strawberries :wub: :eat:

just entered a trance like state flicking through Hello magazine and Sharon Stone as a new mum. Great. It knocked me out cold. The remedy for insomniacs.

Going to bed. :sleepy:

Waiting for AU Optronics ADRs to trade through $17.10 :sleepy:

Letting the above go over my head.

Just been sitting outside with a cuppa - but have just popped into to get stuff for tea organised! But will be back out v. soon - it is soooo hot!

Im about to mow the lawn :ohmy: I had a text from my husband saying "im glad you have been to the doctors. Maybe you should spend some time outside - and maybe mow the lawn" !!!!!!

I mean, men. Doesnt he realise i went to the doctors as i run out of puff walking up the stairs let alone mowing a massive lawn .... but ill give it a whirl.

If you dont hear from me again ive probably snuffed it :ninja:

Oh Bonnie, that doesn't sound like a very good idea :sad: All that grass and pollen is going to make you more wheezy. Haven't you got a nice looking young lad who would take his shirt off and do it for a couple of quid, while you sit ....erm, reading a book ;)

Blimey - i wish i had .... i would never let him go home. I would give him list after list of jobs, and insist that i check each one before giving him another :ninja: Maybe i could employ one of those naked cleaners :ninja:

Catching up on this afternoons posts!

Thinking about Coastie's Pop Idol Challenge :thumbsup:

Hope you are feeling better Bonnie and listen to the doctor's advice and give up the fags!

I should be sorting out the washing that I have just taken in from outside, it is lovely and fresh, and got a right good blowing today!

Oh, and I have to make 2 necklaces, one is for my friend's birthday and the other is for the school fair. Better get to it! :thumbsup:

Watching Calamity Jane :D


All together now....

I just blew in from the windy city,
the windy city is mighty pretty
But they ain't got what we got,
no sirree

Just watched BBLB and now watching BB Live so that I can catch up.

Oh, and posting on here.

i just had a moral dilemma.

A man just tried to deliver two bags of chinese food here, which was meant for the house in the next street.

I was tempted to take the nosh, but I heplfully pointed the gentleman in the right direction :pimp:

Did you check if it was paid for first?

Ooh, good point. Actually Pooks and I had just finished our tea, so we were already full.

Right now I am just going out - bye:bye:

Bye Rob. Come back soon! :)

Watching Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and cleaning my jewelry :thumbsup:

Watching BB live feed both upstairs and downstairs....its a fest.

Well, I was posting here, whilst listening to Magic on the telly. That is, until Mr P comes back from the pub and decides he doesn't want to watch/listen to it. :mad2:

so cut his fingers off and stick them in his ears.


HTH

Yeah, thanks.

Full to the brim with Chinese curry I am having a ciggie, leaning back in my comfy computer chair, catching up with messages and savouring the pleasures of clean hair, clean body, clean clothes, flush toilet and computers while Mr. C. makes me a nice cup of tea and g/son is out on his bike for a little while.

Bliss!

I am heading off to begin writing my final paper of my college years. It's going to be a pain to write...as I have zero focus...but will feel SO good when it's done. I have to write a 10 page paper by tomorrow...I think I'm going to be up pretty much all night....Hmm...I think I better go stock up on caffeinated beverages first....lol.

I'll be thinking of ya IM! :thumbsup:

Focus now...ready and Go...set those keys alight! :wink2:

Trying to wake up!

Trying to wake up!


WAKEY WAKEY!

That helped at all ils?

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :laugh:

I've just looked on the viewing thingy....and there are 48 guests viewing...bloomin hell!

2 of which are viewing Abi Titsout and one is in the printable persion of Buckaroo!!!!

All this going on a 7am - what is the world coming to!

We certainly have some strange guests! :p


I've just hung my washing out, put the towels in the tumble dryer and I'm now eating my breakfast! Must be feeling better, as I haven't felt like doing anything over the last week!

Im staring at my in-tray trying to build up the enthusiasm to tackle it :wink2: Why oh why did my holiday go so quickly !!

Must be feeling better, as I haven't felt like doing anything over the last week!

Glad you're feeling better, ils. :thumbsup:

Hi all, glad you're feeling better ILS and commiserations to everyone feeling depressed at being back to work after the bank holiday or just feeling under the weather. I'm still getting new Mossie lumps coming up - got one between the eyebrows which I would like to keep as it's cheaper than botox ;)

I'm waiting for Mazza to arrive - whoo hooo! I don't see much of her cos she works but she's got this week off so be nice to have some company. Hubby's glad too cos he can go flying with a clear conscience - haha.

I'm trying to copy everything of mine off Mr G's laptop before he collects it - and posting on SO of course :D

I just got back from a walk so catching up on here whilst drinking a cup of tea!

Playing The Carpenters "Goodbye to love" on repeat (loudly) and settling in for a brandy night. Amazing what a single track can do to your memory. I'm remembering a mate's wake, in the Ship Leopard pub in Pompey, coincidentally, when we played this on the jukebox a few hundred times and growled at anyone who complained. Happy days. :wub:

I'm just about to get the washing in when I have finished my huge punnett of Strawberries :wub:

Drinking my tea and eating my ....... tea.

Just filling in time till the BB nominations!

Just filling in time till the BB nominations!

Are they going to show them on tonights program, or won't they show them tomorrow?

Are they going to show them on tonights program, or won't they show them tomorrow?

I got it wrong - I thought there was a nominations programme tonight - but there isn't:cry:

I know, I can't wait till they reveal who's up for eviction.

just sitting in bed, watching Alias and posting :D

Waking up and having breakfast!

Got the kettle on for my first cuppa of the day, having a ciggie and trying to get up the enthusiasm to tackle a mountain of washing

Trying to look interested in my job :blink: Im really fed up with this work malarky this week, which is due to me being off work last week. Luckily my bosses are on holiday, so i can literally do next to ****** all :blush:

Posting my 1000th reply at last - wheeeeee! :smartie:

Now perhaps I can settle down and get on with all the boring old chores.

Wondering why and how the Google Spider is registering as a member here... :wacko:

Not enough work and too much on here!

Mooching around on here for a while after cleaning the bedrooms, landing and stairs, before sorting some dinner out.

Trying to give people rep and being told I have to spread it about! :sad:

Annoying isn't it, especially when you don't think you've given that person rep for ages

Busting for a wee, but can't be ar$ed to move.

:laugh: :laugh: Patsy, GO!

Drinking a cup of tea!

Uploading new jewellery onto my website, making dinner, sewing badges onto Katie's Brownie sash! Oh, what I would give for more than one pair of hands! :laugh:

I'm thinking about having a go at turning up my new jeans :ohmy: It's not a job I relish and I will probably make a right dog's breakfast of it and then when they're washed they will probably look like cut-offs! I daren't wash them first because I doubt I would get in them once they've been tumble dried! Oh I hate doing alterations but I want to wear them on Saturday cos I'm going somewhere :)

Anywhere nice Crit? :wink_kiss

You might have heard of it ILS, it's a place in Portsmouth called Gunwharf Quay. I've arranged to meet some crazy folk there for some kind of shindig. Why don't you come along and bring a friend - it's open house ;)

am currently flat out on the reclining chair, exhausted after a day at the zoo for Gigi's first birthday :wub: .

She loved the penguins, monkeys and meercats, but was a little distressed by the giant vultures!

Awww it's sounds like you had a lovely day, bless her little cotton socks!

Aww glad you had a great time at the zoo for Gigi's birthday.

Enjoy the amazement in her face at seeing the animals, because when we went to Paignton zoo just recently my two looked at one animal then said, "come on, lets go see the next one" straight away.
If they had there way they would have looked at all the animals in half an hour and spent the rest of the day on the adventure playground :laugh:

wondering at the devastation a chocolate finger can do to a small person's clothes.

Dontcha just hate grandmothers :wallbash:

Noooo - grandmothers are wonderful. This grandmother has just stopped her houseworking blitz to cook bacon sarnies for son and grandson for their lunch :angel:

I'm just having another tea and ciggie break and then its onwards with the cleaning and tidying and washing and got another load for the dishwasher now too.:bored:

What flavour?

What flavour?

I can recommend liquorice :pimp:

Wishing I was going out :D

What flavour?

Dandylion and Burdock.

Why are condoms flavoured...I've never got that?

A child once asked me that after a sex education lesson:ohmy:

And your reply was?

I'm ashamed to say that I stalled on the answer and told him to ask me later - he never did!!

What about a 40 year old lady with exceptionally big bosoms, how would you explain it to her.

Something along the lines of safe and non messy oral sex (am I allowed to say that on here:unsure:)

Actually the worst question I ever got asked after sex ed was by a pupil who was trying to shock me - He asked me what a vibrator was used for.

I shut the little sod up by giving him a full and honest answer!!

What...oral sex is given with a condom on....what about the spermacidal gel - masked as it may be in liquorice flavour or what ever...you can never mask that smell.

Oh how horrid.

Does seem a bit of a strange idea... oh well, each to the'r own.

I never got what we were supposed to do with the cucumber once we got the condom on it.

I'm now going to tell you a story...

Well not really but can't be bothered to find appropriate thread.

I can't believe that I have got sunburnt shoulders and arms from this afternoon and then all evening from about 6pm it has peed down with thunder and lightening non stop, and I think its still going now.

Oh you did get the rain that we had then Andrea.

I'm just going to do something with my hair for tomorrow. Not quite sure what yet. Let it dry and tong it like I usually do or put rollers in or try the heated rollers that wouldn't work last time I tried them cos my hair was too short - problems, problems ;) :bye:

Lol - if I don't get off here soon and do something with it I will be doing it at 5.30 am

Eating an orange and thinking about making coffee and toast.

Wishing I could go back to bed... come on 11am (time for Mini G's nap)

Waiting for Maxine to arrive :D

Eating the most wonderful prawn croissant that Clare brought home from work.:)

I know she works long hours on the weekends to help herself get through university, but we all get something out of it - she is out on the town now spending her wages, and i am enjoying the fringe benefits.:wink2:

Got my aching tootsies up on a chair, just had 2 bacon sarnies and an iced bun, a nice cup of tea and a ciggy - absolute bliss! Just wondering what the other Portsmouth Survivors are doing right now too.

Then wonder no more, young Critter.

I'm more tired than ................ a really tired thing. Just putting all my photos in my bucket and trying to work out how to do a link, rather than putting the actual photo on the page. Any ideas, oh wise one?

Having a post meet beer.

Of course I have ideas my beautiful and entertaining friend.

Just copy and past the top thingy (URL) instead of the bottom one [img].

When you Preview your post it should be "Clickable" if you did it right ;)

As for tired ..... I'm more tired that 2 really tired things - lol. Totally befuddled today but happy as larry.

I've worked it out already, Crittle, did you see?

Printing off certificates for my kids tomorrow

Chatting to miss ils on msn :D

Posting on here.

Trying to join the land of the living. I started to feel really tired and weak this afternoon. Went and sat on the sofa for a while and woke up when hubby came in, with a sore throat and freezing cold. :ohmy:
