You have to tell us what it is Coastie, you can't leave us in suspense until Saturday :mad:

I have the local news on the TV (in the middle of 'This Morning') and it has just been announced that 2 cranes have collasped at a school, killing two men and injuring another.


I just knew before they said the name of the school, it was at the school my sons are at.

Gosh ils, that must be a shock. Are the children all ok?

I went out for a run with my trainer this morning and managed my longest ever, 3.8 miles!! took me an hour but even so :) my knees hurt now though :cry:

Gosh ils, that must be a shock. Are the children all ok?



No idea Voice! I just heard the news on the TV and that was all the info given. There will be no point in contacting the school as the lines will be blocked! I just hope they come home soon!

What a horrible tragedy for all concerned.

I gave them both a huge hug :hug: when they came in, much to their disgust :laugh:

My youngest heard a noise and looked out of the classroom window and saw the crane fall.....

Oh, ils what a worry. Glad to hear your boys are fine, even though they probably wonder what all the fuss is about.
Hugs to you:hug:

It's a windy night tonight on that sea and you might be needed later to rescue some dopey wind surfer!!

Yes..I have just bought this off ebay...

BUT...what was even more interesting was when I took a look at this sellers other items and the way she displayed them.

Work that mannequin...

...quick change and into the front room..

What a seller!!

I like the top you bought. I have looked around on ebay for clothes but with no real success. How did you find this seller?

I lke the "jazz hands" and wonder would she consider a bid for these?!


You can picture the seller, can't you, carting this mannequinn round to different rooms in the house and putting different clothes on it!

It's the way the mannequin is done up with the hair, makeup and accessories! Do you think she takes it out with her?

come on now cat, confess.......YOU are the seller and that is your friend isn't it...... :ninja:

I put in - top 14 - in the search so only what I was looking for came up and you didn't have to trawl thru 100's of items. When I got my lacy one I put in - Lacy top 14.

Be specific. :pimp:

It's the way the mannequin is done up with the hair, makeup and accessories! Do you think she takes it out with her?

I think it's her dead friend who she has soaked in formaldehyde or something to make her stiff .... I find it very macabre and would recommend yuo wash the top on a hot boiling wash ....just in case!

come on now cat, confess.......YOU are the seller and that is your friend isn't it...... :ninja:

Nope its not me buzz.....but I would be proud to have a friend like that..so glamerous and lively.

oo oo oo oo oo we got snow today ......... :)

Today we have been to meet the folk whose house we will be living in for our first 3 months in NZ, they live in the UK for seven months of the year and NZ the rest. They are very nice and gave us lots of useful information.

Now all we need is our sodding visa!

Whilst I was in the tesco's car park today, loading the shopping in to the car, 2 trollies were taken by the strong wind and slammed in to my car. There was nothing I could do but watch :sad:

Luckily there is very little damage although the one that hit it head on, has made a dent above the number plate :cry:

No its a book you egit. The Remains of the Day...was made into a film with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.

My brothers girlfriends waters broke at 2300 last night....I am still waiting to hear if neice number 3 has entered the world yet! :wub:

We heard two very large bangs last night around 10pm last night, apparently they were controlled explosions bringing down the remaining crane at the school.

I have just had a phone call from my mate at work, my manager asked her to phone me to see why I hadn't gone in today and why I hadn't phoned.

My manager has completely forgotton that I had agreed with her that when I work on Saturday morning (I have to do 1 in 4 now) I get the following Monday off in leiu....

They couldn't organise a **** up in a brewery :wacko: :laugh:

My interesting news (interesting to me anyway) is that when I think I am having a conversation with people at work, they see me as introducing issues or criticising. I know that I am using dialogue as a way of working out things that I don't feel I understand. So my interesting news is that I believe we have lost the art of conversation and in its wake we have introduced email, text, issues, meetings, problems and, for me, it not only is boring but I love to talk and argue and yet in todays climate the union would probably have something to say about that!!!! News=moan=insight!

my interesting post is that myfather in law has been takne into hospital tonight with liver problems...mr buzz is there now seeing what is going on.....

Well, today had a lovely day with the boys.

Went on the train to a local town, bought the boys a toy each (I'd promised them if they were good for the last six weeks they could have a toy in the holiday, bit of bribery never did a child no harm:D ) took them to Mcdonalds, and caught the train back.

Tomorrow, kids friends are coming round and we are having a baking day.
Each of them get their own bowl and get to make some buns for me to scoff when they have gone to bed:w00t:

Isnt that a lovely day.....

I had 3 men to inspect my kitchen instead of just the one I was expecting. They actually seemed to know what they were doing but the proof is in the pudding as they say!

So on the 3rd & 4th of March, they are coming back to move some cupboards, replaced the sink, lay new flooring, re artex the ceiling etc, etc.

Hopefully that will be the end of it, 12 months after the kitchen was 1st fitted, but I am not going to hold my breath.....

Oh ils, your not having much luck with your house and workmen are you. What with the kitchen and the windows.

Hope they get it right this time.

Most important question though, any of the workmen hunks:naughty:

Only one was reasonable but unfortunately he wasn't tall, short men just don't do it for me! :sad:

My whole house is a disaster area, I need a new roof, new guttering to the front of the house, they need to take the old fireplace out which they failed to do when the heating was installed and they have to come and relay the drive as all the concrete has been pulled up by a tree before someone breaks their neck. I think a few letters need to be written!! I think I'll ask for a new bathroom whilst I am at it :laugh: Although some how I doubt the housing association will be very forthcoming, but if you don't ask you don't get!!!

I dont really have anything interesting to say today, except that i finally sussed out our mailshot for work :w00t: It was one of the tasks that my boss gave me to do whilst he was away on holiday, and the blummin thing wouldnt work. BUT this morning, i have finally got it right :thumbsup:

Other than that, i think it will be a non event kinda day.

Just now I have been marking the knobs on my cooker in readiness for the weekend.

The markings on the cooker buttons have faded, but as I know which way to move the button and by how many clicks to get the oven/grill on, it doesn't bother me.
But as I am away this weekend, I have had to mark all the buttons, as hubby doesn't know what is where. Basically because he never uses the cooker:w00t:

Yeah - Received an e-mail from my work collegues yestersday who informed that my boss was furious because the doctor has given me another two weeks off work! Apparently she left the room saying "Im going to phone her!" So I phones work to beat the boss to it. My work collegue said she was very mad but that he would talk to her for me. He told me not to come back til Im ready.
(The boss knows it less than 6 weeks since I had surgery & I still aint allowed to drive until tommrow)
I'll pop my sick note back to work on Friday when she isnt there!!!

Companies make you smile now days if the doctor says your sick your sick

If they turn funny tell them that you will seek legal advice

kimmy, if you're signed off work, then your company cannot allow you back to work until the doctor says you're fit. You have nothing to be worried about.


If your boss can't cope in your absence, then your boss is at fault, not you.

...and she is not allowed to pick on you when you return either:thumbsup:

I work for the NHS so I thought she'd have been abit more understanding ........ dont worry I wont take no crap. :)

Oh that explains it!!

They always get it wrong with staff.:laugh:

I had only been in from work 5 minutes and there was a knock on the door. When I answered it I was surprised to see my eldest son's g/f there as she was off school ill. I could see she had been crying so I invited her in, and with that she burst into tears as her mum had just had to have her dog put down. She just had to get out of the house and went for a walk and ended up at my place. She then waiting an hour and half for my son to arrive home from school before they went back to her house so they could be there when her dog was buried!

3 Apache Gunships [US Heli's] flew just over our roof top today, they were so low I could see the men inside them - apparently we have just bought them [not me, but us the Armed Forces 'us'].

We all ran outside and waved, it looked like a scene from the Vietnamese war - well have you seen our back garden??

Flip...apparently we bought the Apaches a couple of years ago at great expense.....anyway the MOD after purchasing the helicopters suddenly discovered they have no-one to fly them.....the gunships have been sat in a hanger since waiting for our pilots to train to use them!

Oh and one more thing.........or those slightly wasted since different helo's were used....

Do you love the smell of napalm in the morning?

Oh I didn't realise we had had them for so long but they must have found someone - and I do have to say they are very very sexy:wink_kiss

Mr F excelled himself last night in the loopy stakes. He was trying to elicit a smile from teenage son - so he put a bit lid on his head, and pretended it was a motorbike helmet - he then went on to say 'Look it even has a visor' - and he proceeded to whack himself in the nose with the sharp edge of the flip top bin opening the 'visor'.

Did it elicit a smile?? You bet, followed by much guffaws from all of us.:laugh:

Not really anything major happening today. We have just been treated to lunch by my new bosses, and were taken to a nice restaurant. So that was kinda good.

Unfortunately it wasnt boozy :wink2:

Well last night really, I bought a fridge freezer.

Ours has been dying a slow death for weeks now and yesterday it stopped altogether....so online to John Lewis I went and within 20 minutes had purchased a rather lovely Bosch jobby (not as lovely as your's flip, would have had to reorganise kitchen to fit - that will be my next one).

Thats what you call speed buying. :cool:

:shocking: I'm sneaking on my mums PC to see hwat's happenin' today....don't have long though!

There was a fight in Tesco's car park this morning whilst I was there, 2 old men kicking the living daylights out of each other ......

Damn! I miss all the action. They weren't fighting over you ils, were they?

Why of course :laugh:


KC - well I didn't at the time but in hindsite is sort of funny in a wierd way! :blink:

I'm sat here in the dining room and look out the window and see something strange on the window. At first I think its a squashed bird or something.

On closer inspection, my two delightful children have decided to splat a huge piece of play doh onto the window :ohmy: :laugh:

Yes, Buzz I have just eaten all of your Garibaldi's in a frenzied binge :p

Just took the woofer for a quick walk at lunchtime in the woods and there was this bloke standing really still looking up at some birds in a tree and Jordan peed on his leg.

Was Peter Andre with her at the time?

All the snow from yesterday melted away in the afternoon.

But woke this morning to a dusting of snow, and it has been snowing all morning.
We now have about 2inches of snow on the ground. It's probably a good job the snow melted yesterday otherwise we'd be totally snowed in.
We are off to the shop in a minute for the boys to have a run around in the snow.

We've got a brand spanking new library discovery centre which has just opened near to us. I've been in there today with my son and I must say I was highly impressed overall.

There are banks and banks of PCs which are easy to access the internet on, loads of books, local history items, a coffee shop and best of all, for me anyway, TOILETS!!!! which it never used to have. Now I love libraries and books but they always make me go all squidgy inside and I always need to pee (is this just me or is anyone else like this!!!), so having toilets on site is just fabulous!!!

The lighting is a bit garish and the colour scheme too trendy and it's very very open plan, but on the whole I'm very happy with it.

Just had 1/2 head highlights returning to my original (nearly) colour of brown/red. I had a really relaxing time at the hairdressers today and then spent lots of money clothes shopping. It is a beautiful, bright, clear and sunny day today in bonnie Ireland (crossbreed that I am) so that is good to report.

Dol...I popped in after our Thursday afternoon boozey session.......it does look very impressive although their film and TV section is still incredibly out of date and very, very limited! :(

Have to say you may find me hiding in the cafe from time to time though working on my screenplays and reading my own book when I can't be bothered to travel to Starbucks! :cool2:

Oooo...you mentioned the loos....well you didn't check out the W/Spoons ones the other day.....there was a poo :pooh: in the only one left available when I had to go! :sick:

In my defense I would like to say that the poo :pooh: found me on this occasion..I did not go looking for it and it was Dol who mentioned the new loo's in the library.....

However....I would like to add that I do not have wind today......instead I smell like roses on a summers day! :blush:

Just to add to your library on the subject Coastie, maybe I find this so amusing as I was actually born in a toilet. Maybe I am a magnet for the topic!!!

I just find poots sooo funny...they provide me with much entertainment...sad but true......what's it they say....simple things, please simple minds! :bag:

I do have something interesting to report, I introduced this site to my good friend who is an Irish charmer herself so she may come on board as a new member soon.

If not perhaps you should....oh and all the cheese! :unsure:

DJ Tommy Vance has died as a result of a stroke.....I never really knew him as a DJ but I did see him briefly on 'Hell's Kitchen' and he was a definate throw back to the 60's! This smile most looks like him :cool2:

Yay....are you hoarse from all that screaming support now! :w00t:

I am :laugh: Froze my nuts off in the process though!

Edited to say

My eldest son has just arrived home from an athletics meeting with 2 medals....


Silver for Triple jump and Bronze for Long Jump and he acheived personal bests in both..... :funky:

Shame I wasn't there to see him :sad:

Ils.....are you sure it was your nuts and not your boobs that froze off? Just wondering if there's something you're not telling us.....like your real name is Norman! :shocking:

We have the Smash Potato alien robots garbling on one of our radio frequencies......it has driven us to madness and now we are all talking like them about potatos...... :shocking:

We also almost lost one of our helicopters....ooooo... thing was when the pilot reported his problem he sounded like Donald Duck.....we thought it was someone taking the piddle at first... :blush:

Hurrah! My house sale is back on, apparently it was a communication problem at the botom of the chain and all is well after all *Phew* I was getting worried about that so I'm glad it's sorted :)

That’s good news



We had the survey done on our house today I hope there is nothing wrong

I will be busy putting it right otherwise

That really is brilliant news Voicey.

Cor Cockney - surveys. The worst things in the world. Ours showed up no end of stuff which had never caused us any trouble. The buyers had a full survey done, and they spent 3 hrs searching every nook and cranny. We ended up having to knock £3k off the asking price to pay for new electrics :ranting:

Oooops sorry, thats probably the last thing you want to hear :blush:

I defrosted my freezer today......it is now completely empty and I'm looking forward to restocking it with lots of healthier foods than it previously contained!

i was interviewed for the radio today and could I am stumbled across a few sentences but otherwise it was quite enjoyable.

Today I found out that the gas fire in our dining room (which we never use) has been slowly leaking gas into the house for ages :blush: Luckily it was a very small leak and we have good ventillation as it's set into a chimney.

It's mended now :)

Yep, stumbling away .....ah well, as long as Im enjoying myself!

Have some goss lol

At the end of school today a panicked voice came on the tannoy saying that all students were to remain in their classrooms and that all senior male members of staff were to come to the building at the front of the school immediately. There was mayhem at the front of the school as 20+ men (no idea who, why, where from) had pushed over the headteacher as he opened the gates and ran to the nearest building (where mostly the younger students are) and caused havoc invading the school. All the other buildings were locked to prevent any further access. The police turned up pretty sharpish in force and the men legged it, with some getting caught.
This was quite surprising and I have no idea why on earth why the hell they would do such a thing. Maybe jealous of the school?
Hopefully will found out more later. I don't know if anyone was seriously harmed as everyone was made to go home as fast as possible after the police arrried.
Do you think it is necessary for schools to have people employed to provide security?

Sharky that sounds really scary! Hope everyone was ok. What a bizarre thing to happen.

Sharky what a scary thing to happen :shocking:

Do let us know if you find out anything....

Sharky malarky - what a weird thing to happen!!!!

You must come back and tell us what it was all about?? I am soooo intrigued - I hope your headmaster was OK?? And no one was hurt - what a weird thing to happen, I bet deep down you were all terribly excited though - well having mega rushes of adrenalin??

It was scarey but as Flip said terribly exciting! Love the adrenaline rush. Was prepared to face anything.
He is okay thankfully as my friend saw him talking to the police. I have a sneaky suspicion it was sixth formers from the not so good school (putting it nicely) in the area who had a half day because of Red Nose Day. But even by their standards it was very brave! Intense school rivary stopped about ten years ago and I hope this will not resurrect it.

Blimey Sharky, that's insane, even our school couldn't beat that.

All I've got report is a Deputy Head gettinng smacked in the face by a year 9 boy at parents evening last night, infront of about 60 parents.

Floopy and Shark Attacks

So the best days of your life are your school days? Times are certainly a-changing and both accounts sound quite eventful!

yup, it's a differnt world now.

Same Deputy Head that got smacked had found a knife in another boy's bag about an hour prior to that.

Groundbreaking news, I am going to get up from my backside, shower, and go out present shopping.

Sam stood up this morning and fainted! We told him it's because he's not used to being vertical ;)

Seriously he's fine, he's still very anaemic and I think he just stood up too fast. Bless :hug:

Groundbreaking news, I am going to get up from my backside, shower, and go out present shopping.

snap! except not buying present but going to super duper new library!

Ican't beleive it's 12.35 and I'm still sat in my dressing gown and non-matching jimmy jams!

My mum always looks nice, and she once told me why. Years ago there was a film called "Woman in a dressing Gown" (I kid you not, you can't make up titles like that!!) who just slobbed around the house all day in her dressing gown and in the end her husband ran off with another woman who had a bit more go in her!

Well, mum, today, I am ...... that woman in the dressing gown!

Well ****...if thats all it takes I'm off to find me a dressing gown :w00t:

Yes I do!

I love my new fridge freezer, just done my first big shop since it arrived and putting the food away was a pleasure...its so much bigger than the old one.

So lets all give a big HURAHH to my new fridge freezer.


HURAHH


PS I also didn't get out of bed till 10am which is unheard of for me! Was getting up to go to sainsburies at 7am (too tired for a run today) and suddenly thought..blow this what am I doing! So me and Mr Cat stayed in bed and watched The Aviator DVD. How cosmopolitan are we eh!!!

Good Lord woman, you'll be telling us soon that you have driven a Renault Clio down the Town Hall steps!!:shocking:

V- poor old Sam, feinting like that - mind you he does have a long way to go to get up - maybe the oxygen was a bit short up there!! Give him a manly sort of causual hug from me - but laden with kisses [he will so love that - NOT!!!]


Today, I decided to do nothing after I found out I had my Church cleaning rota muddled [it is next week]. So my sis in law came round with 2 of her 3 children, the youngest is potty training - so 4 wee's later [2 on the lounge carpet and 2 in the kitchen] - I decided to have another blitz.

I have scrubbed windows, moved furniture, hoovered skirting boards, hand washed the hall, family room and kitchen floor [on my knees], polished the silver, handwashed all the ornaments, dusted pictures you name it I have done it in 4 rooms - and I am shattered beyond belief but feel most proud.

More elegant than I Dol. PJ's and socks where I normally slide into cat vomit (for some reason hairballs are all the rage) and start the morn.
My second piece of groundbreaking news is the prat that I was in love with, last saw or heard of in Dec, came into the cafe where I was idly reading the paper and drinking capuccino, with a girl, didnt say hello and walked right past me. He knows that I wouldnt really be into the social chit chat which is so normal here as an elastoplast to any potential social discomfort (essay to come) but i have to say he is a prat. prat. prat. prat ......prat (did I by any chance say the word prat!)

Coasties mum is currently 10000ft above the world on her way to Cyprus..... :cool:

Coastie is currently struggling to stay awake having had to get up at 3am to give mum a lift to the coach station..... :closedeye

Coastie became slightly miffed on the journey home as the lights kept changing to red for no reason and staying on red for eons.....I was the only car on the road and it was so :pooh: I hate it when that happens! :mad2:

Went shopping this morning to the next town to us and found a brilliant shop.

It sells nuts, banana chips, bombay mix, loads of fresh herbs and spices and loads of stuff like that.
Well I was in my element, I wanted to buy the whole shop.

Well I came away with some liquorice for the men of the household, some balti mix spices, and a bag of honey roasted peanuts for me.
It was a toss up between the peanuts and the cashew nuts.

Needless to say I now have an empty bag of honey roasted peanuts in front of me, they were delish :eat:

I just popped in to say I'm sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth without a word last week, and I'll try to do better in future. :wink_kiss

My business partnership dissolved yesterday. Things went terribly wrong last week. The other guy threw a double-six and suddenly demanded we change the terms I've negotiated with several minor partners - making the deal vastly more beneficial for us and very unfair for them. We wrestled until yesterday morning and then accepted the inevitable and walked away from each other. I told all the partners yesterday.

I've put six months into this and it's all gone. As you can imagine, I'm poleaxed. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself now, and Mrs Dab and I are left with some money "issues"... not good.

So, that's what I've been doing...

I'm so sorry to hear that dab :hug:

Oh Dab. I am sorry to hear that. A tough time for a while I think. Good luck to you and yours :hug:

Oh dab, that's really sad news. :hug:

Just try to do something to tide yourself over and don't dwell on it....if you can try and focus on other stuff I am sure the answer will come to you in time.

I hope it all works out for you. :wink_kiss

lordy, Dab, what a nightmare, I hope you come out of the other side smilling :)

What a Bummer




This is going to be no help at all

I have been there and it can make you feel like giving up

These things happen for the best sometimes



All you can do is pick yourself up brush your self down and start all over again

Learn from your mistakes and don’t make them again

Find a new partner and this time the venture will be stronger and better



You have to remain positive don't sink Start swimming

Oh Dab, I hope that things turn around for the better for you very soon. It must be heartbreaking for you. Good luck. :hug:

well, today we have inspectors in school and I was expecting two days of total panic, but they're here, the school feels like it's empty cos it's so quiet, and I have nothing to do :w00t: .

Not very interesting, but there you go!

Thanks for your kind words, folks. I don't know what I'm going to do. At the moment retirement looks pretty attractive, but I know I'll pull through that numbnuts nonsense in a couple of days. :thumbsup:

Mrs Dab thinks it's a true blessing and wants to know why I ever stopped writing full time... hmm... I'll keep you posted.

Love ya all! xxx

Well the school inspection is still going on - so far they have only seen the bad teachers and ignored the good ones.

There's been 3 fights and one ambulance.

Oh lordy.

:smartie: A typical day then Floops :wacko: :boxing:

it's quite quiet actually :laugh:

this morning has just been one of those morning:wacko:

Taking the kids to school, Steven, the little darling, decided to jump over a puddle. Well the first time he made it. The second time, he didn't. Very wet trousers. Went back home to change them (we were only round the corner)

Set off again, then Sean bangs his knee and takes the top of a scab off and is bleeding everywhere (well, slight exaggeration, but from his noise it definately sounded like it)

Then nearly at school, and Steven decides to walk into a wheelie bin and bang his head.

Kids:wacko:

I'm just stomping fed up....everytime I have gone to do somthing...something else has interrupted AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHh

Miss ils arrived home and within half an hour was fast asleep on the sofa ....
I think she has been partying too hard at uni :D

I realise that cross stitch is a controversial topic around these parts but I have to report that today I finished This (http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/db.cgi?db=zoom&uid=&Prod_Code=1096&ww=on&do=search_results)
which is no mean feat as I only started it in September (last one took me 2 years :wacko: ) Had to complete it though as I need to get it framed before we go.

That's quite an impressive achievement Voice. You must have the patience of a saint!

I haven't got much interesting to say for myself really, except that yesterday the only thing I ate was half a chicken sandwich, and today I have eaten nothing thus far. This damned flu has totally robbed me of my appetite :angry: The silver lining is that I'm 5lbs lighter than I was on Monday.

The other interesting thing is that the carpenter has now finished our stairails and spindles in the hallway, and they look fab!!!!!! He was bluddy reasonable too, considering the prices that most tradesmen charge in London!

Wish I'd know him when we got our fitted wardrobes done last year.

Master ils has just gone out to buy his very 1st lottery ticket :D

YES!















I saw a goat being born today!

It was electric.

plop.

Wow Cat! :ohmy:

I had a giant choc chip cookie with a cup of tea in the library cafe with a mate but that doesn't even come close to witnessing the birth of a goat! :wub:

Cat remind me one day to show you my photo's of my baby twin goats, Esther and Flossie. I helped their Mum deliver them, then her udder burst, squirting us all with rancid milky cottagey cheesey stuff, and she had to be put down. So we hand reared Esther and Flossie, they lived in the kitchen beside the Rayburn for a couple of months - I used to get very drunk and then feed them both at the same time - oh happy days!!:wub: (http://www.survivor-online.co.uk/forums/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#)



Well my interesting news today is that my WI have chosen me as theirs and 3 other WI's delegate to go to the WI annual conference at the Albert Hall!!! Just like in Calender Girls - how exciting is that?? :w00t: (http://www.survivor-online.co.uk/forums/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#)

I finally sat my bum down last evening and finished the first draft of my latest screenplay...woo...now I shall do a bit of editing, print it off, get a good freind of mine to read it correcting all my grammer and punctuation before copyrighting it and uploading it onto triggerstreet for reviewing!

:pimp:

:pimp:
How interesting of you to report that! Just jesting, good work and a satisfying achievement for you. Although it does dispel illusions, I thought your pastime out of work was pooting?

Nope, nowt really interesting to report - except that i was in a severely BAD MOOD this morning, which im desperately trying to shake.

Nothing in particular caused the mood, i think its a mixture of tiredness and trying to run a house / zoo all at the same time :ohmy:

I thought your pastime out of work was pooting?

Nah...I do that in work, out of work, where ever! :blush:

Bonnie.... :hug: cheer up hun...I tell ya what helps me when I'm in a bad mood.......knowing that my boss will always be more ugly than me! :wink_kiss

My interesting news is that my eldest son is taking his Practical PE GCSE exam today and tomorrow and it is pouring with rain :sad:

....knowing that my boss will always be more ugly than me! :wink_kiss

Actually...may have to take this back...have just met my new Boss (he starts soon with us and will run the station) and well....he aint half bad... :naughty:

My line manager still resembles Shrek on a bad day though!

Today whilst going for my daily walk with my friend around the local park, 5 police cars drew up at the different entrances to the park and at least 10 policemen/women got out....

We were intrigued as to why there were so many, but in the end 2 policemen & 1 policewoman took a young lad off.... He couldn't have been more than about 10 or 11 :sad: They then all drove off.

Neither of us knew him and we have no idea what he had been upto. I doubt we ever will.....

Anyway that was my bit of excitement for the day! I really must stop living the high life :laugh:

Yes, my quick 3 mile run turned into a 4 mile sprint when I lost Bazeeeel for 15 minutes...found him in a field 1/2 a mile away shagging a Great Dane. Would have been very annoyed if it wasnt' so funny.

Still managed to pick the Fredmeister up at 5.30pm...no wonder I'm piggin shattered.

Whilst bathing the kids tonight, hubby kindly did the washing up.

Afterwards he mentioned how it was nice that there wasn't much pots to wash.

Now I had made up a lasagne today, so I had already washed 2 pans and all the pots from making it up. All he had to wash up was the plates, knives and forks and the lasagne dish.

I explained to him that was why there was so little. I tried to explain to him that when I cook something like meat, spuds and veg, there is going to be at least 2 pans to cook, with the plates, untensils and all other stuff.
I really think he expects tea to be cooked without any pans or trays, he thinks I use all the pots in the kitchen when I cook, but its really just his inability to understand that you can't actually make tea with just two plates and cutlery :wacko:

Our new ever so slightly sexy boss starts this afternoon...I may be distracted for a while! :wink_kiss

Go for it girl :naughty: :laugh:

Eeek he surprised us by coming in this morning! I had to present him with his own copy of the station profile (which I loveingly prepared)....he is very nice....oh dear...major crush potential....

Where's Queeenie when I need her!

Where's Queeenie when I need her!


Im here now!!!!!!! But I am going out in about an hour.......whats the state of play then???? I need details so that we can plan our attack, sorry, seduction :naughty:

I've just finished my second iced apple doughnut for the day and printed off the first draft of my latest screenplay....oh we had a big bang off the Isle of Wight today aswell....see I do do proper work sometimes! :blush:

Coastie love - that has cheered me up no end, seriously the thought of the Bomb Disposal Team, just arriving in their van has done old Flippy no end of good.

I have had a very long, traumatic and emotionally draining day - I am akin to a mouldy old dishcloth. So this old dishcloth is most pleased with images of khaki camo's and big helmets!!!

Nox..... :naughty:

I bouth a single large potato from Safeways today....it was for me to have with my dinner tonight...and I was amazed that this one (albeit rather large) potato cost me 50p! :ohmy:

I shall stick to my little local grocers in future....they would never charge me 50p for one spud! :boxing:

I went to listen to some great jazz last night. For those who like this kind of music and might be heading to Dublin, can I recommend JJ Smythes on a Thursday night, Aungier St, central Dublin. Set starts around 10pm. Really smooth, skilful music.

2 problem relationships with work so I raised this with my manager and spent 2 hours, using all my communication skills, trying to raise my managers awareness of this. One of the hardest pieces of work I have done for a while. I was exhausted after this, but looked after by work colleagues.They were peased that I had challenged someone's relationship skills that have been impacting negatively on all members of the team. Went to bed at 8pm as I was exhausted, and slept soundly for 11hours. So, today, another challenging day at work!

Just woke up to find that I won all 4 auctions bids that I bidded for on e-bay! I didn't think I would get them all, so bidded for 4 and now I have a bigger bill that I thought I would have to pay! Looks like I will be singing on street corners this weekend! :w00t:

I have something to report...it is more shocking than interesting, but anyway..

I was doing my shopping at the local sainsburys this morning and was informed by a member of stff, that I know, that a woman was mugged in the underground car park at 9 o'clock this morning. She had her baby with her and three 'youths' shoved her and took her handbag. I am deeply shocked that you can't even bloody go shopping in safety now......the woman had her BABY with her for God's sake....

There are also little gangs going round pinching handbags out of trolleys....little gits want a bloody good hiding.....it make me so mad

That is terrible Buzz :ranting:

I only hope she is ok..

That is shocking Buzz, and I bet those little toerags will jsut keep getting away with it. There is the recent story about the teacher being jailed for taking an airgun to some youths. Now I know she was wrong, but she had had enough, she had quite simply cracked. It is awful that innocent people, law-abiding people take the law into their hands and they end up being punished for it, because the law cannot do anything to these louts. I do hope they catch the youths who mugged the lady in your store Buzz, I mean how low can anyone stoop? :ranting:

I when out for a quick coffee and chat with Fee For All today at a local coffee shop and four and half hours later miss ils rang me on my mobile to ask if I had got lost :laugh: Goodness can that girl talk :wink_kiss

:laugh: ....we had a workout at the gym, if you don't mind.................

............... not today, but just been to Normandy for a few days, saw beach landings site and also Joan of Arc's place of demise.

v v interesting, no really.

Ooh, just got a scary call... it never gave me the number of who was calling, but I answered and said my usual cheery "hello?" and I couldn't hear the caller on the other end, so I said hello another couple of times and then "sorry, I can't hear you" and then the line came clear and I had someone shouting "YOUR NUMBER'S ON MY GIRLFRIENDS MOBILE! WHAT'S GOING ON!!??" in a rather scary and mean voice, and me, never done anything to harm anyone! I don't even think I've phoned any girls who have boyfriends for over a month, and if I have they're only my friend and nothing more. Cheeky sod. Maybe it was a prank, but they sounded pretty angry.

You've obviously been selling your body to women when you're drunk - that would explain the extra money in your pocket...:ohmy:

Oh yes...Flyo the Fly by Night....thats how your afford to drink grotto's of Grolsch.

heh, nice thinking! It all fits into place now.

It all fits into place now.

And so it jolly well should, if you're charging...:laugh:

I'd give you a go...how much?

:laugh: ....we had a workout at the gym, if you don't mind.................


So that's what all the equipment was in the room next to the restaurant :laugh:

Couple of bottles of Grolsch and I'm yours!

Flyo, don't sink so low, not now (chat later :wink_kiss )

Flyo, don't sink so low, not now (chat later :wink_kiss )

But out lady, these are my negotiations.

Ok, Flyo what do I get for 2 bottles.

But out lady, these are my negotiations.

No, really Flyo, don't get sucked in, she's like human quick-sand.

Raise me 3 bottles and you may find out :wink2:

OK :w00t:







.

Quick-sand... quick-sand... quick-dash... argh!

I need to get these threatening calls more often... they lead to a world of profit!

Quick-sand... quick-sand... quick-dash... argh!

Alas, it seems I was fooled... it's a mobile joke service, you send an automated message to someone and they get really scared. I have to say it had me really baffled. But at least now I know I'm not selling my body whilst drunk! So help me, when I found out who send it what's the correct punishment?

One good prank deserves another

Send there name and address to the local branch of the Jewnutters witness in a little letter saying how much they would love to join them



Try and find the most inconvenient time for them to call
like say, seven o'clock Sunday morning and suggest it saying that they can pick them up and they can all go and praise god together


And then wait across the street from there house and have a good laugh as they try to get rid of them

o and dont forget to ring them just as they are about to knock
tell them your outside and knocking so that they open the door and stay on the phone if it is a mobile for even more fun

My nasty colleague left today ..... and i feel a bit 'odd' about it.

When i first joined she was a complete cow to me, and i couldnt bare to be near her. She wouldnt help me when i needed help, and all she did was snarl and be lazy.

BUT since she handed in her resignation she has changed. She suddenly became a nice giggly person, and i really enjoyed her company.

Now she has gone - and im all alone :mellow: The bosses havent recruited anyone else yet to replace her (they cant find the right candidate) and so ill have to look after them both for the next 3-4 weeks !!!

I didnt have any female company for 3 years in my last job, and i kinda liked having someone to gossip with here.

As much as it sickens me to say it ..... i think im going to miss her :blush:

Whilst bowling today I had a spooky surreal experience!

It was me, my mum and my son bowling and when we had to put our names in my mum called herself Cat and my son called himself Scooby! How surreal is that ... .spooky I thought .... then we went to the Pizza express and my mother ordered a Pizza with goats cheese on it ...... scary stuff huh!

So Cat are you my mum? and Scooby are you my son? I'm very confused now!!


Just realised I've used the word Spooky aswell .... and so another member of SO comes into my real life!!!

I find this too Dolly Bird...when I see a HUGE digging mechanical thing drive by with CAT on it, the people we order our print cartridges have a shark logo, just like Groucho's, the revival of Starwars - seeing the Wookie (dab), my friend - or not anymore as she had a row with someone at my 40th - called Dolores...I have refered to Buzz as Buzz to Mr Cat.

Took the children to the Tolkien 50th anniversary celebration today.

It's only five minutes away from home and the two eldest were both working at Sarehole Mill doing surveys today.
The turn out was very good, the weather was brilliant too.
I managed to have a chat with Toyah Wilcox who was being filmed for the local news, naturally i had not taken my camera,(which had mysteriously disappeared two days ago) nor a pen, but she was interested to know of our site and might take a peek.

Ohh welldone you.. I like Toyah...her meaningless silly songs in the 70/80's and her participation in IACGMOOH. But most of all I love her for her inclusion in Teletubbies...do you know that she is the voice ( with Spike Milligan) at the beginning...but also..she breeds the giant rabbits that leap about - they are hers. Oh yes.

Oh LOL - I am sure she wouldn't want to know that although I adored her in the past [when she was a true rebel] but I remember her best for having a huge gorgeous house bunny.

And Dol I know what you mean, I was at the hairdressers on Monday and as I drove up to the car park, there was a caravan selling snacks [chips etc] and it was called 'Uncle Scoobys'!!

I had no idea I was bidding against you Cat! You can borrow it after I've stretched out the seams a bit! I will be wearing it to the Portsmouth meet with my leather mini skirt, fishnet stockings and no knickers .... if that doesn't get the MB boys down to Pompey I don't know what will!!! :w00t:

Cat you doughnut, you should always bid at the last minute, do you know NOTHING woman?! :laugh:

Yes I usually do, just got a bit over confident - silly me. The cardy (and the corsette) are from the same lady I got silk shirt from.

How much would a photo of Dol in her fishnet stockings and no knickers fetch on E-Bay d'you reckon??! :w00t:

I would say lots of other things too, bu she has been very kind to me just lately....

Anyway I am sure no one will mind her forgetting to put her knickers on, as long as she actually remembers to comb her hair for once - BOTH ends.... :laugh:

I have stopped crying now and have recovered from the pain Dol inflicted on me......

Just found this website and it has a pretty amazing picture on it.

It's a 360 degree panoramic view from the top of Everest.

Wow :photo:

That's amazing Andrea! I'd love to be up there.

Wow indeed! That photo is amazing :photo:

Fantastic picture! Although when you scroll it around, if you look you can see what looks like a dirt road leading up to the top. It's as if you could just take a relaxing stroll up it. :laugh:

It won't let me look at it............:cry:

Oh Wow! Was brilliant. Was playing about with the drop down menu and chose Eyes Wide Open - wish I hadn't now - so sad. Took me a while to work out what it was but it was boots, hundreds of pairs of boots and I guess it was a pair for every soldier killed :cry:

There are some spectacular panoramic views on there.

Ooh wow, Crit. Didn't see that one yesterday.

We had an operational readiness inspection this morning.....It was surprisingly easy (all I had to do was open a cupboard...no really!)....anyway...my computer terminal has crashed three times so far today and I have had to have a communications 'slot' repaired....along side all this we have a huge meeting going on downstairs to discuss the way forward and have people working on all our communications equipment, recording software and all other stuff!

Basically there is a million people swarming around scratching their heads and bums!

I'm sat in a huge room in college practising for my Sage Accounts exam....and its F*cukn Wickeeeeeeeeeeeeed Man.

Wooooo Well done Cat....now IMHO that is a very good reason to have a drink this evening! :wine:

Kylie Diagnosed With Breast Cancer Pop queen Kylie Minogue has been diagnosed with breast cancer.She will undergo immediate treatment and has cancelled the Australian leg of her Showgirl tour.

The singer has also pulled out of the upcoming Glastonbury Festival.

The 36-year-old was diagnosed earlier this week while staying in Melbourne with her family.

I saw that Fee and I was shocked. She's very young, and shoot me down in flames here if I'm completely wrong, but people without so much on top aren't normally at such a high risk are they? I'm assuming Kylie has had some enhancements BTW. Poor girl - what a blow.

Poor Kylie...I like Kylie for some strange reason she does seem to have avoided much of the celeb slappishness!

I didnt think she was enhanced...if she has been its a very subtle one.

Hope all goes well for her.

M

I am really sorry to hear the news about Kylie. I have always liked her as she comes across less effected than most pop stars!

In the past 10 years I have lost 2 friends who where in their late 30's/early 40's to breast cancer, so I do hope they have caught hers in time!

Yes, shame about Kylie - so young too. Let's hope for a good outcome for her.

I have grandson tucked up in bed asleep at the moment. He was staying at his dad's girlfriends (he walks there from school and dad joins him there at 7 pm) on a Tuesday. She lent him her bike and he pulled a wheely and fell onto his back. He was in a lot of pain but mobile so I just told my son to go and get him and bring him back to me. Apparently g/friend was telling him off for doing wheelies on her bike, dad had a go at him for upsetting g/f and all he really needed was a cuddle and a bit of fuss.

I did the full wounded soldier bit, made him comfortable on the sofa with cushions and he soon perked up, especially when his friend came round with a broken remote controlled car and hubby put himself out to fix it for him, but he must have been in pain because he actually took some painkillers and I've never known him to take tablets before. He's been sleeping soundly for a while now so can't be too bad.

I know I spoil him but there's no point in ranting at him when he's obviously distressed.

I know I spoil him

And so you should Critique, that's what grandmothers are for! It is their job to spoil their grandchildren! :thumbsup:

Having had 100 people working on our communications system yesterday I am pleased to annouce....none of it is working anymore....well parts of it are but most of it is duff!

One asks oneself why our company insists on trying to fix things that aren't broken just for the sake of keeping some lonely little I.T. geek (who is useless by the way) in a job!

:ranting:

One of our year 11 boys has been arrested for rape.


Lovely. :glare:

They grow up so quickly..........:bored:

I have just moved into Period 2 (May) on my accounts system. This is the first time in 5 years that I have been in a period whilst it is still happening - usualy you don't get the reconcilation report from the council till months later.

HURAHH! to Bedfordshire County Council.

And so you should Critique, that's what grandmothers are for! It is their job to spoil their grandchildren! :thumbsup:

I agree Critique, if you can't spoil them who will! You go for it, if it makes you feel good, you go for it and don't feel guilty about it!

Crikey Floopy - what age are they in year 11 - 16? We do it different up here in Scotland, once you start secondary school, you begin with S1, S2 etc....

Isn't it scary that children are committing adult crimes, the ones that have been arrested for the recent murder of the school-girl, Mary-Ann are in there early teens.

Yup, 15-16. None of the staff are surprised. His elder brother is already inside on an ABH and his mother is a crackhead, apparently.

Nice.
