SHE SAID SHE WANTED A SNOG BUT I KNEW SHE WANTED A HOUSE AND A CAR AND A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER THINGS

Chris Evans | 08:38 UK time, Saturday, 26 August 2006

So there we were at the bar as the clock struck twelve. Members of the EUROPEAN team were scattered about the place like pillars holding up the temple. All good souls every one of them. I was in the corner, the sails half way down yet not sure if this was truly the place to drop anchor, in the end I got caught and asked someone to marry me. It's always thus, here's what she has to say the next day...

Over breakfast, she looks swell, I won't tell you how but here are her words...

"So, Chris invited me to his room and , erm.. and I did in fact agree to go but then once the lift doors opened, I had a revelation, I'm not quite sure what that revelation was but i decided to cuddle myself instead of him. And i think we'll leave it at that."

Now it's time for the "nearest the pin challenge", so we have to pop off, but we will be back.The guest bloggershave agreed and will be on line soon.

    Good Morning Chris

    To be number 1 blogger of the day is a strange feeling - it's like you've found a buried treasure untouched by human hands .... or maybe not.

    You're particularly cryptic this morning which I've got to say is never good for my head especially on a Saturday morning. As for the lady and her revelation, well as it was the night before a big match I think you and the rest of the team should be pretty glad of that, but any lady that looks "swell" at breakfast I'd guess is always worthy of a proposal.

    Mucho looking forward to the guest bloggers so I'll be back.

    Happy putting

    looks like i'm first to bat or is that drive!
    mange tout mange tout chris you devil you!

    i'd like to take up golf but i can't afford to do it yet so i'll stick to the virtual one instead.

    have a great day the nerves must have gone now!

    blogging off (no pun intended)

    Good arvo, its 'Audes down under',

    Im keeping up with the blogging ,my 3rd this week. Just finished work ........hairdresser to the stars of Perth, WA.

    So the sun is shining, its 24dgrs, end of winter and summer is on the way. A wee homesick today because this weekend is the Nottinghill Carnival and i used to go every year. Great times, good food,:) and a good ol' groove shakin' my booty to the sounds of Reggae, funk, soul, latin and Brazilian beats .............music wooohoo!
    Alas there isnt the same vibe this end so i sit here on City beach my local beach, the sun starting to set in the Indian Ocean, i remember the great times we had with many a friend i went with. 'You cant have it all Audes' i say to myself.....BUT WHY NOT?!

    Anyway talking about golf we played this 9 hole game of golf last week called Supa Golf. Its great as it is geared up for crap golfers like me. A professional golfer invented it so that all the family can play, just enlarged everything, the golf clubs bigger,the ball the size of a tennis ball and the holes alot bigger. Its all so colourful and Noddy like, you even get your own golf trolley with only four clubs and away you go its really cool as the whole family can join in and you dont feel so pressured with people waiting behind you 'coz you know theyre probably crap too. Im back next week to better mi handicap .....par 31 mine 54.

    So all the best for your golf weekend Chris cant watch ya but will hear all about it next week im sure, Adios mi amigos xxxxx Audley out xxx

    Hi Chris,

    I did check the Blog earlier in the week and nothing. Here I am on a Saturday morning having just returned from walking the dogs and voila, you鈥檙e well and truly back!

    Look on the bright side after last night as it could just be the great escape and no reason for being glum at all? After all today is another day and another challenge so get out there and win the nearest the pin and she may just change her mind and tonight could be the night!

    Just remember you are there to pay golf and beat those pesky Americans so no distractions with the opposite sex now keep your mind on the job

    Al the best

    Keith

    P.S . Remember winning is not everything鈥︹︹︹︹︹︹︹..it is far more important than that!

    Blimey! What was all that about? Were you still the worse for wear when you 'blogged on' this morning, or just nervous?

    You caused a lady to have a revelation! That's worth celebrating in itself. Is she joining a convent now? :-)

    Good luck with the golf - hope you have lots of fun - look forward to reading all about it.

    Nearest the pin. For a moment I thought you were talking about ten pin bowling.
    It must be a problem finding true love and not I'm just addicted to love honey (money).
    May I suggest a suitable disguise or perhaps an alais. You could claim everyone mistakes you for Chris Evans in public places.
    Infact I saw someone very much like you on a Camden Market stall once.

    One of the drawbacks of being a famous face I suppose - people keen on you before they even meet you and it must be hard to know whether they'll 'kiss and tell', whether they fancy you because you are you or because you're a star, whether you would have pulled them if you weren't a star (of course YOU would, owing to charm, wit, style and so on!) etc etc. So many more issues than there are for the rest of us!

    Yes, the blog sure is cryptic - title makes it sound as if you, Chris, rejected her whereas the story relates that it was the other way round! She sounds a lovely lady. Better luck next time - maybe she'll have another, more advantageous revelation.

    Not many bloggers today, all busy planting or picking veggies I suppose, or out playing golf. But I'm sure we'll all be watching the golf match.

    Glad you had a fun time, Chris, and congratulations to Team Europe. It looked like everyone had a great laugh all weekend.

    However, 2 points I feel I need to make are:

    1. I thought you were still ginger? You looked very blonde to me on the telly (are you using Sun-In or lemon juice or something?!). Having said that, the 'redness' quota was restored by the end of Saturday, at least facially, due to a lack of sun cream usage (silly boy).

    2. What happened to the guest bloggers then? Or was too much alcohol consumed in the bar?!!

    Enjoy the rest of your time off. It'll fly for you and drag for us, but Stuart is doing a good job as your understudy.

    Oh yeah thanks for the amazing ideas with the eggs and truffles, food is a passion that can create that special evening, so forget the snogging get a pan out, some basil, garlic, tuna, tomatoes and make your own pasta.

    I was watching the golf overthe weekend (first time everand it is very addictive) And since I have been reading the blog, me like so many others, get to feel like we know you. Whilst seeing you on the screen I realised just how bizarre this was. Here was little old me watching you and supporting you like a friend, and you are non the wiser that I even exist. I suddenly feel so incredibly small. Then i came to wonder, do you even read the comments, have you ever been tempted to reply to any? Does it ever freak you out that there are people reading your thoughts, listening to you, you have entered there lives and you have no clue who they are and no little about them, and they are all so sure if you knew them you would be their bestfriend!!

    Seems rather strange to be asking questions that wont actually be answered!!!

    I must say we who were watching the TV were given a little more information than was called for in my opinion anyway. Whilst I am pleased you won Ian Wright, Wright Wrights socks the info on your preference of underwear was just over the line for the day time TV audience. (But it did make me laugh) :-))

    That apart I was entertained all day and will be looking to buy tickets and come along in person next year. Bruce (The golf-father) was great for one so young and all of the team were a credit to Europe although the Americans were gracious in defeat.

When the ball hit a spectator and bounced off into a brilliant position I clapped so hard. Ant and Dec were brilliant too.

    Well this is to ponder over this fine evening as one watch's the International Space Station passing over head at about 9 15p/m in the wsw sky and setting in the ese.


    right time to go.

    Good Evening All fellow bloggers/bloggees

    Have to say the bank holiday weekend seems to have caught most of us unawares and we've not been blogging.... either that or we blog whilst working, which would explain alot!

    Anyhow, I caught a bit of the fair Mr Evans yesterday afternoon, whilst lounging on my sofa with nowt better to do! (had better hastily explain that all my BH plans feel through on Thursday evening! DOH!)

    I fear the blogmeister and the "alledged" guest bloggers may be suffering from the morning after in the only way an over 30 could! even tho 'tis 8.30pm! (well it would be rude not to!).

    Rachel (Blue Angel) - I can still see your post from lunchtime - so ruling out poltergeists in my laptop - I'm guessing they put it back after they realised it didn't really say anything other than the truth! Men really don;t know what they are missing out on!

    Linda (no.66) I agree that butterfly stage is probably the best feeling along with that first brush of the lips!

    Dot (no.51) can I still slip some more in then or have we been sussed? Darn it! I hate ironing as much as I hate walnuts!

    Anyhow guys, 'til the next time keep a good thought

    Poor old Iain. Cracking his balls all over the place without a thought for the older ones in the crowd - strange how he lost his form - he does so well in those commercials, don't you think?

Darling, I've told you before - one sniff of Bulger Driver and that sort of person is off and chasing ones AEC, before one can say, 'Please don't do that I'm Sesquipedalophobic'
    Next time, retire straight to bed with a milky drink and a good book - talking of which.

    You'll be pleased to learn that cousin Sebastian is well on the mend. His stitches come out tomorrow and he should be up and shoe shopping within the next week - providing that he doesn't ride a bicycle or read Germaine Greer's, 'The Whole Women' unless accompanied by a trained counsellor

    Hi Chris

    Mmmmmmwah!

    What a fantastic morning it is here in Dorset. Lovely and sunny, although, with an ever so slight chill in the air; that little clue to let us know we're in the dying moments of summer. I guess by now you are on that walking holiday that you were talking about. Did you get new boots? Are they rubbing yet?

    We walked around some of the fields near our home last night: just a few miles; gone are the endless carpets of corn, which have been replaced with rough stubble and the ever hopeful weed, making the most of the sunlight, now that its dominant, masterful, majestic neighbour has been cut down to size.
    We sat on a hilltop overlooking Dorchester as the sun set, making a beautiful silhouette of Maiden Castle and just looked, for what seemed like ages, at the splendour of it all. Walking back home hand in hand, we even managed to steal a quick snog in the woods. It's really special when you can be in the arms of another person, and nothing else in the world matters.

    Getting back to snogging .. yes LL2TF # 71 very few men ever get it right....although my husband is learning...... my best snogs over the years though, have been with other women...... I still have fond memories of a chance meeting with a gorgeous woman called Zoe ..... in a nightclub in Norwich......... Gosh! Did we get it on................

    anyway ...
    Dot - i remember spangles the sweets if that is what you mean! - i also remember doing something really bad and stealing a packet of spangles from the post office - if someone dared me to i would - so naughty! i was only 8 at the time. i have not stolen anything since only all the herbal teas you get in hotels and biscuits cause i like them!
    i used to love spangles the red flavoured ones and do you remember pacers the white and green sweets and the chocolate called 'cabana' not sure if spelt correctly but they were really yummy. the choc had coconut and red cherries in it - so scrummy

    i think we should definately meet up before Christmas bloggers- what do you think? it would be a right laugh. then we will all know what we look like and when we blog we would know who is who and i am always trying to guess what you all look like, as the more you read the messages the more you feel you know about the bloggers - if you know what i mean.

This was the thought that crossed my mind last night, while running around a netball court, chasing girls 20 years younger than me, in the pouring rain. I have now had to buy a larger sports bag to accommodate the bottles of oxygen I must lug with me whenever I play and my son repeatedly reminds me that I am getting older and should take care of my brittle bones (he's 8 and I'm not!), but should I give up, or can I count it towards growing old disgracefully???

    Re Snogging,
    I was 10 when I was inflicted by my first snog.

    I was on holiday and a 14 year old boy asked very nicely for a snog, which all in all was very good for a first time, especially since I had never considered boys as a past-time. However it all went to ratchet when after a good couple of minutes snogging, he says, "Can I cop a feel of your t***."

    It was about 8 years before I got back to it after that!

    Hi Chris and all,


    Mmmmmmmmmwah! ( you'll have to share that around)... ;)

    Gosh it's quiet today. What a day so far .......... I've been in the mother and father of all meetings this morning :- turn me over, I'm done on this side! I recieved a good grilling. Pub lunch! Now back in the office trying to remember what the meeting was about. :)

    I've had a peek at the sweets website; there are some fantastic memories on there......... Walnut Whips..... yummy ..... I loved those when I was young. They were a real treat.

    Each Thursday on our way home from school , we'd call into my Great Grandma's house for the "Thursday Shilling" , sounds great! Yep: but it did have a down-side. We had to have a spoon of Cod-Liver-Oil and a spoon of Black Treacle and Brimstone( Sulphur powder) in exchange for the Shilling. Not quite sure what all that stuff did for me but it was something we had to endure, if we wanted the reward. There was a corner shop, just down the road from my Great Grandma's house and it sold "everything" and I mean "everything". Well; to child, it sold everything ... ...sweets and toys... so this was the first place we would rush to, with our shilling. We would always come out with a huge bag of, 4-a-penny chews and 2-a-penny chocolate tools and the biggy was always a lucky bag ( the late 60s early 70s equivalent of a Kinder Egg) only much much better. They had sweets and a small (usually) Plastic Toy ( junk) that turned out to be of no entertainment value at all ... and that was when the toy ( what ever it was) worked. ( usually they didn't) ..... It all went pear shaped with decimalisation when the value of a shilling was decimated......... Oh and then my Great Gran died which kind of,..... infact...... completely, put and end to that weekly treat.

    Dare I mention snogging again... I see my earlier blog has been removed...... again .. or at least I cannot see it from this end..maybe it's me...........

    Pinapple rock sounds like something I should be introduced to. :)

    Rachel - as entertaining as always. I would expect nothing less from a Dorset girl - my other half is from Poole and is just the most wonderful person in the world! There must be something in the water down there (alas I'm a northern boy).

    You must officially be the best-known of Chris's blog-ettes, especially after the snogging blog...

    So what has Chris been up to with his absence from the blog??? ANY IDEAS GANG??? An afternoon could be really livened up with some witty thoughts...

    Anyhows, sure we'll all win through. Rachel, took up your suggestion, clicked on your name and was greeted by you looking gorgeous. FAR too young to remember walnut whips...

    Hey everyone!

    Gosh, I remember my first kiss at school and I'm talking thirty years ago! It was with Tommy White and we made a right pair - both gingers! He had the whitest skin you've ever seen - he was transparent. Wonder what ever happened to him ???

    Sherbet dips were my favourite. And cola cubes and pineapple chunks which we used to buy on the way to school from the corner shop. When I was about five, my Dad used to send me to the corner shop to get half an ounce of Golden Virginia - it would never happen now!

    I am still not used to not listening to Chris at 5 :-( reading all of the blogs is a big help I do have to say as there is some real nonsense written on here that just keeps making me smile. So thanks to you all! :-)

    Chris will be back soon as we all know but I have learnt do much this week even without him.

    How to snog, which I will try out on my wife once she changes my name back to Keith from Geeeroff! (Rachel your snog blog 56 has now gone so only memories, I am pleased I read it more than once鈥..just so that I could remember *cough *cough* what it said of course) How can we complain that a post has been removed? :-(

    I have been reminded of many of my childhood sweets, spangles, bulls eyes, black jacks鈥︹..yum, yum I remember my father coming home with a curly wurly every Friday night, that was a treat as we were a poor but happy home. :-)

    This blogging is addictive and I find myself having to read it several times a day to see what is new in blog land.

    Don't you find that a snog is invariably ten times more exciting when it's with someone you shouldn't be with...?..not that I would know of course (just incase MrFeline's reading...Whoops!)

    Nah seriously, I'm harking back to my late teens when a night out wasn't complete without a random snog or six....Ah, to be 17 again...I'd love to be transported back - just for one more Snogfest...!

    All those sweeties are making me drool.

    I remember those really old dusty shops with shelf upon shelf of big old jars full of goodies. I used to dream about what I could spend my money on. You could buy 1lb if you were loaded, 1/2lb if you were feeling generous, 1/4 lb for normal usage and 1/8lb if had no money and needed a fix.

    I loved cola cubes and pineapple cubes. Can you remember cherry cola drops. What about rhubarb and custard boiled sweets and murray mints. It takes me right back. I loved chewy toffee nuts which were rock hard but if you sucked the choc for ages, they were just de-lish.

    I remember mine - it was by the squash courts in a sports centre on teenage sportsnight. Got good value for my 50p that night! Only lasted for a few mins, and I avoided him after.

    Re childhood sweets, I didn't then, and still don't have a sweet tooth. However, I do remember that one of my favorite things was an ice cream, in a plastic, cone shaped container, with a ball of bubble gum at the bottom. I remember the taste vividly!

    Sweets and snogs were combined in my case from a very young age.... Fullers on Princes Street in Edinburgh sold wonderful sweets called Candy Kisses! They were round toffees with curly wurly bits (rather like a swiss roll), and you could choose which colour of curly-wurly bits you wanted - these gave the flavour.
    Probably replaced now by toffee eclairs.
    Fullers is long gone, probably replaced by a Tartan Gift Shop.

    On the subject of old sweets, I used to love Spangles and Pacers, slightly newer sweets now no longer available like Mintoes (advertised by Michael Barrymore with the tag line 'they're all white but some are blue'). I agree that Curly Wurly and Wagon Wheels are smaller these days, or is it just when we were little we thought they were huge? Again, life's little mysteries!

    Hi all,

    Spiders!!! Well: one spider in particular. Last night when I got into my car, I noticed, a spider's web on my door mirror. There was a huge Shield Bug caught in the web. Being a bit too much the way... ....women can be..... when it comes to spiders, and all things creepy crawly; I thought, it would blow away once I'd got going, so, just left it there. Before I'd started the engine , the spider made an appearance ; it was tiny .. really small ... minute, even ... we're talking about, a very small spider. ( Where did all that web come from?) Anyway, I thought to myself .. you aren't ever going to get the better of that huge Shield Bug , which was still wriggling around in the web. The spider set to work, and before I'd left the car park, the Shield Bug was ..........well.... it had stopped moving.... ( I'm not really an expert on the vital signs of insects) ... but I assumed, that it was dead. The spider seemed quite determined to pull its hearty meal, inside my door mirror... so, I speeded up .... in no-time at all the Bug was flapping about in the wind, looking like it would fall off at any moment... yey....... but it didn't. :( I stopped at some traffic lights... as quick as a flash the spider came out and wound in the bug until it was jammed between the edge of the mirror and the housing the mirror sits in. It was trying in a cartoon-style way to push the bug through a gap that was quite clearly .. way too small..... four legs jammed against the bug and the other four pushing against the plastic surround... I could almost hear it straining.......the spider carried on repeatedly pushing and then stopping for a breather as I slowly went through the village... then back out on the open road ... I thought ... just how fast will I have to go to get this thing to blow away... well let's just say, I ran out bottle, long before the spider was willing to let go......although the bug and the spider, did appear to fall off at one point but the feisty little fella had a safety rope of some sort and simply climbed up and back to his hiding place behind the mirror as soon as I slowed down again.. Doh! I was getting annoyed now...... I arrived at home, got out of the car, shut the door and using a carefully selected very-long twig from my hedge, knocked the bug to the ground. Yes! See: I'm not scared of creepy crawlies at all, I thought triumphantly as I sat eating my tea. This morning ... the bug is back, jammed in the gap down the edge of my mirror. Say what you like about spiders ....... they don't give up easily!

    howdy bloggers, happy happy friday.

    When I was a papergirl many moons ago, I witnessed a mammoth fight to the death between a spider and a wasp. This was one of those medium sized speckly spiders;the wasp had flown into its web which was stretched across a bush next to the door I was delivering a newspaper too. I was transfixed, the spider lunged out and despite the wasp stinging it franticaly and repeatedly, the spider held on whizzing it around and spinning a coccon of web around it. Spider 1 wasp 0. amazing stuff. My favourite spiders are those tiny spotty ones that jump when you touch the back of them. Neat. Hate those big ones with red knees that eat birds......they are scary, fortunately they don't live here.

Progress and progress, based on Chris's snoggy one in this case.

    Note the blog format has changed. When I clicked on the comments bit at the bottom of the blog, I was invited to make one, did not see all the others. Have to get in by clicking on 'recent comments' on the right now. Why is that I wonder? Another of life's mysteries.

    Good Morning Chris,

I did say No at first but the next day we did meet up and this time next week I will be a married women, so chris, i am hoping that you didnt take No for an answer and she did cuddle up to you.

    saturday!! and my day of gardening has gone down the pan as it is pissing with rain here! party at my house as lovely hyusband and kids are off to see the Scotland game - just me and mydog and..................................................more ironing!!

    No point in doing housework as the builders just make a mess again - re my blog of yesterday my computer is fried (due to a build up of buiders dust apparently)! but the lovely repair shop people did retriev all my work - I will now be working on a backupeveryday system! Hooray! the thought of redrawing all that work was horrendous!

    talking of insects yesterdAY, last night (being Friday) I decided to treat myself to -tget this - livin life to the full, watching Muppers Christmas Carol with the kids and LH then, wait for it , cleaned the oven - otherwise the fire brigade were gonna come a callin! As I was scrubbin away with the brillo pads (Mr Muscle makes me wheeze)! a huge daddy longlegs flew in, as chased it around the oven with brillo soapy sud hands it flew into a big pile of brillo suds and got stuck - there it died a soapy (and crusty - you should have seen the oven) death. had to fish the poor thing out and put it in the bin! Death by brillo suds! Yuk

    Anyway - oven now clean (ish) and off to start the ironing and watch Amelie (again)!

    Happy saturday bloggers - we got the Corpse Bride to watcht 2nite with family and popcorn - yeha!

    hope Mr Evans is getting better weather!
    love Dot

    my snog got me into a whole heap of wonderful trouble my now partner and i used to work together for a few years, we always got on well he would always be the person i would be abel to talk to and mess about with.
    needless to say after on christmas party he leans in for a snog (anyone who knows my other half will know he is not the type to make the first move or any other move). unfortunatly i was still married to someone else at the time work was a bit tense the following day we stayed close firends not to talk about it again but realising there was a spark there about 18 months later the relationship broke down for me and i was once agin a free person.

    To cut a long story short we have now been together for four years and will be having a baby in around three weeks

    hi fellow blogettes,

    I'm just back from a week in sunny (?) Suffolk and I see Chris has made no new contributions, i feel quite embarassed at how disappointed i feel! All week I have been quoting him to my husband and he keeps saying "Chris who?" and I have to explain its Chris Evans, my new friend!

    I an gutted to have missed Rachel's snogging blog, it must have been pretty bad if they keep deleting it. Maybe she can tell those of us who missed it all about it at the bloggers' Christmas party!

    Well I'd better go and chuck something in the oven for the kids' tea; Hubby's buggered off on a lad's night out on the Norfolk coast so its just me and my two monkeys.

    I've really enjoyed catching up with the blogs, look forward to reading what you've been up to soon Chris xx

I get the impression it's mainly female... who I'm beginning to think I know... amazing...I like it... it's like a little added section of my life that is just so self indulgent & that's nice...

    Hi everyone.......Rachel I have just read your spider blog , what a laugh. I just had a weird experience..I was downloading McAfee anti-virus when a beetle crawled up my moniter! talk about de-bugging!! lol made me jump out my skin. Had to get my other half to remove it though as it was pretty big. For any bloggers who live in the South West there is a brilliant real 'old fashioned' sweet shop in the old market in Bristol, it sells most of the sweets you have all mentioned in jars by the 1/4 lb (well 100 gms) though I didn't notice any spangles. Well worth a visit.. I had sherbert pips. Cya tomorrow when hopefully we will have a new blog from Chris!

    Take care, Bev x

    Re Bev D's comment about spangles

    Spangles Fruit flavoured square boiled sweets 鈥 that came in a tube. They were made by Mars, sadly they were discontinued in the early 80's but they were re-introduced due to popular demand in the 90's. Only to be withdrawn again a short while later. I don鈥檛 think these will be back on the shelves again. S.I.P. 鈥 (Sweets In Peace)

    However if you can't get to a good oldfashioned sweet shop there's always the web!
    Bagofsweets.com is a fab site with something for everyone.

    Hope y'all had a good weekend & Chris, you had a Great holiday!

    Hello Chris and the blog gang!

    I have dipped my toe into the blog a bit ago but not had time to come back and have a jolly good splosh around! Well, what a blog lot to return to! Snogging, sweeties and spiders!

    Rachel, I've read your guide to snogging on your website and agree, nothing harmless in that! In fact, it's been so long since I've snogged it reminded me of some things not to do! A problem that Christophe would need to watch out for are those glasses. My goodness, it's not good when you snog a man/woman and you're both wearing glasses, the clash of lenses is really not good and you always end up with smeary lenses too! However, snogs tend to creep up on me and I never expect them so tend to have my glasses on! Don't wear contact lenses as I can't bear the idea of shoving my fingers anywhere near my eyes! I love the idea of an illicit snog! There's a bloke I know that I wouldn't mind having one with at the moment... hmmm... Anyway Luke, sounds like you don't need advice on snogging I reckon you can do well enough... however, if anyone would like a revision class... ;-)

    Curly Wurlies and the other sweets like that have gone absolutely TINY! I look with horror at the price and then the size... seems totally unfair! Spangles were good sweets weren't they?

    Rachel, your spider story was a scream! Loved it so much. I hate spiders as well and have this thing of finding them in my room late at night and not wanting to disrupt the household I scream quietly whispering "help!" in the quietest voice! Then run around trying to find a suitable cup to put over the top of it and a piece of paper to slide underneath. Then I battle with my curtains and the blind (why the hell do I have curtains AND a blind? I know I like to be plunged into darkness at night but when disposing of a fiersome spider it's usless!) open my bedroom window which squeaks like fury and fling the spider out whilst apologising profusely for disturbing it, potentially hurting it or killing it! I am actually typing this with my buttocks clenched at the idea of them! ugh!

    Dot, fear not! I love ironing (I'm bonkers though!) so if you're finding the piles are getting too much or that the demands are too high, then just call on me! I'll happily do a few shirts, sheets, blouses or anything else that you don't fancy.

    I don't think I'd qualify for the bloggers party as I don't do enough to be in the gang, but I think that it's a must, do it somewhere central - didn't one of the guys say that they were in the Midlands? it's relatively easy to get to! Then I think you need to do a little website of pictures (like Rachel's pictures!) to show what a fab time you had for all those who are fresh to this blogging thing!

    Sleep well and have a lovely new fresh week bloggers and hope that Chris is perky and fresh from his walk on the wildside wherever he was!

    Love
    Clare

    Many congrats Rachel (3 weeks to go) and thanks for shoiwing me the site entry. I always find as a bloke ladies have to show me the way (he he).
    Anyway heres one I think everyone should try at this time of year. The spider in the wingmirror is a brilliant distraction and if you can get one on the windshield its even better. I have got up to 50mph before the infernal insect has blow off but if you keep at a steady 48mph it will stay with you all day (this was on the windshield by the way). I guess no speed will knock them from the mirror cause they can just pop in and out as they like. Can we compare notes please as to whose spider can hang on longest and highest speed, as I said mine has done 50mph, can anyone beat this?

    On the building saga, our builders have disappeared - it's like the Marie Celeste ......spooky!

    Pomegranete juice - it sounded good on air but after reading Barry's blog this morning, thank goodness I do not have the equipment to make it into juice - Barry you have my sympathy - why not have a chocolate eclair instead?

    Hi Chris ... ( welcome back. xx) and all the bloggers ...... I hope you all had a good weekend.

    Mmmmmmwah!

    Firstly: to avoid confusion .. congratulations to the other Rachel ( 3 weeks to go- Gosh! Nervous? Don't worry, once you get to the panting stage, it's all over pain-wise) ... Yep: there's two of us Martin :) My wedding was just three months ago.

    Well...... this weekend brought with it, a DIY disaster. No, we didn't paint the lounge pink or install an avocado bathroom suite, in fact, we didn't even finish stripping the old wall-paper off before disaster struck and brought the entire plan to a crashing halt. Friday night, we got to a point, stripping the wallpaper from the landing area, where we thought, it won't take too long to finish this up in the morning.... so we cleared up , picked up the dust sheets and I hoovered the floor. It's a big hoover so I thought ... I'll just leave this here cos I'll need it again in the morning......... bed time arrived: so, off we went .........some time in the night, I woke up and I thought, I'll just pop to the bathroom... Chris... ( That's my Chris .. not the Chris).... was sound asleep so, I thought to myself ..... don't switch the light on, you know what he's like if woken in the night (grumpy bear)..... well, what happened next ..must have woken the entire street ...... yep; I'd kicked the hoover in full stride and caught the "piggy" that "had none" second toe in from the left on my left foot.... I collapsed in howling fit of wailing and tears and of course woke Chris up. Some "time" later I was calm enough to go back to bed ..... when I woke again in the morning I had two pains ... one in my bladder; the size of a beach ball cos I'd not made it to the bathroom in the night and my toe , the size and colour of a ripe plum....The rest of the weekend was filled with pain, suffering and of course the odd call for sympathy, when Chris would have to stop stripping wall-paper to make me a cup of tea........ :)

    More later......... I'm at work ... my left foot is throbbing from size 6 to size 15 ...... hmmmm maybe I should have stayed at home........


    I'm thinking about the problems associated with glasses and snogging ... just looking around the office now for a likely candidate to discuss/suggest/try-out possible methods.....

    Keep smiling

    Barry Leighton Mr165 posting. I am so sorry for your pomegranate experiences! As far as I know the guy did say to just chuck the fruit in, seeds and all, and whiz it all up in the blender thing. I haven't done that because I'm a bit of a lazy bum but have found a really nice new pomegranate drink in my health food shop. It's by Biotta (I think) and is in a glass bottle and is really nice. It's the full juice and, I believe (if memory serves me well), organic. Try this one instead and give your blender to a family member as a cheap Christmas present! ;)

    After the spiders were mentioned last night I had to contend with three HUGE ones in my house! They seem to have legs the length of the M1 and were running at speeds which were worthy of gaining a bronze at 100metres sprint! Martin, as yet I haven't sussed out how fast I have to go before I rid my car of spiders on the windscreen, mainly cause I have my eyes closed! ;)

    Good Monday Bloggers,

    I did not know if Chris would have blogged this morning but I know now. :-(

    I trust we all have had a good weekend and feel refreshed for the week ahead?

    My weekend plans changed somewhat from a spot of gardening and football watching as I bought my son a car and insured it so guess what I had to endure a weekend of white knuckle rides. (No spiders on the wing mirrors, not that we went fast enough for them to come off even if they had been there) Some people pay good money and visit the likes of Alton Towers for the thrills I got for free. He has been taking lessons in a new shiny car and I put him in an old car with no ABS, power steering or radio so the only noise in the car was the engine noise and my screams! He has a test booked fro 12 Oct and he needs the practice and funnily enough I am very busy this week now and his mother will have to take over the passenger duties鈥..phew! Do not get me wrong I will be very pleased when he passes his test; it is just that I am not a very good passenger at the best of times and not normally of a nervous disposition, in fact if I was to tell you of the last time I felt that nervous we would be talking of snogging again :-)

    Still just over 5 hours to Chris and the drive time show. I think I may stay and listen from my office (just in case my son is on the road) working late again all week:-)

    Happy first day back at school everybody. The flags are raised high and you can hear the trumpets from miles around.

    It was one very...long...summer holiday!

    Sure, I will miss the lazy mornings whilst the girls eat dry cereal watching cbeebies but I will not miss the noise, mess and pointless arguments.

    I have now got to dig my way through the mess which is our house and of course the piles of washing and ironing. I still have a toddler at home but she will be going to pre-school 4 times a week from tomorrow and doesn't make half as much mess and noise on her own.

    I am really sad as I keep checking to see if Chris has blogged already today. Tried at 7am and kept on trying to now. I need a life and fast.
