NO SWEAT, NO REALLY, NO SWEAT.

Chris Evans | 10:13 UK time, Thursday, 6 September 2007

The finger is well on the mend, the one the Mrs. allowed to have a fight with the nasty end of an electric whisk. The all new super duper finger fixing, skin grafting superglue is doing it's job however until further notice she's not allowed...

... to let it sweat.

So, no gym, no getting too near the aga and a temporary sussation of celebration of the nuptuals... oh well actually not exactly, calmer activities still cleared as long as they don't include the usual GINGER PRINCE marathon sessions that tend to inspire rivlets of perspiration to run like rivers in spate down the natural grooves and crevices of the highly sculptured form of the new Mrs. E.

She really is the bomb !

Wow, I think I've gone a little light headed.

I need to go and lie down.

CLP 2007.

P.S. Were the prok pies really as good as they sounded ?

Yes they blimin' well were.

    No chance that Mrs E. had her accident due to losing concentration whilst suffering from physical exhaustion then?

    TOP TIP:
    I always find a good hand whisk does the job just as well - and proves a much safer option, eventually achieving the exact same results!

    Bingo.. What were you doing in Mc Donalds car park? I thought from the traffic report you were stuck in traffic at Ellesmere Port. Was it a romantic rendezvous?

    Missy. The date never happened! Love your Woolly bags. But if if rains, with all my make-up inside, I could end up dragging a six foot long hand bag home on the bus with me.

    Pavarroti gone. What a shame.

    Good morning CLP and blog peeps.

    Heavens to betsy, CLP ..... cold showers all round mefinx. For some unknown reason whilst reading your blog today my mind wandered to that dark, dark corner of my mind reserved for me and Russell Brand. Phew!

    Anyhoooooo, moving on ...

    Chubby Club weigh in last night and I managed to lose 2.5lbs this week. Hurrah!! Seems I'm doing something right at last. Well and truly chuffed to billyo with that result.

    Got a challenging weekend ahead on the diet front tho - our local BEER FESTIVAL on Friday night and a bbq on Saturday. I've decided to drink halves instead of pints at the beer fest!

    Hells' Kitchen: I think Marco PW is fantastic. What a man! He can come and poach my eggs any day. I think Jim Davidson summed it up really well on the first night when asked why he was there by MPW, he just simply replied "it's a 2 week cookery lesson that a million quid couldn't buy me". Nuff said. Great stuff.

    The Restaurant was good too - Mr Diva and I guessed who the bottom 3 would be. Looking forward to tonight's challenge. I know who I want to go but won't say anything in case any bloggers watch the repeat over the weekend. One thing I will say tho ... the man with the drums: is he a Hobbit????

    Ordered a new washing machine this morning - it's coming on Sunday so only 3 nights of sleepless stress worrying I've orderd the wrong thing or measured the gap wrong!!

    Bingo - heard you get name-checked by Sally Traffic yesterday, you traffic groupie you!!

    missy - lovin' your bags. Let me know when they go on sale: can you do purple/lilac/pink combo knitting please??

    Debbie - well done for yesterday, you were very brave.

    HL - if you're out there, thinking of you and look forward to hearing from you soon hun!

    Righteo, coffee time (again!!)

    Back laters.

    Please get rid of that pork pie picture, I'm still detoxing and it's making my mouth water. Have any of you Norfolk folk tried the lovely pork pies from Swafield farm shop? They are so scrummy.

    Debbie - I'm so glad you managed to get through your speech. I'm sure you did a marvellous job and of course you were shaking, this was for your lovely nan and mum - so emotional. I hope you are o.k. today.

    He has always been a bit snobby towards my family and of course yesterday gave him plenty of ammo. I managed to ignore his comments last night but today, different story. The red mist has descended and I need to calm down a little.

    He made a rude comment about my family including my mum within it today. I just can't calm down now. Worried that I may be a little overprotective of mum at the moment so perhaps I should just avoid him. Or do I confront him, oh I just don't know!

    Had a great night out last night, 8 of us met up for a drink in a town just outside Norwich. We all work together week in week out. My jaw aches today from laughing so much as stories were told and general merriment was had by all. Not much planned today, MrsW is at work so it's me and the ankle-biters.

    First week at high school hasn't gone well at all, although everyone has been lovely, he's been breaking down in class because he's in such a state, just worrying about getting to each lesson on time etc. Yr 7 Co-ordinator phoned me yesterday, really nice chap, they're helping him but I think he just needs to get through the first few weeks. When he went off today he looked terrible, white and shaking, just because he doesn't know where the English room is (he's got a map which we looked at earlier). I'm being very patient and calm but I'm running out of ideas. I wish he wouldn't keep bursting into tears but he doesn't seem to help himself. After seeing that little boy's funeral on the news last night I can't help thinking how lucky my little boy is; but you can't say something like that to an 11 year old can you?

    Debbie - have you tried explaining to your chap that it hurts your feelings when he makes comments about your family? Maybe you need to talk about it at another time, when you're not feeling so emotional. The whole in law thing is a bit of a nightmare isn't it? Does anyone have a really good relationship with their in-laws?

    Gingembre - Whereabouts are you on duty this weekend?

    Morning all.

    Debbie - I think you and me should get together hun! Me and Mr Diva have NEVER argued in all our 13 years together (maybe the number 13 is a sign???) but this week has been really hard, resulting in blubbing into the pillow from yours truly on more than one occassion. He went back to work this week after 6 weeks off after an unexpected op (as most of you know) and he has been really grumpy all week. Added to the issue is that the cat (mine when she does anything wrong, ours when she's behaving!) has woken us up in the middle of the night 3 times this week by bringing live mouses into the house. She has never done this before but now its 3 times in 6 days -Ughhhhhhh!!

    So - sleepless nights thanks to MY cat, himself being tired and broody and me trying to hold it together like a mad thing. Many, many tears were shed at 4.30 am this morning in Diva Towers and I feel that sometimes he doesn't want me anymore, which hurts big time.

    Let's see what the weekend holds - surely things can't get any worse?

    We're off to a beer festival tonight so will be amongst friends. Ditto with a BBQ tomorrow.

    Thinking of you Debbie - hope it all works out.

    MfR - spot on about the hobbit and Minnie Mouse. Back o'the net! Who's next, d'ya think? And who's gonna win. I have my early faves .....

    TGI the end of the week!

    Debbie - I'm so sorry for you. It's not an easy time you're going through and to feel you have no support from your chap, in fact to feel that he is throwing the boot in makes things ten times worse. However, you might not be able to see things terribly clearly at the moment. Is there anyone who you can talk to who will be able to give you the support you need and deserve? They may also be able to throw a bit of clarity onto your relationship to see where the way forward is.

    Chin up girlie!

    Whoa Christoffe. Turn that bloody heatin' off.

    Ginger Prince an' Sweaty Betty's too much for me what with the hot flushes an' all.

    You will be glad to know that the cousin Barry's missus is also on the mend and back at home in the said psychopath's tender care. He sent me a lovely text this morning saying she's still a bit sore so his breakfast was late but shit happens.

    Now Debbie. Tell 'im go play with 'is marbles.

    From the sound of your hubby he needs a lesson in Real Life. Maybe he should spend some time with our Barry shootin' squirrels and avoidin' authority of any kind. No time for snootiness around him.

    In fact where I'm from we don't stand for any chap with ideas above 'is station. Snootiness used to be rife in the circles the Dear Departed Father used to mingle in; namely the Rugby Union circles. Full of Toffs and Army Major types.

    And I am reminded of the time one of the snootier London clubs came Oop North, when Eric had to take the Top Brass under his wing. One of the officials' wives was an elegant, stylish lady in a fur coat and a white turban, who spent the afternoon looking like she'd just eaten a lemon and preening herself in front of the mirrored doors. When it was time to go, Eric, having successfully entertained everybody in his usual style, shook hands with the Major, and then warmly bid his wife Farewell with the words,

    "It was lovely to see you, June. And I hope your head soon gets better."

    Bless 'im.

    Happy ARF everyone, Have a fab weekend, It's absolutely glorious here on the North Wales coast, hope it's the same wherever you are.

    30 days to our Mummy and Baby holiday in Singapore, the daughter is beside herself with excitement and so am I.

    Have to get me jabs though. I think. Hepatitis A, Rabies and Cabbage Root Fly.

    Good Morning and it's Friday!

    Debbie - I have to say I think your husband was very insensitive, at the very least, to say something about your family at this time. Of course you were right to confront him. I know this will sound a wee bit "out there" but I wonder if he was a little jealous about you delivering the speech at the funeral. Is it possible he felt a little put out and perhaps excluded? Just a thought - I am trying to think back over family funerals we have had and I would say my husband didn't deal with them well either. It will all calm down again, but I think you were so right to let your husband know how you felt.

    Cheryl - pet lamb! And so unusual for you and Mr Diva. You know, it could be that his operation affected him more than even he knew, and getting back to work is always difficult after something like this. Also, don't forget you are now on a new eating pattern and this is probably affecting you too!

    I don't want to give the impression that I "know everything" but these two instances I have experienced and thought I would let you know I do understand.

    Hope you both have a good weekend - it will all get back to normal!

    Hi all, bit of a poo day so far. Was having a lovely walk thro' the city and spending money as it's payday today when I bumped into a friend who's sister isn't very well. I had visited her last week in hospital and she hardly recognised me (known each other for 25yrs), anyway her latest assessment was yesterday and she could have as little as 3 weeks left to live. I was so sad I just turned the buggy around and have come home.
    Treasure each day my friends x x

    Em - I work the north (Sprowston, Thorpe etc) side of the city but that doesn't actually mean anything most shifts?? Last week I ended up in Diss most of the night. Doesn't take too long with the 'nee naws' on!

    Debbie - I hope today is panning out better than yesterday for you. The jealousy suggestion could have a bit of truth behind it? Only you will know how your 'better' half works?

    To all bloggers/blogettes, have a great weekend, the sun is out and life's too short not to enjoy yourselves.

    HL - I understand that you're not too well? Speedy recovery to you and hope to hear from you soon x

    Em M - what a shame your son is having such a tough time. High School is daunting for most children as it is just so different. In my daughter's school, they assign 5th and 6th year students to help the 1st year students find their way around. Is it possible the school could do this for your son? Also, surely he is not the only one feeling like this.

    And I totally get your frustration over this - eventually we do run out of ideas! I am sure that you will see a huge difference next week and in no time, he will adjust - it's just really hard for him right now.

    Gingembre - terrible news for you to hear today. It's so awful when this happens to someone we know - it seems unreal, doesn't it? You are so right - every day is precious and I really do try to remember that, but of course we are always sidetracked by the rubbish we have to deal with. Just try to remember the good times, that's all we can do.

    Well what a morning. Just back to work after a week off and as I am the only one working in this office (another story for another time!) I have had piles and piles of paperwork and post to sort through. Time for a break......

    Darling husband went off to work without a kiss or goodbye this morning. I have spoken to him a few times to test the air and things are still a little strained. I really don't want to have a horrible weekend so I must 'bite my tongue' for the boys sake.

    At the funeral he didn't mix at all. He and my sister's partner just stood and chatted amongst themselves, they looked like bouncers or something. I wondered actually if he was put out that he didn't have my complete attention all day. I was talking to cousins and family that I haven't seen for years, he has met them before so he shouldn't have worried about talking to anyone.

    Thanks for the comments they do make sense. If all else fails, yep I can poke him in the eye. Both even.

    Clodagh, yet again thanks for the laugh!

    Cheryl, hope things perk up for you this weekend. It sounds like you are both tense for different reasons and tiredness does horrible things to people too. I think I'd be tempted to keep the cat in for a night!

    Em M, hang in there, it really does get easier. It's good that the school are being so supportive so quickly. Bless him, I really hope he has a good day today.

    Gingembre, what sad news, so sorry to hear that. You actually made think to myself that life really is too short and I just sent my beloved a message telling him that I loved him. Don't know what to expect back from him though......

    EmM - your poor boy!! It's a hugely stressful time for them. You'd think the school would be more sympathetic. Is there anyone he can meet up with from his class on his way to school so that they can go in together?? Or suggest to the Year 7 Co-ordinator that they have someone at an "information desk" by the entrance to just remind kids how to get to where they need to go ... just for the first half term or so, till they've found their feet!

    Also, if he gets there maybe 10 mins earlier than he needs to, then he doesn't have to worry about being late, he'll have a bit more time to find his room.

    And keep reassuring him that in a couple of weeks' time he'll be able to find his classrooms blindfolded!!!

    I really sympathise with you both cos my daughter had the same problems when she went up to 'big school'. It's hard not to get frustrated with them, but they're so scared to ask for help when they're new. Just try and keep reassuring him that it will all be fine, and hat as Chrissie says he deffo won't be the only one who feels like this. All the newbies will be anxious, it's just that some of them will hide it better than others and some of them will have an established support network already ...

    Good luck and ((())) to your boy.

    You can find it on You Tube under Gimme Gimme entitled "A womans hidden treasure".Failing thats have a look at Jim Carey's work out.
