They've got a couple in my gym, CLP. Never dared try one for fear of falling off in front of everyone and doing myself a mischief!

Sandy balls?

All very well and groovy Christophe, but for those of us with ickle tiny teeny houses, surely balls with sand means you can't deflate them for storage when the need arises ....... ?

What about filling your balls with water. Then drain them when you need the space. Also doubles as a thirst-quenching device when at the jim-nay-seeeum!

Geeniarse me!!

Cheryl The Diva xxxxxx

Apart from throwing or whacking with a bat what do you do with these ball thingys? Not being one to frequent such places of torture!?

Did you say sit on it?!!! Why? is it a resting place or just guaranteed to plop you on to the floor so you end up an inch shorter with a sore behind! Told you - places of torture.

Good watery idea though Diva!

p.s. Mr B just arrived at outlaws - where've they taken him? - don't know! Hunt the f-i-l it seems!!
(not that she was pleased to see him go but bed has been stripped, clean sheets on and room tidied)! oops!

Boleyn - why not follow chris' theme and see an opportunity instead of a problem - if the royals can do it then why not you - choose a name you want it doesn't even have to be very logical - saxe coberg to windsor for example although may not be suitable if you live somwhere like muckypiddle or some other strange English Village quite quirky if you chose a Scottish one like Auquorthies (even I don't know how to pronounce that one and i pass the sign for it every day!)

Much copying and pasting later....

I've just posted this on the other blog then realised there's a new one. I am aware it has nothing to do with Chris's blog, to which I can add nothing as I hate gym balls, but I'm going to post it again anyway.

Hi all, blimey you've got the sillies this after!

Thanks for the congrats and good wishes, much appreciated.

Bridesmaids - hmmm can I get back to you on that?

I've got a real dilemma I'd like people's thoughts on, including any men if they're there:

I have had the name "Mrs "First Husband" (no, obviously not that!) for 16 years, am comfortable with it and am known by it professionally. Mr One True Love has, to be frank, a bit of a silly name, especially for a primary school teacher (children can be so cruel!). If only he was called Tudor.

Also, his mum and sister-in-law are, rather spookily, also called Anne, so we would all have exactly the same name which a) removes my individuality and b) makes me feel a bit squirmy.

So I have the following options:

1) Bite the bullet and take his name because it's the nicest thing to do, even though my children will still be called "First Husband".

2) Keep current name and possibly incur wrath from in-laws

3) Confuse all by reverting to maiden name

4) Choose a new name entirely!

He says he doesn't mind, but does he really mean that?

Going double/triple barrelled is definitely not an option.

Right, I await your wisdom.

Debs good luck with the interview.

Now off on taxi duty, I'm so good at driving people around I might drive meself to the wedding.

Sorry this is a bit me me me me.

A x

So sorry to change the subject so early in the blog, ignore my all means, but this is the only time I can pot till much later.

Ta dookie. Are you a pleasant shade of blue?

A x

I mean post.

by instead of my

Boleyngirl, my boss uses her maiden name for business purposes, and her married name for personal stuff. Bank accounts might get a bit confusing, but it's a suggestion...

AF x

ps does it bother the OTL whether you take his name or not?

Can you do a double barrelled thingy with the name, so you'll be

Boleyngirl "FirstHubby"-"SecondHubby"

Ergo, you keep your identity of 16 years and the same as your chiildren, but also take One True Love's name, therefore not upsetting the in-laws and showing new hubby you are now "his".

I'd love to be a double barrelled. Name that is. Already got a barrell or two round the midrift!!

CtD xxxxxx

Obvioiusly, if you wed many, many times in the future, this could use a lot of ink when signing stuff! xxxxx

ps dookegg, I sooooo hope there really is a village called Muckypiddle lol.

AF all the piddles are in Gloucestershire or thereabouts - wyre piddle, piddle in the hole north and south piddle etc etc. - would just love to live there!!!

Beesmum xxx

Hmmmm. Just thinking about the double barrelled thing ...... will work okay if the two names don't "go together" ie

Mrs A Currant-Bun

Mrs A Green-Plant

etc etc etc

We have piddles and puddles (villages that is) in Dorset. They are in the Piddle Valley near Dorchester - they take their names from two rivers/streams the river Piddle and the river Puddle which eventually join the Frome and exit into Poole harbour.


Piddle water has a totally different meaning down here.

Everyday is a school day on the Evo blog . . .

keep it up (and the ball too . . )

Heeeeellllloooooooo ... are you liking sandy balls hun??

Life good?

CLP

Are you playing Hot Legs for Clodagh?

Young Cheryl
All bood here in Norirn - v busy, such is the brevity of recent posts but should calm down soon . .
Sandy balls - very uncomfortable, methinks - prefer to side astraide the old bike every once in a while and sweat it out a bit . .
DtM x

yikes-a-dandy dan

i need a cold shower now babes!! hope the old bike takes it in her stride ....

x x x

Sandy balls, that reminds me of the time I streaked on Hoylake beach some 12 yrs ago. Had a 6 pack back then ( without the help of some gimmicky plastic bouncy ball) it was the same day I ate a sand sandwich...ah, reckless youth.....

well that's me offski! Lots of eggs to collect when I get home. Are the balls cLP is talking about the ones that are supposed to increase your core strength? If so I think i might need to find one so I start horse riding again - much better than rusty bikes.

quack x

p.s Kitten is at granny egg's (so she will probably pooh today!)

Crash bang in and out again, ta for thoughts so far keep em coming, did you hear that text on CLP just now from someone with a mum called Renee, it must have been Clodagh!

Insanity, I was convinced you were a girl! Sorry!

Off I go

A x

I shall catch up in a minute but for now - bubble man and not-all-there jam roly-polys! I love this show!!!

me-and-jumpingbean

Oooh Swiss ball, swedish ball, gym ball, call-it-what-you-will ball - yep we have just purchased one of them. Supposed to help, like. Came with a DVD full of exercises, which Mr Jumpy may or may not attempt to do.

'Tis EXTREMELY comfortable to sit on when you have a rapidly growing parasite inside and are trying to encourage said parasite that out would be better than in...

Having said that, I hope we get round to tidying the front room tonight. There might actually be room enough to get round the sodding ball. It's not the easiest of things to inflate and deflate when you feel like sitting on it.

But yes - I remember doing core muscle exercises on one of them when I used to go to the gym, well, the intention was to do core muscle exercises, but mainly I used it to improve my balance which is not the best in the world.

Ha. I will have ripped abdominals again one day.

Perhaps.*

me-and-jumpingbean

*that is, if I can stay away from the jam roly-polys....

Sandy Balls is also a great holiday park near Fordingbridge in Hampshire. Nearly piddled myself the first time I heard of it!
ta ta Lin x.

Buenos Noches.

I find Gym's scary places and would never venture into one for fear of getting on a machine the wrong way round or something.

Busy today but I did catch a few comments on JV about Banks. Now then.... that woman must have had some grudge as an ex employee of Lehmans. Who could have predicted the property crash or anything else without a crystal ball. Yes huge earners in the industry but as I said lot's of back room office guys that don't actually earn a fortune.

B's Mum my daughter is not affected in the short term but in the long term who knows.


Debbie good luck with the interview no idea you were into car mechanics.

Bingo I can't spell either.

Everyone else very good reading.


Party on.



PP

BoleynGirl,

My missus had the same dilema, She was comfy with her old married name but didn't wanna stay as it. But i wasn't fussed as i was marrying the woman not the name. she coulda kept her old name for the kids but decided against it and took mine (the daft bat)

Good luck in ya choice :)

Chris why ya even in the gym in the 1st place mate? you should be outside getting ya exercise :) lot healthier for you

I don't do gyms and I have no idea what these ball things are all about.

Boleyngirl whatever you go with good luck to you deary.

x x x

Hurrah for Sam Sam the Bubble Man, what a wheeze.

I'd like to nominate the Genius daughter's ashes to go up in a bubble.

I'll have to catch and kill her first, mind.

Bless her.

Clodagh.xx

Any road up. These Sandy Turnip Balls. Hurrah they sound just the ticket for one of my parties, what with Christmas just around the corner. I'm off to get me one of them without delay. Marvellous.

Meanwhile I'm going to practice on Renee. You can titter; if you'd ever accompanied her on a shopping trip when she's hit the deck outside Home Bargains and her bag full of bog roll, fire-damaged tins of pilchards and mousetraps have gone bouncin' down the street, and Renee herself stranded like an angry beetle showin' all her next week's washin', you'd know it's easier raisin' the ruddy Titanic.

Bless her.

Clodagh.xx

And Cheryl.

If CLP was playin' Hot Legs for my good self, he'd only have bin' referrin' to me thermal long johns.

Legs like a Jack Russell with rickets, that's me.

Clodagh.xx

evening all

gym balls - not for me as I think I'd injure anyone within 10ft of me, have bought myself an ab roller which I try to use everyday.

Can't make Oct 11th meet-up as I'll be at Wembley cheering on Fabio's boys, gutted guys but couldn't turn the ticket down.

bonnet de douche

KWx

Clodagb, brilliant! Thank you just what I need tonight.

Now my dog has some strange skin over one eye, dad called it a 'third eye lid'. I can't afford more vets bills, hope that she is ok.

Oh I'm so nervous excited about tomorrow, more excited I think.

Off now for a scented oil bath and to try and chill out a bit.

x x x

Debs you'll be just fine.

But remember. The job has to be good enough for YOU, not the other way round. You're finding out about them, too, don't sell yourself cheap.

You're a little gem. Let 'em know that and you'll do just fine.

Break a leg, honey. I'll be sending you good vibes from across the puddle.

Clodagh.xx

Thanks so much for your ideas, and thank you to the cheekily titled SJF102 for the male perspective - OTL SAYS he doesn't mind, but maybe deep down? Thinking about it a lot and it helps to hear other people's thoughts, any more would be welcome.

Clodagh, checking over recent blogging it was definitely your text got read out on the show, well done!(again!). I love your tales of Renee, having an elderly(ish, only 75 actually but likes to say "I'm 75 you know" as an excuse for everything ) mother meself who drives me nuts.

Debbie, GO FOR IT!!! If you don't get it you probably woudn't have wanted it and after so long it'll be good experience anyway just fo the interview.

And to my bridesmaids - will soon be asking for measurements - crimson won't fit, colour scheme is pillar box red/orange/purple geometrical. Might still fit in the gladeoli though.

A xxx

Never under estimate the power of candles, lavender oil and good, calming music.

Almost in a complete chilled zone. Need to get Mr Debbie into the garage for an hour and job done. Now I mean on his own of course.

Thank you Clodagh, Boleyngirl and absolutely everyone for the lovely support and good wishes today. It really does make a difference you know.

I'm going to watch a bit of tv, then pop back here later before I go to bed.

x x x

After one of the worst -
woweee!!! Diva Clodagh!!! Thanks Boleyn don't do orange but woweee purple that'll do me - really excited now! How bout you girls?!! purple pansies too? and guess what I've got a purple hat ready to decorate!
Sorry - stir crazy at mo eating a bit late for me and about to hit red big time for half an hour before the night phone calls start. Why do they put a phone next to someone who can see bunny rabbits on bed? Bless.

Can you imagine how many will be thinking about you tom. Deb - don't forget if you don't fancy don't go for it just for the sake of a job as Anne said - experience the interview - oh yes and check the loo!!

Beesmum xxx

ps good news so far PP - phew! head down - fingers crossed.

Thanks Bsmum. Was in a job for a year that I wasn't sure about so will definately make sure the vibes are good this time round.

Me and LM met Mr Debbie from work today. No hint of any atmosphere in London Docklands today. Just lots of 'worker ants' rushing around to get to where they need to be.

Can't afford to be too fussy with the next job. I/we need the money, but I so want to be happy.

x x x

Go debs! and the money? job seekers allowance? after the way mr nasty just told you to go when you said you were leaving last job sure you can get forabit? Have you enquired?

BM xx

To be honest Bsmum, given what Mr Debbie earns (forget what is spent) I've never thought that I would qualify for any help on that score. So I've never enquired.

When I changed from full-time to part-time after having LM I wasn't able to get any help with childminding costs etc so gave up looking after that.

Must go to bed soon.

x x x

No harm in asking in meantime though Deb - no idea how these things work but I know someone on disability allowance and other half earns more than me and Mr B put together and them some!

BM xx

Morning love-cats

Happy Hump Day ..... and

DEB - GOOD LUCK FOR LATER x x x

Well, lady lucifer will definitely be back at the helm today .... boo!!

And I've got the dental hygienist this afternoon. I hate dentists and am just a wee bit scared, if I'm honest .... boooooo!!

Gingembre - pants! I was soooo looking forward to meeting you - as was my neck ;-) - if the match is a 3pm KO, wuld you have time to drop in for "just the one". We promise not to mug you and steal your ticket .......

I'm currently building up a hareem of eligible batchelors to accompany me to games at The Emirates. Mr Diva isn't fussed about going and also has concerns about the cost if we both go, so I suggested that I'd go on my own, to which he was just the tiniest bit unamused (okaaay - he went mad at the idea, and not in a good way!) so I said that if I could get people to go with, would that be alright, and like the man from Del Monte, he say "Yes!".

I told him last night (in the bath, over a glass of wine) who was on my Emirates list so far and he was good about it. Hurrah!!

Also, I think it may soon be time to look at purchasing a new poter. This one's so painfully slow it really does my head in. I'm thinking about a laptop so if anyone's got any tips / recommendations ... please let me know (either on here if the BP allow, or on FB if you're over there).

Right, croissants are calling .... back later, once I'm installed in my orange box-cum-Russell Brand-shrine of an office.

Toodle Pip!

CtD xxxxx

Mornin' Eejits.

Debbie. I wish you luck for today. But if it doesn't turn out as you hope, don't fret over it. My life turned around when, at something of a crossroads in my life, I did the nightmare cousin 'A Favour' by doing a week's work for him, met the biggest gang of eejits you'd ever dream of meeting and discovered a whole new side of life I hadn't experienced before. 8 years later and I'm still doing it, but for myself. Good old Baz, total nightmare but my knight in shining tinfoil nonetheless. I thank God or the Universe or whatever that I reached that crossroads.

Life is what happens...., etc.

Now then can I be a bit indulgent here. A very dear friend of mine, only in his late forties, is having a potentially life-threatening operation today so can we send him some positives over the airwaves, please. Ah tanks.

Boleyngirl. Yes it was meself, hurrah! Mind you I'm feelin' a fraud as I didn't make it to TellysRUs, I got waylaid by Dick Turpin, aka. Renee, and couldn't face the carnage in the shop. So took her to Sainsbury's instead, where she took out the ankles of half the shoppers and caused havoc by molestin' the sliced loaves, checkin' em for incendiary devices and bogus asylum-seekers.

Right that's me for now. Off to catch HMS Zanussi. And I leave you with a little verse that just fell outa me bag that a little aul chap gave me in Galway.

Treasure every moment that you have.
And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special.
Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called The Present.

I wish you all well.

Clodagh.xx

Hi everyone:

Debbie: good luck today - don't forget the tea and nurofen! You've been getting good advice on the blog - it's true that you are interviewing them, just as much as they are interviewing you!

Clodagh: I will certainly rattle my rosary beads today on behalf of your friend. I hope everything will be alright.

Had a long discussion with my 17 year old daughter last night regarding whether she should receive the vaccination to prevent cervical cancer. I think she should get it, she also thinks it's a good idea, but of course there is a risk - as there is with any medication. I really would appreciate some advice, just if you can. The thing is - this vaccination has been on trial for only 6 years - who knows would the outcome may be 20 years from now?!

C xx

Clodagh - thank you. I needed to read that just now :) And sending positivity to the dear friend.

Debbie - GOOD LUCK for today!

Nothing else to say today, feeling very quiet.

me-and-jumpingbean

Morning

Good vibes on their way to your friend Clodagh.

Chrissie I know nothing about that vaccination sorry, wish I could help.

Thank you for all the good luck everyone. Feeling a little bit sick but once I start getting ready I'm sure I'll be fine. I don't have to be there until 11.30am.

x x x

morning all

just a quickie - good luck Debs, not that you'll need it.
Chrissie - looking forward to reading the responses to your posting, me ans mrsW have 2 girls to consider this for too!!
boleyngirl - go for it and change to new mans name, I have no reasons or argument behind it other than it was my first instinct on reading it

bonnet de douche

KWx

Ah Debbie that's just reminded me of something I read and I wish I had the book here! It was a note left out for a flatmate, thanking him for his interview relaxation tips. Something along the lines of "I think next time I'll hold off the green...." as his friend had given him 'a little something' to help him relax. It didn't help in the interview.

There are ways and ways of relaxing! I remember the feeling before interviews very well - feeling for you. You'll be fine :)

xx

Me again!

Clodagh - thinking of your friend and sending positive vibes. Hope all turns out well and healthy xx

Chrissie: like Debbie, I don't know about the jab or its side-effects. Have you goog'd it? There may be some impartial advice on this tinterwebby thingmejig.

morning jumpy and gingembre xx

Debbie - something I thought of on the way to work that might help you this morning .... play your favorite music, as loud as you can, sing to it, dance to it, just enjoy it. This will relax you and hopefully put a smile on your face for half eleven.

Let us know how it goes xxxx

And finally .... I must confess:

I drove here this morning to Mr Barry Manilow in the car. Yes, really. I just couldn'y help myself. You see ....

Spirits move me, everytime I'm near you, whirling like a cyclone in my mind ....

Laters!

Diva xxxxxx

Thanks for the responses: I kind of guessed you couldn't help, because I'm pretty sure this campaign is only ongoing in Scotland - sorry!

Basically, all girls in Scotland aged 13-17 are being offered this vaccination which on paper sounds the business, but who knows!

So, yes, I will Google it and see what I can find out.

Cheryl: my favourite Barry Manilow track of all time is Weekend in New England. When I hear this, the thought of having to live without MrS makes me cry buckets!

C xx

Hello everyone - have been lurking for a while, reading what you have all been doing, also been very busy.

Boleyngirl - when I remarried I decided to have a double barrelled surname because I wanted to keep the same surname as my children (less complicated at school), and take my new husband's name. It has worked well. You soon get used to it and it keeps everyone happy. Good luck, hope you find a solution. X

Aww Chrissie - yep, that's a grand tune, so it is. My fave is Could it Be Magic (the original version, none of this remix mishymashy). When Take that did it at the 02 last year (in the Manilow styleeee, not the early TT party/Robbie styleeee) the whole of the 02 was singing along and they had ballet dancers on wires above Gary Barlows white piano. My fave bit of the DVD by a long way .... aaaaaaaah!

morning fab!!

xxxx

Morning all - where's the sun we have been promised? still waiting to start my washing marathon!

Morning Diva Jumpy and Gingembre.

Positive vibes to your friend Clodagh and I'm going to copy your Galway chappies verse and stick it on office wall in big letters!

Debs - good luck!

Chrissie - best advice check internet for pros and cons although I did read an article - think it was in readers digest which would have swayed me towards! Not much help - sorry!

Beesmum xxx

Oh Joy! - it is now raining!!!

BM xxx

B-sMum: thanks - I think I saw that article too!

Cheryl: you are so right about Could It Be Magic ..... wonderful version.

I tried to book tickets to see Barry Manilow in 1979 when I was in America. The girl on the phone could not understand my accent (which is really not very broad) and I had to give up in the end! Never did get to see him!

C xx

Oh knickers, nearly time to go. Can't keep my legs still so funny!

x x x

Chrissie - did you see on yesterday's blog he's playing the 02 in December? I looked into tix but they were 50 quid each to sit waaaaaay up in the heavens. might have a peek on eB@y tho .... !!

DEBBIE - DANCE WOMAN, DANCE!!!

and smile.

Good luck sweetheart!

xxxx

Debs its really funny when that happens!! Do what the Diva says - Dance!!!

BM xxx

And yes I too put dvd in car and listened to Manly barrilow last night! What are we on?!!!
BM xxx

Cheryl: no way would I pay £50 to see anyone. Well ...... maybe Westlife!!

Yes, I know I am on my own with that one!

C xx

Buenos dias amigos y amigas!!

Debbie - sending you positive vibes - and Clodagh, sending your friend get well vibes too.

I am just glad to be alive this morning. Saw the aftermath of a horrific accident on my way to work, I do think sadly lives were lost.

T xxxx

Tinsel - I know just what you mean about being glad to be alive - puts everything into perspective when we see something like that.

C xx

Why is everyone speaking Spanish all of sudden one and all?


Well to be or not to be a ticket tout.

My Oasis ticket has trebled in value. Do I sell sell sell.

No chance not at a venue with less than 1500 seats .

Got run with it got to roll wiv it.

PP

ps What happened to CLP's outside broadcast which should have happened today.. I did invite the team round and got a bouncy castle organised and everything. even cleaned my sports car.

PP

ooooh Deb'll be in her interview now ...

think positive for her!!!

morning PP. where are you seeing The Mancs? I wouldn't sell mine.

x x x

I only go to Venue's in Bouremouth CTD. I did make an exception for U2. Just can't stand crowds.
In Bournemouth you actually see the band at close hand not miles away over the top of thousands of heads.

We do get some good bands although the usual mixture of the end of the pier stuff too.

A recent one to miss being... Old Variety Show starring..... Cannon and Ball, The Krankies (oops must not mispell that one )and Paul Daniels.

Oh what a night.


PP

OMG PP - i thought half of those were 6 foot under!!

We get some crud at the Regent in Ipswich too.

Have you seen the Vampires Rock show? It defines "iffy" !!!

No must have missed the Vampires....

Although I have to question why, when I could not sleep last night I ended up watching an old black and white movie on You Tube called Mad Monster. A pianist thats sells his soul to the devil in return for being the best pianist in the woooooorld.
Only problem when he starts tickling the Ivories he turns into a werewolf.....

Well it takes all sorts I suppose.



PP

Hmmm, can't answer that one PP! Although when I had my sleepless night last Thursday I ended up on the sofa seading about the bubonic plague in 17th century London.

Most bizarre!

seading?? shall we try reading!!?

Hello.

It wasn't for me. A shame as the guy was really nice, the total opposite of Mr Nasty.

But I would be working in an office completely on my own again and it was only for one day a week.

I'm on the short list though he said, which is positive isn't it. I must be doing something right.

Back online to find something else now.

Thank you for for all these good vibes and stuff, so lovely of you all.

Debbie x

PP I think probably aftermath of Spanish holidays - all speaking the lingo - I do the same when I get back from Wales - still not sure if I'm swearing though cos a cheeky welsh speaking farmer told me it was the equivalent of goodness me! hmmm!

Morning Tinsel - horrid when you see things like that - does make you think twice!

Wonder how Debs got on?

Beesmum x

PP

Count your blessings.

In this cultural desert we would be lucky to get a Krankies tribute act!

TTT

Debs you could do what I did ages ago and have several jobs? Variety and all that?

That was however when I was young enough to remember what I should be doing and when!!!

BM xx

I did think that Bsmum but the nature of the job as he described it just didn't appeal as much as it should have.

I had doubts when I went into my last job and I've learned my lesson. I need to be sure this time.

Onwards and upwards. I've already emailed my CV to another company :-)

x x x

TTT. I'm sure it's Rhyming slang for something else.

By the Way Basil Rathbone has good good vids on you tube... Check out Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.. your sort of music honest. Also his Beer ad.


Must go


PP

Debbie never mind back to the drawing board.

Deb

You've posted what I was thinking. At least you didn't just jump at this job for the sake of earning a wage.

You realised it wasn't for you and have vowed to get on with life. For that, I salute you!!

If there's one thing I've leant this year is take your time and make sure you get the right job. I had a handful of interviews before finding this one, and I'm sooooo happy here.

CtD xxx

PS: maybe I was a bit harsh on Lady Lucifer. She's back. Tanned and happy and came bearing confestionery items which are now sitting on my desk!!

PPS: Hello TTT - good holiday?

Debbie, deffo the right attitude!! and now you've got the interview experience under your belt you won't be so nervous next time.

I think you deserve a scrummy treat now for staying so positive. Cream cakes anyone???

T xxx

I am now wearing a black armband ...



Booooooooooooooooooooooooo

Si, muy bueno, gracias.

Oops it's catching, and I only went to Bognor!

TTT

Debbie: you are doing the right thing and not just jumping at the first thing. You've got to feel right before taking a job, and you'll know when "the" one comes along.

Regarding my post this morning on the vaccine for prevention of cervical cancer, this is for Gingembre (and anyone else with teenage daughters). I received a terrific email this morning from Mary (MWK of course) and she has sent me the following links:





So helpful (if a little worrying!) but there's no point in pretending these things can't happen. Prevention is better than cure ... and all that!

Is it any wonder I'm not sleeping well these nights?!

C xx

Oh dear Bad Mummy alert.

I had arranged for another mum to be on standby to collect LM just in case.

He was so upset to see me waiting and not Harrison's mummy, told me off for not taking longer.

Bless him he's so funny.

Totally agree, have that first interview over, the next won't be as scary.

Feel a little guilty as he said I would definately get a call but hey.

Hope that you had a good time in Bognor TTT.

Debbie x

Debbie: really funny about LM! Kids!!

When MsS was four years old, both my parents died and of course she was far too young to attend the funerals. She stayed overnight with her childminder both times, and then said to me "mummy, if you need to go to any more funerals, I'll just stay with Susan"!!! Nice, eh?!

C xx

CtD - Dave Grohl was very funny on Chris Moyles show this morning, did you hear him??

((Sorry, I know I should be loyal to Tel, but I can't - Mr Moyles always makes me laugh more!!))

By the way TTT - I haven't even BEEN on hols yet - must be something in the air!

Hasta luego!!

T xx

Tinsel - i didn't even know Mr Grohl was on CM show this morning, but to be honest, I can't stand Moyles. He's probably a very nice bloke and everything, but just not for me in the mornings. I even gave Russell Brand a wide berth when he was on there .....

Breakfast radio never been the same since Noel Edmonds and The Hairy Cornflake days!!!

Now I am showing my age!

CtD xxxxxx

Chrissie - my niece has had the vaccination in South Africa where they are giving the vaccine to all girls of 13 to start with and then phasing in the older girls. They are doing it through the schools. I don't know of any arguments against it so far. But as with all new medical discoveries - there will always be some risk to a minority of people.

Clodagh - my prayers and thoughts for your friend.

Debbie C - If it's for you then it will be for you. Good luck.

And good karma to all.

Bums.

Meeting at 2pm which I am soooooooooo not needed in.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

CtD xxx

Afternoon all,

I am now orifically on holibob from now until 2.00pm on Tuesday 30th Sept.

Yay! Go me!

CtD - I trust I am at the top of your list.

Deb - Well done on the interview. Shame its not what you wanted, but you've gotta do what you wanna do. I'm still yo-yoing about handing in my notice. Might feel different after a bit of a break. We will see

I am a bit peeved at the mo. One of the cats has gorn missing, which is not like him at all. Last seen on Sunday, from the tow truck. Now in the process of making posters to put up around the village.

Til laters,

MW, a!
