a slightly disapointing blog CLP - were your short for time?

have a great holiday - we will get the posts over 1500 in your absense

Hahah I've been doing that lately as well... it just ends in a lot of snacking. Have a good week off!

ARF - ALASKA - Tiny Spark

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

Quack

Have a great weekend everyone and CLP.

Where's our doggy update then?

only half a box of matchmakers - orange, mint or coffee flavour?

Lucky you CLP, a whole week off. Hope you're going somewhere nice. Enjoy.

matchmakers would have to eat whole box

Sorry Had to get the request in first, now I shall take time to comment on your blog......

Food - really like healthy stuff, M-i-l always comments that as everyone else is scoffing chocolate and cakes I'm raiding the fruit bowl! Wasn't always like that - quite often would drink over 2 litres of diet coke, and masses of chocolate bars i.e. 500g bars!!! Then the coke turned to guiness and the bars into Mars bars. Not sure why but now fruit, veg, toast, and savories are my food tipple.

Holdiay -Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy - the crisis will all be forgotten about by the time you come back (well we don't keep refering to the one after twin towers and that was quite a serious blip too!)

Just finishing off then going home

quack

Now for me it would have to be the orange matchmakers. I must get some tomorrow now.

If I get a McD's, I always get a 'diet coke' with my meal. Now what is all that about?

Have a fantastic holiday Chris, you will be missed!

Debbie x x x

Debbie, I do the same. I find regular too sweet. Who needs all that sugar anyway?

I try not to eat sweets during the day, thus making the odd nibble at home (no comments CtD...LOL) okay

007, that's right. But then I really don't need the fat either!

And Cheryl is busy cracking me up on FB. Normal service to be resumed shortly LOL!

x x x

an odd nibble never did anyone any harm, 007!

Like the idea of something healthy in between so I have just eaten an apple to allow for that bottle of vino later!

Nev

I guess it depends on how odd the nibbling is...LOL

Andy Williams. Nice! Like a bit of Andy ....

missed who asked for it tho - fax machine decided to spring into life for the first time today .... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr




bit disappointed no mention of the blog meet tho :-(

I regularly nibble throughout the day. If you worked here, you would too. Sugar hit is a must.

And diet drinks - I much prefer the taste of diet drinks instead of the "full fat" versions.

Deb - i really don't know what you mean about FB !!!! eeewwwwwww ......

007 - the odder, the better!

Or how odd the person doing the nibbling is even....?

Well done Jen! A good foot tapping one there.

Have a good Bloggers meet up to everyone whoose going.

Have a good weekend to everyone else.

Not looking forward to lurking next week - its going to be MENTAL!!!!!!

Quack

Debbie, I guess it's all a question of perspective.....

Too many places to look, FB, the blog, email..... I need to get out a bond accessory to simplify things.....

and please, do tell 007 .... what would your bond gadget do?

Must be time to head off.

Have a good time all in Canary Wharf - I am sure I'll enjoy the family taxiing just as much!

Nev

CtD, I knew as soon as I typed that, it would get a response from you........LOL

Hey 007 I know what you mean, talk about multi-tasking.

Try cooking sausage and chips for a 5 year old at the same time!

x x x

007 ... that's why ya luv me!! that's why ya luv me!!

Righteo cuti-pies ....... time for me to log off (oi - behave 007!) and trundle home, then a quick dinner and wonder woman impression then out again at half seven .... blimey!

To those of you coming tomorrow - I'll be there about half twelve. Look for the purple and black furry handbag! My mobile number is on my FB homepage, if you need it.

To everyone else ..... have a fantabulous, Divalicious weekend.

Big hugs and soppy wet kisses, but no tongues

Cheryl The Diva x x x x

Debbie, Ooooo sauage and chips. Baked beans?

CtD, absolutely!!!!

Nope spaghetti hoops were requested this evening 007.

Have a good evening Cheryl, see you tomorrow.

x x x

Interesting combination, but it's alright....:)

Have a good evening too.

Hi Chris

What is Laurence up, to that he cannot go out with you and your two wives? One may be an ex. but both are going to have babies. What is going on?
Have a good week off. The only one we can relate to is going to be Foxy. So Roxy is going to be in charge of the show, she is the only one left. I hope she will look after it for you.

Chris the choc draw is not for you. I had bowls of porridge what ever the time of day. What a good job I never had a draw to put it in.

Have a good holiday.

Well done to JenEwan - top song, top blogger, pleased for you Jen!

Curry tonight, boleyn man doing it as I don't feel like cooking. A bit nervous, he usually misses something vital out, but it's very kind of him I know so I won't complain.

Teen 2 just given me a rolicking for not knowing enough about civilian life in world war 1.

"Well my teacher knows loads of stuff".
"Yes, but she's a history teacher".
"SO?"
And, when I attempt weak suggestions -

"NO! NO! that's not what a World war is LIKE! Why don't you KNOW!"

"But I didn't do the first world war in history"

"Well you SHOULD have."

Sigh.

Time for another lie down.

A x

ouch!! Tough conversation with teen2. Time for a drink I think!!!!! You not her....LOL

Hey Mister Bond, you read my mind. Respite for half hour as I can hear the stimulating conversations of Holyoaks in front room. Do you get that in the States? I doubt it.

A x

No Holyoaks here I'm afraid. With the launch of ´óÏó´«Ã½ America, we get a lot more British programs, but that one hasn't surfaced. Is it any good?

Hi all.

Boleyngirl, it only gets worse.

"Its not like it was in YOUR day, EVERYONE goes out (then take your pick)
- dressed like this
- to the most awful place you can think of
- till some horrendous hour of night
- anything else that means you won't sleep!!

You're so mean. I'm the ONLY ONE in my ENTIRE CLASS who's not allowed, everyone else is...

Altho you may have already had that convo with Teen1!!

T xxx

wow, those crazy teenage girls.....:):)

CLP,

ANOTHER week off :( ya jammy wotsit i wish i could have a week off and actually do summat with it.

Do we know who is sitting in for him? is it Stu? or Richard E?

GL at the meet tomorrow folks and don't forget to post pics on fb :)

2nd week on the trot i've missed the 1st track (i was putting shopping away) then i had "friends" come over . . if they was TRUE friends they woulda waited until after 7 so i could listen to ARF :(

Steve :-D

And teenage boys! Just had a text asking if he can go to a party until 2am. Which means home at.........? Here we go again. I'm 35 with a 17 year old stepson. Boy do I feel old tonight.

Ten minutes then I off to hide. Hot, bubbly lavender bath, wine, music.....I may be sometime *sigh*

x x x

No Bondman, indeed it is not. It is a soap watched only by twenty year olds and under.

Love it Tinsel, perhaps we should start a support group!

Laters


A x

Now me and Mr Debbie getting 'ratty' with each other in anticipation of another night not knowing when he is going to turn up.

Help.

x x x

Boleyngirl,

it probably won't make it over here then. We have plenty of stuff like that like that on TV already.... They've just started the American version of Life on Mars. I haven't watched it yet, but expect it will not be as good as the original.....

Debbie, time to call in uncle Jack.....Daniels. For you of course not the stepson....

Hey 007 the cabernet shall take care of me nicely. Right I'm off.

Back in a while.

x x x

Evening each!

Cant beleive CLP off again - he has more hols than anyone i know! But have a great time - and hope we got Mr Maconie - i know he not everyones taste but i like him!

Hi Debs, 007, tinsel and anyone else lurking!

Debbie - just go have your bath and dont worry bout him hon..he`ll be out having a great time and i`m sure his mates and him all look out for each other. Good soak, and maybe some Jack (great sugg 007!) and all will be well with the world.. x

So, quiet night tonight, have glass of red pooured and a trashy magazine to read.... and of course u lot whoever`s out there!

Back shortly.....!

mSc x

The answers are;

Yes. No. No. Yes. Not Sure. No. Probably.

It has been a day.

Chums. Here's the rub.

Many have congratulated me about my new job, and I really, really appreciate all the sentiments that have been tossed in the general direction of Rudgwick.

But. The goalposts have shifted, ever so slightly.

I DO have a new job. But, not the one I thought I had.

Ha! Confused? My head is spinning.

The truth is, this morning, up in wonderful Colr, a deal was struck.

A deal that leaves your friend in a much better position than before.

I never thought I'd drop the clutch and slip back into reverse, but this was something I couldn't turn down.

It did mean backtracking and letting a mate down, but these are incredibly difficult times and whilst I don't wish to sound heartless, we all have to look after our own.

By the way, he understands. He has been there, and he said that in the same circumstances, he would have done the same.

Guys. Thanks for enduring this with me. I have treasured every word of encouragement and support that you have given me. When the bloggers meet at The M does finally happen I will, gulp, buy the first round.

I promise.

Much, much love

MfR

PS Alas, we won't be there tomorrow. Have fun, be happy and, well, peace.

Congratulations Matt - not what you were expecting im sure but there you go - swerve balls are sent to try us sometimes! Good luck with the onwards and upwards move...and we look forward to the first round!

mSc x

Oh, and Kyle.

Truce bud. If you are ever in the area, let's chink glasses and have a laugh.

I'm not here to make enemies, I just get a little, you know.

Sometimes.

MfR

Thanks Scoobs.

You know what? My bestest ever mate at school had the nickname 'Scooby'. We were basically 'brothers' in that we looked similar and lived near each other.

We always pretended we were brothers, but we always got caught out when grilled because when asked our names we would reply.

''Matthew''

''Matthew''

They sussed us.

MfR.

Wow Matt, think I've missed some of the twists and turns of your job 'saga' (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) but sounds like it has all turned out perfectly so congratulations!!! We'll raise a glass to you tomorrow eh??

Debs - I agree with Scooby - look at the positives. He's phoned you to let you know he'll be late - a lot of kids wouldn't even have done that. And they will all be looking out for each other. Just tell him that in the event of an emergency he should call you no matter what time!! Then just try and relax. No news is good news.

That is my new philosophy!! Saves me evenings of fretting!

Right, off to watch a bit of tv and drink some wine!!

T xxx

Congrats MfR.

Your friend will forgive you. You have to do what you have to do to get the job.

Celebrate those victories!!!!!

Buenos Noches

Well a bit of choccy does you good in moderation I suppose.

Today ended up going to hospital to have my foot xrayed. I don't know what I have done exactley but it sure is painful.
This has not deterred my visit to Londres however and I promise to try make the meet. I really think letting people down at the last notice is not fair or clever.


Hope to hop along.


PP

Hiya troops:

I am seldom on here at the weekend, but MrS has taken MsS to a party, she will be returning around 1am, so I really just wanted to say to Debbie - I share your pain!

Debbie and Tinsel (and everyone with teenagers) isn't it just so hard?! They think they know everything - we know they don't - it is a minefield!

Annie - where are you, I need your wisdom!

Have taped Big Cat live for MrS - so I will watch that with him and may sneak back for a wee look later!

I have a wee glass of the white grape and I am so glad it's Friday. Just wish it was 1.15 am and she was home, grumpy as always!!

C xx

Evening all, just settling down with my particular tipple after a lovely (if slightly odd) tea of pork chop and baked figs with stilton. By, it's been a long week!

MfR, great news about the job, shame about letting someone down, but he's a mate so he understands. Lovely.

Debbie, Chrissie, hope the teens don't cause too much stress this evening!

PP, ooh poorly foot, are you still able to walk?

AF xx

ps hello everyone else, and lurkers if there's anyone else out there :-)

Back! hee hee

I feel for you guys with teenagers- one of my colleagues has 2 and she has the most stressful time! but then..they go and do something wonderful that melts her heart.... and we were all one one once is her motto i think! (but actually, maybe that is part of the problem..the memories!)

Big Cat great Chrissie - i love that prog! and now watching DIY SOS - love Nick (one of those that you shouldnt but you would, nudge,nudge, wink,wink!)

MfR - great story...are you still mates? Bet you dont look anything like each other now!

Right, off to refresh the glass!

mSc x

PS - Tinsel - dont you want to be my friend on FB?! i hope i havent upset you by anything ive said..she says racking her brains and contemplating in a Stan Laurel way...! x

AF - evening hon! Its Friday..and tea sounds delish!

and PP - sorry, missed your foot..hope its feeling better by tomorrow.

mSc x

Hi Scoob, yes Friday indeed. Didn't leave work til 5.45, boss going ohhh, I didn't realise the time, me going yuh-huh, but I'm feeling very mellow now. Not quite comatose, but sleep is not very far away hehe.

AF x

Scooby I would LOVE to be your friend on FB but I have given up FB as I can't work it out (one area at least where teenager does know far more than me!!) So to you, and to anyone else who wants to be my friend - I want to be your friend too honest!!! But I can't do FB!!!

Sad but true!!

T xxx

Ooh, Pretty Woman's on the telly. May just have to indulge!

MfR

No problems, a bit of banter makes the world go around.

Good luck with the job. You'll need the extra money if you are going to buy a round for this thirsty lot!

Scooby and AF I am limp along Cassidy at the moment.
Something to do with one of my toes.

Hey maybe I could turn up in a motorised scooter tomoz like Madge out of Benidorm.


PP

Prof, I have a very sore big toe so I will be limping in harmony!!

T xx

Just found that too AF - brilliant film!

And Tinsel - thank u for the reassurance- just thought i`d ask! and for reference - i HATE the new FB - bring back the old!

Right, one more half glass and thats me for the evening..or people will be seeing crosseyed in the morning!

mSc x

oh maybe it should be the limpers meet Tinsel.

Debs,

The good news is that my 17yo wont be out late tonight, the bad news is that is because he is grounded due a couple of incidents in school this week

I didn't think that at 17, going on 18, I would not still be getting calls home about his behaviour.

So no footy tomorrow and no party tonight.

Grounding a 17yo seems daft, but as parents what other sanctions do we have?

Then a discovery this evening which knocks the rest into a tin hat.

Of for the days of Empire when I could have sent him off to join the army in India!

PP - my mum had a sore big toe, got it checked out, was told it was nothing but 4 days later ended up in agony and total bedrest for 3 wks with blood poisoning and a threat of toe amputation if she didnt do as she was told... sorry, bit dramatic but if u think its anything serious stamp your good foot and make sure its checked out! Good luck!

mSc x

PS - we threatened her with a motorised cscooter thingymajiggy - would only contemplate it with flame decals up the side..i tell you!

Come on TTT what did thou discover...

Oh has it changed then? Maybe that's why I cant even find my profile anymore!!

Right, going to watch Wire in the Blood. I do like Robson Green (shame he puts on a funny accent tho).

Night night all, see some of you tomorrow, and catch up with the rest of you tomorrow night maybe!

Can't believe CLP is on hols again btw - my evening doggy walks are never so much fun without him!!

xxxx

Scoobycat my last visit to the doctor was about 4 years ago. I don't do doctors as a rule.
However your feet are pretty important.

Thanks noted.

Hiya all

Well bath done. Managed to chill out but was greeted on exit by angry LM (woke up) stressed teen (waiting for lift) and very grumpy Mr Debbie (just because he can).

TTT I still ground our 17 year old. I believe in 'hitting them where it hurts' that sounds terrible I know. But when he crosses the line he has to know that there are consequences. Do I sound very harsh? Sorry if I do but it's so stressful here sometimes.

PP hope that you are ok and can make it tomorrow, understand it it's difficult but would be nice to meet you all the same.

Matt, you are right and you must look after 'number one'. Good for you and glad that it has all worked out your way.

AF hope that you are feeling better now, Chrissie hi, Scooby hi ....anyone lurking hi!

So tired, off to the sofa for a bit now.

Hope to be back soon zzzzzzzz...x

Teenagers can be a problem at times, very much like the Harry Enfield Character.

However when my daughter had a party one time which I was overseeing they all spotted me in another room with headphones on swaying away to my music. They all laughed I thought I was quite mad.

Don't worry they grow up give them some rope is my advice.


Goodnight early start .

PP

Nite PP. Take care x

PS. How much rope do they need ;-)

TTT,

I sympathise with you. I've got a 15yro stepson who is a handful i've even told plod and the school what do i do if he don't listen? the ONLY choice i got is to batter him (school looked very shocked when this was said) he then went and walked of the meeting with the head *shakes head* The woman from the council had the cheek to say that if he didn't attend school then i'd get fined. short of "breaching his human rights" what else can ya do with 'em eh *sighs again*

hey ho ne'er mind sent to try us an all that malarky.

Keep smiling TTT

Steve :-D

Scoob, you've hit the nail on the head, as it were...I remember like yesterday what it was like to be a teenager (though nowhere as stroppy as current teen2), and I hope I have a much closer relationship with my daughters than my Mam had with me, so I want to be much more accessible. I felt very understood much of the time, trouble is, try to be understanding and they still feel misunderstood! Aargh!

Actually I think it's just a natural rite of passage, but oh it's wearing!

A x

TTT - just read your bit. You might have a point! Having just endured a smidgin of last week's X factor I find myself longing for a bit of discipline and above all some British "Stiff Upper Lip"!

A x

Hey Scoob, do I remember the GM moved in a wee while ago? How's that going?

Deb, hon, your house sounds like a bundle of stress. Hope you've managed to stay an oasis of calm!

Now, another glass of vino or not, that's the most pressing question in my life right now. Well, it's not, but I'm ignoring the others...

AF xx

PP

Kinda rhymes with rope.

TTT

I mean I felt very MISunderstood, sorry.

A x

Thing is Debbie if you brought them up well they know right from wrong.

Gentle reminders and a few horror stories to make them aware. But I think teenagers can be great fun if you play them at their own game if you know what I mean.


Really hope to see you tomoz.


PP

TT get you well a few horror stories needed but is prob only a passing phase of growing up.

Right my Pumpkin coach awaits to Londres.


Sleep well all


PP

I still feel miss-understood.....LOL

Right, cant do it anymore, its all so wearing... i gonna have to go to bed before my eyes close of their own accord! hee hee. And all teenagers parents...i was one only 14yrs (!) ago and if id have heard myself say i was going to bed before the hour of 2am , never mind 10 pm, id have been horrified...as my mother used to say..its just a phase!

Sleep tight all... and have a blast tomorrow at the meet...the ones who cant make it all send their love!

Sweet dreams

mSc x

PS - AF - thanks for asking - will FB u! x

Just popping in to say goodnight to one and all. I feel a wee bit better knowing I am not alone on the teenager front!

Thanks for listening!


C xx


p.s. Scooby - I know what you mean about Nick ..... but he has too much form!!

ooh- true - but u still would Chrissie!`

Night!

mSc x

Well I'm struggling now with the eldest child of the house. So hard, trying to calm down.

Wish that I knew what to do for the best.

Nite nite from a very sad me :-( x x

Debs,

Just popped in to turn off computer after teen Myspacefest.

I'm so sorry you're sad.

Hope it gets better.

Night night

Morning

Been awake since 5 am.

Part excited, part terrified.

Convinced I'll be sitting in a pub in Docklands on my own like Billy-No-Mates.

OMG. What have I bitten off?

Pix on FB may be a struggle if I'm the only one there.

ttfn

Cheryl The (very scared about later) Diva xx

morning all

sun is shining, wemberlee is calling, really sorry cant be at docklads today as I really enjoyed meeting SB and Gabs earlier this year. If someone can have a pint for me (anything will do) and for comedy purposes if you see anyone of the gingembre persuasion in the pub then just say hi!

Tomorrow is all about the 20+pages for the new job application, then back in early Monday morning.

bonnet de douche

KWx

ps - the ring has to be battered!

CtD,

Just think . . if no one turns you'll not have to buy the drinks will ya.

Oh . . . ... did ya forget to tell them all that you was buying ALL the drinks?

Steve :-D

Just had to have a wee look!

Morning everyone!

Cheryl: there is no way you will be on your own today - be prepared for a very healthy turnout!

I'll be thinking of all of you today - very strange feeling so connected, when I don't know any of you! Have a great time.

PP - I did mean to say to you last night, you are so right - we must give our kids some leeway, or it will all go horribly wrong. I know this sounds unlikely, but we have never had to "ground" our daughter. She really doesn't give us too much grief, but oh boy, she can be moody!
Beesmum, thanks for your encouraging words too.

C xx

P.S. London Baby!!

ctd - we will be there

we did the billy no mates thing earlier this year - maybe it was my cuddly bagpuss that scared mfr off - I won't bring him this time I promise

see you all later

super bp x

Morning All,

I haven't blogged for ages but I have been lurking now and again.

I just wanted to say have a great time today. I'm sure they won't let you down Cheryl. I will raise a glass to you all later.

Although I don't blog anymore I'm very grateful for all the help and support I got from you all and for the new friends I have made, especially Gaby and ChrissieS xx


Have fun!

Lots of love
Mary xx

Mary: lovely to see you on the blog! Even though I'm in touch with you on a daily basis, I miss you being here!

Super bp: you deserve to have a lovely day today after what happened earlier in the year. Have a great time!

And I don't think for a moment that your lovely bagpuss that put off MfR, but it was kinda strange, to say the least!!

C xx

agree with all wholeheartedly about teens, my youngest stepdaughter has just turned 17 and is soooo moody! only truly happy with a can of lager in one hand, a cigarette in the other and her 2 best friends ' to share her angst'
lord help me!!!
love to you all andhave a great time today

Tiggy xx

hey mary, great to see you on here, sorry I haven't emailed recently but been crazybusy at work, oh and you're so right about gaby x

KWx

Morning

I am so tired. Up between 3.40am and 5am as the eldest was not home. Long story. Not a good one.

Mr Debbie drove miles to go and get him and they were back at 4.30am anyway.

I've not long been up, but I wil definately be there later. Looking rubbish, with tiny, tired eyes now.

Hello Mary lovely to see you back here, please stay.

Off to wake up a bit.

x x x

PS: Cheryl, stop worrying it will be a great afternoon x

Morning.

Keep th noise down would yous, have some cons cont condid have a heart. hic.

Now than. Fancy me bein kept in cop shop. Juss becase was fulf falfall keepin my end of bargain at Wigan Town Hall. How was I to kno ther was a meetin of the Mothers Union goin on.

Jaysus lookat me hair. An' mascara all smud smug spread all over me face, look like Amy Winehouse's mad blonde granny. Shrup I don't look like that photo of Myra Hindley, how dare you. And look here me stiletto fell off me shoe, bugger. Thought I'd broke me leg for a while there. Ah yes here it is in me plastic bag with me belt and me nail glue. D'oh. Got them shoes from Valu Shoes in Limerick, Buy One Get One Free. Was the one I bloody paid for too. Whats this paper say. Bound over? Bound over, cheeky monkeys I've never bin bound over in me life. Well not since stumblin' on that stag party in Cork with the GBF Damian and that wasn't our fault. Just because Damian had diligently studied his book I bought him on Sailors' Knots. All them rugger buggers looked like summat Damian Hirst would cook up, lined up nicely along the quayside an' tied neatly to every bollard.

No sense a humour them coppers.

So Cheryl. Can't join yous tonight babe, the daughter has grounded me and has gven me lines and a book to read on Responsible Parenting. I'll be with yous all in spirit; don't be daft of COURSE yous won't be Betty No Mates, yous'll have a blast.

Must be off now. I need a paras parra nuraff nooraf headache pill and some zinc and castor oil cream, have some nasty chafin' where I tried to get me trousers off over me head and fell off me bunk.

Have a fab time and lets know how it went. Hurrah.

Clodagh.xx

All I can say is ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Jubilee line is down, Bank Station is very restricted access, I have no idea how Im going to get there??!!!! Have been looking on London Transport and the journey looks almost impossible!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
