Hi Chris,

I think having Tash blog every Friday is a great idea and a new photo every week is an even better one! He is very gorgeous!

My husband suggests Desire for tomorrow's show, also can you wish him (Andrew) a happy 40th on tomorrow's show for sunday!

MCM xx

CLP - Glad you're sorted on the dummy issue and I am immensly happy that Tash is going to blog again and look forward to more piccies of ickle man.

pfx

I'm so enjoying your blogs Chris and looking forward to Tash tomorrow. Can't wait to see Noah's passport photo. It's bound to get worse as he gets older!!

I think a Tash blogg and an updated pic every Friday is a great idea.

Could you ask Adam how many spoons he now has in his spoon collection and whether he's considered ever collecting something a little more exotic, such as apple corers?

as a show starter it has to be the one with the perfect opening.

where the streets have no name

rgds
nico the yorkie (last 100 entrant on the rexfactor 08, too upset to enter 09 after not winning :-) )

Could it be milk?

nuff dummy chat for sure!!

Tash blog and Noah pic - perfect Friday stuff.

U2 ARF - no idea at all!!

things starting with M??

Mighty Mouse?
Magnificent 7?
Michele? (that's me!)
More tea vicar?
My my my delilah??

hmm, time to go i think!! i'll get me coat!!

can't spell today, that should be immensely...I think!!

Afternoon Bondy.

CLP Could it be Mulberry - which is on my doorstep, so as to speak

xx

Errrr Mixamatosis ?? yeah i know ive probably spelt that wrong.

Looking forward to the Tash Blog, us mums need to "connect".

How about "The Sweetest Thing" for the opening track ?

Take Care all !

Great New Blog CLP - I always try adn read what you say - even if I dont get a chance to blog.

On the issue of tickets to premieres - if you get any for Star Trek can you send them this way - I have a couple of men champing at the bit to see the new film

Must dash - my time is needed elsewhere

Hi,

Glad to hear Tash is going to be blogging again, always nice to hear from her.

CLP,

I know exactly what you mean, regards getting through all the posts....Good fun though!

Assuming you're not about to invite me roung for some tinkering time...how about I offer you some company in Monaco, I can pay my own way, and am no trouble!!

No- oh well, enjoy you lucky *x%%?$£

Gingembre...Saw your post re: Danny Baker, we were only discussing him the other week..I love his stuff.
Did you go through the 'All Day Breakfast' trials...if only that had worked!

We should start a campaign to return him to mainstream radio and away from ´óÏó´«Ã½ London...He was great when he stood in for Wossy on R2.

That's my little lot, hope you're all keeping well, with whatever is going on!

Ripples x

Hi Penny, hope you are well. Work from home day for me today....... supposed to be in the upper 40s here today....but snow at the weekend.....groan.....

BLOG MEET IN BRUM

Sat 14th March

If you are coming to the evening meal and haven't had a msg from me on FB, can you let me know ASAP (either on here or on suffolkdiva@hotmail.co.uk as I need to book the table fairly soonish.

Food Italian.
Company fantastic!

Cheers.

Deev x x x x

Bom dia Christophe.

Inspired by Tash to reread the old blogs, I was wondering if you'd started to hang Noah's used nappies in the trees to deter the squirrels yet?
2 years ago you were wondering where to get them...
Well now you know!!

u2... New Years Day plz.

Ta ta Lin x

Good to hear that the lovley Tash will be writing again more secrets Tash spill the beans and will be great to see more photos of little one

On subject of M

was it Money?

Mothers Day?

Was it Mothers Day CLP?

Planning in advance so you know the date to make sure Noah buys Mummy a present

Afternoon CLP

Excellent blog as always and how exciting that we are going to get a weekly Tasha blog and up to date photo of the wee one.
Roll on Friday I say.

Not a huge U2 fan, so will let others decide the ARF.

CtD - am excited about the London meet now I've seen your reference above to the Brum meet. Only 5 weeks - eek!!

I hope everyone is having a good day. I can't wait for home time as tonight is the first night this week I haven't had to do anything or be anywhere and I just want to go home, get in my Pj's and chill.

AliB

AliB it sounds like you've got the perfect evening planned!

Mmmmmmm was it about memories? After all it's on the memory hook! Am making belly pork for dinner today.... smells gawjus...long slow cook... Haooray for Tash...Luv Lyndyloo xx

Afternoon all, in Jersey at the beginning of this week after doing a mini tour of Scottish regional airports in previous weeks....the glamourous life of an infernal auditor...Manchester next week and after that...gulp..Gatwick. Looking forward to my week off in March I can tell you.

Anyway, loving the blogs as always.

ARF, well I know it's an obvious choice but please please please can we have

"Where the Streets Have No Name"

Whenever I hear that intro it sends shivers down my spine and brings back heady teenage days when me and me best mate went to see Rattle and Hum six times just so we could sit at the back of the cinema in our black 501s and chelsea boots to sing our little hearts out...ahh heady days indeed.

Look forward to Tashs blog tomorrow. Cant wait.

Mmmm! that could be Memory seeing that you cant remember what you wanted to blog about.

How about "Mirific" another word for wonder-working; marvellous. I feel mirific today. Sounds better than Marvellous.

Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of or Beautiful Day from the boys please.

Thanks

Oh we are in town tomorrow for a gold disc presentation.

I think it would be lovely to have weekly photos of Noah, and Natasha's views on things too.


Would the M be Mungo Jerry, or Music?

hells

MCM, I am sure it will be perfect, also good telly on a Thursday. Not sure what to have for tea though, it might have to be fish fingers as everything else needs to be defrosted first!

AliB

Hells

Is that for Bandaged (sp). I've got my copy and I shall purchase Volume 2 when it's out.

Well done for whatever it's for.

Agony.

Sheer utter agony. Currently using every single ounce of restraint NOT to start jumping round the office to Ballroom Blitz on R2.

Masterchef Final on tonight - who's going to win????

I keep changing my mind. Didn't want wierd eyebrow man (Mat?) to even be in the final but now I think he deserves it. Like the bloke who's got a second chance cos he's so determined, and like the young lad cos he's so brave!!

ARGH!!

T xxx

Casually dropped into the blog.....

"we are in town tomorrow for a gold disc presentation"

What is the gold disk for Hellenbach?

Chris,

Please tell Tash that OF COURSE we want a new photo of Noah every week. How terrific that Tash is going to blog every Friday! (well done, astoundingAndi!!)

Hope you have a great time tonight - I am really looking forward to seeing that film, I think it will be terrific. Please tell Richard Curtis that I think he is a genius.

I haven't had time to read the comments yet on this blog, so I am really interested to see what the bloggers think "M" means. Personally, I haven't a clue!

Cxx

Was it Magic Moments Chris?? I'm sure you must have had a lot of those.

Looking forward to Tash's blog and photo of Noah tomorrow.

Mdxxx

I love U2 and am v excited about tomorrow's show!
My ARF is either 'Even Better than the real thing' or 'One'.

Oops!

How rude, should have said...very much looking forward to the betterer harfs blog tomorrow.

Deev #42

Why fight it...everyone you work with must know by now that you're a Loon!

Rips x

Well I've spent all day trying to find cheap car insurance and now I'm giving up!

Going to think what M could be instead,

Maybe:
Mothers day coming up
Monday-something special on monday?
Marshmallows in a hot chocolate
Munchies-I haven't had them for ages!
Mummy
Mummy's milk
Molten lava
Memory loss
Mints
Money
Memories
Music

My minds gone now cause I'm listening to ruby tuesday instead, my Niece was going to be Ruby after this song if she'd been born on a tuesday but she waited until wednesday instead!

MCM

Rips.

Loon eh? Beats being a muppet, babe!

Deev xx

Ah there's another suggestion.... muppet! Well done CtD! xx

Firstly, ARQF, dun it by email.

Secondly, ARF, Pride...mainly for the introduction...turn it up L-O-U-D!!!

Thirdly, Christohphe, Tash doing a blog every Friday...are you sure this isn't just giving you a day off and you are shirking your blogging promise to blog EVERY day...hmmmmmmmm??? Nar, really, sounds like a spiffy idea! Although I think this week, I'd like to see a shot of your coffee table (in it's natural state) in the background, rather than your computer desk...when the pic of No'(?) gets took...

Fourthly, we are now ensconced in our new Sett. It's lovely thank you, although the cats are singularly unimpressed, I have bleach eye, housemaids elbow and movers knee, the Badger has no internet access (yet), we need two wardrobes and a book case...other than that, we're fine!


...and finally...Tins, as long as it isn't Arrogant Andy with his timing and assistance needed issues...we don't care!

now I'm far too busy and important at the moment to keep coming on here (at last I hear you cry) so be assured that I'm still listening
love

...and well done to hellenbach too x...

Hi all

Chris...is it Marbles......cos I'm losing mine, all will be good after big meeting on Monday...but why do people think I have the answers........I only the admin, not boss!!

Baby passports - anyone any tips on how to keep 15 month todller still enough to get a photo that will pass all blinking rules?? Should have done when very ickle and would stay in one place! Do resent having to pay £50 tho........

ebx

Well back to the dummy debate!!!

My work colleague has just told me she is going to get me a dummy to stop me chewing my pen!!!!!

As for Tash Friday...great idea and definate thumbs up to the photo.

Lyndy

I did muppets at #27 .... have had muppets on the mind of late. Can't explain it. They're everywhere. My mind is over-run with muppets.

M&Ms. Peanut ones.

Deev x x x

Muppet?!!! Muppet???!!!!!

How very dare you.

And you Lyndy, I know you're both ganging up on me...It was just like this at school.

Huh!

Hello

Haven't read any posts yet, but just wanted to quickly share some good news. For once!

Had my 3 month review today and it went really well. Have been given loads of roles to take on, incuding Department Secretary, have been asked to manage the Security Contract, help the The Technical Manager run a new team, and being sent on 3 courses. She wants me to work an extra day per week soon too.

And she said she can see me having a long term career there, especially when LM older and can work full time.

Sorry for rambling but excited!

Ok, off to reply to messages on fb then I must catch up on posts.

Debbie x

Weird you should mention Chocolate Deev.

We had a load of cartridge type things delivered today for the office machine and with they sent a box of celebrations...very nice.

Thing is see...I don't eat chocolate, never have, just doesn't do it for me.....but for some unknown reason I have scoffed half of them....one after the other...like a man possessed.

WHY???!!!

Don't want anymore.
Won't want any tomorrow.

What is that all about.

Yours

Well done

Debbie that's brill, well done!
MCM xx

Oh one particular interesting thing that she wants me to get involved in is the Complaints Investigation Procedure. So if you guys find something in your bread that shouldn't be there, it could be me dealing with it! You walk around with things in little evidence bags, very CSI.

x x x

Debbie fantastic news, well done you.

Pennyx

Well done Debbie - look what you've achieved in such a short time.

Md xx

Looking forward to hearing from you tommorrow Tash.

My ARF is Beautiful Day.

M.xx

RE: 54

The chemist offer a service where they will take passport photos might be better than those booth things.

M.xx

Well done Debbie you deserve it.

Got all my work mates hooked on the hot cross bu loaf. It's just so lovely.

M.xx

I've only been to the cinema 4 times in my life (deprived childhood probably...) but I'm going to see the Boat That Rocked when it comes out in April! Looks brilliant! (A little review would be nice sometime CLP....)

A very quick hi to all

Chris - Marvellous musings today in the blog. Great that Tash will be doing the blog on Fridays + photos.

M for muse, muttering, mange-tout, magic? No doubt it will remain a mystery.

Shortiepants1 - hope things get better for you.

AliB - enjoy your evening!

Debbie-C - congrats on great review.

Have to dash, so TTFN

Well done Debbie. Congratulations.

Marmalade?

Hi Chris,

Glad Noah's all 'official' now, we can't have him floating about all unnoticed in the world!

U2 ARF: TWO HEARTS BEAT AS ONE from the excellent 'War' album - in recognition of the love that is you and Tash!

I know, I know, it's too soppy...

Jo x

Thanks guys. Shortiepants, just caught up and see that you've had a rubbish day sorry to hear that. Then there's me going on about my good meeting.

Hope things have got better by now.

CLP, see what parenthood does to you? Mind goes to mush. I don't have a memory peg but lots of post it notes instead.

U2 Track Chris, New Years Day or Stuck in a Moment - nothing else will do !!!!!!!!!!!

Bullet the blue sky from The Joshua Tree album.

Debbie,
Bloomin well done, future sounds real exciting, enjoy!

I shall raise a glass to you later.

Nicki

CtD and Debbi,

Thanks for your mash suggestions, doing bangers and tonight for himself (I have fake ones due to my vegginess) and I was thinking I'll bung summink in spuds to liven 'em up.

Strong cheese and finely chopped spring onions it is then.

Thanks
Nicki

Nicki

If you mash your lovespuds (sorry!) with cream cheese (such as philly) it ads extra depth to it.

Enjoy.

Deev xx

Thanks Nicki. Might raise one myself!

I've never been given so much responsibility and had a boss believe in me so much. I can't be that mad then can I?

Funny thing is, she said that I often don't look confident when people give me things to do. Then she said that she knows how good I am even if I don't, and she'll ignore my face and keep heaping the work on.

One of the courses is a assertiveness one. She said she wants to invest in me as she thinks I would be good for the team.

Sorry for going on but I didn't expect today to go like it did.

Debbie x

*blush*

How humbling to have one's genius recognised.

I wish my daughter and my bosses were as receptive to my ideas but you know the deal..... stony ground and all that....

Travelling with a small baby is usually easier than with a toddler. If at all possible carry him in the sling and forget taking the pram or buggy on the plane. Borrow or hire one at the other end. Encourage Noah to suckle at takeoff and landing to clear his ears and practice changing his nappy on your lap and in a small space!!

M = Marmite

Can't wait for tomorrow and a new picture of Ickle Pickle!!! Oh, and Tash's blog, of course.

And am I the only person who couldn't name a U2 track to save her life?

aA

(President and Founder Member of the Tash Blog Friday campaign)

Mashed spuds with cream rather than milk and butter not spread....

.....not good for the waistline but yummie

especially with Gloucester Pork bangers (sorry Nicki-Noos) and onion sauce

My mouth is now watering. And its nowt to do with sausages and mash ....

I'm with you on the U2 thingy. Could look up what they do but somehow think that would be cheating, so I'll give it a miss. I obviously hear their songs on the radio but not realising it's them - if that makes sense!

Roll on next week's ARF!

Pen x

did i just hear right .... R2 doing something on Goths!!?!?!?!

Oh My God!

When???? Missed half the trailer - on phone. Booooo.

Am all Goth'd up today - twas a ploy to scare the Evil Dentist this morning.

Need to go play Sanctuary now. Very Loud.

Salivating.

Thanks Michmel......

Sorry for the rant earlier, feeling better now I'm home and had corned beef hash with the Boy (when he let me have a fork).....Chocolate has to wait till he's gone to bed.....

Blue cheese mash is a treat in this hovel

Well done debs btw.....sounds like a very good confidence boost, which is always welcome.....they better watch out, you'll be running the place soon!!

Hello all,

Trying to catch up on all the posts, haven't had a chance to blog over the last few days...

Looking forward to Tash's blog tomorrow, must take a peek as soon as poss.

Day off today but I haven't stopped! Swimming and food shopping this morning and bank and baking this afternoon, now looking forward to yummy pecan pie for pud after tea tonight!

Re passports, as a Godmotherly act I helped out with the cost of my Goddaughter's passport as the live in Sweden and are on a budget; getting a UK passport issued from the Embassy in Stockholm costs about double the price of a passport here! Anyhow as well as undergoing the trauma of posing for the photos, aged only a couple of months, she will be lumbered with the burden of explaining just where jonkoping is wheneveranyone asks where she's from...

Happy thirsty Thursday!

LOL eb......... that's what makes him so funny....

Lyndy...

Phew! me too re: the gang thing.

Favourite muppet: Gonzo
Favourite quote: It's ok, I landed on my head.

Ar'ternoon James!

Thanks eb.

Can I just for an opinion? Does anyone else think that it's horrible that the press have shown pictures of the Cameron's coming back from hospital after their son died?

It seems very intrusive to me, should be a very private time for them.

Anyway.

Looking forward to Tash's post tomorrow and a new picture too!

Not so much looking forward to U2 not a huge fan but the fact that they are on with Chris will surely do them a favour.

Debbie x

Hi Chris and Family
great to hear that Tash Will be doing
a blog each week and a new picture will be great we need to keep up with the little one.

Love anita xx
