Hope everyone's having a good one! I've not done huge amounts today which has been nice!

Whatever you open ARF with is always a stunner and all the requests have been fab for today so I'm happy to leave it with you!

I might just pop in to FNWC tonight depending on whether I start to watch the 10 episodes of 24 I've got sky+'d... often leading to days that seem to go missing. If I don't see you later then have a great weekend...

Luv
Lyndyloo
Booboo
& the bump
-x-x-x-

Oo how grand, hope your brains not into meltdown by 5 CLP.

Had a VERY strange day today, number 1 son is 15 and YES I do still bake his birthday cakes. New oven working wonders - it's a monster sponge!

Got a squad of 'lads' staying over tonight - big bags under the eyes no doubt tomorrow.

Just got time to do the 'circuit' with my horsie - need to unwind before I am stressed out.

Not sure if a bottle of vino is in order or not hey ho, what the L.

Njoy your weekend one and all.

BLYipE

Clp - 'citing, and already thinking about the next one eh? I think you've got guaranteed sales on this ere blog for starters!

Pen xx

Lyndy, I only have those days when no-one is at home and I can veg out and watch the programmes that I've recorded.

Coffee in one hand , biccies, cake, chocolate (whatever I can find) in the other and I only let the dog out for a P when he's desperate!

I have to say those days are few and far between

Hows the 'bump' doing? I got rid of mine 15 years ago today!

Treasure every second, it goes FAR FAR to quick.

BLYipE

CLP--just before I go...yeah, not gone yet....what are the chances of a signed copy of the new book (Bob Hope)?? Just for bloggers, naturally.

Will be on my xmas list anyway, so will be reading YOUR MIND AND THOUGHTS as they go in to my heed....beauty and nakedness of writing and all that jazz.

c u xx

Thanks for all the congrats - I will keep you posted on my progress. I am on reductil from the GP and that is really helping.

Baz - sorry about mrs tango! Life is tough friend. Something has gone wrong somewhere though as I don't have a boyfriend to enjoy this new found interest with!!! Any offers - please let me know via my facebook page.....................

BLYipE - I'm fortunate enough to have had a suprise week with nothing planned as I should have been in the Bahamas working so I've really made the most of it.

I've had a day baking, a day in the garden, a day out shopping and caught up on wayward paperwork and today been a bit lazy. Now intending having a nice dinner and vegging out for the evening. The bump is growing nicely and now just making me a bit tired every now and again.

I shall be treasuring the good, the bad and the indifferent days as I've waited a long time for this.

Greetings Ter CLP.... In Particular!!!!! In Fact More So Than Anyone Else Terdee... But Also Greetings Ter ALL Too.... Just A Little Less Then Usual.......

Bingo Star ere.....

CLP - Sound smost interesting... iz this asign yer thinkin gof wreeting a book yersen.... yer autobiography??????
Know, sorry now a most good time in ye rlife maybe ter wreet part 1!!!!!!!
Am wondering whether ter wreet a book Bingo stylee..... only problem.... a can't speell or get me knows and nows wreet.... now what am sayin'!!!!!!!
As for the ARF.... Elbow..... 'ow appropriate.... ave injured me left elbow... don't now, sorry know 'ow ave done it.... but the joint iz killing me!!!! Might noot be able ter do any gym work on it for a while or a will make it worse!!!!!!
Elbow.... 'Throw Me Curtains Open' sound slike a great ARF opener ter me!!!!

No offence mean't ter.... 'ALL' but a feel a ave a BIG 'pologie ter make aimed directly at The CLP, The Tash and INDEED The Noah!!!!!!
The reason..... well yesterdee a don't now, sorry know, if.... it.... waz just... me but at the start of the 'AWARD' winning Drivetime gig.... a detected in CLP's voice.... a little anger..... a little disgust.... a little........ feeling of being insulted in an insulting manner!!!!!
Know, sorry now, a may be totally wrong but a just 'ope it ain't ter do with me liking the likeable photo of Micheal Caine and family ter a likeable likeness ter CLP and family..... CLP and The Caine in particular!!!!!!
Can a just offer BIG 'pologies if CLP, you do find/ feel rage at such a suggested sentimentation/ photo likeable likness!!!!!!
But in me defence... a just (using the beautiful 'JUST' word a lot terdee - get's yer outta trouble) waz.... ok admitededly in a 'umourous/ mischievious tone but noot making fun of CLP... just light 'eartedly.... liking the likeness of the likeable photo of the likeable Caine ter the likeable CLP!!!!
And let's face it about the faces in question..... The Caine the face of male film stars.... one of the UK's biggest ever film stars if noot the biggest (noot that a mean overweight/ fat... a mean biggest in.... BIG az in appeared in the biggest films az the lead male.... now, sorry now, that iz BIG without being overweight) film stars, the most charasmatic and INDEED popular/ cool film stars of the 60's/ 70's!!!!!!!!
And on top of this a mean't CLP looks aloot like The Caine of the 1972 era noot know, sorry now.... aka near 70 odd.... or iz 'e late 60's - no offence ter The Caine!!!! (My goodness if the Caine iz reading this know, sorry now, am gonna be offended 'im whilst trying ter unoffend The CLP!!!!!!)
But when a say 1972 a don't mean CLP iz in black and white.... soz am getting totally confused know, soorry now..... now what am sayin.... a mean know what am sayin'!!!!!!?@?!!
Know, now, a could understand if a waz liking CLP ter loooking very like Gorden Brown or Tony Blair..... or INDEED Margaret Thatcher 'im being very offended but surely noot one of the all time british greats of the movies!!!!!!!!
On top of this in the photo also are a new baby.... ok The Caine's baby iz a girl and Noah iz a boy.... but still at first glance a similar 'appy family with a new born baby like The Evans 'ouse'old!!!!!
And on top of this..... Shakira aka the wife of The Caine ok Shakira noot like Tash.... but closer ter Shishmanian.... and The Shakira.... with dark 'air, dark eyes and tall and INDEED beautiful..... all.... very again a likeness ter Tash..... see what am getting at know, sorry now!!!!!!!
A mean if The Caine's wife waz short, fat and blonde with blue eyes and from Sweden and called Aida.... then no similarities ter Tash.... remotely at all - know, sorry now all do yer realise the BIG..... WHATTA COINCIDENCE similarities of the photo that am tryin ter get at aka 'it on the 'ead!!!!!!!
So all in all CLP. Tash and INDEED Noah...... please except me 'pologies but it waz all mean't az a bIG compliment in light' earted way - know what am sayin'!!!!!!

Actually..... what if CLP and family were noot offended at all by me likening of the their likeness ter the likeable photo........ Know, sorry now...... they might be offended wreet know, sorry now, by me BIG 'pologie.... aka me insinuating that CLP and family might noot ave a sense of 'umour or INDEED able ter appreciate the staure of The Caine's standing...... ..... ............. ohhhhh dear this iz getting all too much for me sanity and mind.......

am totally confused all............ am off for a strong Mocha and a lie down!!!!!!

Please let 2009 be GOURANGA!!!!!!!

# 19 - A beautiful number..... especially if yer a 'ot female from Ukraine!!!!!!

'ope all ave a guten of a weekend..... you deserve it!!!!!!

Bingo- calm yourself down hon' I'm sure that no offence was taken -x-x-x-

Is it just me or has R2 stopped streaming?

Ello Propacar - Nice choice.... a like this Elbow tune.... very nice the way it gently builds.... an uplifting tune in all areas!!!!!!!

A don't know if ave told this story before.... in fact a know a ave.... anyway....

A once took Elbow's advice and threw mine wide whilst noot dressed..... and me curtain pole collapsed.... thus leaving me exposed ter the neighbours...... BE VERY CAREFUL if yer do follow The Elbow's advice!!!!!

Crumbs, just got back from Bracknell De la Mer......

Well done Propa - happy to lose to an Elbow track anytime....looking forward to watching the DVD even more now!

Beezer xxxxx

You're most welcome Rips, enjoy the rest of your day, with a glass or three!!

Pen xx

Rips,

Havent had time to blog much recently. Every job I seem to be given is requested by top management who want it sorted the day before yesterday.

Of course they have to be obeyed (especially in the present climate)

Thanks for your kind words of comfort ter all but.......
I think next week when a go ter London, again, ter see my favourite blogger who's name am noot allowed ter mention on the blog...... a might ave ter pay a visit ter R2 HQ ter 'pologise in person ter CLP!!!!!!

Am feeling like this 'Caine' situation iz getting outta 'and..... leaving me mind..... fryed!!!!!

Bit like a Mc..... Cain chip!!!!!!!

A feel like a potatoe 'ead over the situation!!!!!

Good to have the work though Thunder.
We've just got very busy and I'm trying very hard not to moan.....I'm probably failing though!

ooops #48... should say ARF (banging head) i was that excited!

Hi all

Well, poor Sally Traffic! No Oasis gig tonight, but kept announcing it lol.

Actually, we had the most almighty storm and downpour, which resulted in LOADS of standing water on all the roads, hence the gridlock, although to be fair, it doesn't take much on the M60!

Anyway, learnt something new about my car, it doesn't like going through deep puddles on only one side of the car! Does a mad lurch to the side, and the back end gets very squirrelly!

FNWC also just started here, and not working either, night off tonight, and a really determined attack on cleaning and tidying up tomorrow!

Ohhh, and so excited about the F1 in Istanbul too!!

JG x

who's Alf ?!!!! there i said it before anyone else

ooh the sun is shining in Cornwall..it'll be another gorgeous sunset..yeyyyyyy
Have a fabulous weekend everyone.

Loli, wasn't ALF a caroon type character who lived with a family? Strange idea! lol

Loli - welcome to FNWC - ALF - lol!

given up on the work JG - life is too short and theres always tomorrow - ackshually i am working both sat and sun - bums as Annie would stay - still pays the bills and the spends for the Brum meet

Ju x

I've just ventured out into the garden, between showers! Talk about "storm clouds a-gathering" they are all around us, but directly upwards, still the little white fluffy nice ones!

I'm so impressed that so many apples have set on my tree this year :) But am losing a load of plants again, even estblished ones....I think my garden is contaminated with something?

OK, so it being a Friday, have ordered a curry for me and a kebab (YUK!) for him...45 mins apparently:)

yum yum!

JG x

Hiya I thought I'd just pop in to FNWC and see who's around.
I've had a small nappette and now am waiting for oven to heat up and this storm... (which is defo on it's way looking at the very murky grey sky) to start up.
I can look forward to an evening of Booboo barking at the thunder and wanting to jump on my lap!
-x-x-x-

OH MY GOD - just listening again, as I missed the first part of the show and didn't want to come in in the middle. I HAVE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THIS SONG FOR AAAAGES! Sorry for the shouting, but I'm excited.

Throw those curtains wide indeed.

HappyAF x

Hey Lyndy...tell me, one of your comments to Sir CLp mentioned you might see him later...do I take it you are a local near a public house that CLP might own?? Sorry if being totally ignorant...wait as I cringe with embarrassment big time...cos everyone else knows...??

AF not as excited as me, my heart has never beaten so fast before.

I couldn't believe he chose mine ARF

PC

PS Tango it was Elbow One day like this

My first FNWC and on my second glass of red.

Hope it wasn't too awful Bondy - we were all thinking of you.

Darce x

Hi. Just briefly dropping in to FNWC with a cola (the one beginning with P although others are available). Staying on the soft stuff as (a) on meds that don't mix with alcohol and (b) DS currently bell-boating the River Nidd with the Scouts and it's tanking down. Looks like I'll be on taxi duty in ten mins.

Anyways, good to hear from you Bondy.

I know what you mean about the dressing gown AF. Can't wait to get mine on.

Could do with a big mug of hot chocolate and one of Lyndy's muffins.

PiPx

Sorry - meant to say well done PC - great choice.

Darce x

Hi Baz... I must have written something misleading in a previous post as I actually live in the heart of the country and no-where near our Christoph of the Lambie Pie variety or indeed any of his watering houses. My humble apologies if I may have led anyone to beleive other wise... -x-x-x-

Hi Pip- I did save a few muffins for me & Mum to have with a cuppa tomorrow morning so I'm sure I could spare you one.

I might just make myself a hot choccie!

-x-x-x-

JG - old car was a nightmare on one sided puddles hopefully new one ok - has traction control!! May be finding out looking at weather forecast for here tomorrow!!

Debs - coming to Brum - Brilliant !!!! You went far too early in Leeds !!!!! Good she's coming Flower - A???? We obviously haven't got three heads and an axe!!!

Bondy - Yay - FNWC We are all rooting for you hon. Onwards and upwards or even back to blighty???? If you check - as Bazz says we were thinking about you today.

Hi "fruity Cathmel" MC & Lyndy.

Had the black sky earlier - chucked it down - now sort of murky but drying out.

Just off to eat - back in a bit - one glass down - few to go!!!

Beezer xxxx

Darce x
