Ooohhhh! wonder what the wife has got in store you Mr Evans, you lucky person. I normally get a curry and karaoke night at the local but hey, each one to their own. Have fun anyway.

Have dipped in & out of reading the blog and comments for the last few months but as my boss is now out of the office have decided to join in the fun & laughter.

Not sure what else to say (gosh this seems soooo strange!)other than it's raining cats & dogs here at the mo, where has our summer gone?

Done a sixth of my working week (1 hour) and I'm back.

Hallo and welcome to newbies.

I stood on one of those glass floors at the Art Centre in Gateshead which used to be the Rank/Hovis building (can't remember the name of it now) and it was truly scary.

xxx

C&P'd from last blog just...... Done a bit of catching up both on here and my desk, which seems to be covered in loads of paper! (Note to self - note do some work!)

Poor Deev - hope you are soon back on solids luv! Teddy bear hugs, a good movie and PJ's are a must at times like these. Oh, and send Mr D out for his tea with lottie maybe.

Debbie-C Hope teen birthday went well. AND carry on with the good work. XX

Nice busy calender Christophe, can't beat it when things to do are stacked up like that. Love it.
Got a call this morning to work tonight (overtime - niiiiice) so having a relaxing day at home with the jam-eaters before going in later. MrsW at work'til 5 so wil start dinner inabit.
Bagpuss- bet you have a great hen-doo, I always think the ones that aren't well planned / look like they might not actually 'happen' are usually the best nights out had.
Please don't wear 'L' plates, wings or all be in matching outfits...

...sorry if you are but one of my dislikes in life.
Cov Gdn sounds a great place to kick it all off too.

Continued love and thanks to those who keep sponsering me. Had email from CR today asking if the local press could contact me in respect to why I'm running and daughter #1 ran R4L. She's v excited, I best get a haircut!!!!!

Can't wait for the book CLP

Hi Chris

A bit like my calendar 'cept mine's full of babysitting duties, any chance of a swap?!


The Spinnaker Tower in Pompey has a glass floor, all the littlies were walking on it, but I politely gave it a miss!

Darce - trust me, it's hooomid out there, as you will find out at 5pm! Would be nice to see the sun tho'

Beezer - glad you're sounding more upbeat now, not like you to be frazzled!!

Welcome AuntySandy

Annie - it's raining like you never saw before me duck. (Norfamps).

Just had txt from mate lying on the beach in Suffolk!! How cruel if life?

XX

oooOOOooooOOooooh



available at all good (and some rubbish) bookstores x x x

genge - sorry to disappoint - we are all dressing as goth cheerleaders - but have asked that we do nothing else as I hate the colour pink!

genge - that should be ginge

Steffi

I'm in Suffolk. Yes, it's sunny but very very muggy. We so need a storm to clear it.

Gonna go get my fan outta the bedroom.

Make of that what you will people!

Deevs
x

sb, s'ok, also I like the originality of the goth cheerleaders, not all kitted out in one of those henpartypacks...

Gingembre: And you can pre-order!!!!!

SB: At least you're not going to be like the Hen group I kept passing in Edinburgh a wee while ago. I knew, from far away, that they were from Newcastle!! Pouring rain, freezing cold, and they had hardly any clothes on! And they weren't sober!!!!

xxxx

taxi for edinburgh please!!!

Deev - sorry, get better soon, it's Friday tomoz, might as well stay at home!!

Annie - Hi, nice to see you here earlier than normal! You seem to have the perfect working week! lol

Pen xx

Well spotted Ginge.....other bookstores available I guess. So shall we pre- thing a BULK order! Should give sales a good start!

Anything to go with the fan deev?

Steffi xx

Ginge - #25, bargain!!

ARF

The Boys are Back in Town - Thin Lizzy

Pen xx

Thanks for that Ginge - sounds great doesn't it.

Pen - my calendar's the same as yours, as is Annie's I expect!

Things a bit calmer now Beez? You still make me laugh even when your in a flap!

Darce xx

´óÏó´«Ã½ says storm should be moving in your direction soon Deev....

Meanwhile, 2 hunks are sweeping water as I type. This includes much beloved who still is talking to me after getting him out of his pit at stupid o'clock this morning to go swimming!!! Think dinner will be late as he will have 40winks for sure when he gets home. Bless....just can't keep up.

Steffi xx

bright annie-g - you havent seen the length of my skirt - I do hope its sunny and warm on sat :-)

This preview thing is pants! Spell check....corse I meant he isn't talking to me.

**before you pre-order**

It says it's the cd audio version on that link I posted

this says it's the hardback version though

Steffi - leccy would be good!

Deevs
xx

Or a nice bloke! No offense to Mr Deev

Must dash folks.....between the rindrops. Have a great evening all.

Luv and hugs.

Hey Chris and bloggers!
I haven't posted here for a long while and had to register again!(Formerly AS66).
Just had to warn you Chris that once Noah is a little older your schedule will be completely different! With 2 under 10's my schedule is busier than it has ever been but more or less completely taken up with what the boys are up to along with 2 new activities I have recently taken up to get out and about doing things for me (as well as a full time working mum!)!!!
We are now - all out on a Monday evening, littlest man out on a Weds, middle man out on a Thurs, LM and MM out on a Friday (soon to be me out as well), LM and MM out on a Saturday morning, all out on a Sunday morning. A never ending cycle of work, home, taxi-ing, late evening meal and bed - get up to do it all again. Wouldn't swap it for the world though.
Hope Diva and anyone else poorly soon better.
It's taken a while but am gradually finding my mojo again and have been forever lurking.
Meeting up with ChrissieS in 2 weeks (with our families in tow this time!) - and I cannot wait!
SBP - surnames - I took my husbands when we married and LM and MM have double barrelled. I took his name purely because I wanted to. If I wasn't in the NW I would join you in Covent Garden for sure but I will raise my cuppa to you on Saturday nonetheless. I didn't have a Hen Night at all - I was working away from home and we just didn't get the time for everyone to get together in the end.
Keith and Gingembre - well done on your sporting efforts - very skint at the moment so unable to make a cash donation but thoughts and prayers have been winging their way to you both.
Got to love you and leave you all for now, from a muggy NW (somewhere very near to Manchester Calling I do believe)
DDD aka AS66
A x

Gingembre: You really don't want to get in amongst a Geordie hen night, trust me!!!! They're mad as a box of frogs.

And Daisy: I so remember what it was like with 3 kids all doing different stuff. Get my own back now watching them with the grandchildren!!!!
Say hallo to Chrissie from me.

xxxx

It is nice to know I will, someday, get my own back Annie!!! Good luck to your son and daughter in law with the pink bundle when she arrives!

Will indeed pass your good wishes on to Chrissie!

DDD x

DDD, I have a list, made up with friends who've suffered through the teenage years! Fridge cruising, pinching clothes (only the expensive ones you understand), empty shampoo bottles, minging bedrooms, etc.......

You do, I promise, get your own back.

xxxxx
PS: Have left message on Bristol meet FB cos I got the times all wrong. Dementia? Moi?

xx

Well done KW with the book thing - and the running thing too but pants about working !!

Well so far I have been in and out of the darn office lugging one said chair cover (v heavy) in and out the house. Only thing wot got wet was me!!! Dozens of huge spots then it stopped !! grrrrI am determined to get it dry - mainly cos it's too big to go in my tumble dryer !! bottoms!

AS66 - wotcha - long time no blog you !!!!!!Give our love to Chrissies and have a good time.

Steffi why didn't you call the nice firemen to your flood? Oh - that's warmed me up a tad !!!! Nice.

Thanks to all for mentioning - feeling much better now - mainly due to a bit (a lot actually) of name calling on my part and the work in the house on last leg !!! I am still flitting off next week though for a day. Do you realise I can't remember the last time I bought shoes ! Noooooo!!!

Beezer xx

Annie - what have you done now??? Will check tonight. Dipstick!!!

Beez xxx

Hiya Beez. Not another blooming five pairs of shoes??

xxxxx

Beez, I know!! Stupid woman. Sit in my room till I get there and don't move!!!!

Evening All (Bit Dixon of Dock Green There)

Tiptop maybe you can help - what makes a chicken lay a completely SOFT shell? Had 1 the other day and it looked like the umb cord was there too - still ate the egg it was OK! Sometime you get just a weeny bit of soft top but it was weird.

Got the neighbours looking after them while I'm on my holibobs. Hope the weather's kind to enable us to sit out of an evening with copious amounts of plonk - wonderful.

Toodle pip

BLYipE

Evening peeps
Apologies for absence, but can no longer blog from work. It's so horrible wanting to join in the banter - (yep you've guessed it, I can still read it!!)but not being able to.

Wanted to suggest to AF that she put a bottle of Yorkshire rain in her hamper for her pal - but couldn't.

Deev - hope you are feeling better, honey,you must have been bored based on the amount of posts on FB!!

Off to do the washing up, back later.
ttfn, Crumpy xx

Hi all

I'd be up for a Liverpool meet, not sure about staying over though, but I can get a direct train, although it's a bit of a long-winded journey I think!

Have just been finishing off all the jobs Mr JG has started throughout the day and got bored with!

Oh, and still have the dreaded three wheelie bins to deal with!

Anyway, delivery food tonight, which is about to arrive so catch you later.

JG xx

Ripples, who you oi-ing? where's your manners?!!!

Pen xx

Hi again.

Hope everyone's feeling better if they've been poorly, beating the work monsters in submission and surviving the weather whether too hot, too wet or just plain wrong.

Have been fighting to get on past work & kids hogging lap top

Probably too late for the Yorkshire Parcel but surely it needs a whippet in some way.


I hope everyone who is getting together in Bristol on my birthday has a lovely time. Getting close isn't it?

Seza x

Evening....

Back home, boy in bed, toys tidied........
Now I'm bored.........

Though I have bought meself a bottle of beer for tea tonight, when I get round to making it - didn't have luch till 3.30pm as the meeting went on and on........
