Hi Tortie-cat, and welcome, hope you didn't find it too scary and will blog again!!

TTW. x

Christoph - a very happy anniversary to you and Tash for tomorrow and can't wait to hear what was planned for you ......

ARF - can you please, please, please play 'These Words' by Natasha Bedingfield? It does mention the words 'I love you, I love you, I love you' which, since it's your anniversary tomorrow, might be appropriate?! Alright, perhaps a tad too tenuous but pleeeeeeeees

Love 'n stuff,

jillygoat xxxxxxxxxxxx

PS Hazel - I'm just listening to R2 and they're playing 'Getting better every day' - I really hope you are, petal xxxxx

PS WELCOME NEWBEES

Sorry didnt mean to shout!

sir_slim_jim - top of the class - 100%

From a huge blur fan who was the right age at the right time too!

and when I say huge - I have lost weight this year ;-)

Question for the regulars: do you ever call into the show? I'd like to go on Woman's minute but am too scared!

Ah Christophe, the anniversary eh...di you remember all on your own, or did you remember because your delishus wife mentioned it...have a wonderful time, whatever you may be doing. I reckon hot-air ballooning m'self.

By the by, is it the same Colonel who invented the chicken? Or is that just me.

Jilly, it's all you, you, you, isn't it! It's the new 'super-fabby' way that everyone's name appears...and I am getting better every day thank you...

my first cat was a tortie
love
hazel

Amy - never called into the show but I did call in to his sat show he did before and speak to the great man himself - that was a few years ago now!

Arternoon all - Wotcha newbies and a first up Amy too !!

Said on previous blog but hope you have a great anniversary Christoph. Saturday blog would be good so we know what the surprise is.

For those who want to know, I had a text from Deev at 1.30 -(just before all hell broke loose here) to say she was in Docklands supping a beer!!!

Just after that one of my clients appeared at the door - let in by the decorators - dog went ballistic for some reason and wouldn't leave him alone! Must have smelled nice or somekink! Then the police - nosey neighbour wanted one of the deccys car moved - stoopid cow - she just likes moaning - nothing better to do and nowhere near her place!!! Off to town to go to bank and the world and his wife were trying to park - very badly!!! Traffic everywhere. (I managed - gloat gloat).

Now back in office with me tea and a ciggy!!! Calm !!!

Beez xx

ps (those now in possession of deevs address - Annie Debs Scoob - and of course me)!

pps the answer to my Q 2 was Rab C Nesbitt btw !!!

Hazel - great news, you sound as if you have turned a corner! It would be fab if Chris played that tune.

Pen xx

Hi Chris and the team,

Love the show

Stephen Frost

What was the Advert Joy Division had to re-mix love will tear us appart for? (and spoiled a great tune in the process)

PS not huge either...I was, the wasnt, then was quite big, now going back down again! lol

You see I think All My Loving by The Beatles would be much cooler! I've been watching out for the post to arrive and then it arrives an hour after it was posted! Whats going on with my RSS! Not Good!

Beez..your neighbour sounds a nightmare..cant you just tell her to bu**er off!

Well done to SSJ..next question please.. (i`m determined to get one!)..my nickname is not Competitive *insert real first name here* for nothing!

And Pen..did notice you`d signed yourself off twice but thought it rood to mention!

Hiya Nick - didn't see you squidge in there !!

Jim - Not a clue I'm afraid!!

Beez xx

Pen xx

How rude of me, hello to the new folk! Please keep blogging, it's good fun!

Afternoon Bondy, it's been a sticky day here as well, not helped by the fact that our office air conditioning has packed up.

JG x

Hiya all

love ya all billie xxx

Jim - you've got me there - not a scooby!

Glad you're feeling a bit better Haze - hope you have a nice relaxing weekend.

Beez - At least its not boring at your house!! Soon be time to chill out with a nice big glass of red for FNWC.Thanks for the answer to your second question - was wondering about that.

Darce xx

Scoobs - actually my pologees, I read your comment wrong. Now going for that lie down, promise!!

Pen xx

Hi JG..... oooo no AC, that's not good....... I know it's going to be bad here when the weatherman says the humidity is going to be oppressive..... yuck

Now James has snuk in there, I can't keep up - Hi James.

Hi also to newbie, Stephen

Pen xx

Hi James - mega good luck for Monday xx

Darce x

Afternoon peeps and hi de hi to the newbies - welcome to the fun.
SSJ - too difficult question for me.

Beez - your nosy neighbour sounds a right pain. How did she get the police yo call? They ougt to charge her with wasting police time.

Crumpy x

Going to slope off home in a mo. Hope everybody has a great weekend and catch up with you all Monday xx

Darce x

Thanks Darce, Hi Penny

Perfick descriptions Pen/Crumpy. She lives half way down the cul de sac almost opposite us (well away from me thank heaven) and deccys car (which he doesn't usually bring - the 2 come in the van) was down there - Nowhere near her!!! Poliss came cos she told them it had been there for 2 days - achually been there since 9 this morning!!! lying c*w too!!!far better I would have thought than on our road - which is used by kamikazi (sp) bus drivers and boys on buzzing bikes - at top speed !!! Grr - nothing better to do!

Beez xx

Well done getting todays ARF, Tins!

Crumpy xx

well done sparkle......

Tinsel - so glad you got ARF, very well done and deserved after the week you've had. So chuffed for you xx

Pen xx

Great song Tins!

Dragonxx

SSJ - was it a coffee or car advert? Otherwise with the others, absolutely no flamin' idea!

Welcome to all other newcomers - only blogged (is there such a word??!!) a couple of times myself, am trying to keep up with the shenanigans!

Am excited as I'm having new furniture being delivered tomorrow.... I liked it when I ordered it a couple of months ago so fingers crossed I'll still like it tomorrow!

Have good weekends one & all x

wtg Tins!
So glad to hear about the new job Bondy, not been about much so don't know details, good luck!
Happy b'day for Monday to Deev and Tuesday to AliB, have fun girlies!

Tiggs xxx

Thanks Tiggs,

Happy birthday CtD and AliB.....

Nice one Tins!! Good choice.

And can I just tell yous all who sent me the good vibes at the start of the week that my own little Girl With The Kaleidoscope Eyes has just been given a clean bill of health. Migraine is what it was, she may never have another and is fighting fit.

I have to say, I'm a happy, thankful and extremely relieved mummy.

Big XXXXXXXXs.

Clodagh.xx

Clodagh - v v pleased for you and your GD, what a relief!!

Pen xx

Clodagh, that is great news. I'm convinced it is more worrying when someone you care about is ill that when you are ill yourself.

All the 'right things' are said but until that all clear comes through, you are almost afraid to relax.

Crumps xx

Clodagh, that is fantastic news, so glad she is ok
Tiggs xxx

Hi All

Clodagh, really pleased to hear your GD is ok. hopefully they are right & it will never happen again but if it does, at least you will know what's going on

Seza

Hello all, not blogged in a little while. Hope you and Tash have a fab anniversary weekend... do let us know what she's got planned...

Hope everyone has a great weekend, am sooo looking forward to 3 days off work, it's been a long week!

Rx

That's great news Clodagh, really happy for you and the GD!

Well, I've snook away early, as it was unbearable hot in the office, and managed to stop for supplies of wine, but have forgotten the milk - oops! Still there's enough for his coffee in the morning, so should be OK, and I need to go out in the morning to take Finlay for his haircut.

I've also managed to scare the living daylights out of myself with the house alarm - assumed Mr JG hadn't set it when it didn't beep when I opened the front door, wandered into the kitchen, upstairs, back into the kitchen, into the lounge, booted this up, stood up, and off it went!!

Nearly had a heart attack!

JG x

JG - that would have been a 'tena lady' moment for me! never mind the heart attack!

C x

PS - is the wine for later at FNWC?

Hi Rosie, hope you enjoy your long weekend...

Thanks Bondy, hoping to check out a bit of the Edinburgh festival fringe, if the rain ever stops!

Crumpy - I've just opened it!

Just spoke to Mum too, and she's feeling much better, and blood tests results seem normal. I think she just over did it when she was away with my sister and the kids, and got a nasty cold too.

The only thing that'll stop me going to the Liverpool meet is if we have a free weekend to get there to see her!

JG x

Has FNWC started, or is it just me?

oooo rosie, I haven't done the fringe for years.

Hi Rosie

I think my Mum was lucky with the weather at the beginning of the week! she really enjoyed the street entertainers etc.

JG x

Evening!

Happy Anniversary Chris - Hope your surprise is a good'un!!!

T'other is putting the boy to bed so I've actually 10 mins to myself! Although it sounds like too much fun is being had, rather than putting to bed.........

SSJ - No clue without actually hearing it!!

Clodagh - glad to hear all is well with GD

Can't believe it'd Friday already....t'other will be going back to base on Sunday....BOOOOOOO! Had a luverly week, gone much to quickly, back to normal weekend routine tomorrow (me kicking the boys out of the house so I can clean!!!) and then a week at home with the boy on my own.........
HELP!!!!

Better go do Grown Ups tea,
ebx

JG - glad your mum is feeling better.

Rosie - I have only been to the Fringe once, in 1999. We had a fab time and saw a real mix of shows both free and paid for. Straight plays, the Reduced Shakespeare Company, comedians, a Judy Garland drag act, a Jacques Brell musical evening, not to mention jugglers and fire eaters!!!

If you get there, have a fab time.

Crumpy xx

Ebs - saw the vid of the boy, of FB. what a sweetie!

C x

I'm just hoping no-one can see me dancing around, or hear me singing badly! LOL

Thanks Crumpy - like all little boys he can be the devil incarnate as well, but most of the time he's like that!!

He was out with t'other yesterday in a local park, and managed to get a cupcake from a nursery group on a day out, just by looking at them......

ebx

You want to take him jewelery shopping with you! Might end up with some diamonds.

C x

Dancing to Valerie? Me too and singing v badly.

crumpy I would have been up for the Jacques Brell.... bet that was fab....

James

It was done ny an actor, whose name I can't recall but yes it was unusual and really entertaining. It was one of the two shows that we chose because we would never go and see something like that on a normal night at the theatre. The other was the drag act which was wonderful. Not over the top but really classy.

I hadn't thought of that!!!! Might try it!

Really must go do tea, the 5th meal of the day for this cook.......t'other doesn't generally like what I put up for the boy (the healther option) so we end up eating separately!

ebx

Hi Bondy!

ebx

crumpy, I recently downloaded Jacques Brell is alive and well and living in Paris. I had it on tape for years, but hadn't listened to it for ages...... great stuff....

Hi ed, had a good day?

I love the street performers at the fringe too! Will see if I can get to a show or two as well. It doesn't help this year that Princes St is completely dug up for the tram works, so if you're walking around you're fenced in on one side of the street. Then you have to dodge all the tourists who stop in the middle of the street to take photos of the castle! The tattoo is also in full swing, I can usually hear it from my flat if I have my bedroom window open...

Rx

ahhhh the tattoo, fun times....... used to like to go the the royal tournament in london as well........

Yep, Mum went to the Tattoo as well, really enjoyed it!

Sorry, it was probably her in your way LOL

JG x

We were always dispatched on a school trip to either Madam Toussards (sp) or the Royal Tournament - I always got the RT cos it was cheaper!!

So after the third time, decided to leave and go out for a smoke, like you do, and got away with it, joined up after saying I'd been in the loo all the time!

JG x

Actually, thinking about it, I've never been to MT - can't spell it and won't try again!

JG x

Tinsel.....fair play to ya...well done with the ARF....as others have said, you deserve it hon'.xx

H Bondy, JG (top down?) Crumps etc...and everyone else...

May we give a BIG WELCOME to the FNWC!!!

TBx

TFI Friday....

Hi Baz..........

Evening all. Had a text from Deev asking me to tell Bono to get a move on. Just had a phone call - heaven knows where she is - couldn't hear a word! Told her to text - as follows - ..........

"Having a good time - Elbow awesome - U2 next - Bit Hyper - Say Hi to all from me x"


Beez xxx

Hello, it's me .
Not been around for a week or so , have had tonsillitis.

Hope everyone is fine and dandy. Tins, well done, was pleased for you.

Cheers , just how did it get to Friday soooo quickly.

MC xx

MC....we had this week on fast forward...hahahaha could not wait for FNWC.x

Baz, top up today, although the weather was sort of OK, as in dry, was in desperate need of air/con!!

Beez, my guess is 8.45pm at least before Bono and The Edge etc appear!

Would someone please join me with FNWC, feeling a bit lonely!

JG x

Baz, your'e not kidding !

lol

MC x

Hi JG,

am having a beer, first for a long time, mmmmmmmm

bottoms up ;-)

MC x

Poor Mr JG was desperate to see Depeche Mode, and was also conscious of my problem with heights, found all sorts of tickets all over the country, even looked at Dublin, but eventually got side view seats at the MEN - he'll still have to hold on to me when we're walking down though!

JG x

Cheers MC!!

Glad to see you back, hope you're feeling better!

JG x

Thanks JG, yes loads better thanks. Had a really bad few days, funny how these virus things get you.Been burning the candle for a long time, so i guess i need to slow down a bit ....

Enjoy Depeche Mode, hope you have a decent view. Not been to the MEN for ages, used to go nearly every week for the ice hockey.
