Big Cheif CLP

Sure, look on the Bright side, and it is a bright side - the weather youre having over there looks beautiful . . .

Just returned from a brief 4-day sojourn & chillax in Eastern Mallorca with LovesYoungDream, back to the rain of Belfast City (where the girls are so pretty . . . )

I'm really surprised at your need to "wings" by the way - I thought you were better than that . . . !!!!!!!

Don't drink it CLP, you know you'll crash 'n' burn!

Hey CLP and bloggers

Just returned from our now annual (only second time!) camping sojourn. Up on west coast highlands, and it was fantastic. Weather very very mixed, some days on the beach and in the sea, one day constant rain, so dinner under canvas and lots of card games, and one night severe weather warning given out! all new arrivals at campsite turned away and we were on survival tactics, baton all the hatches - or at least the tent pegs - and felt like we were about to blow away. Teenanger daughter said it was like Wizard of Oz...we thought more like arctic circle camping, just like you see on documentaries on TV, noise was fantastic! But a fabulous week. And now back to the year of 2009....

Looking forward to the book Chris.

Hope all bloggers well and happy, not got time to catch up.

My advice?

Save it til after the show when you get home and stick a double vodka in it! And ice. Lots and lots of ice!

Enjoy.

See you at 17.05 Hrs.

Ah Christoff step away from the Red Bull. Keep yer hands where we can see 'em...

If yous saw what Red Bull does to suede shoes, you'd wonder what it does to your stomach.

And if yous saw what 3 of 'em plus a Slimfast every morning does to my dear mad friend Maggie, yous'd KNOW what it does to your brain.

Last time Maggie fuelled up with the Red Bull she had the place in uproar with her spectacular impression of a stampede in a farmyard and I had to stun 'er with the tent mallet and feed her triple Americanos.

Yous can laff. This is the woman with the caffeine-impregnated slimmin' tights and the P.Diddy pants with no drawstring. It's not funny.

Clodagh.xx

Aww, don't talk to me about deadlines CLP, have been stressing all week!

Just taking a quick break, cos I'm absolutely sweltering here - the air-con is still not fixed, and our windows only open a fraction (bloody health n safety)!

Thanks for all the info and good wishes for my hols, I'll definately give you a wave KW! I read that awful story too, just so sad. You do an excellent job!

Darce, what a scare, glad everything is OK now for you all and the little one.

Clodagh, hope you have a great disaster-free time.

Back soon, have an unexpected visitor...grrr!!

JG x

And I know what you mean re. deadlines.

No matter how long I have to prepare for a trip, I'll be beltin' round like a wildebeest at the last minute. With Renee thrustin' prescriptions or the Parish Magazine or a fork-full a spam fritter under me nose.

I can't really concentrate unless I'm under a certain amount of pressure. It's the same when I have an occasion to go to. I take my hat off to all you girls who buy your wedding outfit a year in advance. I'd be bored rigid with the thought of it if I ha it hangin' there for longer than a week. Ergo I usually give myself plenty time to get ready and then decide what to throw on at the last minute. By which time I've clocked meself, thought "Ew, you look like a bag a s***e in that," thrown something else on, and so on until the contents of me wardrobe are on me bed and I finish up in the outfit I put on first. Only now I'm all sweaty and me hair is like Phyllis Diller.

Familiar, anyone?

Clodagh.xx

...and I still look like a bag a s***e.

Chiz.

Clodagh.xx

Clodagh

Stop mumblin' baloney ...... you is gawjuss, you sexy beast!!

Deevs
xxxxx

No, No, No, Clodagh...can't believe that for a moment. Does sound familiar though. I' ve never got a single thing to wear!!! Well, not new this minute anyhow.

As for 'wings' Don't do it Chris - you will live to regret it. Grab yourself a 'narner (other long yellow fruits available - I think) for an energy boost. Much better for you.

Steffi xx

Dearest CLP

I have suddenly been struck down with a bout of severe yawning. Can you please email me your can of high caffeine energy drink as not even a blast of The Cure is reviving me!

Cheers sweetie!

Deevski
x x x x

Put the can Down CLP - do Not do it !!

Beez xx

Aw Deev. Sweet.

Mad. But sweet bless yous. Trust me after changin' the clobber 15 times in a mad rage I look like Robert Smith in a frock.

And as for the Wings. Was it Jo Brand who said, after watchin' that advert for Always pads, that she had incontravenable proof that women are stronger than men. Says she, "I've yet to meet the man who will put anything with wings down his pants."

Top bird. LOVE Jo Brand. Have a bit of a girl-crush on her in fact. Oh yes.

Clodagh.xx

AH JAYSUS Deev that's SPOOKY.

There's me likenin' meself to Robert Smith....

Ah. We is separated at birth, you and me hun. Psychotic.

Clodagh.xx

Spooky indeedy Clodagh!

Me and Robert were meant to be married, you know. Sadly nobody thought to tell him .....

Pass the lippy and back-comb me baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

Wednesday I'm In Love!

Deevs
xxxxx

Ah Deev. Now THERE's a thing.

You an' Robert, me an' Jo, all 4 of us with a raspberry ripple an' a stick a rock up the Front at Morecambe.

What d'yous reckon. Hurrah.

Clodagh.xx

Hurrah!! Sounds like a plan Clodagh ..... count me in!!

xx

Mind you. I'd stick out a bit between the 3 of yous.

3 Robert Smiths and Phyllis Diller.

Clodagh.xx

A scaldy little tit between the blackbirds. Hurrah!

C.xx

LOL!!! Stop it woman - I is trying to werk!! Trying being the exact description ..... and failing dismally!!!

He's still singing to me ..... he loves me, loves me not, he loves me ....

Can't beat a bit of Mint Car in the afternoon!

Never done 'energy' drinks so can't comment - altho' me thinks you should step away from it CLP!

Purple Dragon have a fab honeymoon, are you jetting of somewhere exotic?

Tango - yes please to the Pimms, make mine a double!

Off out for pizza & the cinema to catch a chick flick this evening x

Afternoon Bloggers,

Sorry for my lateness in blogging, been on a work trip to St Reatham today. I know you are all so jealous and wish for just one second that you were me!!

Just want to say: Clodagh, JG and Rips - have a smashing holiday, enjoy and come back safe xxx

sbp - Sending big love and hugs to you and Mr BP for Saturday, I shall offer up one or two for you before and on the big day xxx

Darce - Big hug to you and your family, glad all is OK though xxx

I am sure there are important things I have forgotten, so I apologise please don't take it personally.

It must be quite exciting though. I know it's work and more work, but how proud are you going to be when you have the finshed book in your hand.
Are you going to do book signings????

Hells x

Oh Hells, have a blast at the TOGs convention this weekend; if I wasn't wrestlin' with the Basque Separatists or helpin' the Spanish Fire Services extract my accident-prone companion's digit from some hole in Barcelona this weekend, I'd have bin' there.

Give 'em all one from me won't yous.

I know yous'll do that anyway you little minx, hurrah!!!

Clodagh.xx

Afternoon bloggers, well, summer is here at last!! lol I've been stuck in a wheat field following the dusty old combine waiting to fill up my trailer all day long :0( not a good day for the tractor air conditioning to fail or for the baler break down. Feel like giving up and not going back in an hours time for the night shift. Should be sat outside somewhere sipping pimms!! :0) Hey ho, farming goes on!! lol
Enjoy the summers evening all, and have a pimms for me.

Terdee ave been busy fitting me mother's toilet seat that a bought on a dee out with 'er ter Southport a few weeks back!!!!
Basically she wanted ter go ter Blackpool but 'er free pass doesn't go that far... so we settled for Southport.... RIGHT at the limits of 'er OAP pass area!!!!
Sometimes it's good ter live dangerously!!!!!
Any way whilst there a spotted a Dunelm Mill that ave been so impressed with ave bought shares in the company!!! It's going places... and we were.... where yer may ask..... ave just damn said... Dunelm Mill Southport!!!!
A wanter ter show 'er what it's all about The Mill store and that am part owner of.... be it VERY small!!!! So a toook 'er in, 'er first time in one!!!!

Then me screws dropped inter the 'ole of the pan, very easily, very...... easily and then a tightened up me nuts until all waz fully secure for operational useage!!!!!!
Last thing iz a want when am on a liason in London with The 'S' iz a phone call from me mum that 'er pine seat 'as slipped and she's wedged in the Armitage Shank and INDEED too embarressed ter call the Fire Brigade!!!!!
I'd ave ter rush back north with me WD40, rubber gloves and toilet duck - know what am sayin'!!!!!!

Afternoon All......

Chris, put that drink down.....Steffi is right the 'nana is lot better!

The boy is intent on taking all the books off the shelves - I think he may preempting my declutter!!!!

ebx

Have tried to cut the lawn, but the mower won't start!! Have pulled something in my back between my shoulder blades trying, have even kicked it and sworn at it, but it still won't start! So it's back in the shed!!

Need to do my online ELH shop for holibobs, but not sure what to get! Mr JG no help whatsoever (fussy eater and won't say what he wants cos it depends on the day - how helpful)!! Oh, and not even here, still working, and on call tonight!

Ebb, I hate 'nanas, dunno why, used to eat them, but can't now.

Better get that shopping done!

JG x

Erm...

Strike action at Liverpool Airport...

Now look. If my bag goes on a round-the-world trip while I sit playin I Spy with Norman Wisdom here and starin' at John Lennon there'll be BIG trouble.

Bingo. Get yourself over to t' airport, quick. Sort 'em out would yous, bless you. Them baggage handlers won't stand a chance with our Bingo.

What was I sayin'.....

Clodagh.xx

Oh dear Clodagh, hope you get there!!

Have been trying to track down my errant Step-Uncle who lives in Norwich for a meet up, celebrated music teacher and Morris dancer apparently!

Got an email back, and then nothing when I replied...hmmmphh

Have done the food order, cost a small fortune, and will get moaned at, but, never mind!

JG x

Clodagh, I'm sure that being as you're at John Lennon Airport it will all "Come Together" so to speak! Ay didya see what I did there La!

DD out

Well done DD!!

JG x

Oh Bingo, no powers here , just a muddled up memory. I thought i read that you hadn't got the job. I'm sure reverse persycology will work & if I say you didn't you will. Very sorry.

JG think the idea of getting shopping delivered to holibobs is brill but if it was me, I would order a load of stuff then decide I wanted something I hadn't got each day. Maybe you could just order essentials like tea coffee milk cereal (unless you're like my lot & like a lazy breakfast on holibobs) doggy food. I bet you'll find nice places to pick stuff up when you're out & about & don't forget the chance of being taken out for the odd meal or tow.

Clodagh - have fun, whereever you end up! Is this all a ruse & you're really off to AUSTRALIA?

Seza x

Seza, have ordered all but the bare essentials, cos not being delivered until Sun 11 - 1pm! Will need to take them down with us, but have ordered some BBQ stuff, dog food, will only take 6 tins with us, and he has one a day, well once he's settled he will, won't eat at first!

Mr JG's b/day too, so will have to cart down food/drink for a nice evening when we get there!

And only 50yds from a pub serving food, but will have to leave going there til Finlay knows we are stopping for a while! He gets insecure very easily!

We put it down to him being from a rescue home, and he still looks for his old family (kids), and gets worried if we leave him in a strange place!

Shopping again tomorrow for some clothes and something for Mr JG to open, looking like choccies at the moment, unless he spots something tomorrow!

Have you got your laptop sorted?

JG x

YEah

Laptop all fixed. Was apparently all bunged up with dust so now vacuumed out & working fine.

How about something like a game for Mr JG. We got a card vrsion of Monopoly recently. Just a small thing but might be nice while you are away

Seza x

Evening gang!

xx

I might look in M n S, they do travel games...

We're thinking about not taking any laptops away with us, can still read you all, but probably not post, the last one from the phone disappeared!

Have had major Mum in Law issues about the festive season, so much so that she's not speaking to us....Apparently she'd planned to have a family meal at ours, even though she'd not actually told us!! Or knew what Mr JG's shifts were!!

Can't be doing with it so early, but needed to share that he was off!!

JG x

Awww JG - families, eh? They can be a pain when you all live close knit, or like my lot, a pain when spread far and wide!

Chin up hon.

Deevs xxxx

Ey DD hahahaha, if it doesn't it'll be Instant ruddy Karma for somebody.

Anyway. Plan B is in action. Norman Wisdom's plan was to re-book the tickets and go from Manchester; but me gander's up now and I'm not to be trifled with. Ergo am takin' a smaller, scaldier bag and not takin' anything I'll be distraught to be parted from. And am tellin' meself it's goin' on its Gap Year round the world via Bangkok. Meanwhile I shall have mad hair and a sort of crushed look, and will smell like a pound a turbot come Sunday.

And you know what. I feel liberated. At last I have an excuse to look like Swampy and not give a rat's whatsit. Anyway get me. Who in their right mind do I think is lookin' at ME. Nobody, that's who. Hurrah.

So. Bring it on. Next.

Mind you I have to say I think this is a personal best that a calamity has befallen' 'imself before 'e's even left the house...

Ey. DD. I wonder if we'll Get Back.... Ha.

Clodagh.xx

Tell me about it.

Am in the midst of a bit of a family thing about a party next month but am not sure whether to say anything & let loose a load of trouble or just let it go & rise above it.

As with you, it is us being expected to fall in with everyone else's plans even tho we didn't know what they were!

Seza x

oh yet again I am sleepy of essex - met a couple of work colleagueeees after work for a cheeky chardonnay - then had sausage and mash - WELL tasty - now feel full as a full thing and ready for bed!

Well wots a girl to do when she gets dumped by a Diva hey?

Deevs - joshing!!!!!!

we are on for next choosday!

Got to go dears - I love and miss you all

back to normality at the weekend!

debs
X

Well at last Mr JG has stood up for me, I don't get to see my family much, and his lot all live 6 miles down the road and only want us they need us, if you get what I mean!

Have told him we'd go with his Mum's plans, but he's put his foot down in favour of me!! For all we know, he might be working it for the next three years!

Clodagh, hope you get there eventually, and enjoy it!

JG x

Should've been a when in there somewhere!

Hi Debs, glad you are OK!

Catch you whenever!!

JG x

Hiya

JG not sure where to out the when but glad you feeling happier about your festive plans. Isn't it a pain that it should just be a happy time yet we end up stressing about it?

Debs Have a safe journey home. See you back in Essex soon

Seza x

Right, Mr JG home, however briefly, and trying to get a shower, so am on phone duty!

Be back later!

JG x

evening,

Thanks Darce and AuntieSandy for the nice honeymoon wishes - we're going on a mammoth road trip, not your conventional honeymoon (well it is almost a year late!). Starting in Vegas, doing a tour of some of the national parks, and then to Washington DC via Santa Fe, New Orleans and all sorts. 4000 miles is the rough estimate. Eek!

Dragonxx

Evening all, Hope everyone is ok.

Margot, a special hello to you , hope you are doing ok xx

Bingo, just love the toilet seat story ..... LOL x

Clodagh, sooo, a new pb set already hey , why am i not surprised. My suitcase got lost last year and it was the most miserable time i have ever had . Stuck in Miami on a saturday in a grubby t shirt and jeans, and Mr Mc's flip flops, that were waytoo big. 90 degrees and sweating like a dont know what , everyone else dressed in skimpys and me lugging around like an overdressed tramp. had to go and buy some stuff but was so fed up couldnt even muster the will to shop.My suitcase eventually landed from NYC on the Monday morning , as i opened it, i kept hugging all my stuff , never been so pleased to see me toothbrush and knickers in me life .
So now i go wearing everything i own, ger a few funny looks but not taking any chances. !!

JG, Crimbo family crisis hey , been there done that and got struck out the will !
Families hey , we love em so much we leave the country !!

Mc , xx

Howdedoodee Neighbouroonees!

At Gatwick....check
Kids asleep....check
Alarm set for 3:30....check

Early flight (which is fine by us, can't be doing with late flights. No way! Hose A..) and then a week in Zakynthos.
Hope our travel plans run slightly smoother than Mz Rubbish'!!!

JG - Great news regarding the festive season which dare not speak its name. We are totally selfish...strictly the four of us on the big day (we see little enough of each other during the year) and then a big family do at Ripley towers the following day....well, until one of my very many siblings offers to host it, anyhoo.

So - Three cheers to Mr JG...Good man!

Bingers, old boy! Good news I hope....fingers crossed, as ever!

Okalee dokalee...a beach side apartment and a large quantity of Greece's finest larger await me...so I bid you all adieu (sp?)

Oh yeah....

Hi Tango - keep missing you buddy
Deev - behave!!!

Luv ew

Evening each

Chris, I need to chillax too. Have been chasing my tail all week and can't wait for Friday!

Hope everyone is well. xxxxx

Rips

When I am good, I am very very good
But when I am bad I am better!

mwah!

Tell the pilot to drive safe - I want ewe back in one peace (ha!) in a week's time for a goss on the dog.


And Debs2 - hell yeh!

Deevs, with a twinkle in her eye
x x x x

I thought they'd gone. All paid up and thanks for brilliant job - thanks for being nice customers.
Kitchen all sparky clean (well it is now I've cleaned the smeary, supposed to have been washed off sugar soap off everything!!!!) New clean wallpaper (bit spensive but I liked it!!)
BUT NO - just a couple of things they need to come back and check on Friday! Told you they'd moved in didn't I????

Clodagh - giss your case - by the time you get there I will have safely driven it to spanner - swiftly followed by a long drive/boat trip to greece to baby sit for Rips!!!!

JG good for Mr JG bless 'im- I've had to suffer the outlaws since I got married - go there - I cook - come here - I cook !!! May just shock them all this year and flit off somewhere - on my own!!!

That would be me out of the will too MC!!!!

Wow Dragon - that's some honeymoon drive! Hope you both enjoy.

Beez xx

Need to hear from Bagpuss - how's the last minute stuff going?

Done it again Deevs !!!

Beez xx

hehehehe!! xx

Trouble is, they all know where my Mum lives! So if I go, and that is where I'd go, they would all follow me!

But no, Mr JG has done me proud, and I'm actually very impressed, as his mum is a formidable woman, not in Renee's league though, although I think they might be related!

She's no match for me though, which is why I've been banned from calling her now!

JG x

I hasten to add, only from Mr JG, not the courts or anything!!!

Well, that's me. Thanks for all your good vibes chaps and chapesses.

And Rips. Have a blast. Am certain you will; we can trade holiday snaps if I ever get back. you can show us your white bits and I'll show yous me ankle-tag and lash marks.

And to a certain young lady with a big day this weekend; have a fabulous day won't you, we'll all be doin' our sun-dance for you, I'm sure.

Have just had a text pic from the GD, a big close-up of her big pouty lips sayin "Mwah". Now that reminds me, I need to unblock that U-bend before I go.

Ok comin' ready or not.

Clodagh.xx

Yahoo - look out Spanner - Clodagh and the accident waiting to happen on their way!!

Have a brilliant time my pansy hat wearing twin!!! (fake tan on the ankle tag should sort it)

Love Beez xx

Hahaha Tanks Beez.

I may be some time...

Now really am off, the scratcher beckons.

Clodagh.xx

Evening all - just had to jump in on the festive season catering debate.
My in-laws have come to me every Christmas since 1982. Bearing in mind that I have been divorced from their son since 1989 ...... I reckon that's a bit unusual!

What is weirder is that he lives in the same village, about three streets from me, and they still come to me for lunch then go round to his for half an hour before they go home. They also come to me on their birthdays, mothers and fathers day, easter .....

Should I be flattered?
Crumps xx

Off to bed now ..... long day tomorrow!!

;-)

Deevski
xxxx

Crumps, definately flattered! x

Hell fire Crumps - remember you telling me that at one of the meets and felt a groan coming from me big time! I presume you like them and not just tolerate like I have to? They obviously love you!!!

Night Deevs - sweet dreams - reduce the e-mails tomorrow - we both need to get work done!!!!

Beez xx

Crumps.says a lot about you.

Set me a place too please.

MTF.xxx

Hi All,

I log in and out of the blog at funny times of day, so am more of a reader than a post-er...however...
AkaCrumpy, post #66 has got to be the best post I've ever read! It just sums up all of you regular bloggers, such lovely, funny peeps.
CLP, if AkaCrumpy requests an ARF this week, serve it up to her pleeease, surely she deserves it.
Got a smile on my dial for the rest of the day now.
Laters, Tiger x

Just popped back from the dark side afore beddy byes and Tiger - if you are lucky enough to meet Crumpy one day - she is a diamond!!

Beez xx

Nightall - sweet dreams - and most of all - keep smiling - and of course - grinning like an eejit :) xx

Night Beez!

Crumpy, if you ever fancy Christmas lunch in Melbourne we'll set you a place...and your in laws of course ;)

All above is totally innocent banter.

Night Mods.xx

Ok I said well done Crumps.

I would love to spend Christmas with you.

Everyone loves you,do you like coffee...hence rhyming Hoffi coffee.

And then went on to blah di blah di blah combining Welsh n French.

Apoligising for mixing up both languages as we had to take both at the same time.

Darn it Mods..thought you had taken a seat on the back burner!

For once..I would like to INSIST that the mods put this Tribute to Crumps back on.

Make contact with me and I will explain it word for word and hpoefully see it returned to its rightful place.

MTF.

Do you ever reinstate moderated comments???

MTF.

Ok Have read the rules.Welsh or Gaelic may be used where marked!

Bring back my post and I will mark it.

Was just a tribute to one of our lovely bloggers.

Nos da..Marked!

MTF.Tres Disgruntled,,also marked!

And breathe.:)

ummm...sorry if I upset you MTF. Didn't mean too. T.

# 24 Hi Clodagh, I shall pass on your regards to Sir Terry and the plethera of clery.

Oh Chris how about the first record on Friday being "We all stand Together" as we will be recording the very first bit in A.U.S.T.R.A.L.I.A this weekend and then the big recording down at Longleat in September.

Hells x

Morning

I was feeling raring to go at 6.30 when I woke up

Sadly, I then fell back asleep & didn't wake up properly until quarter to eight, then had to get boys up, dressed, breakfasted & over to Grandma's 20mins away before getting to work on time as today is only day of month I see boss and there's a coffee morning going on too!

Have just about managed to catch up with myself. Boss has gone out of office to make a few visits so breathe.......................

Day has got to get better?

Crumpy, strange yes but as long as you enjoy their visits then why the heck not!?

Feel a tad emotionally drained already this morning - have had to lend a sympatheic ear to a friend & colleague who following the recent death of her moth has had to endure nothing short of bullying from her siblings - how sad :(
