Thanks for the Sunday blog CLP!

My Mum lives near where you are, and said the weather was pretty horrid!

Enjoy your break, you deserve it!

JG x

CLP - have a great holiday - and enjoying your tweets - have a well deserved rest and we will be here when you get back

Well what a treat for a sunny Sunday afternoon here.

Are you posting the Friday book signing pictures Chris? Seems a shame to miss all those lovely people off.

Enjoy your well earned rest when you get it!!

Loving the idea of a Drivetime blog meet but 23rd December?? Not sure I can make that as we break up on 24th until January so trying to take off 23/24 could be problematic.

Just a thought though CLP as so many of us live a distance from London if you are going to organise the DTBM (Drive Time Blog Meet) please can you do it as soon as you get back from your holidays so that we can all make the required arrangements.

I thank you - your new older sister!!! xxx

Enjoyed YOU on Rossy and Saturday Kitchen ,wer'e having Lamb today but not how you had it ,that looked yummy .

LOL Sus - well you do look alike on your pic!!
Hiya JG Baggy and Bridge xx

Now about this ironing cover Deev ? does it work 'cos I fighting a losing battle here!!!

Beezer xx

Beez do you think we should all send Deevs our ironing to see if it really does work?

Hi all, made it to ox safe and sound but the rain was hellish :) No readying for a fun week at work...bath and book on the horizon methinks.

Just wanted to clarify one ickle thing from the last blog for Croc....no cage rattled I assure you bud, just read your back comments is all and thought some of them were a little caustic ... if that is sarcasm then fine as I did not read them in context so that is all.

Sorry to hear you had an asthma attack from the blog! Hope not too serious!

Take it easy and take care of yourself...don't get would up by anything I type...99.9% of it is gibberish in any case and none of it is meant to be harmful...and if it is then I apologies unreservedly..the last thing I would intend.

Right back to the shed

After your earlier tweet Chris went to the Celtic Manor and nobody about! The sun was out here aswell. Have a great round tommorrow. Perhaps I should drop my copy of your book up there for you to sing being as I missed out in Cardiff on Friday, I'm only down the road!

*wound

Just having anice glass of sherry before dinner .

Ooh nice Bridget - how refined xx

Hi Chris,

I was surprised to see a sunday blog! Hope you have a good holiday.

Looks like I'm going to have to figure out how to Tweet!

Hope everyone's having a good Sunday, I was really sad to hear of Steven Gately's death when I woke up, RIP Steven!

Love to all MCM xx

Cheers Bridge!

Just about to dive into a cheeky shiraz before Mrs MfR knocks up her legendary - in this house, anyway - butternut squash (homegrown) and chestnut risotto.

MfR

Afternoon

Ironing done. Well, finished it at half two actually .... not sure about the claim that the super-cover halves the time, but it did seem to have an ickle effect on the pile going down quicker than norm.

Poor norm!

Beef stew been in for 2 hours now and smells delish.

Caught up with 2 episodes of FlashForward - freaky tv.


CLP - have a fab week, try and get some R&R yeh?!?

Deevs

Susan B , I'm not refined ,a bit on the quiet side lol .xxx

Matt, cheers to you too ,your weekend seemed to go well.Can't wait to here the next installment about your travels. Alaska ,what a place eh!!.
So it's your big one next year ,the you know what ???.It can only get better as it's what you make of it .

Bridge . .xxx.

Matt, that sounds like a wonderful meal, I wish I lived nearer and you could save me a doggie bag!

Deev, leave poor Norm alone!

Bridge, now you mention it, I fancy a sherry, but not got any :(

I've got a dead leg, as a certain dog's been sprawled over me for about two hours. We're still watching this motor race, been watching on and off since 1pm, and it's only just over half way through!

Oh and Flintoff the fish is still alive - Mr JG said he was disapponted it do more?!? Not sure what he expected a goldfish to do??

JG x

Hey JG ,he didn't expect it to jump through through hoops did he .hehehe!!!
Bridge . .xxx.

Afternoon all, wasn't expecting a Sunday blog, how exciting!

Made it safely back to the 'burgh, first load of post hols washing is drying just now, second load about to go in.

Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday, once I've put the washing on and phone me Ma I'll be slobbing out and recovering from the 220 mile drive!

After adding my dumplings I leave lid off and they go all crispy on top. Just how I like 'em!

btw, nice to have another bloke on the blog, welcome back Rob!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday each and every one of you.

Pen xx

This is a real foodie blog this weekend.

I've had my roast and I'm still getting hungry reading about what you are all having

Seza xxx

Seza, no more ironing I'm afraid! just had lovely shower, new pink PJs on, fluffy white robe waiting for AFTER dinner (otherwise it'll end in tears, as we both know....!)

Decided on a bottle of Merlot with dinner, which is breathing as I type.

Cath - I've got a couple of goaty avenues to explore and I'm not talking about Mr Bagpuss's chinny chin chin!

Thinking about it, the pink PJs, the white robe ..... I look like a life-sized marshmallow! And just as sweet and squshy!!

What was I saying earlier in the week about not taking myself too seriously ...!?!?!

Laters.

Deevski, Queen of the Dumpling
x x x x

peeeeeeeeeeeees: pink fluffy slipper sox to complete the marshmallow look - thanks Bridge!! x x x

BEst you not sit too close to the fire Deevs, you'll be proper toasted!

Seza xx

Evening chaps/chappettes,

Have returned from the brink of really not quite aliveness and I'm pleased to see the blog maintaining its generally cheerful, silly and supportive manner. Also pleased to see some of the wanderers returning.

Altho, now that I'm getting back into the swing it would appear CLP is wandering off himself and therefore I will undoubtedly find myself losing the plot fairly swiftly. Nothing new there then!

Holibob was fantastic, and now in the process of planning the next one. Looks like India, including Ranthambore to track down the tigers, but I must say - Alaska! Very very envious right now!

Sweet and sour pork for dinner here. That'll be chinese styley food for the past 4 days - but who's counting!

laters,

MW,a!

Evening all - its a hello from a dark and chilly darn essex.

Had a little bit of fairy dust delivered to my house earlier - MTF - cake lovely - unfortunately GD felt so too - may not be much left by the time I get home!!!!

MTF is also a whiz with the jams and chutney and of course the most important - a pound of sloes for which she and GS risked life limb and a green bottom for - MUCHLY THANKS dear!

Right going to see if I can find and fast forward in an hour ont lappy last nights Xfactor before tonights show

catch you in a bit

loving your work

BUT OI! CHRIS - WHAT ABOUT FRIDAYS SIGNING PHOTOS!!!!!!! FEELING LEFT OUT :-(

Hiya Chris,

Nice to see you on a Sunday, you are spoiling us this week ;o)xx
Have a great time in Portugal xx

Hi Rob nice to see you back on the blog.

MwA - Hi, I love your holiday pics, especially the elephants,so cute.

Just had a nice relaxing bath with Arran Aromatics bubble bath - gorgeous! Thanks ChrissieS xx

Cheryl - I purchased some slipper sox today, how cosy are they? Roastie toastie toes - fab!

Roast chicken for me tonight!

Mary xx

What a picture you paint Deev - pink fluffy marshmallow!!! I'm in summer T shirt and shorts!! Mr B had the heating on all day (utter bliss when I was ironing - not !!!) cos he poorly boy still!! I will say no more!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh !!!!

MTF - I can see your grin from here!!!

Hiya Cath, Pen, Seza and Mwa. Brilliant to have a Sunday blog.
Enjoyed this weeks ones too from all over the country. Let him keep his bluebottle Tash - we may get the odd comment from Portugal!?

And did I read that correctly ? Cheltenham signing at the Lit festival? There you go Thunder - haven't missed him after all being over the pond !!!

Off to check meat and put spuds in. Back inabit

Beezer xx

See - I blink - and in pops Mary and Debs !!!! Hi girlies !!
Beezer xx

evening all, hope you're well?

6 earlies done, 2 days off ahead. Came in from work to plate of roast dinner to die for. (MrsW far too good to me).

Got an assessment tomorrow to work in a different department. It's the same one I passed last year before mucking up the interview the week after. It's a practical 'live situation' assessment. Fingers crossed.

We didn't exchange contracts on Fri so hoping for that to happen tomorrow too. All a bit annoying how long moving takes. This is my 5th or 6th house purchase and it still baffles me how long it all takes in this day and age of high technology. Oh well procedure takes time I guess.

Dec 23rd is a toughie, not sure I'll get the night off at this late notice but wil try my hardest if that is the date.

Hey EJR and MfR, good to see you back, hope you're well.

CLP - All this talk of guerilla signings - you gonna come to Norfolk for some monkeying around???

bonnet de douche

KWx

Hey beezer & other gorgeous bloggers!

Roast dinner consumed - kitchen sparkling - ironing to be done in time for the girls and I's dose of the X Factor. Robbie Williams - I cannot wait yippeee..................go the 'fro

Hi Beesmum xx

Hi Gingembre, goodluck with the assessment and house completion xx

Cathmel, looking forward to Robbie too ;o) xx

Mary xx

Good luck with the contracts KW, when we moved in here it was a nightmare for some reason, but all sorted in the end.

Not sure I can do 23rd December, as heading to Wales on 24th, and won't have any leave left.

Motor race still ongoing - crazy race! 140 of 161 laps completed - Mr JG hasn't moved since 1pm!! Fun though, and crazy circuit.

Oh, and can't do thick socks, have to have cold feet...I'm just weird..

JG x

Oh, and a bit concerned that twitter is turning me into a stalker!!!!!

Now on twitter, but got kicked off. You might be able to work out who I am! So, what zackly is happening on 23rd dec? Something I've missed I guess...

MW, a!

Hey Beezles! - struggling with the I-player - rubbish signal in this room so going to give up and just watch the tele!

News flash! (2nd time today) gone for the chicken in tarragon for me tea!!! LOL

KW - good luck with the assessment - need to chat to me - usually on the other side of the recruitment side - any top interview tips you need??? Deevs has my # if you do - happy to oblige

OH DEAR - just seen a bit of that Ricky bloke - OH DEAR!

go Stacey!!

go one check it out!

debs

Hiya Debs

Sure he was singing live, as wasn't the polished finished product that the single is, yes there was his voice and others on the backing track

But defo him singing over the top

x x x

A Sunday blog - what next?! Thoroughly enjoyed Jonathan Ross. How amazing was the waterproof hanky? But what happens if you blow your nose?? Eughhh!!

I presume you lot were not watching antiques road show!!!!

And breathe - very deeply !!!!

Beezer xx

debs

Helllloooooo

Did you all go somewhere else?

Anyone around?

Seza xxx

Hi Seza ! watching Doc Martin then M McIntyre on Beeb1 after!!! No idea where they have all gone ! Got the vapours - apparently Robbie has been on tv???

Beezer xx

Saw end of Antiques then turned over to the Doc.

Missed Robbie

Maybe that's why we still compo mental!!

Seza xxx

Probably Seza !!!

Beez xx

Back on here at last, Ducks all dished up and the "boys are doing the washing up"

Debs, can so see you shouting out that comment about the, FEELING LEFT OUT THINGY.

Debs also met Mr Mobs today, now am a tad worried as I think he now gets this blog AND likes it.

What do I do, if he wants to join in??

Is there A Mr and Mrs Blogger already in situ here??

This is my space and I quite like it, it gives you a chance to be what you want to be and IF you dont like it, well there is always the OFF button.

What would the rest of you do IF the O/H wanted to join in, so to speak, ??

Bugger!!!

MTF, please let me keep that last comment ,was sposed to be burger.

Oh Beez Couldn't you just slap Doc M?

She loves him

He loves her & he so wants that baby.

Maybe we should go & sort them out

Seza xxx

PS Who do you reckon is going to have to do the emergency baby delivery - Doc M or the red head?

MTF Mr Seza wants to come to whatever is going on at the O2 on 23rd Dec.

Not sure he knows Bloggers might meet up there!!

Seza xxx

No need for aplogies EJR. but thanks anyway.

Superbagpuss, My asthma is getting worse and that is why I have closed all Internet applications. After years of corresponding with a certain person I think the time was right. You see in many ways no one on the Internet is real it's just what they want to pretend to be.

That's what I found.


a beach hut is far superior to a shed I find.

Seza, hi, way to go, OK , I am defo going to anything going on , on the 23rd.

Some of us need to put our heads together and sort out how we can make it possible.

Challenge on.

MTF.xxx

Doc Martin will deliver Seza !! Yes - lets sort them out !!

Mr B reads occasionally but soon loses interest - Haven't told him how to just look at my comments ! Anyone here does that ...........don't you dare!!!

MTF Errol nd Mwa are a couple on here - engaged doncha know!

Beez xx

evening all what a night!

I'm wondering if I should have my own geurilla book signing tommorrow. Is it a bit rude to just turn up? O/h is willing to try for me. What do you think?

Easyjob, we need to tslk sheds, mine has wall to wall carpet.

MTF.xx

I'm back too, just recovering from watching an 8 hour motor race - well not continuously, although Mr JG did.

Used to use the same message boards for F1 as Mr JG, but that's slightly different to this, although I don't think it'd be a problem if he posted here. For all I know, he reads it anyway....

If you're worried MTF just explain that this is your space and ask him not to join.

JG x

TSLK, ha, maybe talk first!!

Luckliy I can get to O2 easily so as long as I can ask/bribe/pay someone to look after the kids I'll be there.

Have just found out tho that Mr Seza's parents are going to big Christmas Spectacular Show at O2 that evening so think we could be en fammile.

I will explain to them tho that I am hoping to meet you lot there. Hope it goes down ok.

Seza xx

Seza

The 02 is a dream for us to get to - 6 mins on the toob from Stratford station. When I went to see Prince there, it finished at half ten, and we were on the train home to Coooooooooooooolchester by 10.50. Unlike gigs at Wembley - ugh!! Horrible place to get to from Liverpool Street Station.

Mr Deevs gawn to bed - another 5am start.

Deevs
xxxx

hiya MTF

Mine has my washing machine and tumble in, and carpet though not wall to wall

X

We've driven when we've been before. Mr Seza likes driving so me ok

We saw Prince too. Wonder if we were there same night?

We were up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay high. Wanted a parachute. Wouldn't want to be that high up again.

Think Chris's do must be in the Indigo, very cosy

Seza xxx

Deevs

WEmbley so much easier for me as we can drive, though there now seems to be a major no parking zone on event days of 2 miles.

O2 great if the trains and underground is working properly, but last 2 times they have been a bit dodgy to say the least.

Propa

Propa

We going to Wembley end of the month to see Fleetwood Mac. Haven't been there for ages. Think Mr Seza's boss driving - well at least we going in his car, Mr Seza might drive. Not sure how long it's going to take us

Seza xxx

I've got 02 in a couple of weeks for Green Day, and then Wembley in November for my hot date with James Morrison .... hmmmmmmmmmmm!

x x x

Could you not find somewhere a little more intimate Deevs?

xxx

tis fair to say there will be one or two others there with me and James ....

You are a kind & generous person to share your special night Deevs but surely he'll only have eyes for you!!

xxx

Hello ...Everyone !!!!

a blog on sun .. we are blessed!!!!

CLP nice to hear from you and have a great week!!!!

Billie is a bit energy drained today !!!!

Billie xxxxx

Seza

Driving is fine, lots of no parking signs on event days. But still quicker to park outside the zone and walk it. We always get home before anyone who parks in proper car parks. Though husband does like to route march me back!!!!!!!!!!

x x x

lol Seza! Did you know he wrote "You Give Me Something" for ickle auld me ....?!?

Hi Bills. Early nite then?

Thanks Propa

I'll mention that but think Mr Seza and boss are planning details of expedidtion. I'll just go with the flow, I think

xxx

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

no way !!!!!!

had a great day at work .. boss was in a lovely mood!!!!

You ok ?

Billie xxx

It'll fine Seza have fun.

off to see Spandau Ballet at the O2 in a couple of weeks. Hopefully will go shopping before hand as well.
