Birthday Anyone ?

Chris Evans | 10:16 UK time, Monday, 29 March 2010

Our boss Hells Bells from Hull, Jonny, and myself - all within four days of each other. Now what are the chances of that ? And Helen and Jonny are the same age, to boot !

Hells was gifted wine from - I'd like to say my cellar but I have to be honest and say the wooden box in the corner of my office - Johnny will be gifted windscreen wash: non vintage.

As for me, I really don't want anything. I honestly have everything I need and I'm still here, which for a while looked like very long odds.

I hope your Monday is the best it can be.

Lots of love,

CLP

    My boss and I, and two other co-workers all share May 1st as our birthday, albeit in different years :O)

    It means we all get free birthday drinks in the pub from the boss, but it also means we can't hide, I mean work from home, on our birthday.

    Happy birthday Hells Bells. I am sorry, but I dont believe Johnny is the same age as Helen. He HAS to be older than 21.
    Happy birthday Johnny and CLP for later in the week

    Best wihes to all the bloggers. I am glad the Glasgow meet was a success.

    Wow Chris, all Aries. Does this mean that you all get on or all clash, not sure. Anyway Happy 1st April birthday.

    I don't know anyone with a birthday this week but I married my ex husband on 1st April which was appropriate as it turned out.

    Mu7st go now, squirrels to feed.

    Happy birthday week everyone.

    I am so pleased to hear the scottish meet went so well!!!! The recent meets have clashed with other things I have had on but I am hopeful of coming to one soon!!!

    I had a lovely weekend and met up with my best friend ( a monthly occurance) at Jamies Italian in Guildford - fab food and company!

    Have a great one and all.

    Morning Christoph,

    Happy Birthday to Hels Bels for today.

    Can you please wrong bong Jonny. I believe he said last week that he shared his bithday with Neil Kinnock, well according to the Daily Telegraph Neil's birthday was on Sunday!!

    Glad the Glasgow meet went well and that you all had a great time.

    I did something for the first time yesterday - went to the cinema on my own!!

    Hi everyone!

    Happy birthday Hels Bells! Have a great day!

    Haven't caught up on the blog over the weekend but hope the Glasgow meet was good and did not involve A & E in any way! Still any chardonnay to be found in Glasgow??!!

    Spent this morning in rheumatology - poked, prodded, x-rayed, booked for MRI and shot full of steroids but the shoulder is still frozen. I hoped Spring would wake it up a bit - you know, get up one morning to find a daffodil sprouting - but like the Selfish Giants garden, the shoulder remains firmly in winter mode.

    My big excitement of the weekend was getting the hair chopped. Decided I was getting a bit old for long locks so now have a nice shoulder length bob. Trouble is, its gone curly so look like Orphan Annie. Am now avoiding being captured by a wicked witch and locked in a tower as the handsome prince won't be able to rely on my long tresses and will need a ladder.

    What is in those steroid shots???!!!!!!

    Hi everyone,

    Glad you all had a great time at Disneyland, however I'm sure it wasn't as good a time as we all had in Glasgow.

    Started off at 1pm in All Bar One drinking rose wine like there was no tomorrow, then onto La Tasca for din dins and more wine - very nice, then to The famous (or should I say infamous) Horseshoe Bar for Karaoke great fun and guess what - yes more wine. The only one of our group who sang was Jovial and he was fab! Everyone was just lovely, Mary and Chrissie did so well with the organising and the Saturday went like clockwork. Sunday met up again for lunch and Jovial treated us birthday girls to a lovely bottle of champagne, thank you very much. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I had the car on the Sunday as I think I drank enough rose wine to last me a lifetime on Saturday. It really was lovely to meet everyone. Thank you all so much.

  • Comment number 19.

    Hello lovely people

    Been sooo busy and haven't popped in for a few days, hope all's well.

    I'm exhausted. Night out with hospital mates, night out with work (Alice in Wonderland is odd!)ending with cocktails. Day out at the West End (Blood Brothers is fantastic-see it!)

    Now back to Monday again. Is it me or are the years going quicker?!

    Birthdays, mine is next in my family...37 in May. Life begins at 40 so plenty to look forward to :o)

    Very hectic here in the world of baking...back later.

    Love

    Christoph, seeing as we are clearing things up today, this always amazes me about birthdays:

    In a group of 23 randomly-selected people, there's a 50% that 2 of them will have the same birthday. To get the probability of a shared birthday up to 99% you only need 57 people.

    It's crazy, but it's true.

  • Comment number 21.

    Hi Gail! So glad you had a good time!

    Will try to get a pic on FB - I will ask the man nicely if he will take my photo!

    Not sure what happened to Mummy Jay - was thinking of her at the weekend. I did text a couple of times but no reply. MJ - if you are out there, come back!

    Amy_E - that does work! We went to a gig at Hammersmith Appollo couple of years back and there was a powercut so we were kept outside. To while away the time, we did start the "Birthday Analysis" and out of the 100 or so people surveyed, 14 had the same birthday as Mr P, 12 had the same as me, another 12 had the same as my friend. Uncanny!

    Its a drizzly Monday in this part of the world.

    Glad the Glasgow shin dig went well, and everyone was safe and sound !

    Well, the passport update.......... my brother and his GF are currently killing four hours over in Newport, awaiting new passports. Its not for sure it will happen but the odds look good so far. I am so anxious they get off on their trip. Am supposed to be having my blood pressure checked tomorrow, i may put it off as right now it must be off the scale.

    Deev, good luck on the interview and the navigational nightmare,

    Hey up CLP - sounded to me like a fabby time was had by one and all (particularly that Jonny Sports Saunders).

    Glasgow meeters - glad it was a success with no A&E trips - well done. ;) MTD, was not surprised to see you were last woman standing - did you get any sleep over the weekend or are you peacefully zzzzing it up at your desk today?

    JG - well done on getting part 1 of your plan into action. Finley sounds like both my boys - they hated being harnessed in to anything and would do that straightbacked resistance thing when they were being strapped into their car seats / buggies. Hopefully the pair of you will make it to the seaside next time.

    LostAliBaba - well done on going to the cinema on your tod - what did you see?

    From the previous blog - DoI was blimmin' fantastic wasn't it? T & D's Bolero was amazing and I just love the Jai (?sp) Ho routine. I had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes too. Hayley and Dan were rightful winners - their Bolero was spellbinding.

    Cheryl, hope you made it through Spag junction okay and I hope the interview went well. Just think, when you get / accept the job driving through said junction will be second nature before too long.

    I've had a fanastic weekend. Elder gorgeous boy had his Duke of Edinburgh practice bronze exped which he thoroughly enjoyed. Younger gorgeous boy had a footie match yesterday and yes the trend goes on - they got beat again - 9-1. Little troopers tho', they keep their heads up and fight to the end. I got some rhubarb planted yesterday afternoon, after clearing a veritable thicket of nettles. Lolloped on loads of horse manure and we're now looking forward to scrummy crumbles and fools. Elderly gorgeous Mum had a fall yesterday so have spent a fretful few hours wondering how she is. Doctor has said it's just bruising so we're all calm again. She's already had a broken hip which resulted in a hip replacement and we didn't want her to have to go through all that again.

    Anyhoo, lunchtime is now officially over so I'd better crack on.

    Hope you're all having a grand day - yippee for four day weeks (well three day weeks for me).

    Hi Gailyb

    Not far off on the zzzzing side, although I had less to drink on Saturday than I did on Friday and even less on Sunday than I did on Saturday....... The hotel room was very hot though and what with the clocks going forward, the generator being filled up early each morning just outside my room (there was an exhibition in the square outside the hotel) and the roadworks that started at 8.00 am on Sunday, I didn't get a great deal of sleep - but all in all still 10.5 (had to go down a bit from 11 coz I'm soooooo tired).

    JG was reading about Finlays adventures yesterday, we have special doggie seat belt (procured from tinternet which discreetly fits into the seat belt slot and then onto their harness, they are really good have used them since I had my soft top as my little terrorist always wanted to attack any lorries/pedestrians/other dogs!! also stops them from becoming very heavy, mobile projectiles if you have to break suddenly.

    Glad everyone survived the Glasgae Meet and had a good time and am hoping to get to a 'meet' soon.

    Just remembered something I meant to say ages ago. My mum is now listening to the Breakfast show but only when she's in the car as my dad can't stand music radio so does that count as another half-listener?

    Bit worried, anyone heard from Deevs recently? Hope she's not still tangled up in Spaghetti Junction!

    Goldiesmum - Ello very nice ter talk to you!!!!!!!!
    'ow iz Goldie these dees & 'ow are 'is gold teeth... especially after 'e waz in The Big Brother 'ouse last year!!!!!!
    Or waz it the one before!!!!!!????@?

    The good news iz am now at the Unilever factory waiting ter load a load of soap powder.... and the staff ere ave all been very nice ter me!!!!!!!!!
    Most nice in fact!!!!!!!!!
    They are all female so maybe that's goot something terdo with it... they probably don't feel threatened by my good looooks & 'igh charisma!!!!!!

    Annie G - A pleasue ter be able ter wish such an nice & friendly blog pal a 'appy birthdee!!!!!!! Am just VERY sorry at it being a belated wish!!!!! Soz Annie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Az for life.... yes it all 'as totally turned aroooound for me!!!!!!!!!
    In fact me only complaint iz a feel bad ave noot recently bought a lottery ticket while am on a roll!!!!!!!!
    Everything iz going unbelievably good for me!!!!!!
    Take the other dee.... a waz on me way ter London... me new girlfirend waz saying 'er daughter would like ter go ter Legoland, maybe over Easter!!!!!!!
    A said ok when a see 'er in London we can discuss/ finalise the details!!!!
    Ave 'ad some vouchers for Legoland, amongst a few places, in me wallet for over 6 months... only problem it 'as expired!!!!!!
    Then at Lime Street station a bought noot one but two bananas before boarding me.... ter release the creative mental powers on me way ter London............ And what does the assitant 'and me..... LEGOLAND vouchers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Then by the teem a arrive at London.... a get off the train & whilst on the train me investments ave gone up & am 4k richer!!!!!!!
    Then in London me new grilfriend tells me all a wanter 'ear!!!!!!!! Aka all goes VERY well!!!!!!!!!!
    THen a end up in Trafalgar Square at 3am.... looooking for the coreeeect bus 'ome!!!!!!!!

    A tell yer this iz just a small bit of what keeps 'appening te rme lately!!!!!!!!!

    Am noot boasting.... don't misunderstand me.... am just sharing the very positive/ good times with all..... az a did share the very negative/ bad times with all recently on the blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Maybe at last the years of badness in me life iz behind me and at last... at last things are finally turning the corner for the better!!!!!!!!!!!

    Some of the things wrote on the blog recently.... a would never end me life.... but when life continually gets so bad.... keeps going bad.... despite me trying ter make me life good..... yer get ter a point where yer question why yer ere.... and do yer really want this 'orrible life that yer living!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    But maybe at last the VERY difficult period I went through... of which it's 'ard ter expalin.. but it wasn't just one thing going wrong.... it waz everything!!!!!!!!!!!
    And when yer need yer close friend the most they desert you.... it makes it almost too unbearable ter live with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But maybe recently me .... yet again bad period that a went through... and believe me ave been through so many... maybe this waz me capitualtion of the bad times.... and at last me life iz gonna turn & let me live.... let me get what a want... whatta need!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    All the above iz a very good example of why yer should not end yer life if things get so bad!!!!!!!!

    A know life isn't meant ter be a breeze.... ter be easy!!!!!!!
    We all come up against serious problems in life.... but sometimes when life never gives yer a break.... yer mind does become clouded.... yer spirit broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    But the strang ething iz after all ave been through.... it's mad eme stronger.... noot weaker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    A really do feel stronger & a better person for all ave been through!!!!!!!

    And the great thing iz.... when the good times come..... it feel all the sweeter.... yer appreciate it more for seeing 'ow bad life can be.... before it becomes good!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PEACE & LOVE TER ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Chow!

    Dear Modders

    Please can Bingo be un-pre-modded now?

    I can see, and I think many others would also agree, that he is thinking carefully about what he posts so, in effect, is pre-modding himself

    If you are unhappy with what he post, you can always put him back on pre-mod

    Thank You

    Hi all

    Well, it's my Dad's and my brothers birthday on 1st April, so there can be coincidences in the same family, and I've just remembered it's March 29th and I haven't got them a card each yet! Doh!

    I'll have to raid my box of cards for emergencies!

    Goldie, thanks for the link, I'll get one of those I think, if our jaunts are to continue! I did make sure he could fall on the floor without dangling off the seat if I had to stop quickly, and it's only a two-seater, so he can't hit me! In my last car he learned how to stand on the window controls to get them open, but he can't do it in this car!

    Ali, I wouldn't dare go to the cinema alone, as I have a tendancy to fall asleep - how embarrassing would that be?! At least Mr JG nudges me to stop the snoring! Well actually, we've not been for ages as he reckons it's not worth the money for me to have a snooze!

    It's persisting it down here, so my plan for a walk to the more local park have been scuppered, and looks like we're going to get more of the same all week! I hope it's better on Friday, as I have a long drive to Wales on my own!

    Lovely to see the blog's back to k
    normal. I'm going to try to pop in more often but work's very busy at present. I'm finding myself leaving home just after 7 in the morning and not getting back in until almost 8 in the evening. Can't keep up this pace for long but I'm sure it will be worth it in the end.

    JG - i love hearing about Findley. With your permission I'd like him to be my surrogate dog. He does keep me entertained with all his adventures.

    MC - fingers crossed for your little bro. I do hope they can get away.

    All at the Glasgow meet - you were, as usual, wonderful!

    Pip, you are very welcome to have him as a surrogate dog, would you like him this weekend, as he's going to kennels?

    Or maybe MC fancies her chances with him?

    Anyroad up, he's off to kennels (which he loves) and I'm off to me sister's in Wales, and himself is off to petrol-head land at Thruxton! In my car!! Although given the forecast, he's probably welcome to it!

    I think I might need his to get to my sister's place being as it is in the wilds of the Wales!!

    Hello Everybody Peeps,

    Blimmin' 'eck today has gone from the usual do-able Monday to a completely pear-shaped Monday :( I'm on extended taxi duties this evening. The kid who's Dad normally picks up from air cadets isn't going tonight, one of the other lads has hurt his back and the third lad isn't going 'cos his Mum couldn't be bothered going out to collect them at 9pm. Elder gorgeous boy didn't want to miss the D of E debrief so I'm having to venture out in the persisting precipitation with younger gorgeous boy who is all ready to pop in his bed on our return bless him. Aarrgghh!! Is it me?

    #40 Debs, I don't mind being sober and in charge of the camera, just feel like a bit of a party pooper (boring).

    MC - any word on the travellers? I hope they manage to get away. I'm assuming the surprise has been spoiled now :(

    I'm 'playing' cyberquest at the mo. I have something attached to my back with lights flashing and younger gorgeous boy (ygb) keeps shooting me which is fine but the gun attached to the think on my back is sitting in my lap and keeps vibrating! Very strange sensation.

    Tiggs, you and I can keep each other company and have a giggle at the others.

    MWa sorry to hear yor plans have changed , hope you are Ok.

    JG , I would have loved to have dog sat for you, i read that you were at Pennington Flash yesterday, I was at my MIL's over in Lowton , only a short drive away.

    Have just this minute heard from my brother and they are heading back to London with two new passports. Am so thrilled i just had to eat a packet of mini eggs to calm myself down. Apparently , she still dosent know where they are going, except she does know she needs a passport !

    I love surprises and i am so chuffed they are going.
