Or you could sing it a al Millicent Martin?

Sorry I meant a la MM - meaning in the style of....

mtd ffb xxx

Good night.

I knew what you meant MTD.

It looks like it's just you me and the lurkers at the mo.

Gaily B

Chris,

I have had an interesting but good kind of week and I hope for the same next week. No alcohol since Sunday (ok, so it's only 5 days but it's a start!)

Nic the semi Jedward
x

What a busy life you lead. Enjoy seeing Parky and his wife later. Still enjoying the show and it was nice to hear Frank Sinatra on the show this week. Play more golden oldies please.

Have a nice nap, CLP! You deserve it. Best wishes to Parky - do miss listening to him on a Sunday but Messrs Ball & Wogan fill his shoes.

Nic - found me out! Whilst you and Deevs enjoyed Hamlet t'other night, I was dressed in black and hanging upside down from the chandelier fitting the webcam!! Nearly got caught too - fortunately I heard Cheryl signing "To Be or Not to Be" as she walked up the path and I had time to aqueeze myself through the air vent (why don't we have those handy air conditioning ducts in this country? Tom Cruise and Matt Bourne always find one - me, its an Expel Air and trust me, it hurts).

Anyhoo, sorry for the covert (and totally unintentional) spying action. I would say step out of my dreams and into my car but 1) don't have a car and 2) your lady would be after me with a hatchet or a twice baked garlic potato.

To said lady: hope this pm is going well!

Miss P

Busy lad then Christoph. Enjoy your snooze. When, where, who the first interview for the new book? Need to know.

Well the sun has gone, - just watched the forecast and it looks like you are sending the rain up my way Darce.
Better get the first roll up done quickly JTT - the green is going to be wet.
Heard from MTF - been to docs - up to her ears in medication (why do I always think of Hylda Baker with that word) but the little monkey is still going to try and do some work. Just get your butt back home to bed MTF!
Been sending good vibes out to all who need - hope they are working ? Wait to hear from you all with the results, baby, work, driving test, health - etc etc.

Beez xx

You're the one that I want - woo hoo hoo hooo ............

It's been a long week for me. Despite having had my day off on Tuesday, having to work today has made it seem intolerably long.

Nic, I hope you have an interesting and successful week next week.

By the way, I know someone mentioned CLP stands for Chris Lambie Pie but I think it really stands for Chris Leopard Print - I can just imagine him in some leopard print silk jammies - it'd go lovely with his colouring.

Only 22 mins 'til home time.

GailyB

Don't mock me with your "22 minutes til home time", GB!!! I have hours yet!

Same here - 160 mins (not that I'm counting ;)

Miss P, it's not all roses once I get out of here I'm afraid - I've got to collect youngest from school and then crack on with some domestic engineering.

Don't know if you noticed in the previous blog, I was wondering if you'd now be Miss E.S. P after Nic confirmed your dream was so accurate.

4 or 5 minutes now depending on which clock you go by. I'm going with the 4 minutes.

See you all for FNWC, hopefully.

GailyB

Sounds like a busy week Chris, enjoy your snooze and the weekend - which also sounds busy!!

I've had a hectic week too, but no where near as good as yours Chris. Went to see the house this morning that my friend is hoping to buy and I had very good vibes about it, so I told her to go for it! It was a lovely house and she and her family really deserve it.

I'm off now to see a woman about a dog, which won't be an easy conversation and then to said Best Friend above for a take away and Sport Relief.

Have a fan-dabby-dozey weekend everyone whatever you do and who ever you do it with ;)

Love and Stuff
AliB (Who is also a 2:30 finisher on a Firday)

See you later GB!

Miss ES P!!!

Message for MTF - Go home, go directly home, do not pass go, do not collect anything, stay there until you feel better - you do not, repeat do NOT want to get pneumonia again do you......

Crazy lady ;-)

mtd ffb xxx (walks away tutting)

Enjoy your busy weekend Chris kicking off with dinner with Parky & his wife tonight. Nearly finished reading his book and its a really good read - nearly as good as yours! Hoping to get along to Supercar Sunday if I can get someone to come along with me.

Sorry about the rain Beez - its stopped here now!

Hope your daughter is ok CSN - any news yet?

MTF - stop working and get back to bed xx

Darce x

See MTF - we are all saying it - go back to bed !! love the tutting mtd.

I've got a blackbird in the tree next to the office singing his little heart out. Can't help but smile can you? (even though the rain has now reached me Darce !!)

Sorry I missed you AliB - enjoy your evening with your friend.
Alright for some Gaily - probably see you later -I'm still working here doncha know.

Can't get the vision of MissP dangling upside down at cheznic - long tresses trailing as she exits the air vent !

Beez xx

Christoff, enjoy your hectic weekend and your well deserved zzzzzzzzs. I've also got a busy weekend coming up, what with a trip to ELH in the morning, haircut after lunch then out to the pub with friends for a meal in the evening. Also, planning to come along to Supercar Sunday, so hopefully see you there.

Darce, hello, hope to also see you there, which is going to be a miracle as I have no idea what you look like, unless you wear a red rose, ha ha.

Hello to everyone else, I have been lurking but not participating of late.

Still raining here, boo!

Pen xx

Pen and Darce - haven't you two had that mini meet yet? Hope you manage it on Sunday.

Thanks Beez. This time next week we should be well into our first bottle (actually knowing us and if Chrissie is there too probably our second.) Not that I am getting excited or anything........

mtd ffb xxx

Hi Chris: yes, what a fantastic week you have had, it's all great stuff. And as you say Tash and Noah are the icing on the cake. Have a great weekend xx btw: loved the basketball video - genius!

CSN: Hope everything is ok with your daughter.

MTF: back to bed, young lady - remember the last time?! Seriously, take it easy and no heroics!

Hi everyone else!

C xx

P.S. What must it feel like to finish work at 2.30 on a Friday?!

Afternoon all,

Thought I'd pop in and say hello, been lurking this week and it's about time I said hello.

Sounds like a busy week, CLP - grab a nap you deserve it.

MTF - STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER AND RETREAT BACK TO BED. seriously though if you're lurking hope you feel better soon.

Happy weekends to all,

Dragonxx

mtd #19: I can't help it if I get thirsty! Oh, I know, only one week to go - can't believe it!

C xx

Hi guys

CLP - phewski! whirlwhind down your neck of the life aint it! Dont burn yoursel out mind! We couldnt have you poorly now! Agree with Beez - what interview where!!!!

Darce and Penny - go for it - Penny - the Darce miester is the gorgesist petite lady with the biggest glass of red you will spot - aint that so Lady Darce! oh so jealous - if it was one of my up darn essex sundays I'd join you en-route!

Right off to see what Jed nic and MissP have uncovered on the rest of yesterdays blog.....

and yup - me too am pretty much done for a Friday

debs
X

Hi Pen - I'll be Billy no mates on my own - easy to spot! Look for a small blonde woman on her own and come up and say hello. Give me a clue on how to spot you! I'm there for dinner tonight as well with some girlfriends.

Darce x

OK - so not much that I missed then

But MC - it was one of "them" pies - didnt finish it - think I am going off "them" pies - oh no - the end of the world must be nigh!!!!! Tis never appened in me 40 summat years on this planet that I would go off one of "them" pies.........

pufffffff........

(i'm gorn)
x

Well Debs - thank you for your rose coloured description but the true bit is the big glass of red - but pleeese this is early morning we're talking about, even I don't have a glass of red with breakfast!!

How's the eye coming along?

Darce x

Pen - I can't believe you and Darce haven't got together. She's easy to spot - just huff and puff and Darce will be the one blown over on the floor - she is teeny and blonde and gawjus.

Debs - you coming down with something? Going of those pies? Oh dear.

Hi Dragon - that's telling MTF - we haven't tried shouting yet. Hope all is well with you over there.

mtd - agree - Chrissie - I thought I could drink ..... I am saying no more - cept see you next week - yay!!!!

Beez xx

Darce, that's made me feel great, 'small and blonde'! As for me, look for the opposite, ie short, old and definitely not small. Will be with Mr P, who is 6 foot and quite slim - so if you see a couple that resemble little and large ............ LOL. Seriously, as you know, I have not admitted to any of this so will have to be discreet. He does know I read the blog tho'. If you think you have sussed me out come and say hello and I shall act as if I know you.

Pen xx

Ooooh Pen all this cloak and dagger stuff!! Can't very well come up and call you Pen though can I?! Will think of something if I spot you. Mind you if I'm still there at 12, I will have a big glass of red in my hand! Really hope I do meet you at last though.

And Beez - its not the huffing and puffing that normally makes me fall over!!

Darce x

Guess what my boss told me to do?

MTF.xx

LOL Darce !!!

MTF - why aren't you in bed ?????

Beez xx

#30 Ummm Go home and stay there???

mtd ffb xxx

Hello

Thank you to everyone for all your kind words, yesterday and today.

Don't know what is going to happen yet.
Daughter and baby still being very closely monitored.
Scan being done on baby this afternoon to make sure little one is still doing ok in mummy's tummy.

Only had time to read some of the posts here and one stood out from the others because it made me laugh, smile and giggle all at the same time.

Big Thank You Miss P. What a dream you had!

Mr CSN, just told me I am losing the plot today, because I keep doing silly things. Never mind!

Lots of love to everyone, csn.xxx

Afternoon all, it's a rotten miserable day here, have got soaked twice so have now retreated to the sofa and decided that OH can walk the dog when he gets home :)
CSN hope all is well with your daughter x
MTF do as your boss instructs and get plenty of rest {{hugs}}
Have a vision of Pen n Darce stalking each other on Sunday, hope you manage to meet up.
Miss P loved your dream and Clodaghs interpretation, cheered me up no end and still giggling :)
Is it 5 o'clock somewhere yet?? have a nice box of grape juice that needs and outing from the cupboard ;) well, it is the weekend!!
Hope everyone has a good weekend
Luv
GM xx

Thats right where I am Beez.

Bossman phoned me a coupla hours ago and said...Go to bed!!

So, thats what I have done, just popped in to see the same advice off some of you.


Thanks all.

I didn't exoect to go down with anything like this, so soon after the last lot.

Blimey, nothing for years then wham, gets you twice in a couple of months.

Ok, not staying around, can someone pass my best on to CSN and her daughter(s).

Have fun this evening.

You lovely lot.

MTF.xx

Darce, hadn't thought of that! We could say something on the lines of, 'hello, didn't we used to work together, but can't seem to put a name to the face', then maybe just open up. It might be simpler for me to admit to all this, but he would never understand why I'm called Penny Forem!!

Fairy, take care xx


Pen xx

Doh, me and my slow typing, all the best CSN.xx

Thank you MTF, Get well soon.

csn.xxx

Good afternoon blogettes

Well it worked ............... the 'little fella' passed his driving test this afternoon. Thanks for all the vibes you had been sending out - they worked. Have also been sending our good vibes to Deevs & MTF - (my head now hurts).

Good weekend to one & all - finish work in a few minutes.

Proud PJ

Quick hello as nicked boys laptop

My lap top very very sick and nice man has taken it away to "try" to fix it!!

might be back...............soon I hope

Seza xx

Penny and Darce - like a mysterious meet! LOL - soo tempted to come anyway to see it evolve - have you seen Moulin Rouge - can just picture the "stalking/checking" to the version of Roxanne.....

MTF - GET AND STAY TO BED! now there - that's alfie and tia tellin yoos too!!!!

ChrissieS - ooooo - if Beez is admiting your skill - might have to get into training! Got lunch with GBF tomorrow - will get a taxi and get right onto it!


CSN - really hope all is well with both GDs but spech one in hopical right now - best place for her - I know people slag off the NHS but when it comes to real dramas - dont forgot all the private consultants "moonlight" at the NHS too! You might wait a bit longer and not have a private room, but all the expertise is there. (as someone who has had both state and private healthcare).

So all in all, I hope people that can are winding down to the weekend and really enjoy their lot

debs
X

PJ - congratulations to 'Little Fella' on passing his test, bet he's walking on air.

Debs - you're right, very mysterious meet, shame you can't be there, Pen and I could stand back and let you take charge. Have visions of you charging across the bridge to MTF and Bids now!

Pen - if hubby knows you read the blog, we could chat without mentioning your blog name? My friends and family know I read the blog and that I've met up with people but they don't know my blog name.

Darce x

Darce - LOL - I think a LOT of people have the vision of me charging across the bridge! (and chatting to the chickens, and the fairys and the pirates....) ah good times :-)
hee hee hee hee

right got a family drama unfolding so off to buy comfort food and WINE!

debs
X

Darce, he knows I read the blog but doesn't know I contribute, so I've just made an executive decision to tell him this evening that I've chatted to you and hope to meet you on Sunday. Phew gone all hot and bothered now!

CSN, hope all goes well with new grandchild, I remember it well x

PJ, pleased for 'little fella', I also remember that well, now all the worrying starts!

Pen xx

Crumbs - MTF - that's a first - pleased you are doing as you are told though.

PJ - well done that boy! Now all you need is a mortgage for his insurance.

Thanks for the update CSN. Still keeping all crossed for daughter.

Debs - Chrissie leaves us standing - well other way round really - she would be standing, we would be flat out!! Great description of Darce and Pen trying to find each other !! I still laugh at you batting over that bridge in Bristol having your Anneka moment - people parting like the red sea to let you through - Oh My !!!

GM - go on - start now - I'll be joining you in a couple of hours!

Hi Sez - Bye Seza

Just realised I only have three days next week to work flat out and get ahead of myself - Panic !!!!!

Beez xx

Debs - you forgot the country gentlemen !! Lost count of the number of times I was sent off to drag you away from a stag do !!!

Beez xx

Going home now - hope to see you Sunday Pen x

Have a good weekend all.

Darce x

Ok Darce, enjoy your meal later x

Have a great weekend all. Work still getting in the way of the blog but lurking when able.

Best wishes to all. Get well soon to anyone feeling under the weather.

Thunder

Beez # 46 - "where theres a stag doo there a debs" LOL (Annie - or a wedding reception.....)

Thought best get that in before you

Darce and Pen - hope you get to meet up on Sunday - maybe a photi with the lovely CLP for FB???

right of to station to collect traumatised GD - will prob not be back on till tomorrow am so have a good FNWC tonight and say a cheers to me!

debs
X

Hiya Troops:

Just on here to defend myself before the weekend begins! Oi, mtd and Beez: I don't think I was alone in the bar at the hotel at the O2 when they asked us (including Mary) to leave!

And, Debs, love you dearly, but I was not the one hijacking a wedding reception in Liverpool!

Hey Ho, what japes!

PJ: great news about your son passing his driving test. He will be made up!

Darce/Penny: I can understand the difficulty in explaining to your partners how you know each other. I just did not know how to tell MrS about the first blog meet I went on in Glasgow. I decided to tell it like it is, and he was really fine ... after a while. He used to have a look at the blog from time to time, but not now. Though, he DID check out the Bye Bye Drivetime video, where I look like Shaun of the Dead! Hope you both meet up.

CSN: Debs is so right about the NHS/private healthcare thing. These Consultants are the best, and they will look after your daughter so well, I am sure.

Right, heading off home, perhaps for a glass of wine. Who mentioned wine?! Have a good weekend everyone.

C xx

LOL - Debs - forgot the wedding reception - with my shoes on !!! Yikes !

Darce and Pen - that would be good - a photo with CLP.

Hi Thunder - know what you mean about work ! I'm still here and now I am in a panic with my short week next week and the one after - I may well be here over the week-end!

Just spoken to Hazel love (on the bus on her way home !!)she is still a poorly girl but hopes to make next week-end. Too poorly for the train so come on BA/unions/whatever - get your act together !! As our vibes seem to be working so far today - let's send some to her too?

Beez xx

Friday night messages before I hit the road.

CSN - Hope things are looking better today - keeping my fingers crossed. Which is why I keep spilling coffee on my keyboard.

MTF - You're sick so often, Clinton's have started stocking a range of `Get Well MTF' cards, especially for you. Hope you feel better soon - again :-)

PJ - Congrats to Little Big Man (a toy I had when I was a child BTW. He had a dinghy that sprung a leak and subsequently sank. DOn't know whay I'm telling you this, but hey-ho).

MissP - much as I admire your determination, perhaps sticking to the day-job may be the way forward.I'm no expert, but I suspect that either Nic or Cheryl will spot a) the footprint you left on the ceiling, b) the plaster dust that fell on the floor and c) the length of cable running from the webcam hidden in the chandelier across the ceiling and through the air vent (and probbaly all the way back to your house). For future reference, Tom Cruise always has a detailed plan, a crack team of agents to assist him and a exit strategy in case of problems. You seem to have wild impulses, a few people from the pub and a pushbike. This does not a spy make.

Nic/Deevs - don't worry about that thing that looks like a cable running across your ceiling, it's probably just a cobweb. You carry on practising your Ice Ice Baby dance routines in peace.

Have a great weekend one and all.

Carl.

Hazel, hope you improve enough to make the blog meet next weekend. Sending you lots of love and best wishes. You are sorely missed on the blog along with your brilliant array of pomes xx

Pen xx

Twice Carl, and I swear this last bout has come from you spreading your man flu germs around here.

Will look out for the card tho ;)

Gosh, I get bored easily.

Ok, going !

MTF.xx

Hi MTF - you take it easy now, as we don't want a repeat of what happened last time, do we?? Nag, Nag, Nag!

CSN, as the others have said, your daughter is in the right place, and the folk at the hospital will be being very cautious, my sister in law had to spend a few days being monitored, but has a very healthy 10 year old now!

Beez, hope you get your work completed, if not delegate..LOL

No rain here yet, but it's on its way apparently - which is a bit of a bugger as I was hoping to tackle the garden tomorrow! It's a right mess, but will have to stay like that for a while longer it seems!

So, wine poured, and just deciding on our takeaway for tonight - we've been good all week (well I have) and cooked! Someone not to far away from me has had a couple of chippy lunches...

Back in a while

JG x

UC - laughing does not describe what I am doing. You star

couldn't stand it any longer so left work at 3 and am now cozily ensconced in country retreat. Bliss.

Lovely weekend to all

miss P

oh, UC, you are priceless!

Miss P, I've just read back and am chuckling at that!!

Enjoy your weekend in the country, I love going to my Mum's to get out of the towns up here!

Decided, Indian for me, Indian style kebab for him - healthy? No! Scrummy? Oh YES!!

JG x

Don't you just hate it when you LOL at the blog and nobody is interested in why??? anyway LOL at Chrissie, debs, Beez, UC. I am sooo looking forward to next weekend.

Anyway - time to break out the Merrrllooot while watching Sport Relief.

Will pop in from time to time.

Yep Deevs - its amazing what dreams serve up isn't it.

How did this afternoon go? Did you feel the force?

mtd ffb xxx

I was going to watch Sport Relief, but someone else had other ideas, so we are watching a repeat of Coast, cos it's the Northwest....

We're in Blackpool now...lovely!

Deev, how did it go?

JG x

OMG, they are showing how to clean the underneath of the walk of faith on the Tower!!!

I'm leaving the room and may be some time.......

JG x

Hello. Just popped in from next door. Now, if you will all just... LOOK AT THAT OVER THERE (whilst I snaffle a glass of merlot, and sneak quietly away)

Hi Paul - I knew you wouldn't be able to resist it....

mtd ffb xxx

Wow what a week Christoph

Watching Sport Relief think you and Johnny should do something for the next one

How is everybody???

Hi Kands

Long time no see. Just PMSL at the animals on sport relief - back later.

mtd ffb xxx

Still blinkin well cooking here!!! Just sat down to see how Diva got on and she has a thing for Jedward apparently??! :) tee hee! Come along dear - need to know how you got on today.

Cheers me darlings - just half way down first (ok second) glass of red - really must go finish the nosh in a mo though. Seem to have been on the phone a lot tonight!!!

Hi Kands - loving your pics on fb - what a munchkins wee puppy is!

Do I sense a mayonnaise blogger?

Going to put sport relief on in a tic - off to finish meal - back later. Roll on next week-end.........

Beez xx

Right, recovered from Jedwardgate!

Today went really well. Still not had a one-to-one with the boss but he seems lovely - very down to earth and "normal" which is a good thing! Also been invited on a works social on 1st May, which felt nice to be included. Tasks lines up for Monday and feeling confident about going in and doing my thing!

Also had news of 2 more interviews today: one next week and one on 29th March, and another Agency putting me in for another vacancy on the doorstep.

Yes, feeling really dandy and upbeat.

I'm switching this off now - on the 3rd glass on vino collapso and an lovely, wonderful man to give some love and attention to.

Enjoy yourselves - it's later than you think ..... (wrong blog?)

Happy Deevs

Evening All! Been lurking again, but got the chance to join in tonight. Only on water tho'. Had a good few glasses last night and have had terrible heartburn all day. We are going out tomorrow night so need to be on full form. There. You didn't to know any of that, did you? I'm just writing it down as a way of reinforcing it! But, "Cheers" anyway!

hi everyone

Dunno why I have not been on here lately, no excuses really

Snooky is a mummies boy bless him

So ow is everybody and what has everyone been up to???
How did the London meet go?

Ooh, just spotted David Ginola... Corr!

needinspiration - my thoughts exactly!!!

Have managed to persuade him to put it on now! And have donated via work, cos they double what is put in!

JG x

Yes, i'd forgotten all about the good cause!

Evening,

I'm also on the water - feeling extravagant so have put a slice of lemon in it! Got to pick himself up from the airport later. What a way to spend a friday night!!

Meanies won't let us watch sport relief here :(

Deevs - Good news about the interviews, fingers crossed for you.

CSN - Fingers also crossed for you, hope daughters doing OK.

Beez - all good here, thanks, sun has been shining so I'm happy!

Hazel Love - hope you're feeling better.

Hello and happy weekends to everyone else I've not mentioned already.

Dragonxx

Evening all - I've turned out the light and closed the door behind me on Simon's blog, and I'm here - everyone Ok for a drink?

Evening Dragon. I can't seem to do lemons these days. Or oranges, or tomatoes! Middle age, I suppose...
FNWC is quiet tho' Nobody playing tonite?

Hi Kev

Need a refill of Merlot in a minute - it's OK I've got a bottle open.

mtd ffb xxx

#76 I wondered why Paul and I kept bumping into each other..

It's the dimly lit corridor DeeBee...I almost tripped on my way here.

Deebee!! When did you get here? Are you OK for a drink?

mtd ffb xxx

Wouldn't mind a top-up thanks mtd!

Oh, some peeps have appeared!

Welcome you lot from t'ther blog!! Pull up a chair, and mine's a glass of white wine please?

Ta muchly!

JG x

Thanks for the welcome JG

hello?

Hi Paul, you made it. Plenty of wine to go round

I think I'll do my usual trick, and lurk quietly in the kitchen, for a bit.

Why does it take longer to drink water than wine?

Hello hello - just got myself a drink. So, I guess everyone's watching Sport Relief? Except me, as my wife's watching Embarrassing Bodies. I told her she only has to see mine...

Right you mayonnaise kids - good to see you here - just opened a box of vino if anyone interested.

Sorry JG - it's a red . How was the kebab?

Just trying to push the last of my curry back in to my ears!! Most folk don't like their own cooking but I'm a pig!

Beez xx

Paul, you'll have to lurk in the loo, Beez is in the kitchen, and I keep annoyingly walking through to get to the back door for a smoke!

JG x

#88. Is it because it takes quite a lot longer to empty a tap compared with a bottle?

Kev I want to watch sport relief - suffering a double bill of Kingdom! First time round brilliant - but I know the words now!

Beez xx

#90 Sorry, I've tried very hard to understand that last sentence....clearly I've had too much already

Beez, his kebab was fine, my selection of starters great too...don't do main courses, cos I get bored!

Oh, and I don't eat rice...

JG x

Could be that, yes! But I'm struggling to drink a wine glass of water! AnywaY David Beckham;s in the bath!!!

Dee baby - it's coming out of my ears I have eaten so much - ditch the water - it's making your brain swim!!

Beez xx

Hi Beez. I wouldn;t mind but she has seen this episode, and the bodies aren;t that embarrassing..but a bit of wincing from myself watching some guy have a camera inserted up where a camera should never go, and at the same time having a finger inserted where the sun doesn;t shine to massage his prostate. Luckily he was under anaesthetic!

I'm only watching for the Hamster. We have history, him and I... ;-)

Kev - eeeeeew

Beez xx
