Good to see everyone playing nicely!

ok Tiggs, helps if you read properly, glad your book is in the publishers building!!!

Chris, bless you, you remember us each day and I think that's fantastic - you are such a sweetheart. And, don't you just LOVE the word "lavatories"??!!

C xx

Hello CLP and Everyone Else (again)

You're right CLP, sometimes there is not enough time but when something is very important we have to make the time and put everything else on hold.

I can imagine when writing a book that there is always something you wished you had added or deleted for a long time afterwards.

Thank you writing the blog from the bog!

I hope it was a posh one!

MM x

Thanks for the nudge Tiggs.

Hi everyone, just to recap, I have just bunged some furry mushrooms, mouldy mould, how can that be?

Looking forward to the new book Christophe, nothing has grabbed me quite like the first one so am expecting great things of you! (no pressure mind!)

I currently have a pile of ironing that even Beez would be proud of!
It's funny that while I was unemployed I quite enjoyed getting to the bottom of the pile....now I just add to it!

Warm again today, just going to rig up the fan to cool me down while the iron heats me up!

Ta ta Lin x

Well, I hardly ever pop in from next door, and on the odd occasion that I do, I find it's all potty talk. Gracious me!



I hope you haven't taken the book into the cubicle, Chris, I suspect there will already be enough 'draughts' in there.

Sorry, I'll get me coat!

I'm having a cracking day. I think it's the total joy of being the filling in a Chris Evans / Liza Tarbuck sandwich. BLISS. Thank you Radio 2.

Hi Andy, I do have my knee raised a bit at my desk, but unfortunately as we're in the run up to an office move, on top of everything else, I really can't afford any time off work :(

I am resting it in the evenings though, I promise!

CLP, I seem to remember this isn't the first time you've blogged from the bog! Hehe!

JG x

LOL Paul.

I hope CLP wasn't feeling too flushed in there!

MM x

A blog from the bog . .
some harmless inconvenience from a convenience
something serene from the latrine,
or was-it...
actually from the closet?
me thinks it was a more than the normal coo from the loo,
not just a civvie in the privy,
t'was really the daily decree
of Big Chief B(l)ogger, our very own CLP . . .

DtM xx

LOL DtM

We're more interested in the bog than anything else haha!

MM x

Maybe CLP was just having a bit of an information download .....!?!

How nice is this? Sitting on receiption at work when one of the tenants brings down some delish desserts for me and a colleague. Cue one very happy Deevs with a pot of tiramissou. All gone now, needless to say!

Yay!

Thanks Chris, Some of my best work and some of my best thoughts happen in the loo...
Deevs - No pudding for you tonight then!

Afternoon Sentiments Of Hello With A DAMN Aych Aimed CLP's & Everyone's Way...

Bingo Star 'ere (without an aych on the here!!!).

CLP - Sounds most nice the way the book is finally coming together!!!!
A don't want to poke me nose in but a 'ope very much the will abstracts of CLP & INDEED Tash's golfing life in the book!!!!!!

Just trying ter offer some 'elpful advice!!!!!

VERY much like David 'owell did ter CLP on the 7th 'ole at Wentworth.... And it paid off most 'ansomely!!!!!!

Don't know what am talking about??@?

Read me PART 4 & final part of Bingo Star Went To Wentworth.... And then yer will know what am on about!!!!!

I'll just write it out... (speed writing... back in 1 minute!!!!).

Bye! (for a minute).

Bingo Star went to Wentworth:

PART 4 (the final part):

So at last I had caught up with CLP鈥檚 group!!!!
I had missed them tee off as I didn鈥檛 realise they had teed off at the 10th hole first, not the 1st!!!
The reason for this was as there鈥檚 so many groups playing & it takes over 4 hours a round鈥� to accommodate & fill up the course more evenly鈥� the organisers decided to split the teeing off times!!!

It was all mayhem with Brucie all over the fairway shouting orders at his caddie!!!
CLP & Chris Hollins calmly standing there waiting to take their next shots鈥� and all this while David Howell came over to play his slightly off line ball鈥� only to find it had struck a lady in the crowd!!!
The Howell apologised but luckily she was fine & laughed it off!!!!

It was interesting to see CLP play golf for the first time鈥� he was hitting some nice shots but the new almost evil 18th green proved a nightmare for Brucie & CLP鈥� and even David Howell I could tell wasn鈥檛 finding it a breeze!!!!

After the 18th I decided to follow CLP & Brucie. The next hole for them was the 1st!!!!
All four teed off鈥� with a mighty fine drive by David Howell鈥� and I was surprised how well both CLP & Chris swung their clubs!!!!
To me CLP鈥檚 swing look so decent鈥� well it was almost like he must have a wife as a professional golfer鈥� yer know to show him a few tips!!!!
Some nice golf was played at the 1st then to the short 2nd hole!!!!
At the 2nd CLP stood right next to me while the others took their shots off the tee. I was going to say hello to CLP again but I thought best not as I didn鈥檛 want to interrupt his game at all!!!!!

After the second onto the third & wow did Chris Hollins play a mega good tee shot!!!
For a small bloke he really can hit the ball鈥� he almost out drove David Howell!!!!
But David Howell was hitting some brilliant shots!!!!
I could tell he鈥檚 not a top tour pro for nothing!!!

One thing I like about seeing the top pros play golf but that you don鈥檛 hear on tv is when the hit the ball鈥� you can hear it go through the air!!!!
As the ball leaves the golfclub face it & takes off鈥� the faster it goes鈥� the louder it makes an aggressive sounding whizzing noise as it goes past through the air!!!!
And when the top pros especially like Tiger drive off the noise is even louder: it adds to the feeling/ spectacle of wow these guys really know how to hit a golf ball!!!!!
These balls are travelling at upto 180mph sometimes and it鈥檚 the noise of it pushing it鈥檚 way through the air resistance!!!!

I decided to head further up & see which groups were ahead!!!!
I waited by the fourth green: watching the groups come through!!!
They were less well known but still playing some great golf!!!

I waited for CLP鈥檚 group to catch up & sure enough 20 minutes later鈥� their balls came bouncing down onto the green鈥� with them some 200 yards back!!!!
Brucie has his own golf buggy & I believe he has a house nearby on the Wentworth Estate鈥� so perfect for him!!!
He must drive straight out of his house onto the course to play golf!!!!!
When a say drive鈥� I mean his buggie not his golf ball with his driver鈥� although maybe he does!!!!

After the fourth it was onto the next.
It was all action鈥� with Brucie joking to the crowd鈥� it was like the wacky races but fun & entertaining to watch!!!!
I don鈥檛 think they were taking things too serious鈥� just having a good light hearted knock around the course!!!!
Bruice on the next hole miss hit his ball & it ended up nearly in the spectators. Then his second shot he miss hit it again鈥� so much so he just picked it up & called on CLP & the others!!!!
Again Brucie joking to the crowd that the stress of the game will finish him off!!!!!
CLP also had one or two bad shots as did even David Howell!!!!
Shows how tricky the game is at times!!!!!
But on the parr 4 7th hole鈥� CLP hit a nice shot just on the right of the green but level with the flag!!!!
I was standing right near the ball so got a good view of him playing his chip shot!!!!
He came up with David Howell.
Next thing David gave CLP some expert advice were to aim for as the green had a very tricky slop running across it!!!
A mini golf lesson for CLP right in the heat of the action鈥� Again all added to the fun/ spectacle of it all!!!!
After listening CLP hit the chip exactly to where David had advised on the green & the best way to chip!!!! No easy feat & with about 50 people watching!!!
And it was an absolute beauty of a chip: one even Tiger would be proud of!!!
It landed perfect on the slope鈥� then curved around the back of the flag, nearly going in the hole & stopping only a foot from the other side of the hole!!!! A beauty!!!!
A tell yer a think a might be booking some golf lessons with David Howell!!!!!
Even Bruice shouted now that鈥檚 one you should have on film!!!!!!

Only four more holes to play!

I stood near the tee & CLP noticed me there!!!!
As he passed he banged fists with me & smiled!!!!
A think he was still made up with the mega chip he had just played!!!!

All four teed off again: all great shots again!!!!
Again some mayhem was had on this fairway鈥� then it was upto the next tee!!!

I managed to get a great view at the tee & stand right behind all four, by the sponsors ad boards surrounding the tee!!!
When David Howell took his practice swings鈥� I was so close his club missed me by only a foot I鈥檇 say!!!
That鈥檚 the one thing that is great about golf鈥� what other sport can the spectators get so close to some of the most famous sports people in the world!!!!
I can remember at The Open being only five feet from Tiger Woods鈥� presently the most famous sportsperson in the world!!!!

After David Howell teeing off it was CLP, then Chris Hollins & finally Brucie!!!!
So it was over to the final hole of the day for them all before a group photo on their last green!!!!!
Well it was getting late so I decided to head off back for the railway station & back home!!!!!
Off I walked only to nearly get run over by Brucie heading off himself in his golf buggie up the path!!!!
I jumped out the way & he waved at me & said 鈥渢hanks鈥� take care, BYE!!!鈥�
I was nearly gonna shout 鈥榞ood game鈥� good game!!!!鈥� but instead I waved & said 鈥渟ee you Brucie mate!!!鈥�

I walked the two miles or so back to the clubhouse!!!!

A quick look around the range which was still a busy hive of activity with all the top pros still tweaking their swings ready for the next day; the first of the all important championship days鈥� when it all gets very serious!!!!
After 30 minutes there鈥� it was off to the station!!!!
I passed the car park again鈥� and CLP鈥檚 Ferrari Enzo was still there!!!!
I was surprised as I thought he must have gone by now!!!!!
I stood there and had another good look at it鈥� for a minute thinking surely CLP will be back soon!!!
I mean the car park was well over half empty by now!!!!!
I started to think鈥� I wonder if CLP did come back鈥� if I asked him very nicely鈥� maybe he would give me a ride in his Enzo鈥� even if it was only the 20 yards to the car park: at least I could claim to fame & say 鈥業鈥檝e had a ride in a Ferrari Enzo鈥� AND with CLP too!!!!!!!!!鈥�
But then I thought鈥� No鈥� Maybe that would be a bit cheeky!!!!
So off I headed for the station!!!!!!

All in all鈥�. The whole day had been a brilliant day out鈥�. And being a practice day鈥� it didn鈥檛 cost a penny to get in, even though it鈥榮 in the heart of where all the millionaire鈥檚 live鈥�. talk about value for money!!!!!!!!
Even if anyone isn鈥檛 into golf鈥� I can鈥檛 recommend strongly enough a day out for anyone at one of the top golf tournaments!!! And a celebrity pro-am event make sit even more interesting/ fun!!!

From young to old鈥� alone to a full family day out鈥�. it鈥檚 really is not what you would expect from watching golf on tv!!!!
It exceeds all expectations鈥� from just the pleasant walk around the picturesque course & it鈥榮 surroundings鈥�. To seeing some of the richest & most talented sports people in the world!!!!

Bye!

Good luck CLP, I am sure it will be alright in the end......

PS Talking of sitting on the bog & writing/ thinking.... a remember being on the toilet at Sandbach services on the M6...... And thinking of one of me funniest jokes!!!!!

Only problem... Ave forgetten what the joke was!!!!!

If a remember i'll bang it on the bog... sorry blog!!!!

Bye!

Bingo, I really think you should elaborate more ;-)

Well fancy. Bloggin' on the Bog, Christoff. Whatever next.

Mind. What's all this Lavatory stuff. Yous has gone all posh, sunshine. Oop 'ere in Wigan we've nobbut just moved on from t' outdoor privy, where the drainage system was one stream a water passin' beneath the row of toilets within. Where the young DDF Eric an' 'is mates used make newspaper boats an' sit in wait for Granddad to install 'imself therein wit 'is Pigeon Fanciers' Gazette; then set light to said craft, an' set it upon the channel.

The joy of the resoundin' crash of Granddad's skull on the rafters, followed by the chase up the ginnel by said War Hero wit the trousers round the ankles, was well worth the public floggin' wit Grandma's slipper that followed, apparently.

And I don't know whether it was this trauma that did it; but Eric could never bring 'imself to discuss matters lavatorial. In fact, he was always greatly amused by the fact that the female of the species always seem to visit the Ladies' Cloakrooms in pairs. Therefore, if asked as to the whereabouts of Renee and Aunty Dot, he would look around briefly and say, "Erm.. They've probably gone for a Dusty Springfield."

We all knew what 'e meant, although it's only recently it was explained 'e meant I Only Want A Wee With You.

Bless.

Evening each

Peace and love to you too CLP, and good luck with the edit.

Hope all are well - been a lovely day here in Fife, made even better by having my gorgeous little boys all day.

xxxx

Man From Uncle - Could you please tell me in finer detail all that elaborate means?

As BIG adult words confuse me!!!!

Tarr!

Haha Clodagh, a Dusty Springfield...will have to remember that one! lol

Bingo, thanks for your Wentworth stories, I love golf, and must admit that when we went to the Open at Royal Birkdale a couple of years ago, it was the best day out I'd ever had, and that includes going to Silverstone!!

We'll be ther at Royal Lytham St Annes in 2012...I think Kent is a bit too far for a day next year!

And besides, we are planning to go to Le Mans next year!

JG x (who is trying to rest her knee, honest)!

Hi Annie, we've had a nice afternoon here too, it makes a change to see some sunshine doesn't it? Brightens up the day and mood no end!

Clodagh, I had no idea what a ginnel was until I moved up here!

Well, my plans on finding a different route have been scuppered by the Gas board digging up almost all of Leigh to replace the mains, and the road I was going to take is closed for 3 weeks from Monday! Great!!

Guess who's going to get slapped around the head with a wet kipper tonight?

JG x

Hi all

I need good vibes on Friday morning please - I've got an interview!!!!! -yep, already woop woop. It is for a contract job at another motor finance company doing exactly my job - they like my CV and an old colleague of mine has put in a good word for me as well!!!!

Now I need to calm down between now and then and do my planning (I wonder if my hairdresser can fit me in on Thursday?).

I am sure that it is the good vibes so far that has got me this far.

Thanks everybody.

mtd ffb xxx

Bingo it means to go into more detail. I was being sarcastic my good man ;-)

Bless you JG.

Hence the expression for somebody rather bandy in the leg department,

"'E couldn't stop a pig in a ginnel."

Clodagh.xx

And Mtd. I've started the good vibes already, hun. You'll be grand.

xxxxx

Excellent MTD!! Good vibes heading your way for sure!! xx

JG x

JakeyGirl - FREAK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes this blog & INDEED many of the bloggers here frighten me!!!!!!

Guess where I am off to tomorrow???

Royal Birkdale for the first time in about 6 years!!!!!

Yes, last time I was there it was The Women's British Golf Open... And this week it's returning... As I am!!!!!!!

Am gonna be at Lytham 2012!!!!!!
Maybe we should meet up there????

Plus sounds most interesting the LeMans 2011!!!!!!!
Always wanted to go but never got round to it!!!!!!!

Maybe we should meet at LeMans 2011 too???

Man From Uncle - Thank you elaborating for me what elaborate means!!!!!!

PS What does sarcastic mean??

Again tarr if yer could elaborate on sarcastic!!!!!

Tarr!

JG, if anyone slaps you with a wet kipper my friend, just poke them in the eye.

MTD, fingers and toes crossed for you. As Clodagh says, you'll be fine. Just remember Bob Dylan's song - Trust Yourself. Worked for me.

xxxxx

It's a refined version of taking the mickey, Bingo. I'm going to buy you a dictionary for Christmas. I've been to Le Mans a few times for the bike racing.

TMFU, I'll be going for the cars....bikes hold a small interest for me, if I catch them, but cars are for me!

Bingo, we'll happily meet up with you, at either! Are you going to the Donnington BTCC meet? We'll be on Starkey's bridge (outside of the circuit) my favourite circuit and favourite spot!

I always have a big smile on my face when I get to look at the cicuit from there!

JG x

PS Annie, it'll be me hitting him! LOL

Evenin all :)

Am just waiting for my tea to settle a bit and then I'm off out to the post box. Tis a lovely looking evening, and I'm feeling I ought to go for a walk before my planned (postponed from last night) soak in the bath. The perfect excuse / reason for the walk appeared on my fb home page today, news that a dear friend has won the battle with the driving examiner and passed her test :) I bought the perfect card quite some time ago when she told me she'd started lessons, so now it is time to post it, and since I'm out I may as well do a bit of a circuit and keep my miles up.

Oz

Clodagh - have been reading this for years but only joined in yest. Am wondering when I can shoehorn into a conversation the dusty springfield line. very funny. reading your posts makes me think in a yorkshire accent again and reminds me of my then about 6 year old launching into a johnny Vegas stylee version of "the time as cuwm, to seh goodnyyght...., etc etc that they sing at the end of cbeebies. Pub singer at 6! he's got a future. my sister said to him - you sound like johnny vegas - the cute child said in the appropriate accent "well at least ah dunt look like im!" how does he know? that's what i'd like to know.

Hallo ali l - just noticed that you're new on here. You can shoehorn into any conversation you like.

I'm off to look at the blimmin' ironing pile again.

xxxx

Ali l, I take it you were from the UK shores at some point then?

Enjoy your walk Oz!

Think my tea may nearly be ready! Maybe I'll try and get Top Gear to play...

JG x

Annie, please can you do mine while your at it, I only have one pair of linen trousers that need ironing! PLEEEEEAASE!!

JG x

Ali yous are welcome to borrow Renee's brand new backscratcher/shoehorn she bought from Llandudno any time you like, hun. You can 'ave the fly-swatter too, if yous don't mind takin' it wit the squashed raisin an' postman's facial hair stuck to it.

Welcome to the nuthouse, hun.

Clodagh.xx

thanks people - i grew up in sheffield and then moved about a bit oop north till we came to kentucksville 2 years ago. I'm teaching jack to speak proper so when i return to my roots, he'll know what everyone's on about.

Hi all- and esp to Ali l - welcome abaord the good ship blog

am home and working again - tis not fair!

Am also watching sundays top gear as I missed it at the time as I was seeing Europe and Forgiener - catch the gig Thurs and Fri night on ITV4 - it wroked!!!!!!!!!

Mr bp just bought me a bowl of cucumber and lettce and told me that was my dinner - I really hope he is joking!!

Baggy

Oh CLP... you are working hard, my friend. That is good 鈥� because it staves off boredom... however it is always important to make time for yourself, to take stock, even if it鈥檚 in the loo...

I did that today 鈥� I was at a meeting near to Leamington Spa, when it finished, I was desperate to get back to London, as I always am. But I remembered that an old mate of mine, I hadn鈥檛 seen for years, had a shop there. So I diverted, and popped in 鈥� well, the kisses, hugs, memories and friendship that met me 鈥� made my day... still smiling...

So... although it added another hour and a half to my journey, that I will never get back again 鈥� no regrets... nothing lost and everything gained.

Hello to all and Ali too, nice to meet you.

If you catch this Annie , I have been wondering, since Friday nights blog... you get a Scotsman through the letterbox... and then he goes in the cupboard? I like your style...

Love to all

Suzie... xxx

JG, you haven't a chance of getting your ironing done by me - I'm folding stuff as we speak. I'm sure it'll be fine in the morning.

And Top Gear was fab, definitely worth watching.

xxxx

JG: I intend to. Just heading out now, I deem tea to be settled enough :)

back soon (ish, depending what circuit I opt for)

Oz

Suzie - The Scotsman pops through the letterbox every morning, but the man in the cupboard is a Geordie, sorry. He wouldn't wear a kilt if you paid him. He's a grumpy old so-and-so, which is why he's in the cupboard till I need him. Although, have to say, I love him dearly.

xxxxx

I have a huge pile of ironing if anyone is interetsed?

Gradeley, Ali. Nowt worse than forgettin' where yer was dragged up, an' we don't want 'im growin' into a Big Soft Southern Jessie do we. No, 'e needs bringin' up amongst men who eat lightbulbs an' eat summat 'as as looked ovver a gate; an whose idea a foreplay is 'alf an hour a beggin'. An' where the women all 'ave small feet. So we can get reet into t' kitchen sink.

Grand. Mind. Don't yous accuse ME a bein' from that side of t' Pennines. We Lancashire Lasses 'ave 'igh standards tha know. Took me ages rubbin' out the stamp on me passport after me trip to Leeds.

Clodagh.xx

I've got a couple of skirts and a shirt that need doing, have been putting them off for months... I'll get round to them one day!

Oz

SB, sorry, don't do ironing. I still haven't got over the basket of ironing that leant against the wall 3ft high when my kids were young. Every bloody Saturday, after changing the beds and doing a humungous amount of washing and hoovering the house.

Clodagh - how's the book coming along?

xxxx

Annie - thats okay - it will get done when I get bored or run out of work clothes :-)

mr bp was joking - dinner is mash, veg and veggie sausages and came with the sausages stuck up in the mash and a yorkie pud hat on - yes theres a reason I married him!

I still like your style Annie... xxx

Night all - early night and long travels tomorrow and absolutely no ironing - have fun...

Suzie xxx

You've got a goodun there baggy.

mtd ffb xxx

Good luck mtd !!!!

Hurry up with the book Chris. It HAS to be out this Crimbo otherwise my Xmas wish list is going to be empty.

tgh xxx

Mtd - best of luck to you

Chaps in cupboards, Suze an' Annie. Marvellous. Just 'ow I like 'em.

And it reminds me of the bezzy mate when she was seein' that posh art dealer from the Big Smoke. Not that I can imagine why, but I don't think 'e was too impressed with us lot. 'E used to turn up in the convertible Roller, whereupon we'd all pile into the thing an' roar off to cause a bit a trouble. Anyway. One Sunday afternoon the gang was still convened at the pub, hair of the dog from the ructions of the night before, you know, and in she comes, Just For A Quick One. Much hilarity ensued, then some 4 hours later, she suddenly screeched, "Ah NOOO, Rupert!".. an' shot off. Seems she'd left 'im in bed, told 'im she was off to get the papers, locked the doors behind her.. and forgot 'im. By the time she got back, said chap was fairly incandescent wit rage. Havin' left 'is phone in the car and unable to get out, not to mention the windows were on a time-lock and the heatin' on full blast, 'e'd no idea where she was, and so when she walked into the house he boomed, "What the hell are you playing at? I couldn't even get OUT.."

"Now calm down, sweetheart," says she. "It's just a precaution. I 'ave to lock 'em in these days."

We never saw 'im again. Funny, that.

Clodagh.xx

Annie nag nag ruddy nag.....

Hahahahahahaha!!!

xxxx

Clodagh, I feel that man's pain. Remember I was locked in the Micra!!!
xxxx

Hiya

Mtd - Lots of good luck for Friday. Sounds like a fantastic chance for you

Sbp, Dinner sounds yummy!!!

JG, hope the knee's feeling better and you're taking care

Hello to everyone else, hope you're all tickety boo!

Seza xx

And I'll keep it up Clodagh. I'm the world's best nag.

xxxx

Anybody know of a good deal on a Micra?...

xxxxxx

You're such a besom Clodagh!!!! Very funny.

xxxx

Sorry watching TG now, back later!!

JG x

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

Back from my walk, and now have the bath running. Took the card the long way round to the postbox nearest here. Passed several runners and the odd dog walker on my circuit. Must remember if I decide to do an evening walk again to go a bit earlier or take a different route, lots of tree covered paths tonight and lots of midgy things out. Might have been wise to apply insect repellent, those blighters seem to like me!

Baggy: prefer the sound of your real tea to the fake one, hope it was as yum as it sounded :)

Oz

Ozgirl yous can 'ave the fly-swatter after Ali's done wit it if you want. Or JG might 'ave a spare kipper.

Clodagh.xx

Aww Clodagh, I'm sure you'll be welcome, or if not, I'll meet you in good ole Wigan town on Saturday for a late lunch!!

JG x

Oz, I find Anthisan invaluable!! Never leave home without it!

JG x

Btw Baggy. Sorry to hear you've been feeling low, hun. Big hug an' a slap to you.

Mind. Sausage an' mash Mister bp-stylee musta put a titter round the aul laffin' tackle, I'd say. Bless 'im.

Reminds me a my Beano party. Did a Cow Pie, a big huge cake wit thick icin' an' big fat cherries stuck on top, an' a big plate a mash wit the sausages stuck in, Desperate-Dan style. Marvellous. Stick To Your Ribs food. For proper chaps an' feisty women.

I mean. You never saw Tarzan an' Jane wit canapes did yous.

Clodagh.xx

Ah tanks JG. I'll let yous know if am chucked out on me ear for gatecrashin'.

Fancy gatecrashin' at 55. It's not big an' it's not clever is it.

xxx

Clodagh, bet it's fun, though!!

Right am off, night all. See you tomorrow.

xxxxx

good luck on Friday mtd........ hope you all had a good Tuesday. Hot here today, even hotter tomorrow. Supposed to be in the 90s, then the storms roll in and I thing it's supposed to be 70s the rest of the week.....

55? I'm afraid I've never risked going to Wigan of an evening! Can we meet in the day, and I'll plead ignorance of how to get there and Mr JG will come too?

Actually, apart from Leeds, I really don't go far without Mr JG unless I'm driving, as I have no idea where these random places they announce on trains are....

I wa quite brave getting to Leeds and back!

I can find holiday places, and places I go to frequently just fine, but have a mental block about Wigan! Mainly cos I hate it's roads...but part of it is that even after 10 yrs, I CBA! Sorry :(

JG x

Sorry just popping in and out again as it were - now shurrup you lot in the back!

Off to the big smoke tomorrow with work and then come Friday evening I'll be in Brum - I don't mind at all you gatecrashing there Clodagh so might see you at lunchtime on Saturday then?

You can do it Mtd xx

Hugs and whatsits to everyone. If I am still awake I'll try and catch up on Sunday.

Night night

Susan xxx

Have fun in the smoke Susan. See you soon.

mtd ffb xxx

Well I need to get some sleep now..night all, sleep tight! xx

\JG x

Clodagh: cheers for the offer of the fly swatter, I may take you up on it if I can't locate the anti bug stuff, for my next evening meander.

Have been duly dunked and tis now time for kip. Much beauty sleep required here, although walk + bath appear to have woken me up. Maybe book'll help me nod off...

Sweet dreams to one and all

Oz

Chris - stop fretting man. This last minute panicking seems very unlike you from what little I know and have read about you.
I can't imagine that any changes you are going to make at this stage are any more than details - although they do say that the devil is in the detail don't they?
I know the book is going to be great and am hoping that it will be like a backstage pass to a concert that I enjoyed watching from the cheap seats the first time round.

I also got caught out in the toilet the other day (no not that way!).
We have this nuiscance rep that constantly turns up unannounced no matter how blunt we are with him.
As he pulled into our car park last week - I dived into the loo and asked Kate to explain that I had nipped out with Chris (thus explaining why my van was still in the car park). Result I thought, I'll sit and read the paper while he chews Kate's ear for 10 minutes.
So, there I sat, phone on silent catching up on the days news when I heard him say "oh ok! Can I just use the loo before I go?".
Now I'm not saying that he didn't believe Kate, who was doing her best Porky Pig impression...."bbbbbbbbbut itttttttts out offfff ordordordorderrrrr" but I haven't seen him since.

Ho hum!

Hope you're all well.

Baggy - must meet up soon, but tome is against me at the moment. Can you send me a text as I don't have your number. I haven't gained that level of security yet ;-)

Clodagh - I also owe you a text and apologise for not having done so. Please forgive me....
I should say though, that I have no idea what happened after I left you at the working man's club and even less idea about your new tattoos.

Goor Morning world

It amazing what a great dinner, a good nights sleep and waking up to sunshine can do for you.

I ready to face to the world today - lets hope the world is ready for me.

Rips - number texted to you - you have made the 'not an axe murderer list'

Baggy

Okay - and if we want to make a list of songs that make you happy - becuase its great to share the love - what is your number one happy song

Mine is - Mr Blue Sky ELO

And if I can find you song, either on yoootube or Mr islopd I'll listen to it today

Wow - I do feel good today - watch some eijit come and burst my bubble!

CLP, so looking forward to your book. I took the first one into horpital last week whilst waiting for FOUR hours to see Dr Man. got some funny looks for the spontainious laughing out loud I kept doing!

MTD - good luck for Friday - you can do it!

Baggy, great to see you upbeat - I'm going to put my thinking cap on about the song, I've got so many that make me happy.

Bids - nice to see you - bright and breezy here too.

Right off to practice my best "cat from shrek" eyes to make at my consultant later to not put another cast on my leg - will report back.....

have a good day everyone

Baggy, I have so many songs that I like, but going with what came to mind first - Katrina and the Waves, walking on sunshine always brings a smile to my face.

Morning peeps - lovely and sunny here in N Wales too and it really does lift the spirits when the sky is blue and the sun is out.
Kinda explains Debs and Baggy's song choices.

I thought I would have been on here more, seeing as I am not in work this week, but 'stuff' sort of too over and I was busier than I expected.
Had two of the sofa seats re-stuffed yesterday - 拢170! but boy is it more comfy to sit on than it was before. Well worth it.
Car in garage today - new starter motor! - another expense. Just as well I wasn't going away anywhere this week. Still they have to be done and it's far easier to organise when not in work.

As I am stuck at home today, I plan a little light housework and some baking.

As for my 'makes me feel happy song'? I am very fond of Summer Breeze by the Isley Bros but I also love Don't Worry, Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin, doo do do doo doo do doo de do de do, doo do de do de do, doo de do de do...

ttfn, Crumpy xx

Oops, did I say it was sunny? Just had a real downpour, out of nowhere - well out of the clouds, I know, but ....!
Typical just as I've put some bedding in to wash.

Oh well, cakes now I think.

ttfn, C xx

Good Morning Bids, Baggy, Debs and Crumpy.

A lovely day here on the Wirral Penunsula.

Songs that make me happy are Mika's Grace Kelly and We Are Golden.
Amongst many others too many to mention.

Hope all are well.
