I've been scanning the BBC News pages to try and come up with inspiration for a post.
Chanelle leaves BB. Who cares?
Tour de Farce has finally finished. No excitement about that. Even the bloke that won must feel a little let down and disillusioned by it all.
England back to losing ways in the cricket. Quelle surprise!
So there is obviously only one newsworthy item to celebrate...
Congratulations to Hazel for now being a world famous published photographer!!!

Random musings of a random Moose

I don't really understand... However if congrat's are in order then many of them to you HL!
Did anyone see the full moon last night? It was HUGE!!! There I was, minding my own business, howling away in my back garden when I suddenly noticed it. Unfortunately I didn't have to sense to get my camera and photograph it so that I could share it. I thought it far wiser to open another bottle and have a large glass of white instead.
Right, it's time to walk the bears and get some brekkie.

Morning!
Lyndyloo - I didn't get it at first either, but if you scroll down the article, it would appear that the only and only Ms Love submitted the photograph! It's just typical that "Men at Work" would, in fact, be away drinking tea or whatever!
Hazel - how wonderful to be included on the BBC Website!
Be back soon.

Blimey O'Reilly! I was going to put something about men having trouble putting up their umbrellas, but I'm glad I didn't now...the sun is beeeeeyooootiful today!
Blow me darn. Can't believe they used the pic...was only taken on my mobile! Just goes to show dunnit...
Am amazed and now have to print out several thousand copies to send to anyone who cares.
Thank you for spotting that Moose!
Going for a lie down now
love

Lyndyloo, missed the moon, will try to get a look tonight, but that explains why I couldn't sleep last night! Hope Roo is ok today...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ps I think Chanelle has changed her mind.
HL - well done you!!
Lyndyloo - hope you had a good weekend and that your mum, dad and Roo bear are all fit and well this sunny mornining.
I had a curry in the end on Saturday night and had a fine old time flicking between the channels, just because I could, with 'im indoors being away for the night and me having sole custody of the remote control!!
I'd been looking forward to a good sleep and a long lie-in, but was awoken at 4.30am by the rain hammering down outside the bedroom window and I only managed to doze after that. Got up at 8.30 and ended up doing the washing, ironing, hoovering and cleaning the bathroom, all before 10.00am. Ho hum ....
Hope everyone is OK. The sun's out and the sky is blue ....... a hosepipe ban should be in force by mid-August I'd say!

PS Chanelle has decided to stay in BB - but who's Chanelle?
Jollygit - you have no idea how much I would love to get the place to myself for an overnight! Of course, I love Mr S and Ms S, but I long for even just one day and one night where I could do my own thing! I would probably do the same as you though, and have the entire house cleaned in time for breakfast!
Went shopping with my lovely daughter yesterday for new school uniform (our schools go back in a fortnight). I said to her, DO NOT pick up any tops or jeans and show them to me. We are out to buy school shirts and a jacket. We came home with fake tan, new make up and a smock top from Dorothy Perkins which is, I have to say, lovely! The search for school stuff continues. I am putty in her hands.
Hope everyone is enjoying Monday!
C xx
Chanelle - in or out I still don't care!!!
Bonjour mes amies
Well I returned from over the pond and it looks like I bought a smidgen of sun with me so I hope you're all grateful!
I've been so good this BB as normally I'm a serious addict but I've not watched once this year, well maybe only a bit! Certainly I don;t know what's happening with Chanelle, which one is she?
Work have confirmed my Maternity payments while I was away too, and given me my annual increment which is always well received....
The house didn't float away either which I always take as a Brucey bonus :o)
Hazel - I didn't have any room for an extra Brie as my own fridge is sufficiently stocked awainting the birth of the baby and a binge session by me! Ditto the wine racks (only 24 bottles and 24 litres (in bag in boxes) plus 2 bottles of Pineau and 2 litres of scotch (not for me I might add), as well as the litre of Port and 6 bottles of wetting the babies head champagne! I think that should be enough to be getting on with!
Hope you are all well, will try and catch up with news but I have a feeling that it could take some time
:o) Jo
Jo - not sure the house could've floated away with all that booze in it!! Bagsy I get stranded at your place .......
Glad you had a good time - how's the bump?
jollygit xx
Bonjour petit chausseur! Ca va bien? Je m'appelle Noisette. Je n'aime pas les prunes et calamari aussi. J'aime beacoup les vins Francais.
...and analog, I had a Michelob for you. Once I'd managed to get the waitress to understand that I hadn't ordered a San Miguel because I don't like it and think it tastes like cat pee smells and I wasn't paying for it as it wasn't my fault it was open and she was a bit deaf because the music was too loud and by that time it was too much to hope that she'd get a JD&coke with no ice right so it was just easier to point and nod. I hope you enjoyed your birthday. The Badger is at the docs today. (Well he said he's going so I guess I'll find out later...)
Jo. I have ordered water wings and a net. Please advise if there is anything else vital to equip a virtual birth mother. I also have my eye on some naked flipflops, but am not sure if they would end up just floating away.
Moose...you are such a WAG
love

Hi Jo - welcome back, hope you enjoyed your break.
Just popping in to confirm to you I am free to join your drinks party. Any date. Seriously.
C xx
P.S. San Miguel - definitely smells of cat pee, that and Kia-Ora orange drink. Ghastly!
Welcome back Jo. When's the party??
Hazel - I truly appreciate the efforts you went to to have a drink for me!
Mr L was very attentive yesterday and managed to cook a very tasty roast chicken dinner which was washed down with a bottle of Chardonnay. Nothing fancy, but much appreciated as I didn't have to do nuffink!
I have been sent a recipe for chicken which I don't think I'll be passing on to Mr L ... anyone fancy trying it out at home and letting me know if it works?
It's described as "a chicken recipe that is perfect for people who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly
cooked but not dried out."
You need ....
Size 18. chicken
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing
1 cup of uncooked popcorn
Salt & pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 220c.
Brush chicken well with melted butter, salt and pepper.
Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn.
Place in baking pan with the neck end towards the back of the oven.
Listen to the popping sounds.
When the chicken's a*se blows the oven door open and the chicken flies across the room, it is done.
Hmmmmmmm
Jo Welcome home! Hope the bump is behaving. And Analog I had no idea that chickens got large enough to shop at Evans!
I've just got the tickets to the golf in and am busy putting amounts in envelopes to clients who fancy a day off work to come see us.
If anyone fancies doing the same just let me know soon as and I'll post some out to you (or your Mum HL)and you can come and share a glass of vino colapso wit me.
Luv
Lyndyloo

Am confused as to Size 18 Chicken. In my butchers they ask how many people you are expecting to feed from it, and then I get a lecture when I say at least four and two cats because you shouldn't give cats chicken and small children can choke on bones. I though it was peanuts but there you go.
And you can give cats chicken bones it is just dogs that choke because they don't chew the bones. Cats are not stupid. As for children I am not placed to comment.
Oddly enough, I have just sent jollygit a recipe for chorizo pasta.
Lots of food flying about. I may have to go and fetch a biscuit.
Would a Size 4 chicken in England be the equivalent of a size 00 in America? Would a chicken that was too small not be allowed to be a model in Europe?
Any help gratefully received and in the meantime I am looking forward to a good nights sleep.
Blimey that was hard work
love

(as the actress said to the bishop)
ps MfR, I got BP'd LUDICROUSLY early, earlier...I used to go and see Dumpy's Rusty Nuts. But then you kinda knew that dincha?
I don't know what a size 18 chicken is either. I assume it is some bizarre US method of poultry sizing. If it's a US size 18 does that make it about a 14 or 16 here and therefore average UK sizing?
And Lyndyloo I didn't know chickens shopped in Evans. I've only ever seen them in Dorothy Perkins myself.
My cat loves chicken (I try to keep him away from the bones because he is old and therefore, like the Queen Mother and her nice bit of fish, liable to choke on them). He'll be sitting by the fridge now, willing it to open and for the remains of yesterdays roast (sans popcorn) to fall into his dish. It's a spot he'll return to at intervals during the day until someone comes home to fulfil his dream. He's got a long wait.
I just had a very odd picture go through my head of some american person in white overalls and a hairnet, pushing plucked chickens through holes in order to establish their size. They have actually worked at the factory for about 45 years and can do it by eye, but the H&SE won't let them.
I really need to get some sleep and on that note shall sign off.
Thank you for your time

HL et al
Not sure how I knew, but I must have.
Best gig I remember (I did blog about this one next door a while back) was a pre-fame and fortune Guns 'n' Roses at the old Marquee in Wardour Street. 1987, 200 odd people, beer flying everywhere and a band on fire. Blimey, I was only sixteen....
Not long afterwards Axl Rose disappeared swiftly up his own arse.
Worst gig? An appalling bunch of Welsh hairspray addicts called Tigertailz. Dear, oh dear.
Worth a mention. Shed Seven at Dorking Halls a few years back, Slayer at Hammy O and U2 at Twickers a couple of years ago.
Hope you are all well.
MfR
Moose - well spotted (or were you tipped off?)
Hazel - well done. You could go far ;)
Dr McCrumble, are you suggesting for one minute that I may have done a small amount of self promotion! Am shocked at your audacity. Am extremely self-effacing/deprecating (delete if necessary) and would never stoop to such levels. Incidentally, my careers adviser always said I'd never get anywhere though, so thank you for your faith.
By the way, if anyone is interested, on Living2 tonight at about 9, Extreme Skinny Fowl. Poultry Spice and Jennifer Love Cockadoodledewit are just two of the 'celebrities' featured in this hour-long chic fest.

Well, this morning is off to a flyer. I had said to Mr S that rather than drive me into work this morning, he could just drop me off at the train station. Great idea. We started talking the minute we left the house and about 10 minutes later, I realised we were halfway into town! We are such a pair of old goats we had completely forgotten about the train station! It's scary stuff, and it can only get worse!
C xx
P.S. Lyndyloo - thinking of your dad xxxxx
I think I know the answer to this - but is there anyone out there?!
I had a fairly busy lunch hour - out birthday shopping for my boss who will be 47 tomorrow. I started working with him when he was 25 - he refuses to believe this! So, we have all clubbed together and have a cake and candles, balloons to tie to his chair and a DVD as a wee gift. He loves old movies so we've bought him Harvey, with James Stewart. To top it all off, there's a couple of bottles of champers to celebrate!
If this does not ensure my Christmas bonus, nothing will!
Hope everyone is o.k. - I never did like the story of the Marie Celeste!!

Hi y'all
I haven't been busy at work today, but have been introduced to Facebook .... OMG it's SO addictive.
Anyhoo, hope everyone is OK and enjoying the sunshine at the moment.
jollygit xx
ChrissieS, I am here but am a bit busy for a Tuesday! I have also made a cup of tea that tastes of fish. I have noticed fish-tasting tea before so I am aware this is not a new pheneondmagnadnmenonaoon but I appear to have followed all my ushool tea-making routines so am befuddled as to why this one, in particular, tastes like fish.
Anyhoo, I'm about to sit outside in the sun with a ciggie and stare at the sky just to see if I'm being watched, so if I'm not back, probably best you don't come a-lookin'...
Paranoia aside, it's just all a bit quiet generally I think.
So it's not just you.
Although it is probably just me...
love
hazel
x
Of course I am not allowed Facebook at work.
I'm going outside now, and you just can't stop me.
Jollygit and Hazel - lovely to see you, I was starting to get just the TINIEST bit spooked!
Jollygit - don't know anything about Facebook, but Ms S is addicted to Bebo and MSN Messenger. Both frighten the life out of me. In my day, we wrote personal letters which were then hand delivered by "the staff".
Hazel - why must fish be so smelly? I just love it, but it is SO smelly. I fried some fabulous fish last week, but the house smelled of it for four days. I went through an entire can of Oust and have used two of my favourite candles to get rid of the smell. I'm trying to come to terms with it all, but it's not easy.
C xx
...and THAT ChrissieS is EXACTLY what my tea tastes like.
Your house (or my house, lets say 'one's' house) after several days since cooking fish.
Or did your Gran'ma ever do boil washing on the stove.
I should pour it away I guess, but I can't be @rsed getting up again.
So, Chanelle has gorn for good then eh? Good.
ps Chrissie, have you heard from Susan? I think I may have had some text messages from her, but I don't know.
I am here too, had a chance to look but not to write. Only 3 and a half days 'til Dorset so am trying to cram in as much work as possible before I go!
Have been thinking of Susan and Mary as I know times are hard for them at the moment.
Also thinking of Lyndyloo's bears and parents.
Hazel - is the milk on the turn 'cos that makes your tea taste strange sometimes?
Chrissie - really thoughtful of you to treat the boss - I would say it guarantees a Christmas bonus for you!
Jo - someone said you having a party - when and where - save a seat for me!
Have some Tuesday cheer!:
A college professor was doing a study testing the senses of first year schoolchildren, using a bowl of fruit Polo's.
He gave all the children the same kind of Polo, one at a time, and asked them to identify them by colour and flavour.
The children began to say:
"Red............cherry,"
"Yellow.........lemon,"
"Green..........lime,"
"Orange........orange."
Finally the professor gave them all honey Polos. After eating them for a few moments none of the children could identify the taste.
"Well," he said "I'll give you all a clue. It's what your mother may sometimes call your father."
One little girl looked up in horror, spat hers out and yelled:
"Oh My God!!!! They're a***-holes!!"

amanda - Jo has copious amounts of wine with which she is planning to whet the baby's head once the jo-ette :o) is born. We are in the process of trying to find out where she lives because we believe the hoard includes some half decent vin rouge.
ChrissieS, it is Susan. Have just been able to identify number. If you speak to her, please give her my love x
on that note
love
hazel

Hazel - if you speak with Susan I have sent her a short email but will you pass my regards on to her. I do hope everything is OK with her and the family.
Once we know where Jo is and if it is on my route to Dorset I will pop in and indulge in relieving her of some of the stash!
A x
Amanda!! I hope you enjoy your stint in NC1 before you leave for holiday! Great joke!
Hazel - I have not heard from Susan, but I will email her just to let her know we are all thinking of her.
Also, just want to say to Mary - hope you are on the mend. We are here for you just when you are ready.
Jo - when will you start your parenting classes? I ask this because one of the guys in my office is attending classes with his partner. The baby is due in around 8 weeks and apparently last night's class was terribly interesting. Something about placentas!! Seriously, from what I've heard, childbirth is a breeze!
C xx
Chrissie - childbirth a breeze - you are wicked, he he.
Amanda - good joke!!!
My thoughts and prayers are with Susan and Mary xxxxxxxxxxxxx and hugs to you both
Can I say just a tiny wee thing about Big Brother? As I have said before, I do avoid it but because we are seeing our BB-fanatics friends next week, I've been having a look-see. Unless I am very wrong, that wee lassie Chanelle has been totally led up the garden by that eejit Ziggy.
He's the one who homed-in on her from Day One. He's been all over her like a rash, but now he's decided it's a bad idea and he wants his freedom. He said to her the other day - the classic line - it's not you, it's me (at fault). Ye gods, (with due respect to our lovely boys on this blog) guys have been using this pathetic line since Adam fancied a piece of fruit!
Just felt I had to defend Chanelle, even though she does appear to be a bit of a pain! And what a voice!
Hope I haven't got it all wrong!
C xx
Chrissie - I think you're right re: channelle and ziggy (don't watch but catch up via t'interweb live updates)
My current location is a secret but I can let slip that my postcode starts with ST.....
Have started cooking loads of extra stuuf when I do a proper tea to put in the freezer for after the baby arrives (I don't like to use the b or l words as I am in some serious denial!) it's just a shame that you can't dress the baby in left over spag bol!
Jollygit - welcome to the dar side of Facebook, I'm on there as Jo Aldridge if you want to poke me!
Hazel - have words with your IT department and see if you can justify a social networking site being allowed through the firewall?(by the way, I'm guessing that you didn't find out you were being watched by anyone earlier?)
Just been to midwife - all is well
:o) Jo
No ChrissieS. Chanelle comes from some kind of strange stock, but (purely Devil's Avocado here) I think she is one of these people who has to be with someone - needing approval all the time - a perpetual child - and Ziggy, took advantage of that, but by the same token, I do think he has some sort of fondness for her and now the Devils Advocaat is taking over...
I just think it's a shame she hadn't been able to practise her violin because I think she is probably quite good, and you don't get many 19 year olds who wanna be a Posh Spice, who also admit to playing the vile in now doo ya?

Jo, bent backwards over a STable door is hardly appropriate for one about to become a mother. Secret or not.
Do behave.
...and yes I am, but they waved, so I'm working on the assumption that they are at least friendly.
But the B and L words? I have NO idea to wot you are alluding. And me to be your birthing partner!
I am allergic to chillies though, so if you could clearly lable all chilli containing items that would save us all an ambulance.
thank you
x
lable?
PLEASE
LABEL.
for crying out loud.
Jo: I am with Hazel on this one - b and l - please explain! So glad the widwife has said everything is o.k. Of course it is - it's when Jo Junior gets to 16 that the fun starts!!! (I'm so ahead of myself!)
Hazel - I forgot about the violin. But I stand by my "it's not you ......" stuff. Cowardly, pathetic and downright ungentlemanly! (is that a word?)
C xx
Hazel - I'll just point you in the direction of the drinks fridge and CD collection shall I?
(birth and labour - turn me into an ostrich sticking my head in the sand and singing lalalalala!)
:o) Jo
Postively caddish my darling Chrissie!
Yes, that's fine thanks Jo. The b, l, s, p all sorts of words just make me go SQUEEM!
chow bananas anyway chubbly bumps
thank you for a lovely day Moose
kissies and cuddlies

Jo - NOW I understand! The guy in my office tells me that at the class last night they were told that the reason the labour is painful, is to prepare the baby for what's about to happen.
All perfectly natural apparently. Nothing for you to worry about - not even for a moment.
CAN YOU HEAR ME JO - STOP SINGING SO LOUDLY!
C xx
Jo - I've had some invitations in me time but blimey ....... anyhoo, without being too graphic, surely that's Mr Jo's job, should the baby go over his/her due date!!!!! (methinks I'm in NC1 tomorrow - oh yes)
jollygit xx
PS but because I'm curious, and I can, I'll poke you tomorrer Jo .....
hi all, fleeting again. Lyndyloo hope the bears and your ma and pa are ok!
Jo, of course childbirth is a breeze - women would be stupid to do it more than once if it wasnt!
Facebook - its the devils work. And i love it. Am Anna Mansell if you fancy looking me up jollygit.
feel like i am losing track of everyones whereabouts. Hope those of you who are not around are managing ok, am thinking of you SusanS, mary, Gaby, DWNB, Keith, DD etc.
The rest of you, hope you are all ok and dealing with house moves, websites, workloads, animals, family and so on.
am lurkin, even tho im not getting chance to post.

Hello My Lovely friends xx
I am here and doing okay - sorry for not posting before now. I have been wallowing in self pity and feeling sorry for myself because the pain after my operation was way way beyond my expectation! Glad to say it's easing off a bit xx
Susan my darling - my thoughts and prayers are with you, Andrew and Charis xx
Keith - thanks for a loan of the stockings but you are more than welcome to have them back :o) xx
I haven't caught up with the posts yet - hope you are all ok xx Sending some {{{{{{hugs}}}}}} for those who would like one xx
Lots of love
Mary xx
Mary - there's no harm in wallowing every now and then ... I always feel just that little bit better after a good wallow! I'm so glad you're on the mend at last - you've been missed xxxx
It's another sunny day darn here in Kent and I hope it's the same for all bloggers, wherever you are
jollygit xxxx
Mary - so good to see your wee message. No wonder you have been wallowing a little - surgery is really sore! You have been really missed and lots of people have been asking for you, as you will see when you get through everything.
Susan - you know how much I am thinking of you. Wish I could say something that would help, even just a little. We are all here for you if you need us.
Anna - good to see you. Also, it's good to know that you are lurking, even if we don't hear from you!
Hope everyone else is o.k. My plan for today is to refrain from moaning. Until at least 11.40.
C xx
It's a lovely day in Bath - hope it is for the rest of you too. Does that mean summer is finally here?
Chrissie - it's almost 11.40. What happens then????
Good Morning!
Have just caught up on your blogs Moose, but apologies to everyone else, as I haven't yet had time to catch up with what you've all been up to in the last couple of weeks.
I have had possible the best holiday ever - and Boy oh Boy, did I need it!
Temperatures in the 40's - staying in a little village in the Cretan hills, going to beaches that Greeks use, staying away (as much as poss) from the tourist beat... almost felt agoraphobic at the airport!
Got back at 6 am this morning - special friend came to pick me up (bless him), which was lovely, as I was feeling a little tearful at leaving the kids behind.
Now, it's back to work (from home today, thank Heavens) and reality. Meanwhile, plans are afoot for a permanent move to Crete... Just need a good bonus for this year and redundancy early next.... I will be visiting Father Christmas and telling him I've been a very, very good girl this year!
By the way - hope you're all dry. I heard about the dreadful weather the UK has encountered and thought about you all.
Love
S xx.
This might make you smile:
To My Dear Wife,
You will surely understand that I have certain needs that you, being 54 years old, can no longer satisfy. I am very happy with you and I value you as a good wife. Therefore, after reading this letter, I hope that you will not wrongly interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my 18 year old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel. Please don't be upset - I shall be home before midnight."
When the man came home late that night, he found the following letter on the dining room table:
My Dear Husband,
I received your letter and thank you for your honesty about my being 54 years old.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are also 54 years old. As you know, I am a math teacher at our local college. I would like to inform you that while you read this, I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of my students, who is also the assistant tennis coach. He is young, virile, and like your secretary, is 18 years old.
As a successful businessman who has an excellent knowledge of Maths, you will understand that we are in the same situation, although with one small difference –
18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18.
Therefore, I will not be home until sometime tomorrow.
jollygit x
Oh cripes.
Is 11.50
What happened at 11.40?
Woddidi miss?
sammie, glad you had a good break, you needed it by the sounds!
Hurrah! Managed to get WAY past 11.40 without moaning!
In fact I am in such a good mood today, I am not going to moan at all!
So ..... that's me run out of things to say!
C xx
Blimey - just read an e-mail about restructuring (it has been more than 12 months since the last one...) - my wish regarding redundancy may come sooner than anticipated!
Now - do I just do a bloody awful job in the hope they will WANT to get rid of me, or do I continue as usual, working hard, but refusing to suck up to anyone?
S xx.
Just checking in - for heaven's sake will you lot stop chattering for a second and let me get a word in!
(Is everyone on Facebook??? Is that the reason for the silence?!)
Anyway, Jollygit - loved your joke. Think I may try this when I get to 54. Only 3.5 years to go - ya beauty!
Sammie - welcome home! Weren't you dying in the heat? And of course it is Armageddon here. It must have been difficult for you to leave the children, but hopefully it will help you. A move to Crete! Why not? Life is for living and if you can do this, and it's what's best for everyone, you go for it! Will you be thinking of renting out your new place for holidaying Scottish people ......?
Right, I'm going to try to do some work!
C xx
Chrissie,
Surprisingly, the heat was fine - it's a very dry heat and it was windy (albeit a warm wind), so not too bad. When the temperatures really soared, I just stayed in the shade. Plus, of course, made sure I drank plenty of water. I reckon I consumed at least 4 litres each day! My parents don't have air conditioning, but a few strategically placed fans helped with sleep - although the heat does tend to knock me out anyway!
It was 26 degrees when I got on the plane at Midnight last night....
With reagrd to renting out the home over there - I would only come back here at Christmas, so you're welcome to it then, if you like!
It IS quiet here today...
S xx.
Jo, not that I want to worry you, you understand...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6920912.stm
...and ChrissieS, think Crete and the hete in Crete - I bring you back to my previous comment re the Scotch Beef. I have not yet reported the dryer, have you sorted your oven. I have an excuse in that I had no cash to give the estate agent for rent, so needed to avoid him at all costs...so you?
ps I am still awaiting your email address so I can send my panic button pic.
Am going to go and sit in the sun with a cig now. There seems to be b all else to do today, and then I JUST KNOW my colleague'll say 'Uh, d'you jus wanna do these bits before you go?'
Sir Rodney Effyng. With two Effs.
Sammie - can holidaying engerlish peeps use it too?!!! I'll swap you me French hoose (when I get it, that is!).
Anna - would that be Anna Mansell, Sheffield? And Jo, I've just poked you but not sure what's supposed to happen now !!
I'm ready for a kip - honestly, it's so quiet here that two colleagues and myself have already reorganised the office, dusted and hoovered and cleared out loads of rubbish 'n stuff, and still it's only half two ... zzzzzzzzzzzz
jollygit xx
She should've called the baby Dulux ...
Hazel - you sooo have me clocked! OF COURSE I have not spoken to anyone about the oven! So far this week we have had: cooked chicken and salad; stir-fry and rice and last night - chips & ham! It won't do. I have tried to get through to the powers-that-be, but unless you are a new tenant and paying great wads of cash upfront, the phone is constantly engaged! I am on the case this afternoon!
Can you please get my email from Mr Moose. I promise I will not bother you any more than you wish. Only Mon-Fri, 9am-12midnight - nothing to complain about, surely?
We have the champagne on ice in the office. Boss is out "for lunch" with other boss. Apparently they have met up with some raving lunatics in the property world in Glasgow, so it could be a long wait for them to get back!
Sammie - yes, I see what you mean about the dry heat. It really is humidity that causes the problem in other holiday destinations. And as for Christmas in Crete - you are on! Just as soon as Ms S stops believing in Santa Claus, we will be free to do as we wish.
C xx
Hello everyone :o)
Hazel, am hoping that my l is that quick, then I might be able to bear thinking about it, and I'm sure the store manager was really amused when another pregnant lady went in to ask when the delivery suite was opening, that's split your sides hi hi hi hilarious!
Chrissie - Santa knows about when you're on holiday, he can get you wherever you are in the world (which used to freak me out slightly when I was a true believer, (am still secret believer!))
Am so bored at work - am counting down the days till I finish (only 20 days left in the office!). Bored bored bored!
:o) Jo
I feel like being really naughty!
Shall I go and get my hair done in works time?
Shall I ring special friend and demand he visits me - RIGHT NOW?
Shall I go and watch Countdown?
Or, should I just send v naughty texts to special friend??????
Oh, decisions, decisions!!!

Now Sammie - this is where the old goat in me raises her (ugly) head! I would never, not never, as in NEVER put anything remotely naughty in writing! The written word is there for all time. Say you lose your phone. It gets into the wrong hands. It could be that your texts mean nothing to anyone else in this world. But ...... Sorry to be old fashioned - why don't you call him and say "the kettle is on, why don't you pop round for coffee, at your earliest convienence". Or whatever chat we are using these days!
As for the hair cut, can't you do to that tomorrow morning, when you are attending that breakfast meeting you have just remembered?!
You are sounding in great form - amazing what a wee holiday does for us!

Jo - I've tried poking you but it just says it's loading, but that was about 20 mins ago. If you fancy poking me, I'm Jill Mason and I'm the first one on the list.

Oooh that reminds me, must book hairdresser.
Jollygit, the first on my list is from America - am guessing that's not you!
:o) Jo
Oh Sammie, Dr Love prescribes maybe one everso slightly riskay text, which may encourage special friend to visit of own accord rather than by specific invitation...though I say it myself, that approach does seem to bring the Badger home a little more quickly every now and then...but that's not for here...
Make the most of the heat and having a tan!
Jo - then I'm pretty sure I'm second on the list ..... iss getting a bit confoozing for my little brain tho, I have to say!

...although Dr Love has to admit a certain amount of concern that a pregnant laydee is being poked. I trust this is not with a stick?
I've done it. The naughty thing. Well three things akshully (as HL would say).
1. Rang old friend - great guy - fancied him once upon a time, but now we're really good friends - and chatted for 40 mins - in work time too - oo-er.
2. Inserted new dangly navel jewellery thingy that's very pretty with spangly bits and butterflies. Looks lovely with a tan.
By the way - my mum didn't react to my piercing the way I thought she would (how disappointing!) She asked so many questions, I think she secretly wants one!
3. Sent txt to A. (Special Friend)
All naughtied out (for now anyway!!)
S xx.
P.S. Chrissie - I always delete all text messages before I go to bed and the naughty ones are deleted as soon as they're sent/read! I think they'd make a great book.... You could take random texts ad use them as a basis for each chapter... (This uidea has been copyrighted....)
P.P.S Boing boing boing.
P.P.P.S Just call me Tigger!!
Gosh you're all very chipper today - especially Sammie. Dangly navel jewellery indeed. Sounds glam though. Just wish I could bring myself to have a piercing but the thought makes me shudder.
And call me old fashioned but I'm not sure about poking anyone, with or without a stick. Isn't that impolite?
Hallo mateychops,
Longtime no visit. However am here now.
Yes, Hazel. Excellent. Big thrills when you get something published. I got one published on May 3rd LAST year, and I still scan the Cached pages to look at it again.
Full Moon on Monday... check my flicker. www.flickr.com and look for Dylcruz (as a person not a photo). I got a a picture of it, can't remember whether it was Monday or Sunday, but it's the same moon. Honest.
Cheers to you all.
Nice to see you are all keeping up with it. I'm pathetic.
