I remember you telling us of your sense of direction, M1 NORTHBOUND and remember to take second left on the roundabout off the M1

No - I don't go on the M1 anymore...I know my way through Sheffield now...
A61, turn right at Norton Top then down Bochum Parkway/Ridgeway Road/Prince of Wales Road/Greenland Road (basically one road right down into the valley...) and I won't get as far as Forgemasters cos that'll be Greenland Road I'm on there, looking at the map!
Why AM I nervous?
Just having a coffee then I am going to get tarted up...(in case of any David Bailey style action...)
Where ARE my manners? :coffee::coffee::coffee: there you go...

Anyone else suffering form a severely acute case of CBA? I just can't get motivated today. I think it's the grey, very wet weather!

Greenbee – might take you up on a cake tin or two…could do with a set of 2 victoria sandwich ones if you happen to have any? I had some in the distant past but they must’ve got lost in one of my many moves. .

I have 2 SPARE sets (neither non-stick, don't approve of it, that's what silicone paper is for), so you can have either 17 cm or 20 cm or both! [/quote]

Greenbee – I was tempted to go to the meet too, I could’ve met you somewhere en route, I’m not committed to the in laws for lunch! I’m def up for a southern meet, I’m in Croydon so would prefer London but can travel further if that’s the consensus.

Obviously we should have planned better this time :rolleyes: Sunday trains are a nightmare, but I could have picked you up from Basingstoke or Oxford... next time

London sounds like a good idea... that way the Essex girls might be able to join us to... any other thoughts?

Morning everyone
thanks for wondering where I was - I wasnt far away but I couldnt post as i was so down it was making me cry when I tried to type it out - its my own fault - I have tried to do too much again!!!
I never should have attempted the bedroom - whatever possessed me to think I could mange it - it has been a nightmare and I am not finished - if you hear me saying I am going to be doing something similar again please yell at me!

Toots - you should have posted and we could have helped you plan your way through it. Don't disappear like that again, we were all worried about you, and thought this might have happened. If it gets too much again LET US KNOW and we'll help.

Have also got all the stuff I put on ebay last week finishing today - and have 15 sales already!!! at least some of it is small and wont ake much packaging and it more clutter gone!
toots xx

That's great news - now don't worry about dealing with the rest of your ebay stuff until you've at least got your mattress back and can have a decent nights sleep

... re the meet... didn't get out of bed in time to get there ... its a bit far for a spur of the moment thing to be honest... Have a great time and we look forward to tonight's report

It's sunny and bright here - the sun is shining on our meet...
I wonder if Juliejim has spent up yet?
If we had the technology we could have video conferenced it...

... aahh.. isn't that sweet ... Valli's nervous


Seems a bit out of character doesn't it...;)

Ooh... my external instant messaging looks like it might be working again :j ... and of course everyone I have set up to test it on is offline (probably having a life or something ). It hasn't worked for WEEKS ... in fact for so long I almost thought about getting my own broadband sorted out :rolleyes:

Want to change your venue to our office in Leeds, and I'll nip in to Windsor (I'm sure Rach & Froddy could make that too)?

Mudbath

Morning (just!). I was up and out with the dogs at 7 and the park was flooded. Puppy dog made friends with two other dogs and they ran and ran and ran and ran somemore. She doesn't look very tired though! I had to come home and give her a bath because she was black!

I've done an hour in DS's bedroom and swapped some furniture round. One of rubbish and one for recycling so far. I'll do a bit more later on today then start on DD's room.

I'm going to walk to my mum's later and go shopping with her. I've been doing my two hours walking a day and i've lost 4lbs this week!!! I've scared myself though...fancied some chocolate earlier and had raisins instead....now that's just sad!!!:rotfl:

Hope the meet goes well and none of you are axe murderers:eek: . Joking - have a great time xx

soappie

Right - ENOUGH of this lazing around. I'm going to sort out the bookshelf in the kitchen and I will NOT come back until it's done..

Look out for the big B&Q where the bus garage used to be it's a left turn not far after that, there is a filter lane for it. We might end up having to park on the access road but I will aim to be there just before 2pm.

froddington

I'm feeling CBA this morning too - all I want to do is curl up on the sofa and go to sleep! Don't like this weather, don't like being on my own, fed up with my stupid arm, etc. etc.

Sorry - just needed to get that out! Has been a while since I've been like this and I just get cross with myself for feeling down :mad:


Anyway - greenbee - I was thinking London if people don't mind, though think it might be too far for soappie. It would be fairly easy for the Hampshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey people.

Maybe I should get dressed!
