    Hi all-boy I could do with a pool this afternoon, its so hot here in cornwall. I don't know why but in weather like this I always fancy burning around on a motorbike, but as I haven't got one I'll have to phone a friend who has.

    Can you put me down for a whole month AF please? Need to set a target as yesterday I really fancied an ice cold lager and lime-had a can of shandy instead but it was way too sweet. Constant vigilance-that reminds me, wheres Bis?

    Thanks for asking about the new job MP, starts 1st week in September, gotta do 6 weeks of training first, but at least I get paid for it.

    Catch you all later- good luck everybody.

  • Sorry guys, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth or anything :rotfl:

    I did plan to do some catching up last night but started watching the tennis. At 10.40pm it finally finished :eek: Go Andy!!!!!!! Anywhoooo didn't make it on.

    So thought, oh well I'll catch up while I'm supposed to be working. But what do you know, I've actually had to work!

    No much from me anyway. No more AF days. Oh actually, wait a sec did I report Saturday? If not that was AF. Had my mum staying and she was ill, so couldn't partake in a glass. Would have felt very odd having one, so didn't :D I think that makes 4 40sm. Super!

    It isn't sunny here. Infact the sun hasn't shone at all during this heatwave :rotfl:It has been muggy though. Bathed the boys last night and nearly faded away I was so bloomin' hot. Ended up taking my clothes off. Thank goodness other half wasn't there. He might have thought his luck was in! :rotfl:

    Best scoot. Work is finished for me in a minute and it's the mad dash home to get boys. Dinner is already in the slow cooker though, so everything should be stress free.........until neither of them want dinner, or throw it on the floor, or scream for something else! You know what like!

    Need to start again :o

    Hi guys,

    Sorry I have been a little quiet of late, but to be honest I am not feeling myself at all.

    I am back at work tomorrow so that may help me take my mind off things? I guess I should not have been looking at bed bug sites but I have and it has made me worse.

    The manageress of the hotel has not rang me back as promised but I have spoken to a solicitor I know in the town where I work and he has put me in touch with someone who takes up these types of cases. From what I can gather they are going to go down the lines of personal injury? I am seeing them on Friday so I will see how it all pans out?

    It is so horrible though the holiday was supposed to cheer myself and Mr BB up instead it turned into a nightmare. I feel so low it is awful.

    So my lovely 40sm I am on 20 days total, I know not the usual Budgie way, but I do have a specail dispensation? (Please) Thanks for the song btw, though I hope I have not given a bad interpretation of good ole Stokie land? Sorry to hear things are not good for you too, I hope things get better soon sweetheart. Lots of love and thankyou for doing the scoring this month. :T Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    So guys I am off to catch up now, I hope you are all ok and staying :cool:? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Btw where is: Gc, Fedup, Miss P, Ym,PK, Bis etc??? you are needed on here please come back? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Lots of love guys and take care. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Ps Jo I will be on my best behaviour in July, its a Budgie promise ;) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    PPs MollyPolly sorry to hear what your daugter has been through, I guess she needs to move closer to her Dear Old Mum? Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    PPPs Dear Lurks you are now just way to angelic with all this running, I mean in this heat??? My Ds has rang me to say it is: way to hot and he needs an air con unit. Go Figure ;) Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    PPPPs Hugs to Fay hope all is well sweetheart, Eselt good luck with the job, and dear Orchid why are you changing your user name? Sorry if I have missed something whilst I have been away?? Hugs all of you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Ok Budgie is really going now, feeling down but not quite out yet. Have drank more than I should have this month and do you know I can hear Gc talking as I type. Just to clarify Gc I have the uptmost respect for you and I am taking on board what you are saying in my ear, (if you understand what I mean?) Love n hugs matey. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Bhb, GG, 115k, Fluffy, Sea, Wbf, Pricey and Maman just a quick hug for you all too ;) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Welcome to he newbies, good luck and take care. Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    God bless everyone and good luck for July
    Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Good evening all,
    Well i've read the last 7 pages (inbetween poorly boy) but i'm pleased to say that i've done better than i thought. I think officially i would have made it to 20AFD's. I won't be drinking tonight little one's still ill and so think i'll be going to bed very soon to watch telly with him.
    I will be drinking tomorrow or expecting too ( exam results arrive)
    40sm - a big thankyou for scoring for us:T and good luck jo for next month.
    mollypolly - How awful for DD2 hope their okay.
    Lurkio - I will achieve 5k one day:rolleyes:
    BB - Hope your feeling better soon:grouphug:
    Fay - don't know what to say but i hope it all works out right in the end:grouphug:
    Hope everyone has a good night.
    I will lose some weight one day, but can't be at home all day - all i've done is eat :EasterBun but i've NOT had :beer:
    maz
    p.s. just remembered i've got hm choc chip muffins with cream - oh no!
