Hugs to jenny bop she keeps you cheerfully insane which keeps us all insanely cheerful

Was going to say, watch your lips gal, but you're out of the league!! And DD wood had gots the signature, buts new MSE Forums no lick that!

Moaning and Mugs, Cup of tea, fireside rug. Sofa naps, you canno0t borrow cats! Free pens. That sounds wrong, a pen is a hold for sheep, how can pens be free!! Purse found, And a glass of wine, in the refrigerator.


5 Yet another Monster breakfast, with milk and tea. Guess that is all I does. Jam on toast. Gone out and got the eggs and snorkers for the morning. Later, I also got a decent tart, and should be alrights as it is egg custard


4 Got some cheese for later, as well. Two days in the row, some gal, parked next to the BoP truck, struggled to reverse out at the CoOp. Three attempts to get out, but needed full sea trials for the Queen Mary to edge out.


3 Trying like mad to get the new site up and working. OK delivering on a putah, but fones a bit miss, more miss.


2 Tonight will be a Scrabble night sort offs things. Now which side are the BoPettes on?


1 Conflict is nearer the solution, than we need mediation.

Just popping in to say good morning from my mums.
Popped in to say hello and use internet and do FaceTime with OH and DD1...thank goodness for modern technology.

Woke up with a touch of labyrinthitis this morning, felt it start last night. Lay still for a while instead of getting up and okay at the moment.

Drove past our house....was nice to see it.

Meeting up with DD1s best friends for lunch, so looking forward to catching up with them. They are all set for starting uni in a couple of months so it will be lovely to see them .

Then going to my old boss who's a good friend's for dinner tonight and a lovely catch up with her. Looking forward to that.

Will post when I can

ampersand - good to hear you alive & well & reminding us where we need it! Have at all slugs w WD40, (tho keep one can for vehicular miracles - that which Should Not Be Wet works once dosed.) Pauvre Andy - his spark damp for some unguessable-at reason - leave the man the remains of his dignity & wait. (Likewise Pistorius, but that circus has too many tickets sold.) Rhubarb rampant!
BoP - thanks for the early delivery of the wet as the grandparents need reasons not to be hauled around but allowed to nestle & play & natter. Live Scrabble updates awaited from rededicated Arena!
mhagster - hallelujah purse found! Delighted family here & there all in touch. If going to need a medic see one here where no call to pay upfront? Buddies & Boss all still matey - you have a gift for friendship (as well as blinking hard work) - may all go happily!
kittikins - delighted your new class are already in rapport with you & huggy! Congratulations!
supersaver - good to hear the new job includes tea in sufficient quantities. Archers on iPhone? Must try that - thank you!
CCP - a well placed quiet day is a huge relief if you slightly overdid! Glad CD was the odd noise & well done Isis on the entertainment front.
VickyA - it's all in the way I use notepad as a memory crutch. Hurrah for courses & consequences! Our laundry is like the poor - always with us, even with visitors. Laundry basket?! Singular, discreet? We run multiple builders trugs so at least it's bright!
Frith - delighted to hear the genie of the lampshade is a cooperative & helpful genie!
Giddynmg - shorts short enough to rouse interest whilst long enough to cover essentials?! Enjoy the games... I hope whichever unit you Guide with works out well (Scout assitant & Hugely enjoying it - come on over to the mixed side if Guides won't cooperate?!).
DD - rats on Valetta, all the best for January! & Thank you for outmarker explanation. Limbs entwined for daughters (downside of pints of tea is lock kneed shuffle when "At Capacity"). All the best with quotes (plural!) & stages!
marmite - well done on an early night & Happy Friday!

OS Pleasures that I didn't post yesterday IYSWIM...
Hearing a hay feverish colleague cheering on Rougher Nuddle. [Oh dear]

"When you drop a full jar of 20 pickled eggs it don't half explode on impact" - the life of the SAHP is not easy...

Teapoint musings - Weetabix should be eaten quickly whilst crisp, when somewhat soggy &/or used in construction as it sets like concrete if the dish is left untended. And that if served as food, should have Something added to distract from the taste. Lovely how bonds form over the washing up!

Stuffed on traffic, noticed car in front still had the key in the boot lock. Gestures later, key in car grins & thumbs ups all round!

Having time to admire thistles growing by roadside & wryly appreciating the ironies of traffic, Wimbledon & weeds.

"Hottest day"? Well, the cloud doesn't quite seem to have seen that Met forecast.

Visiting another office, the Ladies has a little basket of hand lotions etc &, I observed bemused, foot spray.


Big hugs to all who need them, WD40 dry socks & umbrellas likewise & all being well, we may have to water the garden this weekend...

CCP

I'll start with the less-good news for the day - I didn't get the job I interviewed for earlier in the week. I'm a bit disappointed, but also a little relieved as it means I won't have to move house, so it's certainly not all a bad thing!

On to the good stuff, though:

1) Received an email letting me know that I'd won a competition for a goody bag of beauty products. :j

2) Chatting to the lady on the till in W8rose, who had persuaded another customer to hide some of the RTC doughnuts on the bakery counter for her, so they didn't all sell out before she finished work. I just hope they stay hidden until the end of her shift!

3) Voicemail message from my sister enthusiastically letting me know that she had received the parcel I sent her - a toy minion (from the Despicable Me films) - with the words "I got a minion, I got a minion, I got a minion...". :rotfl:

4) Treating myself to a takeaway tonight, from the local Chinese place so I'll have three of four meals' worth of food for the price of one dinner. :money:

5) Received my c0-0p vouchers for this year - £48 of them! :j (I have a cashback credit card linked to my account, in case you're wondering how I earned so many points!)

LIVE SCRABBLE

Off thirst, and wobbleades are poured. Day. 14 all. But a seven letterer is going down the now. PUTTIES. Z picked up, nice PRIZE on the P. 120 plays 27. Clear blue water!

In the ZONE. Bagged the double word on the Z twice. This is turning into a battle of Sheep Dogs and the Sheep!

BoPsie bags the first treble, but only gets 16. Poor pick up by BoP results in a nice DYKE!

Poor show, TURF for 6 166 plays 60. BoPsie tiles down, no they are back in the rck. No here they come again.

Sparked back into life, on the treble word. FLINT! 190 vs 79.

The AVENUES have opened up nicely, 81 scored. 292 vs 102. More Wobbleade is sourced.

Hand full of a and i. Will the current BoPsie bounce back. 320 vs 105. I know, she could had got more, but it is either the cheese or whine that is affecting her.

Sorted the i and a out. EAR to the ground. CHAIN played, got a REACTION I know toooooooo easy. It's Friday and I'm in Love! hits the buzz box!

Now BoPsie has tired to open it up, and wants to p,ay her J. BoP blocks with AIDE. BoPsie misses the chance to pick up 37 on her J. JAM, AH and MI. Gameover BoP wins 420 vs 193.

CCP - sorry you didn't get the job, but relieved you don't have to move.

Kittikins - my course yesterday was about assessing computing in the new curriculum. Mmmm, very interesting but it means there's just so much to do!

My pleasures for today:

1) Loads of vouchers for use in Mr T's!

2) Claimed Mr T points from a receipt discarded by someone else who didn't have a clubcard. Is this called wombling? I'd never had the guts to do it before!

3) Got all my ingredients for my cake club cake! I'll be making it tomorrow morning. http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1224/blueberry-soured-cream-cake-with-cheesecake-frosti

4) Filled a bag with clothes for recycling. We have a Salvation Army clothing recycling bank in the school card park, for which the school is given a fraction of the money which the SA raise. Good causes all round!

5) And a bag filled with books to take to the charity shop. I'm feeling virtuous now! :A

Take care everyone.

Hope everyone had/having a Good Friday. :beer:

1. I started off the day with a PAD to the CC of £1000.25 (still makes me feel slightly queasy to see the safety fund shrink but it's good to see the debt come down)'

2. Had a very rare day off and spent most of it on the phone booking appts (heating engineer, electrician, drs) and chasing unpaid bits - not the best use of a day off but it was rainy and things needed doing for ages.

3. Booked lunch with a colleague next week, we are going to talk business and look at possible SE :eek:

4. Feel like I may have lost a pound or two (but I've been too lazy to get on the scales).

5. Had a chat with another friend who is having difficulty finding a permanent job. Her OH is having a dig and she was upset, I hope I boosted her confidence (he hasn't even looked for a job since redundancy over a year ago and at least she is working albeit temp contracts). We talked strategies and made her laugh at least.

Keep hearing a funny noise in the roof space - I think the wasps may be back :eek: as when I knocked the velux a few flew out. Need to get OH to go outside when he gets back :eek: although not a pleasure I an pm relieved it's not a big rat trying to gnaw it's way in :eek:

Ah bop. So you took your cue from Hurrchers Peggy ce soir:happyhear. So sweet. You let me win, was her gist to Christine. Haven't listened or caught up for a bit, but there was scrabbling on all fronts - kitchen cowboys, industrial farm enmity, bad road plan, domestics all over the [STRIKE]shop[/STRIKE]ship. All keels uneven, be wary, no careening necessary in the raking of this scoreline by Raffles, who uses his own h-g plumes and red ink. Photo[STRIKE]shopped[/STRIKE]graphic evidence reqd, but no licence fee, match reports being fed and read in playback time.

1. Oh well wimbledon, with lower case wubbleyou...little passion for & now. Can't even feel merely indifferent as my antipathy vers Djokovic and Federer both is deep and multi-grained precisely because I love tennis, not them. Pleasure is declaring it.

2. Overheard in w8r0s emporium, wine bot. brandished - 'Shouldn't we get 2?' 'Well, we haven't had this one before. We don't know if we like it' 'So when we're on the 2nd we'll know we like it.'

3. 4650 litres of &'s water filling neighbour's huge new pool for grandchildren as we speak. & has outside tap and round-the-world hose. Neighbour is paying & sum which approaches cost. Some might feel it shouldn't be on this basis, but it's 1/2 &'s normal water bill.

4....esp.as extra laundry for elderly parishioner is being daily collected and done atm. Hung last lot out, more bedding, @ 3 bells early dawn, beautiful time, and all three loads were in, ironed, returned by mid-day. She loved her fresh bed last night. There's a long road ahead and inevitable loss of independence on the cards re: car, 2-storey house.

5. M/w plate to be looked for demain as I rummage near-village street market. The one in Vicar's husband's Uncle's Panasonic fella, which & bought pre NZ, isn't the original, as suspected. Have made it work sortakinda, but it doesn't turn. Needs plate with triple lugs. Fingers crossed for lucky find, otherwise will dump-check - not paying £26! Change stash prepped. Have a number of things on Watch list, plus whatever oddities catch my dealing eye, mindful of budget necessary for same over the water next week. & à la jong£eus€.

ccp - call comp. win offset for unchanged coalface.
vicky - it is indeed called Wombling. Now that DOES require an upper-case wubbleyou, such is its importance on the gauge of world-things. Back in the day, we made a Unique and Irrefutable Case to the IOC for it be awarded Olympic status, Winter AND Summer. So it remains for we, The Cognoscenti, still. Strict t's and c's, year-round seasonal training[ex Foreign Legion], yet famberley-friendly and all-inclusive, Grades I>Extreme Status...it's all in the Archives somewhere. & has today added 47 abandoned pts to the call-them-free YHA nights she keeps for her cabin fever moments. Via CC+, they mean £3.76 hereto added. As & self-challenges to add the max. 2 daily when visiting ANY Mr T[cet arvo, being petrol necessary], always worked alongside w8r0s bien sûr... every little does indeed help, on a quarterly basis:D. Dover's usually a goodie. Have had 3-fig Golden Wombles there:j No, not telling;) Devoirs- answer on other Threads. Ah yes, there are post-grad possibilities EVENTUALLY for you, dd, kk, Frith, all unknown others. & gained her PGCW via mse, c. Feb 2010, but most Doctorates pre-date extinction of R&R. Only the initiated are still following.........
Has & any secrets left to spill?
Must be down to last silky thousands now.

Weak with hunger and also fear...will & be expelled/blackballed? Some were.

Today it's easy to find good things to make me smile!

-the sitting room table has been cleared of the mountains of paperwork that has been building up for weeks.Ok,the truth is that I've still got 10% to do...I will finish it tomorrow.

-I saw a sparrow on the pavement feeding a smaller sparrow with something.I realised that it was a fledgling that had recently left the nest,but still needed help from the parent birds to feed.This is the first time I've ever seen this outside of 'Springwatch'.

-I've finished an art project.

-I spend a while practising writing with my left hand.I'm right handed but have always been curious to see if I could master using the left hand.There is progress compared to how it was at the start.:)

-watching the tennis with some HM popcorn and a lovely cold beer (non-alcoholic) to hand.

mhagstar sounds like you're having a great time at home.Is it the first time you've gone back since moving to Australia?
