....Trust me I'd love to drive down to Brighton dressed as a star wars character - I usually go as normal and get mistaken for chewbacca:eek: However, can't drive and I'm about as interesting as Stephen Fry's love life is purported to be at present. Put me down for the next one though lol

1. OUCH ..but highlights perfectly why the 'experts' have got it soooooo wrong when they try to tell me exercise is GOOD for you
2. I can see you're going to fit in just right with our [STRIKE]mad[/STRIKE] friendly bunch We don't let little things like immobility stop us; think it was Keiss who hobbled along in Glasgow & ended up getting her crutch caught up in a police horse's tail around 1 am :rotfl: Just wanted to let readers know, that everyone is welcome to join us on our jollies & the only things you need are a poota & vivid imagination Some of us take the last requisite to the extremes--you have been warned!
3. oooo--ooohhooo..wotgoinonwivimthen *folds arms across chest & leans in for the gossip* I like Stephen Fry; he made a very believable psychologist in 'Bones' & I thoroughly enjoyed his road trip in a black cab. And of course Bertie Wooster..

....dancing show dd and I are in....going to sit down....and plan lots of lovely free activities for next week....

Great! Glyndebourne is not that far from Brighton & they have open air concerts..you can teach us & we'll do our interpretation of the Plum Coloured Sugar Swan We can pinch the elephants from the first page to chunk up the chorus-line--yes folks! We gotta shhhhoww! *jazz hands* Actually, that flippin annoys the bejeezas outta me, when people spontaneously burst into song & dance--how do they know the words & steps?
To be serious tho, I hope you both enjoy your limelight & really do wish I could come & support you x
I've found one SW thread HERE & from what I've heard, it's a good 'system'.
Are we going to share ideas for free activities? I meant to see if there was a thread already, or perhaps you'd like to start one :T

....Definitely not going to be making my target this month but shall try to get 2 more NSDs....Looking back through my spending diary, ....it was only a £1 or 2 that ruined it for me and often that was a social thing, going for a coffee with friends etc.

Must try harder in June.

I like your attitude PP; isn't there a saying about it being more important to try & fail than to fail trying? Wish I could find it :undecided as the wording rings so very true, for me anyway. Spending Diaries sound such a faff & waste of time when you first start this mse journey, but really do prove their worth as an accurate record of where the money goes.
Not quite sure what the solution is to informal socialising, unless you could meet at someone's house or take a picnic to the park outside the library or something...

OK..before I forget.. a WhoopWhoop indeedy to Pammi :T
If you're surrounded by false teeth & crimpolene Elfin, you're either in Eastbourne or Worthing..aka God' Waiting Rooms. Split the difference cuz Brighton's in the middle!
I'll have to see when the Navy Day weekend is this year & we'll do Pompey then :drool: all those sailor boys! Start practising the Horn Pipe folks, but keep off the tables this time Keiss!

Hope you're OK Curly & recovered from your European travels. I assume you got your brockwurst thru Customs without too much hassle, altho there was a strange squeaking from your lederhosen...

I got another nsd yesterday, so I'm off to lay my towel under the ready for the morning. Have a good one Peeps!

OK LFV - hubbie and I have been invited on holiday as guests of my cousin to celebrate her Golden Wedding Anniversary - she has hired the Royal Scotsman/Orient Express for a 5 day tour of Scotland with everything included (accomm, food, drinks, entertainment) so all we have to pay for is travel up to Edinburgh, kennels fees for 3 dogs, some flashy clothes, and any spending we might need on excursions including private tasting at whisky distillery, the laird as a guide around his castle, etc - we have checked it out online and it is superb - just waiting for the brochure my cousin posted to us today so we can start drooling over it !!!!

Which dancing werewolf ? .................. ah that one ! *Lets do the mash......the Monster mash.......Lets do the mash.......it was a graveyard smash:rotfl:*


Edit: Oooops nearly forgot to report NSD number 16 - one off my target but will get that on Monday

:T:T:T:T:T:T Fantastic. Lucky you!

And I'm looking forward to..............a day trip to Woburn Safari Park next week paid for with Tesco vouchers! Yay me!

BMF, had to take a second look at the first pink smiley:eek:. Rubbed my eyes, looked again, and realised it was watering eyes. *everybody rolls eyes.....there goes LFV again and her imagination*

Loved Stephen Fry in 'Bones'.......and David Boreanaz too........*looks for picture......ooooo Angelis*

Jazz hands :rotfl:Makes me think of that episode of Buffy where they all keep bursting into song. One of my favourites. Classic!

Loving your post BMF :A. They certainly make me smile and give very good advice.

Just made some sarnies for the journey down. Hope everybody likes egg. Tried to get a donkey but they wouldn't come by themselves. They say they have to stay roped together. So if you see a long line of donkeys coming down the A12 give me a wave. Should be there in about seven hours........

Welcome OlipopsMummy :j:j. I don't know about anyone else but I'm looking forward to welcoming our youngest NSDer in July!!!!!!

pure_dead_dopey

uuurgh, i see a sea of pink crimplene, where am I and why have I got another tattoo???

where's the vodka and me and the donkey (who's really called Hubert and he's part Arabian you know) have had a wee gallop,

heading back to brighton now for a spot of lunch, who had nibbles, I'm on my way.............

No NSD yesterday as had to restock the food eating fridge but will be NSD to-day, can't get my gauntlet in my pocket and breath at the same time, and me light saber's gone out.................

Nargleblast

Have just made a lemon cheesecake and a raspberry and white chocolate trifle for our visitors later. Suppose I could always leave them a tin of fruit cocktail and a tin opener, and bring the aforementioned goodies to Brighton......to go with what's left of the cut price sarnies and the vodka......

Nargleblast

Or if we're really hungry we could always light a fire and have donkey kebabs.....

Nargleblast

Anybody out there got room for OlipopsMummy on their Ewok/elephant/golfcart/lawnmower? Always room on the NSDer's end of monthly have-it-away-day for newcomers..........as long as they bring food and something alcofrolic....hic...hic...
