Daffy's 'a nice cup of tea cheers you up' diary

EssexHebridean

Sounds nice!



Oh, and stop Wibbling - it'll be fine!

I was thinking of you and wrote this:

Cheery Daff
You make me laugh
And giggle merrily.

Do not frustrate
The time you wait
For news on t’PhD.

Baileys do drink
With a smile and wink
And send a glass to me!


Short, but hopefully sweet!

Thats brilliant, Pickle! Cheery, just focus and breathe - it'll be fine, I'd bet a lotta dosh it will be.

Many, many hugs

`thanks Pickle, nobody ever wrote me a poem before :j :j Short and sweet indeed :j :j :j

I'm not wibbling quite so much now I'm only really wibbling when I check my emails, which I'm trying to do just at lunchtime and the end of the day :rotfl:

Working from home today :T :T Mr Daffs is here too, so lots to do, but lots of stopping for tea breaks

Quite excited about my trip to London with my mother now - I got my train tickets for £21 return, and hers for £25 :T :T Very MSE! :j :j :j Looked and looked for cheap hotel last night that wouldn't mean us travelling ages on the tube, I'd find somewhere then read reviews of bed bugs and wrong money being taken, or find you could only use a credit card to book (which I don't have).

At 11pm last night I got bored of looking And booked us into a twin room at Oxford Street YHA instead Don't know why I didn't do that first :rotfl: Guess I thought it'd be more fun to stay in a 'proper hotel', but I used to work for the YHA, I like the organisation, I trust them not to have bed bugs, or misuse my card details, so YHA it is. Apparently it's a 'busy, lively' hostel - should keep my mother occupied at any rate

£112 for both of us (in a twin room) for 2 nights. Perhaps I could have got 2 single rooms cheaper elsewhere, but there's only so much of my life I wanted to spend looking! :T

Total cost of weekend so far - £158 :T Not too bad I don't think, especially as we're close enough to walk to everywhere we're going, so won't need travel cards :T :T And we've got a kitchen in the hostel, so can make our own food if we want (at least toast!) :j :j

Right - cuppa, then work :T

I stayed at that hostel one year there was a train strike, and I couldn't get home from my Friday night work - its fantastically central, I loved it - if I'd been in a room where people weren't rustling plastic bags at 5am, it would've been perfect - I bet you have a great time

Cheery_Daff

That's good to hear KC! And since there's only me and mother in our room, I hope there won't be too much plastic bag rustling going on!

I love staying in YHA places, you get to meet such lovely people. I have never stayed in the Oxford Rd one though I usually stay in St Paul's. Very care worn but I just love the spot it is in. There is another youth hostel for future reference called the Meininger which is right next to the Natural History Museum which is cheap. Not a lot of twin rooms but even so it is quite nice and very central.

Must try that baileys.

Now Mrs Weeble, remember that you are allowed to wobble but you will never fall over (am I showing my age now?)

Well if you are, then so am I! :rotfl:

London weekend is all coming along well then Daffs - good thinking on the YHA accommodation thing too! :T

Charge your glasses ladies and gentlemen, I just received an email....

"Dear Cheery,

The changes you've made are excellent - and you've done much more than you
needed to you. I've searched for things to criticise, but I really can't find
anything. I'll be happy to sign this off as it is. Well done. Very
impressive.

Mr Examiner"

I believe the phrase is Hoo-F*cking-Ray :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
