  • :eek: Okay, now I'm getting freaked out!

    Billie & Happy, I can't wait to meet you both but ignore the hype, you'll be disappointed when you meet me and discover how dull I really am. :o

    Already stressing that you won't actually like me once you've met me, I have lots of bad habits.:o I smoke (sorry) I swear (a lot!) and if I'm surprised by a sneeze or cough (I fart! :o). Just thought I'd better warn you so you know in advance that I'm no laydee! (Promise to refrain from all of these bad habits when we meet...promise to TRY!) :rotfl:

    Gulp..Happy liked talking to me but was high! :eek:
    Billie loves me but hasn't met me yet! :eek:

    I think those two sentences is cause for concern! :rotfl:

    Happy it was lovely to talk to you too! (1hr & 35mins!!) :eek: Sorry if I kept you up too late. Must get my phone checked though, must have a voice changer wotsit to it coz you sounded welsh & apparently I sounded like Kat Slater!:eek::rotfl:

    Billie, replied to your PM but now understand what you meant by 'going public'. :rotfl:

    Psycho you looked absolutely gorgeous. If you thought differently, it must have been because you overdid it with the malibu! :p (beer goggles effect)

    Fingers crossed with your landlord, looks promising. Really hope he keeps to his word and that you get to stay there, I know it'll be a huge relief to you honey.

    Any dates for meet ups I'll leave to you guys & fit in with whatever. I noticed Mike went quiet, I imagine he's freaking out at his little house being over run with women and told that the furniture would be better put here or there! :rotfl: Not to mention the headache we gave him before with B&B bookings!:p

    Anyway, must try to get some sleep. Hope you've all enjoyed the weekend (and fireworks!) & that I get online at the same time as you all one day soon!

    Take care guys!

    love & hugs

    SB

    PS...POO, if you're lurking honey, hope you're well, we miss you! xx

  • Sorry Billie, Maty, I went to bed! Now how about that.... I'm the youngest and I was in bed, asleep before all of you!!


    Hmmm well maybe not too soon in the New Year, to allow us to save up for it. I know Poo definitely wants to meet up again. Also, please please please let it be a day off for me!! Billie you culd just change your resolution to 'meet all of them' although if that scares you a little it's fine....

    SB I'm pretty sure I swear more than you, you just haven't noticed yet!! I think you did ok on the farting front last week... and I wasn't actually drunk on Friday, just stressed out and tired and had gotten upset with my hair so felt awkward!!

    But, it was a lovely day and hopefully the photos were all amazing!

    Well know fact, as you get older you need less sleep :D

    Honestly we are not a scary bunch ;) Some of us needed quiet time in Littlehampton so we just wandered off for a little while. It worked and we all got on just fine. No fighting or squabbling at all. Well maybe a few raised eyebrows at times :rotfl:

    How about sticking a date in the diary for May or June so that people have something to work towards? Do we want to go for B&B's again or should we start to research holiday rentals? Self catering can sometimes work out cheaper.... A quick search for holiday cottages has turned up something close, that sleeps 10, for £138 each for a week in May. We wouldn't have to stay the full week but that is equivalent to 4 nights in a B&B at £35 a night. Ambles off saying this may be a very silly idea.......

    I swear too :eek: And I heard last week that we all fart on average of 9 times a day so there is nothing wrong with that at all, just some of us try not to do it in public if we can help it :cool:

    I think you looked gorgeous Psycho but I know what you mean about getting stressed when your hair won't go right - and why is it that everyone says you look lovely when you feel carp????

    Did the reading go OK?

    I'll have a looksee for accommodation too... I can moreorless work out my days off but it doesn't matter too much... Our holiday system is stoopid and I can't book any until January for February for the following holiday year.

    What about seeing if one of the B&Bs will give us discount for booking x number of rooms? Self catering cottage would be a good idea, depends which is cheapest really!

    The reading was fine, except I had been crying when the Bride said her vows and you could hear she could barely speak.... not nice having to get up and read with a snotty nose and watery eyes! Messed up once too but managed to get through the rest of it.


    http://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/rentals/littlehampton/48246 only sleeps 5 but it's £78 each for a week in June/July... so could work out cheaper if we find the right place!

    Lucky I dropped by... you're planning a week here! Eeek! I'm away most of that, unfortunately!

    SB's lovely. A total laydee. Everyone thinks she's brilliant, except that Julie bird.

    (Farts? Psycho, you weren't on the patio with her as often as I was. Just saying.)


    Think 'ripping calico'...

    No-one said a week, just that hiring a holiday home might be a bit cheaper than a b&B....
