    :( about your conservatory Beanie. Not good.

    My LL has ordered me a new washing machine... wish he had let me choose it, don't know what it is, just that it is being delivered 'tues, which is no good as I am at work!

    He keeps calling my DH which is annoying as I need the info, so can try and arrange time off from work, plus have to think about DS.

    Hiya everyone - Susan here from Kit's - we are still up chatting

    Kit keeps saying 'I can't believe you lot are here' and giggling all the time

    Steve picked me up from the station in THE wheelbarrow and I've met his lovely Dad - Steve even made me a sarnie for lunch and we went to Lymington (99p store) and then on to Beaulieu - when Andy got up we drove over to Kit's via Calshot and Tatco for more yoghurt as someone left the ones Steve had bought for me in their fridge

    Andy and Steve are loverley have to say that Kit said, as I'm still getting a lift off them - even if it is in the wheelbarrow - feel like I've known them forever

    Kit was so excited and kept texting as we drove over and screamed when we got here - we had a lovely stirfry but Kit must have thought the whole of MSE was coming coz she'd made so much

    But mostly we have chatted and laughed (and exchanged Christmas pressies!!)

    Say hello Steve hiya everyone,
    well it was such a pleasure to go to the station to meet 3dogs and i must say she is so lovely to meet and very friendly.

    but she dosent look anything like her pics on FB as she has dyed her hair PINK.. plus she has found her false teeth. They were in the bottom of her handbag.

    Andy now.....

    Was good to meet up at long last with Susan, and to be honest am not sure out of the three of them who actually can talk the most....i have trouble getting a word in edgeways, still a good time had by all so far and Kit is a good cook despite what she may say on the thread, and as for choccie,,,,,, all i can say Mr3dogs is there wont be any probs if you put on a pound or three at your next weigh in!

    Kit here.......
    I can't believe they are here!!!This is us:

    It was worth it. Here's to the next one. Hope you will be able to make it!!!!!

    Susan only dips her teabag in her tea for 2 seconds!!!! interesting fact. Thought that would make your night!!!!

    Goodnight all.

    Awwwww reading your joint post made me so happy, I still have a big grin on my face now!

    You sound like you are all having fun, FaB! Hopefully next time, Mr 3Dogs can come with you and maybe a few others can meet up too? Maybe Beanie?

    thanks puddings and aesop, for your useful posts.

    andy here typing, today we made a visit to MrL's so that SW knows where it is and so that she can catch a direct bus there in the future. Then we pootled off to Gunwharf Quay for some retail therapy, although we did go into C*dbury world and decided that it would be very MSE not to touch or buy anything, steve left dribbling. We then headed into M*rksies so that 3dogs could get some suitable nightwear so that if the burglars broke in they wouldnt be scared away. Steve did see a nice hammock....ooops i mean bra suitable for SW to wear ok,,, it was a couple of hammocks that i am sure could be used as one of those catapult thingies that maybe the romans used to fire those burning oil bombs at the invaders.

    Next we headed to Whitt*rds where we nicked...ooops sampled lots of tea and coffee, this made us hypo on caffeine so we were persuaded to buy lots of tins of instant teas and different flavoured chocolate, one good thing is that they were 3 for 2 so we did get a bargain.

    Also a point worth knowing is that Donn*y sports are holding a closing down sale,,, 3 days left before they close so I (andy) managed to get a nice pair of white shorts to match my nobbly knees.

    Then headed into the city centre and chilled in BHS cafe where the fire alarms went off, a ploy made by SW so she could try and nick the crockery as she took a liking to some of it.

    Walked back to the car and drove home to SW's where she excelled herself in a great Indian takeaway that she purported to have cooked, but we did find the packets in the bin. hehe. she did cook rather too much rice so if you see lots of low flyiong seagulls in the eastern hampshire area then you know why!!!

    Did manage to set up Sw's new tv, wow is it a good one, however its very modern, so much so it took us over an hour to manage to understand how to tune it in!!

    Anyway hope you have all had a good day thus far and if you do want any white boiled rice we have plenty here going,,,,, am sure you can add some plaster of paris to it and use it to block up any orifices that need filling.....or use them as cannon balls
