    Ooh! That reminds me.....9 NSDs now!

    Why is everyone dancing round the Tardis? Igor - did you put something in that cake? Oh-oh, I hear sirens...and there are the flashing blue lights again.....why does every NSD gang bash end up with a raid? I never knew you could get drunk on cheesy pineapples!

    All together now, on the floor singing "Oops! Upside your head..."

    I don't think it was the cake Nargle, i think the Blue Nun is actually Igor's on variation - hic!

    :dance: 'Oops! upside your head....' lean forward, left, right:dance: ...oh...oh dear... i think I might have had a glass too many of that Blue Nun (i.e just the one glass brewed by Igor)...oh dear...everything is spinning...hic! _pale_

    Cheryl - I thought I had a busy day yesterday but I am exhuasted as well reading your list today.
    I decided to have a go at changing the bathroom light fitting before it went dark..... I knew the old one was starting to perish, but it literally crumbled as I started to take it down :eek:

    Having managed to get the last bits off the wires I went and got the new fitting - only to discover the old one didn't have an earth wire and the new one needs one !!! So I had to dig behind the ceiling to find the junction box, and yes it has an earth wire going into it - but none coming out...... And I've no idea where my spare electrical wire and earthing sleeves are, so I can't put the new one up until I can get some from somewhere tomorrow.

    So I've had to put tape around the ends of the other wires so I could put the power back on to the upstairs lights in order to be able to see on the landing and in my bedroom/en-suite tonight

    But it could have been worse - I could have decided to change the one in the en-suite first, which would have caused me major problems tonight ;)

    Since then I've pulled up the carpet, underlay and carpet grips and painted the ceiling and walls in the en-suite, but am leaving the gloss and grouting until tomorrow. Making tea now, then I think I shall hit the sack.
    We'll swing by and bring you a slice of Jinty's cake that Igor made after the party...wouldn't want you to miss out ;)
    Thanks :) (I think!)
    Cheryl

    "Yeel keep a welcome iiinn the hillllsssiddee..." (What? Jinty's not Welsh? Of course she isn't, how silly of me! That explains why there are so many men here wearing tartan skirts)

    I tell you one thing, the old memory is a-going.......that is the last time I drink Blue Nun on top of Igor's cake.....I told him the candles went on the outside....did he listen? Did he ffff....

    Doesn't she look nice in her birthday frock, though! Yes, Hubert, you look lovely too, in your Bay City Rollers nappy with the picture of Woody on it. No, Hubert, leave Igor's cake alone, you know you have a sensitive tummy......too late....oh my giddy aunt the smell is horrendous!

    And it's Oops upside your head singing oops upside your head... they don't make songs like that any more!

    Jinty, I think you had better put the kettle on and brew up some Ringtons blow-yer-socks-off-extra-strong tea for everyone, then get your menfriends in skirts to play the agony bags just to give everyone the hint that it's time to go home....quickly, now, before the flashing blue lights appear again! I know the smell from Hubert scared them off but they'll be back soon in full contamination suits and gas masks, so we had better all be tucked up in bed like good little chaps and chappesses!

    The next Tardis flight will be departing from Jinty's back passage in five minutes...all aboard! Come on, work tomorrow for some of you so time for bed!


    Now that's what I call a party!
