    Oh and it must be *that* time of year again, our kn0bhead friends have invited us to theirs for a BBQ and the invite says 'Bring beer and food'. So they're supplying the fire then?! Great.

    Ooooh, not them again! I'd just go empty handed to see what they say :D Why is it you haven't given them the old heave-ho again? I couldn't deal with that.

    Some exciting news my way, we've rented out half our office building which meeeeans... I get a new secretary friend :j Planning on forcing cake, coffee and gossip on her just like I used to do with the woman I split shifts with until our hours got cut :cool:

    LOL NIM, I might just send you along to theirs as a Truth-o-Gram! :)

    I don't want to go, nor does OH, but we know that our other friends will all go so we kind of have to so we can spend time with them. Think we'll be suggesting they all come to ours first though so we can go round together... an hour late! ;)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Am off to shave and sterilise the cat.

    Politics I guess. OH plays rugby with the guy who can be OK when she's not around, although he's an idiot when she's there. It's easier to just go with the flow for the sake of the group in general. Not good for my blood pressure though! :o

    That is good news, hope you get a lovely gossipy type sitting in the office rather than a 'stay quiet and get on with it' type! :)

    Was wondering where you'd gone old man. Man cave is coming on nicely. Hows the new house treating you?

    Same, I don't know why you don't just be 'too busy' to accept any of their invitations. Life's too short to deal with selfish idiots. Oooooh, did I post on here about telling Flaky Friend about her flakiness?

    Cinny Ryder is so beautiful, but at the same time has a sort of demented look in his eye :D

    Well done on the hearts! :)

    Please, do tell Tete!

    I want to be 'too busy' but I want to see my other friends who'll be there. Rock/Hard place. Cutting my nose off to spite my face etc! :o

    Birdie turn up an hour late like they do. Would they actuall confront you if you turned up empty handed?

    This is exactly the approach to take, and when they call you out, have a list of every time they've done it to you. Bring a list on paper though just so you know you have your facts right when telling them :D:D:D:D
