The Ultimate Incentive natters on. Part 9

Birdie85

Yeah, I think we should definitely get it booked in! I didn't realise that it was on a Sunday which does make things a little awkward, but nothing we can't deal with! I can collect people from Harrogate or Thirsk (or Northallerton) station -just not both as they're in opposite directions!- so if anyone wants to come by train I can be taxi lady for the day. I can even provide a place to get changed if you don't want to sit on a train dressed like you're attempting time travel!

Boo to 24 hour bugs Cinny! Hope you feel better very quickly!

It was quite hard as had to cut out all the detail to make a stensil. The girl who runs it (my sisters friend) did the hard bits on mine though lol.

Bonjour all!

Love the bag, Wendz! And you had a bit of sunshine in Brighton on Saturday too

Glad you had an ace time at the big meet! I was busy entertaining Lionel Shriver, who was fierce - in all senses of the word!

I would totally be up 21st July if it's open to all? Cinny, you'd be horrified by my accent - I've been in denial, but I've got a proper Sussex accent which all my Midlands/northern uni mates reckon is super posh! (It's not!)

I would have been a bit stressed out by the painting too. I took my new work team to paint mugs for the office and dithered for about 40 minutes before painting stripes. I think my only creative outlet is food

Feel better, Cinny!

Birdie85

Yay, of course it's open to all Poddle! You may have to North up your accent a little in order to fit in though!

Hope you had fun entertaining Lionel Shriver!

Cinny. Actually everyone here sounds like me so you can't possibly have any other accent!!! Wow a vintage fair sounds fab. I've already started thinking about what I could wear and I don't even know if I could make it Sunday may be a bit difficult travelling all that way unless I could convince DH to have a weekend away (then dump him with the kiddies on the Sunday :rotfl: )

Bring the kids and OH with you, Star! Sure they'd have a great time, and your OH will give NIM someone to roll eyes with while we patter about different stalls :A

Don't worry Poddle, I love accents! Mainly because I don't feel like I have much of an impressive one, so I steal other peoples.

Feeling a little bit better today. Was up at 4:30am, out walking at 5:15, so I'm tired already. Feel a bit sick, but not bad enough to blag a second day on the sofa Did get an email through yesterday to say we get our neeew sofa on Friday, just in time for Eurovision :j now we're just in a panic trying to figure out how we get our old sofas out.

How's everyone this morning?

Hi ladies, loving the meet pics and so sorry I couldn't be there. I'm going to hear our banns read on the 21st (posting on my kindle which just autocorrected that to 'hear our banana read') followed by a naming day party for our our friends baby boy so won't meet the next meet either, but Tete and Birdie are making plans to crash my wedding with a cunning disguise so maybe I'll see you then

Your bag is fab Wendz, glad you had a great weekend.

Hope you feel better soon Cinny, there seems to be a lot going around at the moment.

I've been so stupidly busy with my new job but I promise to make more of an effort to keep up with the thread now I'm more settled there, I miss you all!

Morning all,

We had a fun trip to the hospital yesterday evening as Poppy decided to jump off the sofa and headbutt the coffee table. OH called an ambulance as she wouldn't stop bleeding but actual cut was quite small and they glued it back up. To be honest i am surprised this is the first time she has done this as she is a dare devil.

Won't be able to make 21st July as is 5 days before wedding eek! Hopefully will make one some time!

Tete_en_l'Air

Get yourself there Star, brilliant excuse for sewing yourself a new vintage dress! And there'll be loads of lovely places to stay and things to do nearby.

I wish weddings did have something to do with a banana, that would liven up proceedings wouldn't it?!

EDIT - crossed posts Wendz - hope Poppy's OK! Always sounds so weird that they 'glue' cuts!

Cinny91

Damn bloody weddings! We'll have to do something London way on later on in the year, post weddings and far enough in the future that everyone can get cheap tickets and (most importantly) be able to make it! We'll be sick o'the sight of each other

Poppy the stunt girl! Bless her heart, is she okay after everything?

"With this banana, I thee wed."
