Thank goodness, as we expected without you and PN the thread almost died a death, it was like sitting watching the tumbleweed blow past, sometimes it was over an hour between posts....glad the heating has been successfully tested!

Are you saying I don't need to do the medieval jobs quiz as you already consider me your court jester?

Welcome back, lostinrates, with heating!

Just saying, its a pretty afternoon here. I'm saying because I'm guessing doozer wil bring bad weather again tomorrow :rotfl:

I was hoping to get grass cut today but cannot find the key to the lawn mower. Really annoying.

First proper performance last night and Josh loved it even if mic 15 caused him some stress out time. He really has taken to it like a duck to water and is doing his 'job' with great gusto and precision, although he has proved to be a little err, particular about doing sound checks and getting it absolutely perfect, much to the annoyance of the performers.

Youngest got a yes from the 6th form college and for the course of his choice, so is happy Not been an easy week for him though, completely off routine on Tuesday (birthday, visit to new build school and college interview), off routine yesterday morning (visit to new build....which the school cancelled without telling us about because of the strikes! The upper years were not impacted by the strikes, so just a normal day for us).

So, I have had days of banging (he does that when stressed, he doesn't realise he is doing it), weird noises, grumpiness and never ending ranting/stressing/talking at 3 am when I am trying to sleep and he should be asleep!

Not sure if I said anything at the time but James is going to be an SR next uni year and already knows which room at the halls he is in. He is looking forward to the responsibility and it is perfect for his character. He is also looking forward to coming home next weekend, partly because he knows he can earn loads while home (if the weather is kind!), partly because then he will have steak and spag bol made for him and partly because he has a washing pile the size of Everest that needs doing!

I'm the Tailor. I could cope with that.

The pics are beautiful. I ended up looking through others on the site, interesting find!

Not seen gravity, I'm not sure I should. I have trouble with just a bit of bad camera work on TV.

Gen, cut yourself some slack! You've just had a GA. It took me weeks not feel breathless walking upstairs or start to be able to concentrate. I had plans to read a lot, but couldn't hold a thought long enough; even this thread was exhausting.

Gravity is an exceptional film. It is an experience. Really should be seen on a big screen in 3d. Highly recommended.
Not always an easy watch, there are lots of moments the film is tense & there is edge of the seat stuff, but it is very very good.

The other interteresting thing in that article in a local paper was the mention of jelly babies nursery. Kept that quiet Lj.

it's a common name it seems. Loads round here have very similar titles...:whistle:

I've just seen a rather hideous looking fruit liqueur in a saxophone-shaped bottle...

I've lost half a bl00dy stone. You think I can get into my dress for tomorrow? There is an inch left on the zip. I'm so disappointed.

Nothing else to wear. I really don't want to shop for dresses for a ball and I really don't want to do it with 24 hours to go. I want to cry now.

What are your other options?

Can you borrow/hire a dress?

Ok.

Don't panic. This might be perfectly deal able with. . (I have to conceal stuff like this all the time when I have gained or swollen)

Does the zip end at the top of the dress at the back or under the arm?

Does it other wise look good and do you feel good in it?

What colour is it. I bet we can resolve this. In dieting have you she'd all extra water or might some idradrena......um, what's the product called here.....water retention stuff.....buy some space?

Are you carrying a wrap or anything tomorrow night?
