    Teehee Pyxis. I admit I had a bit of a childish giggle at your glory hole. But then I am queen of the innuendo. I feel urban dictionary is your friend.

    Birdie, you should be proud that you stayed strong and didn't spend all your money, even with your mum pressuring you and DS playing up. That's not easy.

    Melly - thanks for the dog photos. Always a good way to start the day.

    Hugs, squishes and all the other options for anyone who wants (Easy there, dirty minded people).

    Operation girl has kicked off today. I am attired in dress, tights, and even accessorised with a belt. Did catch a male passenger in a passing car having a good perve but that may have been because a gust of wind caught my skirt and I may have inadvertently showed him what I had for breakfast. I'm going to take it as a compliment anyway.

    Well, Code, if you will stand over an aircon vent..............

    Have a lovely time JM, the weather has picked up nicely for you. Handy you are off on your hols too, the fort seems to be lacking in sticks of rock....

    Code, today is a perfect day for operation girl, it is lovely out. I am doing the garden today and have braved a pair of shorts. My legs don't often see the sun!

    Melly your dogs look so relaxed and cuddly. Mine won't hold still long enough for a photo most of the time, never mind a cuddle!

    Thanks everyone for poking me to tell the midwife. She is sorting me out an appointment to see someone at the hospital. Hubby wasn't happy I hadn't talked to him much, but I think he understands now.

    I am planning to breast feed, but we have also got bottles etc in too just in case I can't. I am going to do my best but I have body issues which causes me to feel sick and panic at the thought of it. I am hoping once baby is here it changes things, but if not then I will bottle feed. I figure as long as baby is getting fed it will be fine.

    Calley help!!! I have found we have loads of bindweed in the garden (the one with the white trumpet flowers?) and it is now heading in to next door. What do I do?
    It was all over my apple tree and the one next to it, so because I felt sorry for the apple tree I have started to chop down the one next to it. Not sure where the logic for that came from!!

    Does no-one else know the term 'gloryhole' relating to a junk room/cupboard? I've known it as that since childhood, and friends' mothers used the term......it wasn't just me!

    Yes, it obviously could be used as an inuendo, but it wasn't till someone yesterday suggested it might mean something else that I googled it. :eek: :eek:

    Another example of a perfectly good word being hijacked for yucky smutty purposes. :(

    God knows what else I've inadvertently been saying! :eek:

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:




    (Never mind. Stay :cool: Pyxis!)



    Edit. Ages ago, on another thread, I mentioned 'Morning Glory' meaning the plant!
    That caused a hoot!


    I'm getting such an ejukashun on here! :rotfl:

    We referred to our 'gloryhole' on Wednesday whist showing prospective buyers round our house, and pointing to the cupboard under the stairs :eek::eek: Like you I didn't know it meant anything else.

    And 'morning glory' is a beautiful blue cultivated bindweed. :)

    You can do it, Melly! (have half a smoothie to help). I am so jealous of your alien family, I need aliens!

    Have a great time, JM!

    It's ok Pyxis. I walked up to a group of male building friends once after they agreed to help me make furniture from pallets. I loudly proclaimed "I've got wood!" They fell about in hysterics and named me the "Honourary Bloke".

    Go you, Code! Bet you look amazing!

    How much Birdie??? I would expect a full outfit for £80 plus some separates! Most of my clothes do come from cheap supermarket lines, mind you...

    The receptionists at my doctors say my prescription will be waiting for me in 2 hours. We are still on track so far. I am probably driving them mad by constantly checking but after the disasters of the last few months I just don't trust the system and really do not want to end up in withdrawal again!

    Afternoon my lovelies,

    Strange day. Sleeping is still an issue. But for too long now :rotfl:

    I go to bed at about 9.30 ish and then can't get to sleep to nearly midnight. I do read for a while.

    Slept through to 7am then went back to sleep and woke up around 10.30ish!!!!

    I won't take anything tonight to help my sleep. I have a friend coming round tonight so it wont be a early night for me :( should not complain as I rarely get visitors.

    Yes the cupboard under the stairs at MIL was called the glory hole. Is it a northern thing? As my MIL was from the buxton area. Who knows.

    I ought to do something this afternoon like clean the bathroom if I have a visitor. Clean out the sink and shove some bleach down the loo think that will do :rotfl:

    Not like the queen is coming.

    Yours

    Calley

    Arrgh. Yesterday I emailed about that beautiful dress and I got an email today saying it won't be on for 8-10 weeks. The wedding I wanted it for is 5 weeks away. I'm so disappointed - I've looked all over the Internets and can't find it in my size anywhere.

    They have another couple of dresses I like but I can't decide.

    I have been gardening all day. 3 trips to the tip and counting. My jungle is now only semi wild. And Gitdog has finally discovered the merits of sunbathing instead of complaining at me for ignoring him. It's only taken him 2 years.

    My internet is poorly again. Just praying I don't have to lift the carpets to sort the wiring out. So if I'm AWOL for a bit, it's not that I'm doing anything exciting !
