    Whaddya mean, a laugh???

    I've just got the front-runners shortlisted and I'm sorry to be mercenary but the free electric is swaying it somewhat. Having said that, it might be a hell of a trek from here but I'm not dismissing Scotland either ;)

    you could stop off in the Midlands on your way up!;)

    Ok, back to the serious post now...

    Huge hugs to Smokey, you are in my prayers and thoughts. I hope today went as well as can be expected.

    Hugs to anyone else in need (including Benthosboy(?))

    Hello to everyone else :hello: I hope you all had a good Easter. I had a quiet one with DS, just chilling!

    Today, having been spurred on by the confessions thread, I have attempted to do some ironing, just the uniforms and essentials though, ankle wouldn't cope with more than that, and have cleared a cupboard out to make room for all my cake/biscuit/and breadmaking ingredients, work surfaces look so much better now.

    Am sat now, luckily not drinking tea otherwise I would have to clean my laptop screen, just relaxing with my feet up!

    Have a good evening one and all.

    btw .... i like the sound of that drinks cabinet :)

    The worst of it is that I'll probably have to convert it to a food cupboard. I've become a lightweight where falling-down water is concerned. One glass and I'm anybodys, two and I'm everybodys :D (talk about walking into it.....)

    You could take on a few of us londoners in the middle of your journey - can offer free leccy, a wildlife centre (well back garden) and some plane spotting

    Evening all
    What's got into everyone tonight, I blame it on all the wine. Believe me if there were any strange s*x games that included a mouthfull of gravel I'd know about it. Don't forget I'm the one with a bag of marbles!!!
    I'm using my DD's pc as I'm babysitting, DGS has been asleep for a while now, no doubt DGD will wake up soon.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: We need to all turn up at Martyn's motorhome just to see the look on SWMNetc etc.. face! I think a stop off in Blackpool is called for Martyn - just to check out your Sean Bean credentials... ;)

    Twink that is also my favouritest poem. I threaten the children with it regularly. :D DD1 (21) says she is putting me in a home but will let me out for Yule as long as I don't wet my knickers.. How rude!!

    stefejb: I am also thirtyeleven... Obviously a very good year..

    Is there any chance that we can start a whip-round (steady Hester ;) ) coz at this rate, it'll cost me a fortune in diesel :eek: The Beast does 30 miles to a galleon but we're looking at Hampshire, then west and sarf London (Ken Livingstone will love me :rolleyes: ) back to Worcestershire and then up north. That adds up to some serious mileage :p

    Whip? Did someone say whip? Hold on there I'll just collect my handcuffs & riding crop.
