Well done on the job C.
Beebs you would look good in, or out, of a hoodie.
PS on the grant, on the task list.
Well done runners
enjoy your day Pink
i am walking in to work again today.
happy thursdays
Morning
coffee's on. The shortbread still needs finishing, so if anyone would care to save me from myself...
Had a very strange tea last night, finishing up bits and bobs left over from christmas. cold pork, saute potatoes, bubble & squeek (with potato & swede & sprouts) beans & a vege burger just to fill the plate. I like all the items individually, but I'm not sure it necessarily worked all on the one plate! Just the pate & stilton left now, so I'm on pate & salad sandwiches this week for work.
Well done on the running and other assorted exercising going on. Jealous - still a crock. Had to ask H to help be out of my top last night, left shoulder isn't functioning properly. He then came to bed to find me smelling of deep heat, (mmm) and that's not at all romantic!
Nice work on the grant, but ooops that a lot of task list! Sounds like we'll know exactly who to blame when the nets get a ladder in them.
Morning
HL - I've got quite enough biscuits of my own to get rid of thank you .............. and then there are the ones at work too!
And our drain smells. Guess what I'll be doing at the weekend?
<grabs a coffee and sulks out of the kitchen>
Telling Pink how to use a set of drain rods?
Fab news on C's job, Madge's licence and the grant
Helen can you get that shoulder looked at? I can recommend Tim the scrummy osteo, a long drive for you, but well worth it, trust me. He's pretty good as an osteo too!
Pink have a lovely day today. You never know, Little W might get the hint and decide to come out and play with friends
Morning, it's raining here too Mr W!
I am working at home today so a later start
Happy Thursdays everyone
I popped into Mr Sainsbury's high street emporium on the way to work today and purchased some nutcrakers. Much easier on the hands today i think.
I am planning to go to my running club session on Saturday. First time in months.
If you can crush walnuts with your bare hands remind me not to shake your hand the next time we meet
Morning all
pisshing down here too
Thanks for all the good wishes for C, its just a great start to 2011, there will be a full time post in August and I think once you have a job its easier to get a job.
No Christmas treats here but we do have Swedish treats, including cheese
Great news on the grant, PS, lol at you having 23 jobs on the list, hope your wrist is ok
Progress on the health front, I only coughed for 5 minutes on the way back fom the loo and haven't needed any drugs yet
Have a lovely cuddly day, Pink
HL its funny with the hoodie, I didn't feel I looked like me and I know that if I go out in my long velvet coat I get treated differently by people. We all make assumptions on what we perceive people to be based on how they look.
I was an ok teen on the whole.
Happy Thursday
Mr W, it's not about strength but technique. Remind me to show you next time we meet.
<Adds walnuts to the list of things to bring to the next kitchen gathering>
I thought everyone owned at least one hoodie. My favourite is a green and orange FF one.
I have an enormous, chavvy, brown velour zip-up hoody for enormous pregnant ladies. At least I thought it was enormous, now it seems to have acheived 'fitted'. It looks particularly chavvy with some brown tracky bottoms, but comfort comes first these days
Having said that, I'm sporting my lovely (also enormous) black dress and boots today for my coffee and lunch dates
Off out in the rain. I'm wondering how many of the NCT ladies will be bringing buggies and whether they'll all fit in Costa!
Kirsti was wearing a very nice one on a Relocation, Relocation I watched yesterday. It certainly flattered her womanly figure but it was fitted, rather than being a shapeless bloke's hoodie.
I have a collection of warm jumpers and thanks to the lovely Pink I got a new one for Christmas
Have a lovely time Pink!
I don;t think I have an over the head hoody...I have a fleece jacket with a hood...
HL can you lift your arm out and up above your shoulder to the side as if signalling to turn left. If not it sounds like you have a deltoid problem.
Mr W sounds like you have a leaf problem.
Beebs sounds like like you have ideas below your station, hoodies indeed
Remember to keep my nuts away from CP
Haven't read back but well done on other stuff
Nicko
Pink soft and comfortable is good.
I shall investigate girl hoodies, Kirstie is a gorgeous woman, although I didn't it last night.
I think you're right, Nicko. I didn't get the leaves cleared out of the cellar light well before winter set in so the drains are nicely clogged with rotting vegetation. I'll get them cleared out at the weekend.
HL - welcome to my world! I have finally managed to do my own bra up this week but it has to be done slowly with very controlled movements I had a front fastening bra for days when I was on my own......asking Smiffy to do my bra up usually means getting dressed can take a long time!
Pink - enjoy your morning....I think Costa is fairly used to yummy mummies
Beebs - I have an over the head Billabong hoodie that has a low v-front, so shows cleavage too
I can't make my mind up about that one, UC, I love the pattern colour but am less keen on the main colour, its also very outside my comfort zone and as I am big again at the moment a bit scary.
Me neurotic, how dare you
You're not going to believe this.
I got up to go to the loo in the middle of the night and walked into a wall, nose first. I know I haven't broken it, but I am developing two gorgeous black eyes and it's all swollen up and going black.
Please tell me there's someone on earth more clumsy than me. PLEASE.
