Glenn, you're not bitter. If you'd been bitter, I'd have slurped you down in one gulp on Sunday.
Dinosaurs extinct? Nah, that only happened to the species that discovered smoking and gave up running.
BBB, you said JUST what I wanted to hear. Alcohol! I've been thinking about buying a lake of pudding wine because it's the sort of nice stuff that people don't tend to bother buying for their own consumption. And I once made a vow NEVER to give a present that wasn't consumable/self-destructing unless I knew the donor wanted that specific item. My only alternative idea was some sort of voucher, but I think the kids would rebel at the idea of not taking in a parcel.
V-rap, thank goodness. This place is getting like the darkside at times and it all went very quiet for a while.
Young Bart Filbert is also going to be taking a pressie for the teachers and despite Mrs Filbert being of an educational persuasion, we cannot decide what to get (It doesn't help that I've fallen out with one of them already and he's only in reception class!)
Lay-Zee-Boy wears plastic vegan shoes and won't wear wool. But you don't want to be like him! I have leather sofas in my house to make sure he's not tempted to visit.
Hi all, been popping in and out of the forum all day but couldn't post coz my boss keeps appearing at my shoulder without warning. Anyway, am home now so can type to my little heart's content! Dieting going well - my weigh in day is Thursday so I'll let you know how I get on after tomorrow. Went for a fab run with hubby last night - our usual loop of roughly 4.5 miles. It's got 2 evil long hills in it and when I run with someone else I always seem to manage better than when I'm on my own. Anyway, we did it in 40.45 which is the fastest ever! Hubby even said things like "well done" and "cracking pace". Was chuffed to bits.
Going running with Club 2nite so am hoping for another good run (try to run some flab off before 2morrow's weigh-in).
I have just given my thigh length boots to oxfam as my feet have grown. It's a pain as I have just about got slim enough to wear them again.
The new boots are black fabric and knee length. I wear them with my black short wool work dress or a tartan mini. When I bought them the lady in the shop said they looked sexy. I bought them on the spot :-)
Mrs Filbert's a veggie, but doesn't have a problem preparing meat etc. Bart's too young to have an opinion, but won't generally eat red meat and the littlest cub just drinks her milk like a good'un.
Mrs Filbert's also just pointed out that our Local Education Authority has a ban on alcohol as gifts for teachers. (Yeh right, that's why they named a whisky after them!)
JJ you are making me think I should have bought the knee legnth stretch denim high heeled numbers I saw the other day. Another customer said they looked sexy and he had his wife in tow.....I bought the more practical pair.....think I must have made a mistake....I wonder if they still have them...Mmmmmmm
Oh kee-rap.... I'm late home, I missed everything and I didn't get cake either. Couldn't be bothered waiting for my antique machine to try and load all 100 odd pages, so does someone want to sum up..? ta!
Cath, not sure I follow myself. Good late night snacks. Vegetarians and wool/leather - do they wear them? What are good presents for children to give teachers?
Glenn - not bad... taught stude nurses IT skills until 1pm -- like banging the head against a brick wall at times! The spent the rest of the afternoon 'debating' teaching styles and academic input for said studes ... otherwise known as gassing and consequently missed being able to call at the cake shop near work on the way home - for the cake that I promised myself this morning ) Ho hum...

That enough detail BBB ?
It's nice that you can run with Mr D. Mr J's legs are too long for me to keep up.

laughs here
Brilliant, must go back for another go....
Bush gets some stick, yet again........
how you doin?
Maybe it's because, if parents in your area are anything like patients in mine, the alcohol they give is fit only to use to light the barbecue.
Need to check the situation here before I go up and buy a couple of cases of Sauternes.
