I'm looking for an excuse to skip a wedding reception I am supposed to go to tomorrow night. Can I borrow your tooth Loon or should I start to conjure a migraine?
Hmmm, might have gone a bit off by this time. I'll go for the migraine option I think. Or I might just go for a couple of hours and sneak away. I don't really know the girl (she works for me but not at the site I'm usually at) and lawd only knows why I'm invited.
TP, depending on how good an excuse you need and the finances as it would be last minute, Hash Hall Hotel is available, as is a taxi service from whichever nearish station you can get to. If it's Gatwick then Luton's easy, if Stansted then no problem
Thank you for the offer Hash but it's not somebody I'm that fussed about and I can just not turn up if I want to.
Finances are definitely an issue this month - having replace the washer/dryer and taken my mum to Edinburgh already. I've had to say no to Little T's hen night already
I'm fine thanks JH. Loon has had her troublesome tooth out but has another infection in it. It was her birthday yesterday .... you missed the ice cream & jelly and cake! ST is still on holdiay. Hash is around somewhere and can answer for herself!
Today in the real world is being very frustrating and I'm just one notch short of loosing my temper. Somebody isn't playing fair but has me backed into a corner legally. I just have to smile and give in .... and plan how I'm getting my own back when the opportunity arises..... which it will no doubt.
I think a pint of Bitter and Twisted would be an appropriate lunchtime tipple for me today.

Have donated Womble. It was worth it for the 'learning to swim' updates. I don't do water either and the only way I could put my head in is if you tied a brick round my neck .... not that I think anyone should though many would like to.
Thank you most kindly Ms TP As you spotted, the s**m bit is going to be the challenging part...... I've ordered some pirate armbands which I hope will arrive in time for me to use. That and the float in the seat of my wetsuit!
Somehow the fact that I'd never done further than 16 miles before my first marathon doesn't seem as important as not having swum the full distance in one go before my first attempt at 750 metres.
It's not deep, so you don't have to s**m or any such nonsense. Just have a nice little splish about to get yourself into the mood.
<stations hunky lifeguard with assorted buoyancy aids within paw range>
Now here's me fretting that I will only have done 20 (next week fingers crossed) before my first marathon but everyone seems to think that this is fine and that you don't have to have done a 26 mile training plod (the word r*n is too strong for what I do).

A restorative potion pliss.
<pours restorative beer with extra bouncy bits for knackered JB>
What have you been up to to get yourself in this state?
Erm I decided to try a Boot Camp class at the gym tonight, followed by an 8k plod.
So now I am achin all over and eating like the 700lb man.
Trying to avoid the call of the 3 bottles of red in the kitchen.
But the voices....
They're in my head.....
They say.......you must
Ooooh boot camp. I love shoes. What did you get?
<pictures JB in the high heeled blue suede boots I fell in love with the other day>
Sometimes you just need to listen to the voices JB, they can't be wrong all the time can they?
evening JB
and good night all

Haven't been around much lately , how is everyone.
I'm fine thanks JH. Loon has had her troublesome tooth out but has another infection in it. It was her birthday yesterday .... you missed the ice cream & jelly and cake! ST is still on holdiay. Hash is around somewhere and can answer for herself!
How's you?
<slaps UH several times>
That's just plain silly. Heaven knows where that will lead.
Switzerland via Berlin , Dublin , Paris and London Mara hopefully
<Ducks swiftly before slapping commences>
Oh dear, I fear you are beyond redemption and the Dark Side has claimed you for good.
Slapping''s too good for the likes of you.
afternoon all

Hope the tooth is feeling better, Loon
Afternoon girls.

Good luck and hope your fur doesn't get too soggy

Am I allowed a drink today? Steady my nerves?
