• Onion T

  

  Onion’s a bit of a local celebrity along Portobello Road and there’s nothing he loves more than having a little poke around. At the ripe old age of eleven years, like most, Onion loves a good feed. If you’re going on a road trip, then he’s your perfect companion in the passenger seat but be warned, don’t scratch his ears or belly. If you’re another dog you’d better stay clear because he’s not a fan. One last thing, never ever ignore him, that’s one way to fast-track into his bad books.

• Tina B

  

  Tina moved to Notting Hill from her parents’ house in the country to begin a new chapter in her life. She’s on the search for her soulmate after splitting from her boyfriend.

Sienna Miller, Nicole Richie, Jennifer Aniston and Katie Holmes are all fans of her shawls, which are stocked in the US, Sweden, Singapore and France, as well as on Ledbury Road. Tina can often be spotted driving around Notting Hill in a distinctive set of wheels, a black cab.

Aww, Rex needed Daddy to get him back on our screens!

They look a bunch of pretentious prats in the main,dunno If I'll watch it.

 What a legend.....

I'm not sure about this - it's not grabbing my interest 

although Onion T looks like the best character 

It's Notting Hill, Katty.  Says it all.

An upmarket Paddington Green (which I liked ).

Anyone watching?

yes...  I am having to watch it!

Hubby grew up in Notting Hill!   I am grrrring at him to shut up...  

I don't care if he went to nursery school on that road... or his Mum's  friend lived over there... etc etc

booooring!

(I am on zero tolerance with him atm...   he is hamming up his man flu & its making me want to clobber him )

You looking out for Rex?

I'm bored out of my brains with it already

So far its not doing anything for me.

Not liking this at all


BTW Ditty, my daughter has stroppy teenager flu Grrrrrrrr

I've given up on it already

Its crap innit! 

Aimee - my boy stumbled into the door and banged his little finger... and then demanded I put the hot/cold pack in the freezer cos it hurt so bad! 

then there is his nibs with the man flu!

All oblivious to how fecking rude & self indulgent they are being considering I have just been to pick up my daughter from school and she is proper poorly on the sofa with Glandular Fever!

Its like they see the sympathy I have been giving her... and they want in on the action!

As you can probably guess...    it hasn't worked...   no sympathy to the male people!

I'm watching...not liking any of the people!

oops, I just made a thread I'm not impressed so far, and most of them are twonks

And I haven't watched it, but it doesn't sound as if I'm missing much judging from the above.

I'm about to do the washing up.... it's really that bad

we don't like either of you!!!!

(that was to the two bints that wore the maids outfits who are pretending to be friends... but obviously aren't really)

Awww Ditty hope your daughter feel's better soon
my daughter turned 16 last week and feel's she's now an adult in it  then get's a cold and she's back to mum i've got the sniffles   guess whose just been and got her the nasal spray and tissues  when will i ever learn  she's been a right bitch to me this weekend as well but we still jump too their needs

Malcolm is q secccsy in a kinda Rod Stewart typa way

Spot on Supes! both are frightfully false...

I dropped mine off at school on the Thurs... she knew I was shitting it about having to have an MRI on the Friday.. ..    did she ask me how it went?  No!  She totally forgot about me!    I reminded her after we had been texting about her state of health for an hour or two on Friday night! 
  Cos we love em innit! 

Mine is going through a nice phase at the moment (probably cos she is ill)..    and here...  harder for us to have a facebook war with each other when she is sitting next to me on the sofa !

That was Ditty........the Laura one, (dark hair, Aldo Zilli's daughter) doesn't seem q as bad as the Samantha one, but both seem somewhat up themselves

So that was it And it's not on for another week

Ditty, I didn't realise it was Fri. Last I saw you were in some ridiculously long waiting list. How did you get on?

just a bit...   any further up themselves & they would be inside out!

Yes I have to agree the dark haired girl comes across as a nicer girl...The blonde one is a straight up class A Bitch, with a wierd twisted mouth...Looks as if someone has either punched her(Not hard to imagine) or she had a ccident with an electric toothbrush.

Load of crap isn't it Super, i don't get the point of it really

dunno yet!  

Cos...   I got to the end of the ridiculously long waiting list & got my date for my surgery (7th Sept)...   then a few days before the 7th the surgeon rings up and says he's decided he'd rather I have an MRI first... so he knows what he's got to do.

So then I had to wait for the MRI...    which I had on Friday.   That went ok..   as much as lying in a very very very very very small tube for half an hour can go...

so.. waiting for the surgeon to look at my MRI scan and decide when I have the op... and whether or not he is still willing to do it as day surgery.

I know I still have to have it sorted...   but it stopped hurting weeks ago (result!!  guess the trapped nerve escaped )

I tend to try to not think about it at all now...   til I get a scary surgery date letter.

Oh.. & I got some special new knickers for the occaision...   they say "Look Geek" on the bum!

Sorry Ditty it won't let me quote


It's so nice isn't it when they go through their nice phase , i think my problem is what i started a thread about a few weeks ago, i need to let go but this weekend her dad (who has nothing too do with her normally) and his family did a BIG party for her 16th (more than i could afford) and when she came home, she made me feel the worst mother ever cause they did this for her, and i didn't


 my friends and family have said, it's you that look after her day to day and when she's i'll not just for her birthday, which is true but it still upset me, she seem's too now have thought about how she spoke to me but it still hit's a nerve

Well I watched about 10 minutes of it, before switching my attention to the laptop, then after about half an hour I switched channel completely. Total and utter crap!

I'd be amazed if anyone watches it next week.

aw... that really really is shitty (of him more than her!)  

I don't have all that with my daughter...  she has no contact with hers.   But I get that all the time from the boy!

  hahaha...  THAT ^^^  is my daughter to a tee!    I can tell when she finally feels bad...  but teenage pride stops her actually coming right out and saying all the right thing.... instead she tries to force things back into normality! 

they sound fab, where are they from?

 
So do you know when you will get the results Ditty?

*coughs* ermmm    

Tesco!

Don't be daft Soops!    They would hate to deprive me of my "waiting around for my life to restart" time! 

But I am thinking it'll be in the next few weeks
