I just typed a massive reply and when pressed post the bloody iPad did something odd and deleted it.  I will type it again tomorrow when I have a proper keyboard.

*waits with anticipation

I made a scrummy curry this afternoon, using fresh chilies.

I'm just put my finger in my eye ... I'm dancing a bit!!

Ouch  

Man goes to the doctors..

man..doctor I keep feeling like Tom Jones..

doctor..Its not unusual..

Ooooh you have my sympathy, been there before.

Seen on the side of a local Asian builders van....

You've tried the Cowboys now try the Indians 

Love it moon man

Knackering but lovely weekend. Daughters 30th birthday party - all the family and friends up from various parts of the country. I danced at a do for the first time since giving up the vino (first on the dance floor and last off).

A whole new way of life .......the stories I've had to tell the drunken bunch this morning  Daughter can't understand why she's covered in bruises (might have something to do with being dropped by her drunken brother lifting her to 'I've Had The Time of my Life'. It's pretty scary being sober TBH.

We arrived back at my house (about 15 very 'boisterous 30 year olds in tow) - next  door was having a party as the boy was 18 this week - they're a lovely family but very devout Catholics - he was allowed four friends all the rest were from the church.

My son and daughter were insistent that they knocked to wish Chris a Happy Birthday at 1.15 am. They were trying to drag him out clubbing with them. He declined (I know reluctantly). I've told them that they'll be the subject of the sermon next week. Chris will be congratulated for resisting temptation (get thee behind me Satan) from the harlot and the gay next door 

Brilliant weekend though

Hahahahaha sooz - sounds brilliant!!

Lmao, Soozy sounds like a fab night, shame Chris didn't go with them.... Bet he would have had a blast Did you use the BnB in the end?

No my sis and her family stayed at a nearby hotel with a schoolfriend of mine (Georgies godmother) - my friend and sis had a coffee together in the bar before retiring to bed. My friend said she was walking up stairs chatting away she looked round and my sis was no longer there ...........she'd fallen down the stairs 

Such funny stories ..........so different when you're sober - you remember it all. my sons partner is mortified - he was hysterical - I'm laughing now - he got all indignant telling me that earlier in the day he'd been helping me butter rolls and I'd got my Les Mis soundtrack on and 'you know the only track i like is On My Own and you talked all the way through it'

All very tearful and lots of I love you all so much etc. etc. and 'you don't care - you're not drinking with us' - I was howling - I said 'I do care and what's more I'll remember this in the morning and you won't'.

So funny - I could go on but it doesn't translate well. Bloody brilliant though.

Police officers  jokingly filled in a witness statement in the name of a force dog following a  CPS mix-up.
The Crown Prosecution Service asked for an account of a crime  from PC Peach - not realising Peach was the name of a police dog.

Police dog witness statement.

The dog's statement  read: "I chase him. I bite him. Bad man. He tasty. Good boy. Good boy  Peach."
The form was signed with a paw print and pinned up at a West  Midlands Police station last week. A photograph of the note then found its way  on to Facebook.
However, the CPS has since complained over the incident,  taking issue with the fact that its mistake has become a public  joke.
West Midlands Police's Professional Standards Department has spoken  to the officer who shared the picture - PC Mark Tissington - but he is unlikely  to be reprimanded.
Ian Edwards, chairman of the West Midlands branch of  the Police Federation, said: "It's a difficult time for police and sometimes  humour is a way of venting frustrations. I would urge our PSD to be even-handed  in the way they deal with it."

The CPS must have a sense of humour bypass. I think it's very funny.

I saw that on Twitter yesterday and thought it was very funny.  If the CPS don't like being made a public joke then maybe they should employ more efficient fact checkers.

Slimming World update ........lost 2 pounds this week!!!

The dancing at the weekend paid off

Well done Soozy. 

Have any of you ever seen this website? 

http://www.zulily.co.uk/

I love it, have just ordered some of these for the new grandbabies.

Thats great news   

I've bought this sort of thing as Christmas pressies in the past - they were a massive hit I love them

Soozy that website has loads of gorgeous little outfits on it, especially if you're buying for little girls. We know one of our new grandbabies is a boy, so I'm secretly keeping my fingers crossed that number 3 is a girl.  

I'd love a little girlie .........I adore my boys but I love all the frilliness of girls. Funnily enough I didn't go OTT with my girlie - she makes up for it now though - she's a 30 year old princess in glitter and pink.

By the moon as I sit to seek your glory
The white roses I see create a new story
Season are many, their reasons few
What remains is I will always love you!

Awww 

I suppose when they're yours you look for things that are more practical but when buying for someone elses you can just go to town on sparkly.

True ....................but it's a bit unfortunate when they feel you've let them down. My son tries to make up for a lack of 'glittery' childhood too 

My boy loved the glittery sparkles when he was younger, now he is disgusted that I let him.

WOW!!

It's no secret that he has struggled to keep  off the pounds in recent years.

But it seems as though Boy George's New Year  resolution was to drop the excess weight as he showcased his slimmed down frame  at the 2013 WhatsOnStage.com Awards.

Pictured arriving on the red carpet at Palace  Theatre in London on Sunday evening, the 51-year-old was almost  unrecognisable.

Half the man he used to be: Boy George has struggled  with his weight in recent years

Turning back the years, Boy George, real name  George Alan O'Dowd, barely filled out his suit, which he clearly purchased in  his heavier days.

Wearing a beige baker boy hat which was  decorated with buttons and wool string, George added the usual touch of glamour  to his appearance with a coating of make-up.

But choosing to do something a bit out of the  ordinary, the singer highlighted his chiseled cheekbones with the help of his  stubbly beard.

'Rock n roll Sunday!!': The 51-year-old uploaded an  image to Twitter of his completed look

Throwing up the peace sign: The former Culture Club star  appeared to be wearing a suit from his heavier days

He's still got his standout style: The chart-topper wore  a beige baker boy hat as he covered his face in make-up

Respect.

Hi erin - nice day 

 No complaints Velvet

I do hope the change in the weather is here to stay.

Boy George looks amazing. I follow him on twitter and he has been following a raw food diet for a while as he keeps tweeting pfood of the food he is eating. 

he looks great and years yonger.

Doesn't he just.

just saw the strange typo my stupid iPad did in my last post.  I sewerage (swear) that's another one it did, this thing has a mind of its own.

It really does, in fact when I'm using this I might start leaving them in. 

Today I text Mr C from this and it changed 'give them a hug from me x' to 'give them a hug from Mexico'

Sounds like *predictive text*

Oh God, my mate just posts the sentences 'as is'.  Which usually means having to decipher everything she says.

ION....I've just had a subway for the first time in ages.  It was delightful.  I've also got a wee salad box for later to stop me from eating crap.  I'm actually looking forward to the salad!

So here it is, the very, not that interesting story.

So Mr C & I had gone to Red Mezze with another couple for a meal.  I had, when ordering been very specific about 'please no coriander'.  The restaurant was very busy, so over 1 hour after they had cleared our starters, the main course came, mine being smothered in coriander.  I said nothing at the time, mainly because they were so busy, and to wait again wasn't worth it, as I wouldn't expect my dining companions to wait, and I didn't want to eat my main when they were having coffee. But it didn't matter as the food I didn't eat was eaten by the others at the table.

Anyway, so at the end of the meal, after we had paid, the manager/owner came over and asked had we enjoyed our meal.  Me being me, said it had been nice apart from the coriander.  He apologised and mentioned them being really busy, which I accepted.  

Well, 5 minutes later the gents in our dining party went to the loo, and at that point the manager/owner came tearing back to our table telling me I was being unreasonable as I had finished all of the food on my plate.  The other lady sat at the table, said to him 'actually we ate it she didn't'.  So then he changed it to 'she didn't ask for no coriander'.  I then asked the waitress over who had served us and said'did I ask for no coriander', she agreed I had (even better the friggin bill which is the order took by the waitress and electronic, states no coriander).

So then the mental man tried to change it to, "it was parsley and not coriander".

I cannot take shit like that, so I then said my piece, he then accused me of being drunk, the rest of our party, plus the waitress pointed out to him that I had drank nothing more than water the whole night. 

I told you it was a big post.
