Kaffy I was gutted when they axed dirty sexy money. Brothers and sisters ended last year and typically my sky box crashed for the final episode and only recorded the last 3 minutes! So I've yet to see the final episode.

oh nooo... that would drive me nuts!

I might invest in the box set. I'll tell you what would complete my autumn/winter viewing timetable if some kind channel would start showing Prisoner Cell Block H from beginning to end.

I have to confess to not having seen a single episode of Cell Block H 

Oh my god kaffy you've missed out on the best wobbly setted Australian soap ever! I would love the box set of that but it's an absolute fortune.

In that case I'll join you in wishing for it to be reshown.

I was painting my nails for tomorrow night and opted for red.  Then I got bored and ended up painting ladybugs on 2 of my nails  It's cute but I don't think ladybugs and leopard print will work together.

 

Not Bet Lynch leopard print.....black dress with a leopard print skirt part.  IT'S NICE I TELL YOU!! 

Ells you do make me laugh.

 Sometimes I post way to much random stuff on here.

It's all good, as far as I' m concerned, Ells

The last time Harry went on duty to Afghanistan the press released the info and there was such outrage and anger that the press had put him at risk.Today we are told that he has been deployed  in Afghanistan! what happened to the security risk? or is this a PR excercise because of the naked photos .

 His first job was on the front line as a forward weapons officer. This time (apparently) as a helicopter pilot he is at less risk.

I'm not sure whether PR comes into it as only the scratter journalists seemed bothered about Vegas.

Which makes you think the Vegas jaunt was with the knowledge that he was going to be deployed to Afghanistan.  Blow off some steam before going to the front line and all that.

The director from our 'main' customer rang the office today to speak with Mr C who wasn't in.  He said he wanted to pop in to see him and asked would he be back by a certain time.  The following blonde moment ensued.

 

Me: 'Yes he's just popped out for a haircut so he'll be back by then'

 

Him: 'OK we've been talking earlier about TFR, and I need to see him, so he'll definitely be back?'

 

Me: 'Yes, he'll definitely be back, it's not that big a job these days to cut his hair due to the lack of it, in fact I believe when he goes to the hairdresser now they just blow him'

 

Him: (laughing) 'That's really none of my business'

 

Me: 'Oh christ what did I just say, that wasn't what I meant, oh never mind, I'll see you when you come in'  

 

Needless to say, I got a right ribbing when he came in to see us.

cinds

 

My 18 year old daughter is asking me what I am laughing about

 

What's worse is I can't stop

Rexi I've been chuckling to myself all afternoon over it. 

Remember I told you how much I was gonna miss my little Jack? Well I got to spend the day with him today - the school secretary rang me at 10.30 and asked if I'd pick him up as he'd had a bump to the head.

 

Some horrible little critter had thrown a wooden brick at him and he had an egg shaped lump on his forehead going all bluey/purple.

 

Had a lovely day with him in the garden - the sun was shining - I've got Charley's card marked though 

    you bribed him with a lollipop to lob that brick didn't you?

 

 

Seriously though .............I'm one very protective nan - I'll be giving that kid evils at the school gate. He was a horror at play group but steered clear of Jack as he wont be pushed around (he;s not spiteful but is assertive and wont be bullied his brother is six years older). It's terrible when you take a dislike to kids isn't it?

Sooz we can't help it!!  Some kids are little feckers!!  My youngest's friend has taken to picking on him about his skin (he's got severe eczema) and I'm ready to give him a kick up the hole.

 

Sorry but that's how I am.  Upset my kiddlies and I will act like a kid myself.  Not very mature I know but.....they're my babies.

I'm bored.

 

I've been out and am drunk but no-one else is home yet for me to torture.  I left early to make sure a mate was ok but by the time I got outside the bar she was gone so I checked all the take aways and taxi stands nearby and no sign so went home.  Turns out she went back into the bar.

 

FML there were more sambucca with my name them but I went home early

Probably.

 

Get the chopper out, before getting the chopper out. 

Good to have you back, Blizzie.

Another welcome back for Lillibet! It seems wrong to overload poor Terry Nutkin's thread so I will say this here...... I was suggesting to the Saint that celebrities die everyday and gave a few examples. Sian Busby the novelist died from lung cancer this week (never smurked tabs) at the early age of 51. I've just noticed that she was married to Robert Peston. He is taking a short leave of absence from the Beeb.

Joe South, another of this week's obit features, wrote, I never promised you a rose garden, Hush, and The games people play.

Ooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

 

I've got a headache.

Poor Ells

 

I've been to London today, it was great. We went to Greenwich, walked in the park, then down to the river and the market. Lovely day

That sounds lovely Rexi....was the weather nice?  My mate went to London recently and loved it.  

It was 29 degrees Ells ... We had to sit in the shade for lunch, it was too hot in the sun

 

How's your head now?

Aww bliss Rexi, glad someone is getting some sun!

 

  The hangover is all gone now, thanks for asking  

Well, I've just checked the weather forecast. It's going to rain every day next week

 

Maybe if I try another site ...

I've got four 10 year old boys camping in my back garden in a huuge tent - they've got a TV, X box, DVD player, Monopoly, Chess, Cluedo and Connect 4. A pile of goodies plus all the plush soft garden furniture - my daughter popped in - she said 'camping out wasn't like that when I was young'. I hit back with - my tent was I was young consisted of sheets and towels hitched to the washing line/fence and clothes horse 

 

Oh to be young - what larks 

Morning sooz ... Did they stay out all night?

 

Or did they keep coming in for food, wees and 'I can hear a funny noise out there'!!

Rose Garden is one of my all time favourite songs to have a good old sing song too.  In fact I'm sure I sing snapped it, but I won't post the link and ruin the good memories others might have of that song.

I've made yorkshire puddings today for the first time in my new oven.  They were HUGE!!!

My dear ole Aunt Bessie always makes mine

They were out (and awake) all night - slept in until 11. Good as gold - yo have to make the best of the weather while it's here and camping out is all part of childhood memories isn't it?

I have to admit, I normally let Aunt Bessie provide our Yorkshire puds, but every now and again I feel all homely and do my own.

 

 

Yes   I loved camping out as a kid.  Glad they had a great time.

Oh yeah and just to throw another picture in, this is the dining end of my new kitchen.  I've just bought a bench to match the table and some antique red leather chairs (but you can't see the chairs until they have been refurbished).
