It is indeed sooz

 

I bet they had an absolute blast and you have a 'best nana in the world ' badge.

 

His friends must think you are wonderful (he will too, but then he always does )

Cinds, you've done the double.  I now how yorkshire pudding AND wallpaper envy

Hey come on round, I'll cook yorkshire pudding and we can sit and eat them next to the wallpaper 

I have a little idea that I want to do for above my table.  It comes from not liking candles on the table, the light off them at eye leve annoys me, but I love candles.  I want to get a large(ISH) piece of driftwood (probs about a metre in length), that I can suspend from the ceiling above the table and then have different coloured glass containers hanging off the driftwood each containing tea lights.

 

What do you think?  Silly or doable? 

I'll be there as soon as I've watched the BB final, which I had to record as I kept falling asleep (it was the three boys being evicted, I mean, who cares?!)

 

I said it before but it needs saying again ... Julian looks better without make up

Rexi I always record evictions and final night now it's on C5, so I can fast forward the bits I don't want.  I hate the 'nominees' pleading in the diary room, and I just cannot bear to watch Brian.  Loved him when he was a housemate, hate him as a host.

Doable

 

Although I would stick to red, black and white lights, otherwise it might look a bit busy

Cinds - I love it  and your photo of the Yorkie puds photo is almost identical to one my sone posted on FB last week - he was so chuffed with himself.

 

 I have some little Morrocan tea glasses and they're in sort of jewel colours (I put tea lights in them) they'd look lovely against that back drop. I got them years ago from Whittards - don't know if they still do them but it might be worth looking.

I know what you're saying, but I think I'll leave the colours until AFTER I find this amazing piece of driftwood.

 

(Any beach dwelling FM's that might find such a lovely piece let me know... I will pay the P&P to get it to me)

Soozy don't get me started on how much I love Moroccan candle holders, in fact the whole Moroccan look.  Our next project is building the garden room on the back of the house (planning permission is now granted).  In my head, I have always envisaged it being Moroccan themed.

I'll get meself down to grimsby docks in the morning - i'll hitch a lift in Mr Woos fish van.

Hey now Soozy, please don't be going selling your wares down the docks just to get me a bit of wood. 

Through streets wide and narrow, I'll wheel my wheelbarrow - singing cockles and mussells alive alive o

 

Thanks for that, I'll be singing that song in my head all night now.

Oh gawd, so will I

 

We went through a phase of gathering driftwood many years ago ... hubby had this vision of making a mirror. Of course, nothing came of it, but the wood is still buried somewhere in the garage.

 

I may have to excavate it and do something creative

Slimming World update - I've lost 1 lb this week. 12 lbs in total. Just found out that flavoured water is 6 sins a small bottle . I've been drinking loads - it's as high in sin value as wine . Guess I'll go back to diet lemonade or plain fizzy water with a splash of low cal juice.

Oooh I didn't know that about flavoured water Sooz I was always drinking loads on Sw too  Should have just drank wine instead

 

Well done on the loss again, only 2lbs to go til you get a silver 7!!  I loved getting those, like a big kid with a reward badge

 

I had lost 4lb from Monday to Friday and then it went a bit tits up at the weekend so this morning's weigh in was 2lb off and that was my goal anyway so I suppose it's fine.  It's just a bit shit to know that if I want it off any quicker I have to give up drinking and nights out with my mate's

Awwwwwww - I've just had an e mail from my baby (daughter aged 29) - she's out in Houston 'networking'. She works as a buyer for an oil company. She was getting ready for a breakfast meeting with the head of the refinery. I'm getting visions of stetsons, JR and all that . She's got four days of meetings and then her friend is flying over to join her for four days holiday.

 

We've told her not to come back until she's bagged herself an oil baron. She's no fan of Dallas so I had to tell her she'd be better off going for Christopher than JR junior 

 

All very exciting for her though.

Will this fab summer of sport ever finish? I've also been watching the tour of Britain on a day behind catch up. It looked great for Wiggins and Cavendish but both ended up on the deck. So much good stuff on the box it 's difficult to fit it all in.

Joe I love Autumn tv, there's always so much good stuff to choose from.

 

Although saying that, we recorded 'The Last Weekend' and watched it all last night. #pileofshite

I watched it all on Sunday Cinds.. I liked it.   Raving nutjobs the lot of them if you ask me (apart from Em)

Yes Kaffy the characters were definitely nutjobs.

 

Talking of nutjobs, I watched a documentary the other day on 'Jonestown' (the community in Guyana where 918 people died in an 'apparent' mass suicide in the late 1970's).  Jim Jones, the leader, now there was a man with a whole lot of crazy going on.

I use the Bethlehem light range.I have the large ans small in antique white ,they are beautiful,the comment I have received have been fab.

Getting beyond a joke now .....................I've put another phone through the washing machine. It's the third one this year (two of mine and one of Mr Woos)

 

It's a good job we don't have the expensive ones 

So um i've finally got into EBay and i've been glued to it! Bought my first item the other day and was really excited to see it was dispatched this morning

hair dryer?

i bought a lovely ukulele for £130.00

its sounds beautiful

sadly im only learning so when i play it, it sounds crap

 

as you were

Not once it's done the full cycle - dropping briefly into a bowl of water is one thing - hot wash/rinse/spin - not a hope in hell

I'm a total e bay addict - it's like Christmas every day at my house.

I posted these comments on the Daily Mail site and got 22 approvals!

 

Q. Why do most Tories constantly rubbish the public sector? A. Because they don't need it! It's a waste of money - for them! They don't need it because they have enough wealth to bypass it completely. It matters not if there's no NHS, state schools or even a much reduced police because they have enough funds to buy those things in privately and still be better off via lower taxes. Not so the rest of us. Class war from those who shape and benefit most from the inequalities of market capitalism. £20,000 for two days a month for so-called 'work' as a 'director', is that really true market value or just easy money for those who make the rules and sponge off the rest of society.

I wrote that partially as a bit of trolling to the DM's right wingers. It's clearly socialist, so I'm somewhat surprised that the comment wasn't crucified.

 

You certainly have a way with words Carnelian - love it 

Excited!!! Mr Woo has rung to say he has got me a lobster for my dinner tonight - yum, yum.

 

Also I've finally got my blinds up in the kitchen HOORAY!

WOOOW WOO WOO Lobster, was it cooked, or did you cook it? And if you did, how did you cook it?

 

Soozy I love lobster, but I have never 'cooked' one.

It was cooked already - delish. If I get a live one I get Mr woo to cook it - not sure what he does with it TBH.

 

My daughter's new kitten. Working title Dave, but now called Bisquit in honour of the two Bisquits we had when my kids were little.

Lovely pic Col 

Isn't it.   I haven't seen him in the flesh yet, but hope to get somehow out of this house and into her's on Tuesday for my granddaughter's 15's birthday.

aWWWWWWW - looks like a cat we had - we called her Winkle.

 

Lovely - hope you all have a great day.
