Welcome to the blog Tash. We bloggers arent a bad bunch, honestly!

May I offer my sincere congratulations to you on the birth of baby Noah.
A job well done I think!

As a relatively "new" grandfather I hope that he gives you as much pleasure as we are getting from baby Ava Grace.
Having gone through what you are now experiencing, albeit years ago, your addition and the associated stories bring back many memories and the joy in Chris' broadcasts shines through

Best wishes and thank you for letting us share your happiness

Tash: what a wonderful blog, just really wonderful.

I am sitting here with tears in my eyes - what a nutter!

Beautiful photo of Noah - he is a wee treasure.

And, yes, you really are the luckiest girl in the world - and I am happy for you!

Well done for getting out of the house yesterday .... how on earth did you manage it?!

Love, Chrissie xx

What a lovely blog. Nearly brought a tear to my eye, a fully grown 30 yr old man!

Congratulations and good luck to all 3 of you (I havent been on here for weeks so the 1st time I have said it)

Oh Tash how lovely of you to take time out for us, thank you xx

I have to say the both of you sound blissfully happy and I couldn't wish for it to happen to a nicer couple xx

A HUGE thank you for another pic of the absolutely gorgeous Noah - I was so envious of hearing Sally and Foxy talk of their cuddles with him last night.

Remember to take care of you xx

Hope we get the pleasure of your company again soon.

Give your gorgeous son, hubby and doggy a big hug from us.

Mary xx

Thankyou for your kind words we all write on this blog cause we all think that you are all worth it and Chris is so open with his comments on here and he is such a lucky boy to have someone a good as you i hope you get back on the road to recovery soon and no doubt he will be chasing you around to add to Noah and to make your life even more complete

p.s Thankyou for taking the time to write on the blog and please dont leave it to long before you make another guest apperance on the blog

We knew it was you making the effort all along Tash - he's just the PR man!

Well done for producing such a handsome little chap and can we have some pics of you and baby please, we see enough of CLP.

I'm sure the Blog would like to put you forward for a Sony, a BAFTA and an Oscar for making a whole lotta people happy over the last few months. I think we've had an insight into what you describe above between 5 and 7 most days.

Any plans for the girl to follow????

Cheery from the wet far north of Scotia where we hope Drivetime will perhaps do a mobile show from in 2009?

Hello Mrs CLP!

Thank you for posting and most of all thanks for letting us see another picture of Noah. He looks so big already!

So lovely to hear how happy you all are.

Debbie x x x

PS: Now wouldn't it be cool if CLP blogged today and commented on Mrs CLP's first blog :-)

Yay you! It takes a lot I would think to allow us to see all the special moments in your life! Thank you for sharing and huge congratulations - it sounds like you're all having a fab time and I, along with everyone else I would imagine, am really pleased for you all!

xx

How nice to hear from Mrs E, and a lovely piccie too!


I Posted the following on yesterdays, seconds before the new blog appeared, so if you've seen it twice sorry.


GOOD LUCK TIGGS

Nicki

Welcome Tash

What a great Blog, brought a tear to my eye as well. You truly are blessed and the luckiest girl in the world. Your joy knows no bounds and a big high five to that.

Keep on blogging, may be you can sneak one in every now and again to give us your perspective on life in the Evans household.

Big love to you all.

Good afternoon Tash, and of course CLP and Noah,

hope you are all doing ok today

so good to hear your story, thank you for being willing to share with the blog family!! it is much appreciated!

i have just shared with my daughter Rosie, the story that CLP shared on the blog yesterday, she can't believe she got a mention, she is a chuffed girl, but not as chuffed as her Dad!!!

the blog is great and fun to catch up with everyone! have a great friday and see you all at 5.05, we now off to Southend!!

mjg

p.s arf - Rosie - Argent (cracking song!!)

Hiya Tash!!!! How lovely to hear from you! I don't think you sound like you're gloating at all, you just sound like you're really happy and are really thankful for everything you have!

All I can say is lucky you, lucky Chris, lucky Noah, lucky Beth - what a lovely family.

Oh and lucky bloggers, because all us cyber uncles and aunties get to share a little bit of it with you. Your joy is catching - thank you.

Hi Mrs CLP

Great to hear from you! Thank you for your blog.

Although I've been a regular reader, I have never contributed. I have been trying to get registered to post a comment for a couple of weeks. It has taken the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ ages to confirm my details!

The sole purpose of this mission has been to say congratulations to you, once your new arrival came. I'm over a week late, so belated good wishes, and welcome to Noah. He is just so gorgeous!

I think that Mr CLP should let you have the first choice of record on 'All Request Friday'.

Lots of love,

Ali C

Hi Tash

It's your first blog today and mine too!! I've been reading all about your gorgeous baby Noah with my daughter who is 11. We were both waiting with great excitement to hear that Noah had arrived safely and when Chris played "Wonderful World" as his first track as a new Daddy we were thrilled as this is Olivia's song (she had it played at her Naming Ceremony!).
It's so wonderful that you're sharing this special time with us and it's lovely to have some good news amidst all the doom and gloom! We wish you all lots of fun and wonderful moments together. You have a wonderful husband and a gorgeous son- don't feel bad about enjoying them both!

Love and congratulations

T & Oli

Tash,

Thank you so much for the blog. It's great to hear about your perfect family. You both spread so much happiness through this blog and we are all grateful for that.

X Gail.

Well hallo, and welcome to Wonderland, Mrs CLP!

While he's out tinkering, you're in with the tinker...and I'm glad to see that your computer desk is as messy as mine in the Sett!

Anyhoo, thank you for saying thank you. We wouldn't have said what we're all saying if we didn't mean it! Lovely to hear from you, and you certainly seem like the luckiest girl in the world...we only ever get what we deserve in this life!

Congratulations, and thank you so much for sharing *all* of your experiences with us...hope you're feeling a little less, ahem, delicate now!

love to you
love to Noah
love to Beth
love to Christophe

PS. Booboo has just reprimanded me for not making a fuss of Beth... and she's quite right too... so here is a big scratch behind the ears for the faithful loyal Beth who will always have a special place in your hearts xxx

Hiya

Great to hear from you Tash. We hear so much ABOUT you, so this is nice, straight from the girl on the sofa's mouth!

You are indeed blessed and long may it be so. It makes me want to blub just reading the love on these pages and Chris is like our little angel who keeps us all smiling.

Haven't posted for ages and I've had to re register cos I'd lost my old info so hello to everyone. I used to be Jonahwood but it's YEARS since I've put anything on here.

Take care Tash, Noah, Chris and Beth, plus everyone else who's reading this.

Cheers

...also AliC247...good call...but the first record always comes from the blog...so, Mrs CLP, get your thinking cap on, and get your request for the fabulous All Request Friday down!

I can't think of a song for ARF today anyway so I won't bother!

Hi Tash,

What a lovely blog and thank you for another photo of Noah. As said by others it would be great to see one of you and Noah, you're little family is making so many people happy.

I remember seeing you and Chris at The M in the garden before you were married and you looked so happy then and now you all make such a lovely family unit. As you say its everything you've always wanted and that's how it comes across - both of you blissfully happy.

Love to you, Chris, Noah & Beth

Hey - Mrs CLP,

Great blog!

Isn't amazing how life twists and turns. It is very exciting wondering what life has in store for us!!

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful family with us, I feel like I am one of Noah's Aunties.

ARF: Louis Armstrong 'What a Wonderful World' please.

Love Cathmel x x x

Welcome Tash and how lovely it is to hear from tyou.

We ahve all enjoyed hearing about you especially with little Noah's birth. IN fact i think its safe to say that for most of us, we can't get enough right now.

God bless and joy to you all.

Happy Friday

Love

Hey - has JV been on my FB page!?!?

Maybe he's not so bad after all!!

;-)

x x x x

sorry your family not you're family -its been a long week!

Great post, isn't it amazing how happy you can be without sleep!! Hope you all keep enjoying new family life. I think nearly every new mum feels like the luckiest woman alive so its not gloating.

Show opener should be "precious little angel" by Annie Lennox as it sums up new parentdome, and I remember hearing it about 3 weeks after my first was born and it all made sense.

Welcome Tash.

Thank you for sharing so much with us!

What a lovely blog - joy and happiness oozing through with every word.

Love to all of 4 of you.

xxxx

Dear Mrs CLP

Lovely to get to meet you directly, as it were.

Can't really add anything to what's already been said. I do think you are one of the luckiest people around (and not at all gloaty) and am so very delighted for you. What a major life shift in such a short space of time, it's lovely. It's great to hear that what's around the corner can be wonderful and uplifting.

Lang may your lum reek,
jx

Than you for sharing Mrs CLP - I feel part of a really big extended family.

Glad to hear all is well in Evansland!

Love

Greetings Ter Tash.......

Bingo Star ere......

Just read yer blog.... whatta nice and warming piece of..... of...... of... errrrr..... of blog commentation......

It really shows dreams do come true, noot just for D-Ream when Labour chose their song ter be their song....... but labour really can 'appen without being tarnished with politics and bring a beautiful child ter the world.... aka baby Noah aka ickle pickle !!!!!!!

I don't know if am wrong or wreeet but i'll wreet this anyway.... Did yersen and The CLP meet at the celebrity golf tournament meet at Celtic Manor aka Wales aka Newport area???????
A seem ter ave 'eard or read that.... 'cos if so.... 'WHATTA COINCIDENCE'.... as waz really wanting ter go ter that.... a remember a don't often go suddenly ter events but a 'eard about it and but this one a toyed about going but as i'd been working 15 'our dees az a trucker a waz just too knackered ter go!! Aka do the 3 and a 'alf 'our drive from Liverpool ter The Celtic (the one in Wales noot Scotland).

A waz so annoyed that weekend.... felt like a waz missing out on something... and something BIG!!!!
So many interesting celebs there... CLP, Monty, The Dallas Dude, The Loaf Wroca, The Cooper Wroca, The Walsh on the course.... and of course golf a BIG 'obby of mine.... man a should ave gone!!!!!!!!!
A watched it on tv.... and the only thought that stopped me getting too annoyed at misisng out was....' oh well there will be another next year'... but there 'asn't.... DAMN IT..... it wazza one off!!!!!!!

But 'ow ironic if you and CLP really did meet there..... and now ere we all talkin' babies and errrr.... 'usband/ wife 'appenings!!!!!!!!!!!

All a can say is a wish you both the best and 'ope you both are tergether... forever!!!!!! (could be a song in there).
A really 'ope you are each other's soulmates!!!!!!

Remember the Bingo Star Relationship Counselling Advice.... Talk ter each other... talk all the time..... so misunderstandings don't develop.... but if one says yer talking to much.... then don't talk... for a while!!!!
'ave patience with each other.... care for each other... we all ave our faults but ave thought for each other.... be underdstanding for each other's needs... we all ave our bad days or moods.... but realise it's noot personal.... (in the words of The Guns N' Roses... November Rain 'we all need time alone.... sometimes') And never stop loving each other... suprising each other.... saying you love each other..... and remember 'ow lonely life can be without a loved one... remember RIGHT NOW 'ow lucky you both are.... NEVER take each other for granted!!!!!!!
I think these are the secrets to a 'appy and successful everlasting relationship/ marriage!!!!!!!!

As for the CLP moment with 'is cars... that's a bloke fault.... been there done it.... used ter polish the brake dust of me Lotus's wheels in me garage everytime i'd taken it out for a razz!!!!!!
Or sometimes just open the garage door and look at it and admire it....sad but it's what keeps petrol 'eads 'appy!!!!!!!
(ave ter e-mail yer a photo of it soon CLP... it wazza beauty... silver... spoke wheels... US spec exhaust... a V8 twin turbo growler!!!!! Soz Tash.. am boring you now.. bloke talk... mind you a might be boring CLP!!!)


ALL THE BEST TER CLP, TASH AND NOW NOAH TOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Or in russian errr 'Schast'ya i zdorov'ya errr Uspekhov.... errrrrrrr Zhelayu vsego khoroshego!!!!!!!!!!!'

PS Tash 'as CLP goot yer writing 'is blogs 'cos The Dad.... is too knackered already looking after Noah??????
(Only joking me sense of 'umour again)

GOURANGA Ter Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmmmmmmmmm #33 best a could get!!!!!!

A great first time blog Natasha, a dashed Tip Top effort in fact.

JTT.

Lookin at it.... it iz a bit long.... oh well!!!!!

Mrs CLP

Lovely to hear from you - it doesn't sound like gloating its' good to hear from a 'celeb' who appreciates how lucky they are.

Although I am very busy today just spent some time going back that first mention to reread it. I bet you never dreamt you would be where you are now.

Diddy

Hello Mrs E!!

good to hear from you!!

We have all been delighted to hear the news - from the scan pics right up to last week - and of course since then as well!! your husband is clearly besotted with both you and Noah - exactly as it should be!!

I always think the stage my kids are at is the best one so far - until the next bit comes along!! So enjoy every minute - there won't be many dull ones, that's for sure!!

come back and see us soon!

Hi everyone. This is the first time "spoken" on the Blog, but I've been reading the wonderful comments over the past couple of weeks and this really is a joyous place to be!
Great to here from you Tash. Everything sounds so good for you, Noah, CLP and of course Beth. Long may the happy times continue - it reminds us all that it really can be a truely Wonderful World!!!
Love to you all

B-G xxx

Yay Tash,

Yet another blog leaving me in tears of happiness! As has been said on here, the happiness can be felt through your words and it's wonderful!

And well done for getting out the house and into London - it took us 19 days to venture out with the boy, took us moretime to get organised and out than we were actually out for!! Still like moving a small army, it's gone from nappies etc to food tho.......ickle boys could eat all day!

Talking of small army - off to pack the car to go to my mum's - pile of stuff is aready growing.....

Come back soon Tash

...have just thought, the pic that was of the 'Girl on the Sofa'...I seem to remember that someone said it looked like a photo of a sea slug...how wrong they were eh...

Bingo, I love your fillosoffy of life...you get a big bingo bop for that one. bless your soppy heart!

Tash - I think we all feel like we already know you thanks to your lovely hubby sharing with us your daily life! And your words have made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (mind you, that could be the newly acquired head cold plus the two Lemsips I've had today - other cold remedies are available)!

You don't sound at all like you're gloating. On the contrary - it's lovely to hear that you have what you've always wanted. Some people can search their whole lives and never get so much as a whiff, so good on you - as Hazel says, you only get what you deserve in life.

Lovely pic of Noah btw xx

I'm with Cathmel for ARF and would request Louis Armstrong and 'Wonderful World' - s'my favouritest song ever! Pleeeeese Tash - you get to choose I think! xx

Anyway, thank you again for sharing Mr E, Noah and Beth with us and now we know that you know how happy we all are for you!

Hi Natasha and hi to all bloggers. I haven't been on for well over a year as I changed jobs and they're a bit strict about this sort of thing but I'm a persistant lurker.

I just felt like I had to come back on board and say my bit. The thing about Chris is that he finishes the day off nicely. He's so positive always puts a smile on my face and makes me feel like I'm part of this big listerners family.

It's been especially wonderful to have felt involved with your family and being kept up to date with beautiful Noah. I'm 34 weeks pregnant and have been in "OMG i'm going to be a Mum panic mode" but reading Chris' blog is making me so excited to meet my baby and get on with parenthood. You are so lucky to be gaining an insight into the mind of of your hubby. So lucky that can express his thoughts so eloquently.

Your family is truly blessed and I am truly hormonal and should stop this now before I cry.

Aw, Mrs CLP, wonderful blog, the love just radiates from both of you for each other. Beautiful!

The picture of Noah is just so, so cute - thank you for that!

I had tears in my eyes as I was reading your missive - so nice that you found your guy and he makes your life complete - mine does that for me too!

And now, with your ickle pickle Noah and the loyal Beth, you really are a special family unit. You have every right to feel like the luckiest lady alive.

No need for thanks, Chris and you have both touched our hearts and minds and so our good wishes, advice etc.. come easily to hand.

Thank you for sharing and taking the time to write the blog and share another picture of Noah too - you must be shattered after your trip out yesterday, and another sleepless night.

May God bless you and smile on you all - the incredibly happy and fulfilled Evans family!

Love A x

Tash lovely to see your blog, hope you come back soon.

Lovely picture of Noah, you are all in the lovely place at the moment. It is fantastic to hear you and chris exuding the delights of the family.

Tash keep on nurturing
Chris keep on tinkkering
Noah keep on growing
Beth keep on doggying

love the brady bunch x

Well, I can see why Chris snapped you up!!! Truly a delight to "hear" your voice on the blog.
Your son is a beauty and I wish you all a long long lifetime of happiness together.
don't be a stranger to the blog!
PS make sure you take care of you as well --you have had a very busy time over the past year

Just had a thought for ARF

I can't stop loving you--by Ray Charles--its a real -straight to the heart song and so appropriate

hazel - of course I did even sent a pic of me and gift with it!!!! Your granny can carry on with her silk one for now!!!!

Hello Tash,lovely to hear from you, great blog,so happy for all of you ,Noah is such a beautiful boy, Ive so enjoyed hearing all about him and you.Best wishes and lots of love to the three of you.x

Hi Tash,
Lovely to hear from you, and what a smashing pic of youg Noah. Chris took me back years yesterday, when he talked of Noah being swaddled. My Mother who had been a midwife, taught me that a baby who was swaddled was a very contented baby. My 3 babies who are now in their early forties, certaintly were.
Bingo I had tears in my eyes after reading your blog.
Love Tash to you all including Beth.

Noah is an absolute smasher, enjoy every minute

What does CLP mean?! Sorry I'm a newbie!

1ubytuesday...Christophe Lambie Pie

Welcome!

Bingo you big softee...but well said (the bits I could understand anyway ;-) )

Hello Natasha,
...and welcome aboard (to continue the original ship related analogy). Also hello to you Chris, who I am sure on this day more than any other, will be lurking.

It is fantastic to hear from you Natasha - from what you say, it is clear that you are each other's raison d'être....and that's pretty much bang on the button of the way it should be. Congratulations on bringing the gorgeous Noah into the world.

I've been reading Chris' blogs with even more interest of late as my own lovely lady has recently had her (our?) first scan.....and I'm sure you'll agree what a completely gobsmacking moment it is to see something so small fervently bopping and jumping around in its own growing space. Your and Chris' experiences mean SO much more to me personally now I've realised we're only 6 months behind you. Gulp!

Keep the top tips coming!....I (if not my lady) will certainly need them!

Lovely to hear from you Natasha and blimmin' well done on catching Chris' Anchor.....and making him glad he dropped it.

Loads of Friday Love

Sorry....
seems to be a font related problem there...

....it should read raison d'etre

SNS

hazel_love thanks for that - ok here's my second question - why Lambie Pie? I have started reading Chris's blog for, well since Noah was born. I am now hooked, although I never used to read the comments, until I left my 1st one for Tash last night. So, how do you keep up with all the comments and stuff?

I started at the beginning, although this website isn't user friendly to peeps who want to read the whole story from the beginning (Chris...book?!) ....but maybe I've missed the Chris Lambie Pie blog post?! Argh...and I have a full time job...keeping up with this blog is a full time job too!

...and Christophe, if you're out there...what fabulous choices you're getting for the ARF!!! You should put them all on an album - to commemorate the birth of Noah - and donate the proceeds to CHASE...

Just a thought.

AS66, Dusty, sublime!

...and lostAlibaba #60...he gets you like that sometimes, doesn't he!

I'd buy it...even though you've never played one of mine

Gawd!

I'm quite literally racking my brainbox to come up with a ground-breaking Q for U2 next Friday. Been a fan since the Boy/October days but can't think of anything with that ZAP factor!

Will keep on it!

as a new blogger i have been hooked on the day to day updates, i wish you all my very best wishes & i will keep logging in for all the news. tash your blog was amazing as is Noah he is such a cutie

I think he's just always been Christophe Lambie Pie...way, way before the advent of blog land...I'm sure there is a reason...but I know not wot...

...and with regard to keeping up...you just do! Woe betide you get far too busy at work or go on holiday...catching up is a nightmare...and then you miss out on some cracking stuff...but it's the chance you have to take!

I'll be mia on Monday and Tuesday...unpacking in the new Sett mainly! Then on Weds I'm in about a gazillion meetings...so that's three days down.

just have to try not to feel too bereft

On that note akshully, thank you *ALL* for your good wishes re the move...you're all so blimmin lovely, you make me cry...along with Chris, Tash and Noah, I'm a snivelling heap lately!

Hi Tash

Great to here from you at last and congrats on the birth of your beautiful baby boy, Noah. Well done also on getting your bundle of joy out on his first journey with mum. I have a 4 month old baby girl and know how difficult it is to get everything packed up and into the car - trust me it gets easier. It is amazing how quickly babies go to sleep when they get into the car. They just love the motion..

Now I know you are breast feeding right now, but my advise to you is to get away in the next few months for a break maybe for an overnight stay somewhere - leaving baby Noah in the safe hands of his daddy. Just before Christmas my husband surprised me with a weekend trip to USA to see my sister (without our baby Holly). I was delighted for the break but terrified of leaving her at the same time. Turns out my husband and baby had the best time ever as he got to spend 24/7 on his own with her. He was also so understanding of how hard a job it is to looking after a baby all day on your own. When I got home he was an expert in bathing, feeding and clothing her. So Chris, if you are reading this, maybe you could treat Tash to an overnight stay in a luxury spa as it definitely recharges the batteries! She will come home well slept, refreshed and hungry for love....

I am so delighted for your happiness and why shouldn't you gloat ... Take care.

Olwen x

Afternoon one and all

Tash lovely baby.


I'm afraid Hazel I have long been sort by the men in black. Not much time to blog on Mr Chris's Blog as I now have my own and gosh it's all so busy.

Take care All

#68 1uby - best thing is that it doesn't matter if you can't keep up cos the blog just meanders every day anyway, so if you miss a few days you just join in again when you can!!

I think a lot of us worked full time when we first joined - now we blog full time and just work when someone's watching ha ha!!

T xxx

Tash... welcome to the blog...

... just wiping a little tear away!

for what it's worth i think all three of you are very lucky, and we are all privilleged to share all this wonderful happiness with you... thanks for that...

love

Hi to you all - lovely to read the blog from Tash - so very happy for you all - Chris makes a long drive home enjoyable - sounds like your house is now as mad as ours. Love to you all

PS - can you do weird things to use your microwave for - when you have done the fridge thing !!!

Welcome Tash, and well done! Good blog! You reminded me of many years go when I was a young mum. Now with children all grown up and grandchildren coming along, it's wonderful again.

Be happy.

JDB x

so lovely to hear from you tash-and well done on the arrival of darling noah-he's my adopted grandson you know! i have 2 of the most wonderful son's you could ask for-ages 30 and 26 and even at their tender ages i still worry about them so youve still years of worry ahead of you ha! ha! but it's all worth it. i also have a darling daughter who is 23, married and has given her dad and me 2 sweetheart grandsons-who i love more than life itself!! you and chris may be blessed with a daughter one day but when it comes to letting them go-boy is it hard-boys will always love their mums but the love girls have for their daddys will go on forever-even when they are married and living away from the family.love and kisses to noah xxxx

congratulations to you all - just seen pic of Noah in his snow suit, my gorgeous boy Paddy had the same one - I loved it so much and am still squeezing him into his big boys version now he is 20 moths old, the joke in our house is he will still be wearing hats with ears when he is 16 and leaving school cos mummy thinks he can still get away with it because he is so cute. Make the most of every single day - we waited 10 years for our angel and I don't let a day pass without counting our blessings and not wishing any stage away. I panicked as he was growing up but I have to tell you it gets better and better. Enough from me, my first time on any blog and and could ramble on for ever!!

Babypaddysmum - WELCOME!!

Love the thought of you sending Paddy into a snow suit with ears when he's 16 ha ha ha!!!

T xxx

That's squeezing, not sending d'oh!

Along with all the other bloggers i would like to welcome you too.
Weird isn't it how men always think it is them doing all the running and making all the decisions/commitments? If it wasn't for the womenfolk putting the ideas into their heads in the first place! Well Tash you know the rest and i am sure it is a familiar story to all the femail bloggers?

Take extra care of yourself and best wishes to all 3 of you xx

Afternoon all,

What a lovely way to end another ridiculous week, with words from the Organ Grinder....Umm, just re-read that, I'm gonna leave it in, but will point out that it is an innocent remark with no side or offence meant.

Ooops!

Anyway, congratulations Tash, you must still be on cloud nine and with the boys you have surrounding you, you should be!

Good luck you all for the future...Enjoy!

Deev- You can get into the Ivy with much less notice if you go early evening before the theatre crowd turn up.
That's where I proposed to the CMM (as mentioned on Aled's show this week).

I am free most evenings in March, if that helps!

I also thought that JV had been reading your facecloth page today...Either that or it's a charm offensive in response to what gets written on here.

Have a good weekend!

Champagne for everybody!!!

No sign of Bondage this arvo? He's usually here with his feet under the desk by the time the oldies come on SW.

Good luck 'to' you all...obviously

Oooh hello Rips!

I love The Ivy! Been a couple of times with the CMD (!!) but going for Saturday lunch with mad mate, to break up a shopping frenzy. It's just gotta be done!

Will bear in mind the evenings in March thing tho. May take you up on that one ......

Champers indeed.

Ms Love - it is a cracking tune, one of my fave's!

Btw, not wished it but thought it - good luck with the move, I know how stressful it is. Knowing you like a bit of weather, I hope it stays dry for you m'dear! Sending peaceful moving vibes to you both...

"Oooh"?! did I catch you by surprise.

Re:
The Ivy...You're paying.
I am but a lowly Tinsmith.

Haha

I am but a lowly Diva Spice. Even wearing me heels today!

Housekeeping...

Tiggs, I guess today's the day, remember, you got the dream job once, you can get it again!"

Good luck x

Hazel, best wishes to you for next week also.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Marc Almond. I had him. On the cover of my French book. When I was 15 or thereabouts.

Lovely!

What a lovely message from Tash. Its lovely that you are so happy.

Another great picture too.

1ubytuesday: just thought I would say to you, keeping up with the blog requires superb mental and physical strength, but it's worth it!

My advice is that you get onto the blog first thing in the morning, check what you can (it may not be possible to read everything, but you will be amazed at how accomplished you will become at this!). And then you just hit the Refresh button at regular intervals.

The bloggers are very good - someone will always let you know when Chris (or Tash!) have written a new blog!

In all, it only uses up 7 or 8 hours out of your day - sweet!

Chrissie - 7 or 8 hours...?

Bloomin' part timers.
