Steffi xx

P.S. Sofa in the garage? Ooooo get u Christophe.

Steffi / MC - I am in Wrexham, but a stones throw - well 10 miles! from said Chester. Lovely place to wander around but then all that lovely Welsh countryside on the doorstep.

Deev - you really need to come up to that neck of the woods.

Crumpy xx

Sparkle

Hi CLP

I have a Blackbury (I nick name it the Rasberry due to the noise I make at it when I get an e-mail from work). I too have sausage fingers so I use a small Stencil (you know like a pen without the nib)

Is this sofa the our you re-inherited from your friend?

ARF Madness -I've been driving in my car, because I'm getting my new car tommorrow

Cheers

I could list everything in my Garage but i'd take too long. Needless to say I don't have room for a sofa.

OK guys
I am writing new script of Snow White and still have 3 dwarfs to name. Must end in 'y' and must not be derogatory (no smelly, ugly etc). So far have Jumpy, Tardy, Stroppy, Brainy, and Mobi.
Any ideas?????

Good luck my friend!

So, it seems a Cheshire/Merseyside/Clwyd meet is a possibility.

Even tho I live down in Norfamps, we travel up North on a frequent basis.....foottie, kids etc. So could even join in. Probs more likely than getting to Brum or London which are only an hour away!!

Steffi xxx

Adam - loving Fluffy!
and Sparkle - Softie is excellent
Thanks - keeo 'em coming!
BWx

What about

tufty

Lofty

Kofty (Turkish dwarf)

For ARF I'd love you to play ACDC High Voltage...this is one of me and me dad's favourites!

Lovels to all three of the Evans gang

Jos x x

Lofty and Kofty ha ha ha

How about Wiggly? or Giggly?

mmmm blackberries? Aren't they what grow on a bush and you make jam out of. What do I know?

Sofa in a garage? I've got a car in mine, is that a novelty?

Sounds like a great team, you and Noah.

ARF - I'll be back. No that's not the title, I just can't think of one at the mo.

Pen xx

Hi Chris,

I have the same problem with any phone, including my indespensable iPhone.....
Just have to live with it I reckon.......

Not too surprised to hear that you have a sofa in your garage......If my garage contained half of what yours does.
I'd have a bed in there aswell!!

Dream on eh!

ARF - Graham Coxon - Freakin' out.

Cheers

Rips

Nobby

Spark - pure genius!
I know I have a giggler auditioning for me too!

Hi Chris,
Can you please say hello to my little girl tomorrow? She's going into hospital for a hernia op tomorrow. She's called Hannah and she's a sweetie! Many thanks,

Oh the mighty blueberries / raspberries / strawberries as they are known in this office - watching my boss (not the most tech savvy guy in the world - by his own addmission) try to handle the ickle tiny buttons with his big, big hands is hilarious, and usually produces a stream of norty words from him!!!

SteffiB - I was born in Chester too!
Lovely place, although not as good as when I was a kid - we went to the zoo for my birthday about 5 years on the trot!!!
And used to be a good night out too!!
Must go and look round the rows next time at me mum's ......... now i'm homesick!!!!

Been email queen again today - although I do find to difficult to send an email to someone with no email address.............

Big boss calling again

Hey, Loujaneb - sending Hannah lots of love for tomorrow

Yo Big Chief CLP,

Welcome to the New Dawn (of the Blackberry) Tip 1: Leave it be, once you come home after a day at work - life is too short . . .

All rainy and desperate over in Belfast - Irelands biggest farming show is on at the Kings Hall, a stones throw from my office and the crowds are scary . . . no, they really are scary . . .

ARF . .
Make Me Smile . . Steve Harley

I 'hank yo . . .

DtM x

Loujaneb -

All the best to Hannah for tommorrow our thought and hearts are with her

Gotta have a dwarf called

Chavi - he can wear Burberry!


Had a text from Beez and she's having a ball!

And now I'm grinning like an eeeejit!

Some people just know how to make your day, don't they!?!

;-)

Best wishes for tomorrow, Hannah sweetheart xx

Chavi - ha ha ha!!

Maybe we should have a blog panto this year!!

T x

I USED to have a garage...but it went in the divorce..along with the useless stuff in it - and by that i mean my ex husband!

Just had one of those `we have exciting news re your lottery ticket` emails...shaking hands etc as logging in to find... a tenner, but not to be sniffed at in this climate!

Now the `pool as i believe its known...have never been to the Liver OR Black version but have done the Hartle one..

I can feel a bloggers meet in Liverpool coming on!

And whoever said re m`ways - the company i work for has several shops around the Manchester/Warrington/Stockport area - and EVERY time i visit..i get lost. Guaranteed. Have just learnt to add half an hour onto my journey time now!

mSc x

PS - trying to think of a suitalbe ARF and failing..so will concur with whoevers gets chosen!

Eb
Getting me all nostalgic for my childhood now. Chester Zoo is a BIG must for anyone. Nana Rose used to take me often when I was little. My Aunty took me once in her Bubble car! Got photo's somewhere, must dig them out.

Oh and feeding the swans on the river.

Later on when we moved South, I spent may a summer holybobs with Aunt & Unc in Neston.......sweet memories.....speshly easting pots of shrimp and prawns sat on the wall at Parkgate!

Steffi xxx

(with tears and a sniff - miss you Nana. GD has Rose as her middle name - cos she is and cos Nana meant so much to me)

Good luck Hannah! Big hugs.

Steffi xx

ARF

Sunday Girl

Blondie

Thank you.

Pen xx

Off on Holiday again?! Radio 2 presenters seem to spend more time away than actually on the job! :P


ARF - Vienna - Ultravox

tomgriff - great to see you

surely that song is older then you?

Super bp x

Steffi -

What was the big swimming place called - all I can think of is the Sun Centre, but that's Rhyl.....

I'm really looking forward to taking the boy to Chester Zoo - he can already roar like a lion and trumpet like a elephants (my faves - I'm jubilee's generation!) - so it should be fun!

panic stations, boss lost a piece of paper!!
ebx

morning all,

have I missed much these last days, been busy so havent been able to blog.

As someone who lives in Liverpool I would recommend the albert dock, the cavern quarter, a trip on the ferry across the mersey. There are many, many more but dont have time to go through them all.

Nick.

Afternoon!

Ironing done!!!!!

Case packed!!! (almost)

No Blackberry for me (apart from the edible variety) I am quite happy with my ordinary bog standard moby. Does everything I need it to so if it aint broke don't fix it! Only just joined the i pod generation, still getting to grips with the delights of i tunes. Need to download stuff to fill my long coach journey from Jonkoping up to Stockholm...

ARF: Rio by Duran Duran please!

That's all for now

Rx

Only been to the Docks of Liverpool, due to my work.




....on the ships - ON HTE SHIPS

Any one got a ladder so I can get out now before I dig myself deeper?

Ads

PS Good luck Hannah for your op!! xx

eb - there was the outdoor Lido at Rhos on Sea. Was that it?
C x

Nice photo CLP

Big Nick - good call!

I agree - ferry cross the Mersey is a 'must do' - even if they do play the song at eardrum-breaking levels all the way!!

And if you're up there and have transport, Knowsley Safari Park is BRILL!

T xxx

OOH what a cute photo!! He looks a bit ginge now!

Is that really your garage? If so, can I be the live-in garage keeper???

T xxx

Tins,

We went there at Easter with the nieces, and drove round 3 times! Brilliant

JG x

Eb

Can only think of the the pool at Connors Quay (sp)

Deev - You should know that the Romans named their fortress DEVA in Chester. You must visit now!

Steffi xx

eb - the name Northgate Arena rings a bell with me for the swimming place in Chester, think I went there once as part of a school trip to Colomendy (if you went to school in Liverpool you'll know where I mean!!)

Rx

Lovely photo CLP, that surely can't be the garage!!! It's nicer than my house!

JG x

Afternoon blogmates old and new,

BigWugs (?!) - Mardy and Lardy to rhyme with Tardy?

Don't have a garage - sob. And it takes me all my time to keep up with email, texts and the blog, don't want a Blackberry thank you very much.

Gorgeous photo of Noah, thanks Chris.

I wish we could have some sunshine, feeling decidedly low on vitamin D today.

ARF Everlasting Love by Love Affair. Cos I love it.

A x

good call T.

If you go to Knowsley, dont take the safe option to bypass the monkeys or lions, go for the other option where you drive through the lions and watch the monkeys climb on your car, its so good.

Nick.

Afternoon CLP,

Cute photo of the little one, my how he is growing. Nice garage too, it's good to know that you actually keep cars in yours, cause where I live no one does and it's like a car park! I have my own numbered space, as I'm in a flat, but all spare bits of road and kurbs are taken up by parked cars!

I loved Brookside and I do a mean scouse accent, so I'd love to go visit sometime. Drove past the sign post on my way to Lancs the other day.

ARF - Kelly Clarkson - Since You've been Gone.

Nick - you might find you leave with no windscreen wipers or bumper!! I know coz it happened to me years ago.
Crumpy

oh!

hadn't seen the photo........

V. cute tho, and Chris, can I move into your garage please, it's much, much nicer than my house.........

Thank you Rosie - Northgate Arena it is....many birthdays spent there as well......ah memories........

phew, boss gone to big meeting - only four of us let in the office - tea anyone??

ebx

Rosie - Colomendy, remember it well!!!!

Rain, rain and more rain as I remember!!!

T xx

delayed reaction here on the photo - only just got it.

Gawjus - worth the wait.

Pen xx

Gawd!! All these options for visiting Liddypool. I'll be there a while week at this rate!

Fortress Deev - love that!!

And thos socks - oh yes, loving those socks.

God! I'm in a good mood!

Deevski x x x x

Crumpy,

I have been number of times and luckily for me no damage has happened to the car. I have had monkeys fall asleep on my bonnet as I have been driving but nothing major.

Nick.

SteffiB #37 - my 14year old has Rose as her middle name too! She is beautiful (biased) and usually smells fragrant. She is also extremely prickly at times!

A x

We used to have a cat called Rose. It was a boy, a big ginger tom in fact, but my daughter wanted a girl so it could have kittens so I told a little white lie ...

T xx

Hi Blogettes

Some great suggestions for Liddypool, Manchester & Chester. As am married to a 'plastic scouser' - (someone from the Wirral - on the other bank of the Mersey that's not Liverpool)

Can empathise with you Deev - when we first met he always used to say for anywhere that was crowded 'It's like Birkenhead Market in here' Still love the way he says Birkenhead after ? ? years. A s a lady of a certain age I don't have to revel all. Probably better if I don't !

I live in a village a few miles from Chester and can vouch for it's cuteness. Lots of lovely Tudor buildings (some original and many Victorian copies) a lovely river to walk alongside, the most complete set of Roman Walls in Europe than you can still walk around. Also a few nice shops in which to browse/spend. How about a North West meet in Chester??

Janet - marvellous idea. You and I can be tour guides. Where do we start and where do we stop? So much choice.

Crumps xx

Hey it could be a two country meet - England and Wales in a day!

Tins, that's shocking. Imagine how silly he felt when you were calling him - I bet the other toms teased him mercilessly. Did she ever rumble you? (The daughter, not the confused cat).
A x

And who's gonna drive the happy sunshine bloggers bus?

Not me mister!!!!

Deevs xxx

CTD #70

Bingo of course!

Hi Nick

When we went to Knowsley, we opted out of the monkey part this time, as we nearly lost our wipers the first time, and others were losing wing mirrors, door handles, top brake LCD lights and all sorts. Could get kinda expensive!

The lions are fantastic though (didn't even know you could by-pass them, or why you would want to) and they had about six cubs when we were there the other week, so cute!

JG x

AliB - genius!!!! x

or Clodagh!

Right my blog-lovelies, I'm off. By weird coincidence I'm actually off to Chester for a big family party this weekend so won't be around now till Monday.

Be good
Be nice
Be have

Lots of love
T xxx

PS Boleyngirl, yep, I owned up in the end. And felt so guilty that we ended up with 2 more cats!!

T x

Hi all - i'm up for a Liverpool/Chester meet - my neck of the woods. Lots of lovely "watering holes"

Ash x

Right, I'm off. Himself has landed back in Blightie. Horrah!

Chat again tomorrow folks.

Big hugs.

Steffi xxxx

Ash aren't you Ruthin?

Hi Crumpy - yes that's me - not too far from you!

do they still have a folk/music/dance thingy on there in the summer?

I seem to remember going to one years ago, and then a wander around the castle grounds.

There's a music festival on in June in the 'Old Gaol' - well worth a visit!!

right I'll put it in the calendar.

oh,oh,oh - anyone got a brown paper bag...

GM bestest bud has just rung him to tell him that him and I need to book Wed 8th July off work as we were going out...
