Morning CLP

Glad you've got your head on today!!

Pen xx

Looks like I'm on me own, or am I dreaming?

Morning Chris

You've always struck me as someone who can keep their head in a crisis - whereas me......

MAWx

Morning Chris,

What a weird dream, very strange indeed. Is anyone on the blog a dream interpreter?

Try not to loose your head today Chris! It was great to have you back on the radio last night.

Morning all

Where's your head at now CLP! Hopefully well and truly on your body. That dream is enough to give the heebies jeebies.

Was great to hear your dulcit(sp) tones again last night. The ironing was done in double quick time AND tea dinner was cooking at the same time!

Sun is out atm here in Norfamps - hope it lasts the day.

Howdie Christophe ....

I'm kinda wondering ...... did you have a secret yearning to be Worzel Gummidge in your yoof? Many heads to suit whichever mood?!?!?

I too had a weird dream last night, that kept me awake from about 4am. In the real world, I'm having dinner tomorrow night with a very good friend at a local pub. In my dream, she kept telling me off, lecturing me, getting all righteous over me and saying I'm a bad bad girl.

What's THAT all about?!?!?

Laters sweetpeas.

Loveage!

Sounds to me like you need to lay off the cheese and biscuits before bed Chris. My other half always has dreams like that when he eats feta cheese.

deevs - are you a bad girl?

CLP - no idea about your dream - are you feeling insecure about something?

Day going from bad to worse and I know there is bad news waiting for me at home - ho hum

Morning lovelies.

First off, let me send big hugs to {{{{{{{Hazel}}}}}}}} for being poorly. My herbal medicine bible says that you should eat lots of oatmeal, muesli and yoghurt, and take l-lysine, 500mg twice daily. You can also dab on diluted tea tree oil. anyway, hope you're on the mend sweetheart.

I'm jolly tired this morning. Need a holiday to get over the holiday.

I too had a bizarre dream in which I made peace with my dad (who's been dead for nearly 30 years) - strange but good.

Morning all, wasn't it great to have CLP back last night? :0)
No strange dreams for me last night just 8 hours of peaceful slumber so i am indeed felling tip top today!!
Trying to rain here, so must go and do my outside chores now!!

TTW. xx

Hello all

I have been absent for very long time. So very sorry, I know I prob wasn't missed as don't write lots anyway, but not even been on to check up on you all! and now a brand new strange looking blog?!

CLP - fantastic to have you back. And your dream story today just made me laugh so much! A very visual pic in my head now of your head lying on the tee, and all around life carried on as normal! Is this what it means...you have lost your head while all around you carry on as normal?!

Anyway, hello to all and I've missed you. Good to see the regs are still here and some newbies too.

ps CLP loved the pics yesterday. don't you just love Scotland?!x

Hi All

Great to have you back last night Christophe - its not the same without you. Goodness only knows what that dream means - I thought I had some weird ones but I don't think my heads ever fallen off!

Hi Dreamer - good to see you back - I missed you!!

Darce xx

A belated welcome back and a shiny new blog, i have been away from things. Busy busy here at for the 'young' thrusting Auditor. Trying to get things all sorted before we head off on our summer hols this weekend. Vegas baby! Well with a bit of camping, pacific coasting LA'ing thrown in for good measure. Can't wait. Love staff travel ;-)

ttfn
J

just started to tell people I'm leaving work - seeing as I go in about a month - but have a nearly two week break in the middle of that - have lots to do - but I'm so glad I'm going ;-)

Awww, thanks Darce! Think I don't need to lose my head in dreams....it goes off wandering every day.....

dreamer

Chris,

I can't interpret dreams, but I do believe that dream of yours was your subconscious "catching up" with the fantastic experience you had at the Open this year. Can't explain why your head would fall off though - wonder if Baggy had a point with her post #9?

And, Baggy, hope things are ok for you - not as bad as it seems.

TipTopWestie: 8 hours sleep - you lucky thing, you! I managed 4 hours last night and that was something of a miracle. Woke up at 2.30am and then spent the next four hours worrying about everything - even stuff that is nothing to do with me!

C xx

Is computer going to let me play today?????? breath being held

Wooooooooooooohooooooooooooooo!

So it's just the work computer that is fudged up!

Afternoon everyone,

CLP, good to have you back, and sorry to hear about the loss of your head.
I heard you play Pop Goes the Weasle last night, and it went round in my head for hours. Would have given anything to take my head off !!!! LOL
So glad you are back, but could you have a word about this new blog please ?

Thanks ever so.
MC xx

Hello! Have you missed me? :-)

Having a quick break for some lunch and thought that I would pop in and say hi.

I am, so far, managing to keep my head....first day doing full time hours for my new role today. And LM is having a great time at his new childminders house. Hurray!


Down to just one day a week at the hospital now for another two weeks, then couple therapy. Eeek!!

Deb x

Hi Debs,

Well done, good to see you back! Glad its all going well so far and that you got LM settled with a good childminder. Wish you best of luck with couple therapy - eeek indeed, I'd find that one tough!!

Dreamer - my heads all over the place as well - perhaps thats the meaning of CLP's dream - he knows exactly where his head is!

Darce x

Hello Debbie - of course we've missed you. Glad things are working out for you. It must help you also to know that LM is happy. Keep up the good work.

Pen xx

I interpret that dream means you forgot to do something reallly important!

Now then was it that you forgot to give us a guest blogger while you were away,or...maybe that you forgot to give us a mention on last nights show (if you did,I missed it)

One of there is still redeemable.

I will be all ears at 5.05 in anticipation.

Ta muchly CLP.xx

Howdy everyone.

Having a massive purge in house,treated myself to a carpet shampooer,such decacence I hear you say!

Well no more shake n vac for me oh no.

Mind you not enjoying the soggy feet much.

Will try and pop in tonight.

Sweet dreams are made of this.

MTF.xxxx

Hi Debs

Sounds like the light is getting much brighter for you. Keep up the good work. Good to hear LM is settled (one less thing to worry about).

Steffi xx

Obviously not got my spelling head on LOL.!!!!

MTF.xxx

Afternoon each..

Heads falling off..we have a dream book somewhere here at work,i`ll see if i can fish it out and see if it is mentioned...truly bizarre CLP!

I have had a recurring dream since i was a child. I am chased by a fox across country,i keep running and it keeps almost catching me,then as it gets me i wake up..normally breathing hard and very hot and sweaty! Weird!

Anyhoo..not sure what to make of yours Deevs.. no comment is probably safest!

Dreamer and M&W and everyone else returning,good to see you back..

Rest of ya.. HELLLLOOOO!!! There, that`ll wake the sleepy ones up!

mSc x

PS - if anyone has a Wii then a word of warningn...dont buy the new Sports resort game..its totally addictive and things like ironing,tidying up, eating and sleeping will be forgotten about... *walks off to find a life*... x

Aw cheers! Getting LM settled was paramount, and so far so good. Couple therapy is the scarey bit now! Not sure where that one will go.

MTF, when it comes to decadence I paid £50 to have my oven and grill cleaned professionally on Saturday...how bad is that?

Deb x

Good grief Christoph !! I will have nightmares tonight about your dream!! Love to know what that means!!

Dissing Debs Dreamer - all the D's coming back - missed yarl !!

Oh blimey - work - back later

Beezer xxx

Those oven people earn every penny Debs!

It takes me 5 hours to get mine to perfection.

Then I say I will wipe it out after every use.

4 weeks on.....back to the 5 hour clean.

MTF.xx

Good to see you on here Debs, I was only thinking of you this morning as "Shine" came on my ipod and also yesterday as I purchased some of your scrummy crumpets. Keep up the good work, you are doing just fine xx

AliB

Pee ess Debs - fb me details of the cooker cleaners - mine disgusting ! Last time one got this bad - couldn't face cleaning it so got a new one! Decadence?

Beez xx

I like the new blog now.

It seems to have speeded up a lot in the last few days.

I know we still have the 20 second delay thing, but the rest of it seems to be faster.

MTF.xxx

Hi Beez! x

MTF too right do they earn every penny! In fact I might not use the oven for a little while just so that I get my moneys worth :-)

Ali, thank you! Have that song in my head now.

'Let is shine......let it shine..'

Deb x

MTF - same here, give oven a massive clean and all the promises go out of the window after 2-3 weeks. Next to ironing it's my pet hate!!

Agree also re the blog, perhaps they have listened and tweeked, anyhoo definitely better!

Pen xx

Hiya Pen.

I never iron, ever!

No time too.No need to.

MTF.xx

Beez - only you could buy a new cooker cause the old one needed cleaning!! Why did that not surprise me! lol

Pen xx

Ok, Beez....when I get home I'll forward the details. x

And no is not a slob...in fact a slob I is not!!!

Used to have to iron all the time in a previous life.One that involved smartly pressed blouses, shirts for him etc....

Now more easy care clothes worn for different job role.

Talking of which..Time to flap my wings.

Have a lovely afternoon all.

MTF.xx

Oooh, blouses for me,shirts for him!

Toodle oo!

Scooby thanks for the heads up also hi to all non cooker cleaners, you can't beat having the nice man coming in and leaving you with a sparkly new oven - I use o**n c***n it's a national lot.

Scooby I was looking at getting a Wii with a sporty program you obviously recommend it?

Deb you sound so much better, well done you.

We only put our house on the market last week and it's just been sold OMG!!! Better find somewhere for my son to live quick. Anybody know of a nice property in Cardiff area?

MAWx

MTF - Good philosophy re the ironing. Don't think it would work on blokes shirts tho. Could maybe teach him to do his own, but then he might ask me to clean the smell drain out, which he had to do last evening!!! On second thoughts I'll stick to ironing!!

Pen xx

A man by the name of Christophe
Had a dream that his head fell off
A Hole in One was his goal
As he approached the 18th hole
Tiger and John shouted 'FORE'
Christophe's head fell to the floor
The Buggy took Chris's head away
And Tiger went on to win the day

Darce x

Quick hello and hug to Debs! Sounds like you're doodling just fine sweet thing. Well done you. And couples therapy a toughie, but as you well know the best things in life are definitely NOT free.

dreamer
xx

MaW - great news re the house! And get a Wii and get Sports Resort.. dog frisbee, 100 pin bowling, and all the usual archery,golf etc..its fantastic. Word of warning though.. warm up first! My arm still aches from a session on it on Sunday! Brilliant system and brilliant games..really cant recommend highly enough if you like that type of thing!

Debs - hi! Glad work thing is going good.. all sounds positive! x

Debs2 - fingers crossed the work thing works for you too..sounds promising, i`m sure you`ll impress them no end.

And Beez..love the `buy a new cooker thing`! GM does ours.. dont know why but he enjoys doing it even tho i do the cooking. There`s a thought..Perhaps i could hire him out...!

mSc x

Nice one, Darce. Hope CLP reads it!

Pen xx

Would someone explain the Wii thing please?

Is it meant to be just for fun or to get fit or both? I tried the golf one at a friend's house and, well, just how exciting can it get? Perhaps, I needed to play whole round to 'get the benefit'. I know people talk very excitedly about them and just wondered if some kind person would fill me in please.

Thank you very much

Beany
x

Thanks Pen - I was bored!!

Beany - Glad you asked, I was wondering that as well. Is it good for Bingo wings Scoobs?

Darce xx

Beany..i have never been a `games` person but we bought a Wii 2 weeks ago and its a fab piece of kit. You can get keep fit packages, games (like scrabble etc), sports stuff, music and loads of other things..the list really is endless.

I was a bit sceptical at first but the sports one has won me over. The golf etc seems a bit faffy at first but once you get into it, trying to hit the ball straight, beat your score etc is strangely addictive..well in Scoobs world anyway! Think it also helps that i seem to beat my GM on most things weve played so far!

So, if you want a bit of fun it can be that..but i also know people who have lost weight by doing the `fit` thing on it. Seems to be a good alround machine imho.

Dont know if that helps but thats my thoughts..!

mSc x

Talking of Bingo wings - has he flown away? Where are you Bingles? INDEED, we are missing your posts!!

Pen xx

Darce..yes! My arm aches all over..including the bit underneath to which you refer! And you dont even feel like you are excersising either..bonus! hee hee..

mSc x

Thanks Scoobs. Yes it does help.

I am very competitive....apparently ;-) so it sounds like the sort of thing I could get hooked on, although as a (once) sporty type, its hard to think that you can beat the real thing. But I guess you have the option of trying a variety of different things without having to buy the kit, pay the subs, etc, etc. I will investigate further! Does the loser buy the next round though???

Beany
x

i got a wii and a wiifit for my birthday in Dec, being able to monitor my weight and have half hour sessions really helped in losing weight as I could keep an eye on it and it records everything you do which makes oyu want to beat yourself!

Hi Team.....Tango is back, brown all over, well almost....pass the sangria, can't stand this working lark!!!!!!

Trust all is well with you guys. Busy playing catch up at work, so hence being quiet today....

Catcha laterz amigos...

Adios..xxx

Helloo Bazza, show us your white bits, gwon, you know you wanna!!!!

PPPP xx

I've gained and extra P there, you gotta guess what it is!

afternoon all, hope you're well?

I love dreams, worked last night, bed at 7.30 this morning, awake by 12 and in that time I'd signed for Spurs, read a paper that kept coming to life & talking to me and then couldn't find White Hart Lane when it was time for my debut. Woke up just as I turned the corner to see the stadium in front of me.

4 days off now, wedding to goto on Fri, nothing else to report

Clodagh - mwah, huge thank yoos

Welcome back brown Tango Baz!

Is it Plumber Pen??

Darce xx

Very funny Darce, as I said earlier I'm not gonna mention THAT 'P' word today, cause I'm *issed (see what I did there?) off with the whole flaming toilet malarkey!!

No actually I think it was you that called me the other 'P' yesterday, remember?

Pen xx

Of course -Poet Pen!!

Darce x

Pens Palma (Ham) Penne Pasta.....owz that..?

TBx

Morning and afternoon everyone from sunny upstate new you. Off shortly for my interview today. It's about a 2 hour drive from my house so it's going to be a long day. I had my second estate agent out last night to give me an assessment of the house. Two very different opinions, and prices of course. My plan is to have it on the market by the end of the week. Hope you've all had a good day.......

Ten out of ten, Darce, in fact there's several others more worthy of that title, including your goodself, PD!

Pen xx

Must be something in the air, I had a weird dream last night. That involved a former boss, a former job, me driving a car, I was also sick and a multi-story car park .... it was weird....

Good luck with the interview James - we're all rooting for you.x

Hope it doesn't come to having to sell your house if you like it there. It's amazing how estate agents opinions vary so much - they say get at least 3 valuations to get a fairer idea.

Darce xx

Bondy....best of luck mate, fingers are firmly crossed.....XXXX

TBx

Good Luck James, hope all goes well xx Did you get the expected phone call yesterday?

Pen xx

Thanks Darce, Baz, and Penny. I appreciate the support.

Penny, I actually they told me they'd me making a decision last week. Having not heard I decided to called them and was told they'd be making a decision this week, so I'm still in with a chance.

Darce, I could call another estate agent and see where they come. I would rather not sell but, I have resigned myself that it is inevitable.

Oh poor you Chris, but then again I guess it's better than not sleeping at all. If it doesn't wake you up, just put it down to nutty dreams. I get them often.
Good to hear you back!
I haven't seen any photos of Noah for ages.. how is he doing?

Hells

Hells, check out yesterday's blog for photos, there's a gorgeous one of Noah.

Pen xx

OH wonderful , thank you Penny...

AW isn't he just gorgeous!!!

Evening each

Chris, your head fell off????? Have a book somewhere that interprets dreams in a psycotherapy way, will go and look for it!!

Everyone ok?

Deev: Yes, you have the potential to be a very naughty girl!

Back later.

xxxxx

Hi all

Have just survived a cloud burst on the way home, so bad everyone was pulling over, even though it was a 30 limit!

However, mad dog has just run down the hall with wet feet and slid straight into the wall at the end and ended up in a heap, which has made my day! LOL I haven't laughed so much in ages! And, no, he wasn't hurt, well, only his pride...

Good luck for your interview Bondy!

JG x

*lol* Jakeygirl, a bit like a scoobydoo slide?
Poor thing.

Evening each

Real thunderstorm here..windy and rainy and horrible..feels like October.

JG - poor Finlay..shame you havent got that on video..glad he made you smile though!

Hi Annie - couldnt find the dream book at work so relying on you to tell us why CLP`s head fell off!

And Bondy.. no news is good news, still in with a chance, hope todays interview went well..

right.. tea about ready, home done wedges, stuffed mushrooms and salad..it IS July after all!

Maybe later.. keep smiling everyone!

mSc x

PS - ChrissieS..missed the JR Dragons thing..will endeavour to `watch again`..thanks!

mSc x

Yes, Hells, just like Scooby-Doo, but thankfully a smaller dog, or he might've gone through the wall!

And yes, I wish I had a camera trained on him at all times, I'd make a fortune!

I'm not sure about the head falling off thing either, had many weird dreams, but never that! Mind you, playing with those two would probably make your head fall off, what a combination! LOL

JG x

Or was it John Daly's trousers causing it?

Evening all

Annie - me? Naaaaaaaaaaah! I'm an angel!

As for bits and bobs drawers - my whole house is a two-bed terraced bits and bobs drawer!!

Bondy - good luck sweetie xx

Dinner done. Back in a bit.

Deevs
xxxx

Bond: Lots of luck. xxxxx

Bits & bobs drawer - I've got two, how did that happen??

JG: Loved the doggie story.

xxxxx

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

IN FACT.

Renee has bits & bobs drawers, bags, shelves, buckets, cupboards and boxes throughout the house. Yous can't open a cupboard in Renee's house without summat heavy and usually sticky landin' on your heed or pokin' you in the eye. It's like bein' continually booby-trapped.

I swear. I don't call 'er Bert Kwok for nowt.

Clodagh.xx

Clodagh, #82 why??? read your post and as usual v v funny. Went back to read and digest again and it was gone!!!!!!!!

Pen xx

Methinks it may have bin' the bad word I used upon discoverin' the drawin' pin lurkin' behind the postcard from Cleveleys Aunty Fanny?

Ah well. Ey I must be nearly eligible for lines? Chiz.

Clodagh.xx

That would be from Cleveleys FROM Aunty Fanny of course. She wasn't Cleveleys' answer to Blackpool Billy the Bear-Baiter.

At least I don't think so. Mind you if she was anything like Renee and her Polish Airmen, who knows.

Clodagh.xx

Ah Clodagh. Stupid moderators.

xxxxx

Sorry Clodagh, missed your #82, what was wrong?

have loads of junk spots, in fact we have a whole room devoted to it, although we still fail to dump stuff in there!

And I still have a PS3 racing seat chair thing in the hall, which

1) makes getting in the front door difficult, and
2) makes getting up the stairs almost impossible! Especially if you're carrying something!

Been trying to shame him into moving it, but it's not worked yet!

JG x

Damn this delay!

Mr JG home, so popping off now, and going for some well-deserved sleep, and I defy anyone to play footie outside tonight!

JG x

Evening peeps - I made a horrifying discovery today - I can't blog from work!
Not sure if it is the new style blog (coz today was the first time I had tried since it changed) or if work have put some sort of embargo on it, but when I wrote something and clicked post comment, I got a message back saying there was a problem as there was no comment to post!!!

Has anyone else had this?

If this is the way it's going to be, then there will only be 'home' posts in future.

Crumpy xx

Crumbs quiet one today.
Clodagh wish I'd kept up with blog more today - needed a good laugh and the modders got you - bums!!! Copy and paste darlin - then just take out the odd bit until it stays!!!

Wotaday is all I can say!!! Back inabit when d/w loaded.

Beezer xxx

Well the sun came and went - chucked it down just when I went to post tonight!!!
I have a lounge/dining room - decs finished - however stuff from hall now plonked in there - together with 15 rolls of paper. Yes - I found it after being on phone/internet all morning. Just a smidge of a trip for Mr B to Stratford a mere 50 mins away!

JG - brilliant story re Finlay - made me giggle. Doggy arrived back tonight with Mr B - no carpet - hall/landing stairs. Bounded through kitchen - used to skidding on that floor - got the knack now - puts back leg out to act like a brake next to the bin!!! came to a grinding halt - one paw plus nose on to wood - not carpet!!! Hilarious! Number of times I wish I had a camera attached to me!!!

Beezer xxx

Pen Darce Bridge - who has the wooden floors? Will check in a mo. What a racket!!! Made mistake of putting them in t' office. First time I wheeled my chair to copier and ended up with nose in the filing - runners purchased!!!!

Beezer xxx

Chris

I would say that your dream is a manifistation of your inner turmoil regarding who you are and where you want to be.

Golf is a great love of your life and so provides the background. The two other players are metaphors for the two extremes in your life.

John Daley the big hitting, hard drinkinking, womanisinng gambler is the old you who used to hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Tiger Woods the sensible quiet and dignified athlete is the new you, settled, married and with a new baby.

However somewhere inside you are still torn between the two, you want to be Tiger Woods, but there is still still a bit of John Daley inside somewhere who is dying to get out, thus your head falls of in frustration.

MTF...

Heading off to bed.LOL.xx

morning peeps
On the assumption that I won't be blogging from work, just wanted to say hi and have a good day.

Heading off on the 50 mile commute, on a grey and damp morning here in Wrexham.

Catch ya later, when home.
ttfn, Crumpy xx

She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke, I was alone, this bird had flown
So I lit a fire, isn't it good, norwegian wood


Morning gang!

Thought a bit of Lennon & McCartney might be a nice way to start the morning so there you go .....

Me? Up at 6. Walked me 2 miles - in the rain, no less! Made lunches, washing pegged out (stopped raining by then) and now enjoying the morning quiet with a cup of coffee and the tippy tap of acrylic nails on this ere keyboard.

Happy Hump Day!

it's funny - Wednesday is generally invoicing day, which indeed gives me the right hump. Apt!

Oh blow .... its starting to rain again which means any minute now Mr Deev will appear out of the shower and be all gloaty coz I hung the washing out and he said it was gonna rain. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Out to dinner with my birthday twin this eve. Lots to catch up with as we've not seen eachother for about 4 weeks - it used to be twice a year and now we go out regularly which is lovely. And I believe its her shout tonight - even betterererer!!!

Right, gonna love you and leave you and got get showered, fire up the cement mixer for the make-up and run up the leccy bill with my Boeing 747-esque hair dryer.

High maintenance, me?? Hell yeh!!!

Truly Madly Deeply Deevs

Gloaty.

Told ya so .........

Blowing a gale here too.

But then knew it would. Its Dunster country fair,and as its all set up,the show must go on.

It will be a glorified mudbath within minutes of opening.

I love days like today and have all my windows thrown wide open.

Twill dry my carpets a treat. Well when I've washed em anyway!

Anyone else joining the wide awake club?

Yaawwwnnn,oh excuse me....
