Enjoy. My lad's been with my ex and her husband and he says it's great!

Rob

Never been there myself. Have a good weekend all of you.

Arh, that is sooooo sweet. Bless you and Jonny's little boy.

Have a great time, I've done the two American ones but not since the early 90's, I'm guessing a return visit might be in order sometime.

Wishing both families a great weekend.

I went to Disneyland in Florida once and I was in a queue behind two enormous British blokes who looked like the Mitchell brothers off EastEnders. The conversation went something like this:

"Well, we've done the Dumbo ride and the teacups. What d'you want to do after this one?"

"Um, how about It's a Small World - that's supposed to be good".

These blokes were unaccompanied - not a child in sight. Love it.

Evans and Saunders in Disneyland - those kids aren't going to get a look in! Have a wonderful weekend.

Hi everyone else - lots of love.

PS 13% rise on cider? Peter Snow might as well colour the South West blue on his big election map right now.

Barmy xx

Have a great time all of you, I hope the weather is considerably better than it is here in South West Scotland.

Gail.

CLP, Tash, Noah, Johnny and family,
Have a wonderful time. If it is anything like Disneyworld you will have a ball.
Congrats on the viewing figures. What a way to respond to the doubters.

Keep up the good work.

Thunder

What a treat for you all.

Have a fab time.

Barmy, as it doesnt go up until Sunday,I am stockpiling.

Why cider, honestly!!!

MTF.xx

Exactly MTF. I can understand it on the cheap rocket fuel that rots your brain but not on the refined stuff wot us ladies drink. Good move on the stockpiling. All round to yours then!

X

Have a great weekend CLP - so that's what you've been excited about and I bet Johnny's as excited as his son!

Congrats on the figures too - we all knew you would do it.

Goldiesmum - Thanks for your opinion on 'We Will Rock You' - have booked it and really looking forward to it now. Hope everything goes OK with your Mums chemo x

MTF - hope you're feeling better and have lovely vision of you squirreling away your cider x

All those off to Glasgow have a great time - really looking forward to the photos!!

Darce x

Morning Chris,

Have a superb weekend. We did a similar surprise for our two (when they were 7 and 5). I remember it being very hard trying to pack in secret, especially when they couldn't find their favourite clothes. The funniest thing was trying to rouse them at 4 in the morning for our flight, they thought we had gone stark staring mad (no change there then!).

Please could you post on your blog a photo or two when you get back?

Mcw x

Well I can honestly say I have never seen/heard rain this heavy.

Its positively hysterical!!

Thanks Darce, still barking, but getting there.x

MTF.xx

Chris, are you there yet???

MTF.xx

Have fun Chris. No wonder you couldn't sleep earlier in the week, with all the excitement of this trip! Still, great you are still a kid at heart - keep up the good work!
Cider - typical half baked (or maybe that should be half brewed?) political nonsense - not thought through and won't hit the people whom it's aimed at, just innocent law abiding cider drinks. Cripplecock doesn't get near!

Nic

PS A nearly forgooot this.... 'opa all like..... >>>>>>>>



'opa all ave a most friendly weekend!!!!!!!!!!

I am an innocent law abiding cider drinker,

I drinks it all of the day.

It soothes all my troubles away, oooh arr oooh array oooh arr oooh array.

Well, it will until Sunday!!!

Hic, oops pardon :)

MTF.xx

Afternoon ,

So, Friday is here again, woo hooo.

Nic,(#14) have just had to google that , just to check it was a drink not a condition ;-)

MTF, blimey, you and Puffball need a rest, take care.

Am having one of those days, when what you need/want to do, keeps getting put down the pile for other peoples "need it now" requests, grrrrrr .

MC xx

Chris

Today's aphorism.

You don't stop playing because you get old; you get old because you stop playing.

Bingo,its another long lunch break by the looks of it.

MTF.xx

MC - I think the drink is well named, as it does what it says on the bottle!
Barney - Ah how true..

Nic

Nic, oooooh, i am lost for words !

MC xx

So it would appear, are the rest of us!!!

MTF.xx

Right, its got to that time of day again.

Gotta fly, have fun.

MTF.xx

Hi All

Have a lovely time CLP - shame you're not joining the bloggers though....

Well I'm here in Glasgow in the hotel and have found somewhere that I can do wifi...

Seeing Beez and Jovial later for drinks and food - yes in that order.

Will catch up later.

mtd ffb xxx

Halloo!

Have a great weekend......everyone by the sound of it!
Im off to see Mama Mia in London with the family.....wish me luck!

Happy Birthday Annie for tomorrow - sma to you as Debs....Behave!!

Barney - There's no I in team, but there is me ;^)

Toodles

Rips

untalentedmrripley

There's only me in team if it hasn't been put together correctly.

Have a good trip you lot. Me, I`ve been a bit shocked at my blog yesterday. Plus I had a little cry this morning, I`ve had sooooo much help and advice with diabetes but when it comes to depression and mental health issues in my experience there is not a lot of help, unless perhaps you have the money to pay for some councelling.

Years ago I went to see this guy who would wire you up to a stress measuring machine, then I would close my eyes while we talked through problems, he would say, "what`s worrying you at this moment?" I`d reply, "how much this is costing me!" Didn`t work!

Anyway, after yesterdays blog I`ve decided it`s time to stop blogging and listening, so fairly well CLP and fellow members of the blog.

Bye.

Afternoon blogspeople!

Been mostly here in a lurking capacity this week owing to a plethora of requests to deal with in the office (actually there's only really been two, but I don't often get to slip a plethora into the conversation, so I thought I'd avail myself of the opportunity).

Not sure I'll be able to check in this weekend either, so afore I go..

CSN - hope things are OK.

Those of you off up to Glasgow (or in some cases, already there) - have a cracking weekend.

Debs - mind the step!

Billie - you should be proud of yourself and everything you've achieved. Just swap the blue football shirt for a red one and life will be complete! (P.S. Barney - I know I'm living in the past with this one, but I like the past - I was born there :-) )

Anyone with birthdays this weekend - have a good one!

Rips - enjoy the show - the pink lycra will fit in perfectly.

Nic/Deevs/MissP - good luck with the job hunting. Nic, might be an idea to keep your Cripplecock issues to yourself though, you know what they say about first impressions.

To everyone else, have a great weekend!

Carl.

I have just watched the ten pin bowling video, is it just me, or did anyone else notice STW's moleskin trousers have got competition? (CLP when he is "getting into the zone")

I'm sorry but I just had to comment.

X

Gail.

HiHoHiHo It's off to Disneyland, Paris we go. Have a whale of a time CLP, Jonny and families. I'd like to go but I'm Cinderella. Give my love to Mickey, Donald, Goofey,etc. I've just been shopping and awaiting home delivery, I know I could do it online but goodness knows what would happen while I'm still getting the hang of this. Anyway I like to look around, I've bought plenty of fish for my brain to learn computer faster. Also Easter eggs, don't forget BST starts Saturday,bloggers.

Gail - TMI!
Marjie - You are doing just fine...Enter/return key starts a new paragraph
See
LOL

Nic

x

Martin - hope you aren't struggling alone and have some support out there. Do join in again when you feel like it - there's a lot on here thinking of you x

Marjie - Also F5 key to refresh to see new blogs - took me ages to work that one out, usded to log in and out all the time!

Darce x

Or used to even !!

Oooh Dozymac, you are brave mentioning the moleskins, but I confess I spotted it too!

Ta ta Lin x

Have fun in Paris CLP n all, lucky you (don't forget Disneyland is REALLY for the little kids not the big ones!!)
We will only be going as far as 'ourgate' this weekend, hopefully the rain might hold off for a few hours so that we can give the garden some loving attention.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and looking forward to FNWC ;) am off to watch the video (will pay close attention to detail Gail!)
Luv
GM xx

arternoon everybods!
CLP, Tash, Noah, Jonny plus Saunders family, enjoy your weekend in Paris, who's more excited, you and Jonny or the kiddywinks?!

Margie, nice to see you still hanging around!

Tobes - whatever happened to the bloggers non-stop oldies list??
Hope all in/going to Glasgow have a great time and ChezNic, enjoy the beer festival!

Rips, enjoy Mamma Mia, fab musical, saw it on my 33rd birthday with a group of 15 other girls from work, was fantastic!

Bills, thanks for sharing that incredibly personal experience the other night, I for one know how supportive these lovely bloggers are so it was definitely a good move to get it off your chest

Seza, have managed to work about 15 inches of the Tom BAker stylee scarf! Maybe you'll have it for next winter!

Annie, happy birthday for tomorrow, I shall most probably repeat myself then but what the heck

and lastly, Bingo, good luck with your new lady

TTFN
Tiggs xxx

and 'hi-ya' to everyone else!
Tiggs xxx

Afternoon each

Chris, have a great weekend in Disneyland. The little'uns will have a great time I'm sure, as will the grownups!

Lentil Lasagne in the oven, awaiting lovely stepson, who's popping over to see me. Back later when he's gone off to the pub.

xxxx

Hiya

How excited did that blog sound. Bet Chris and Jonny and all their family are going to have such a good time.

We surprised our boys with a trip to Disneyland a few years ago, such good fun

No chance of mentioning you all properly but best wishes and happy birthdays and travel safelys and don't drink tooooo much at the beer festivals!!

Two quick mentions

MTF, sorry, I was really rude last night and asked a question then went to bed. Good luck to your daughter (and you!) How are you feeling today?

and Tiggs, have you really? Cool or rather warm! You are sweet!

Seza xx

Hiya!

Just a quickie to wish you all a fab weekend.

All those going to Scotland, have one for us please!

I've just spent the last 90 minutes doing 3 pre-interview test things for an interview on Monday morning. I almost rang the agency up and told them to stuff the interview - what a load of pretentious baloney!

We're off to the Walsall Beer Festival tonight and will endeavour to check in at some point tomorrow, quite probably a bit bleary eyed!


CLP - say Hi to Mickie and Minnie from me please!

Deevs
x

peeeeeeeeees: thanks for the Lola moment at half eight this morning - the good people of Lichfield copped it full on!

xx

Deevs, good luck with the interviews.

Many thanks for the birthday wishes folks. I'm getting to that age when I really want to ignore birthdays but, Hell, I like the pressies.

xxxx

Many thanks Nic and Darce, putting it to the test now.

Hooray. Being an old fashioned ex typist Im OK with the keyboard but could'nt work this out.

Also discovered this enables longer comments to be made.










Again, many thanks kind bloggers.










I've also discovered this enables longer comments to be made.

Hi all, thank goodness that week's over! Crazy!

CLP, what a brilliant thing to do, keeping it quiet for Jonny's kids! I hope you have a great time! Don't get sick on the rides, and remember the height restrictions for Noah!!!!

Anyway, to catch up a bit, I meant to say more last night, but dozed off, like you do, so got woken up by Mr JG, and just shut the lid on this... bad JG no full shut down!

Billie, thank you for sharing, and as others have said it's lovely that you have got a warm family around you now! I'm one of the lucky one's to have a good relationship with my Mum, and I cherish every moment when I can get to see her! My relationship with my Dad (they split up when I was 6), is complicated, and not for here!

Deev, good luck with the interview, persevere with it, it might be worth it in the end, and I hope you and Nic enjoy your evening! My advice is to keep him off the cider;)

Glad to see you still popping in Marjie, it will become addictive!

Hi Tiggs, hope you are OK?

Rips, enjoy Mamma Mia, I must admit I didn't get the film, but enjoyed it for it's karaoke effect, much to Mr JG's disgust, and I think Finlay put his paws over his ears!

Goldie, I think I'm doing the same, Mr JG has a nasty horrid shift this weekend, but judging by the amount of water sitting on my lawn, I'm not going to be doing much out there!

Annie if I don't see you on here later, have a loverly birthday tomorrow, and don't eat all the choccies in one go, and enjoy your other pressies!

Bingo, good luck with the new lady, and Legoland sounds great, one step at a time!!

CSN, any news, hope things are going well? xx

Carl, nice to see you pop in, have a good weekend!

MC, you've sent more of that wet stuff again?

Oh my, I better stop now, or this'll be a mile long...

JG x

Hehe Marjie, but not as long as mine....yet!

Well, I have a hungry dog, and as I'm alone, I suppose I'd better feed him!

JG x

Hiya

Just watching local news and there was a report about a new village shop opening

They interviewed a very nice looking lady who said, "I've just been into the shop, I've got some kids for tea!!!"

I didn't hear the rest of what she said as I collapsed, laughing

Unusual stock that shop is selling!!!

margi, have to say you made me lol(that's laugh out loud) with your lovely long post.

JG, hope you have a nice weekend, could be one for curling up indoors

Deevs, hope the temp job is keeping you going while you keep searching. How did the taking minutes go? Did you make them all wear name labels?

Seza xx

hiya JG
I'm fine ta, just had a hectic week!
Tiggs xx

Just had an awful week myself! Too busy and too many people whinging!!

Anyway, my nieces are appearing in this, but it's all sold out apparently!



Am enjoying my wine too much, but tea's a'cooking!

It'll probably get modded I suppose...

JG x

Aww JG, Have a big (((hug))). Bet your nieces are going to have a ball. There might be a DVD you could get?

Got to go be a taxi now.

Boys scout group are meeting in town, take a pound and a pen - sounds like a chip walk to me!!

Laters

Seza xx

Evening everyone

Just got home, been on nanny duties, last few days looking after grandchildren.
Hospital have decided, now they have younger daughters condition under control to let her go home at the moment, she is over the moon.
Older daughter is now being monitored by doctor every other day.
Her little boy is poorly at the moment with a bad cold and ear infection, doctor put him on antibiotics yesterday.
Both girls been told to rest.
Think we are now in the calm before the storm.

Chris, I am sure both families will have a great time in Paris, especially Jonny's little boy! Have been to Disney World in Florida years ago, had a fantastic time!

MTF, Sorry to hear your trip didn't go to plan. Hope you are ok. xx

Hope everyone has a great time in Glasgow.

csn.xxx

Thanks Seza, just a bad week for me and a bad shift for him, and it's just flooding my garden...need it all dug up and land drains put in, it's just horrendous out there...I want pretty flowers, not mud!!

JG x

CSN, so glad your girls are better. You must be relieved. xxx

Annie

Will be glad when they have both given birth.

csn.xxx

OH CLP - et famile - so excited for you going to DP - love it there - GD is now FAR too cool to go - maybe we should have a blog meet there - it is FAB - I can hear your little "whoo whoo's" now! :-)

Barmy - loving the comment re the "mitchel bros" LOL

Rips and Unc Carl - thanks for reminding me to watch out for steps! LOL Beez already told me loads around the hotel - structions not to go anywhere without holding onto Jovial!

Marjie - LOL



LOL



LOL




LOL



Right, almost sorted and ready for my wee trip tomorrow

Annie - dont forget to be "surprised" at your surprise party (and Happy Birthday for tomorrow), the rest of you enjoy your weekend, I know I will and I will be here to report back on Monday

debs
X

CSN, I bet you will be!! Sounds a like a nightmare at the moment!

Will still be thinking about you! xx

JG x

wow have a great time CLP and J I have a friend who is in euro disney this weekend too

hi bloggers how are we all?

Have a good time Debs, and please be careful, although it sounds like you have plenty of protection!

JG x

One final thing - CLP has tweeted that Noah has been on Its a small world - his first ride! I cried when I took GD on that when she was 4 and saw the look of wonder on her face.....

debs
X

Hey Debs

how cool would a blog met at DP be we could negotiate a big discount if loads of us went

For those who don't have kids they could always borrow some of the people's who do have kids

KandKs

Hiya

CSN you must ache all over keeping everything crossed. Is good news that your daughter is able to come home, I bet she'll be able to rest better there.

Debs, lol! Have a good weekend, enjoy yourself and see you soon

Seza xx

K

Yep, we would bring our nieces, but two of them are a bit hormonal at the moment, so unless my sister comes with us as well, I wouldn't cope!! LOL

Well, tea's ready - apostrophe in the right place I think, and off to dish up...still alone sadly, even though the shift was supposed to end at 8pm...but on call, so maybe he can stay out and escape the late one;)

Back later....

JG x

Thank you JG,

I am so tired now and my feet don't touch the ground at the moment.
Now got to cook dinner and got little boy tomorrow morning, while husband takes daughter to doctors to make sure her blood pressure and urine is still ok.

csn.xxx

ahhhh big hug CSN hope your daughters remain well and less stressful at home for them

Just wondering, why doesn't CLP every go on QI? He'd be fantastic!

xx

I'm watching it too Seza. They're hilarious.
xxx

Annie,Even Clarkson is watchable on this

Any one else got their Ruby Slippers ready?

xx

Hi Everyone.

I am so excited, I could burst.

I have taken it on myself to start something right now, why put it off any longer.

MTF ( who is incidentally 1 today!) xx.

Ooo Ooo What you doing MTF?

Go on, You're Dorothy!!

xx

Happy blogday MTF!
Tiggs xxx

Thanks Tiggs, liking the blogday.x

Seza, no not Dorothy!!

Better.

MTF.xx

Doh, have I missed the Dorothy prog?

MTF.xx

Happy blogging birthday MTF!! xxx

I am NOT Dorothy, but can definately confirm that Finlay is NOT Toto, as although he may have fitted the criteria, I would not want to responsible for that!!

JG x

T'is on now MTF - ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ1

JG x

MTF, Dorothy on now

(and again tomorrow)

xx

Come on MTF, spill!!

Blimin' heck, the damn sneezing has started again :(

JG x

Bless you JG.x

Ok, BST has oficially started in the Mobs household.

All clocks have now been put forward. it is now almost half past ten.

Result, no difference to my weekend, no loss of an hours sleep.

Good eh?

MTF.xx

MTF - I would love to be able to do that, but Mr JG on call tonight, so he needs to be straight tomorrow, and then we need to get it right for him to be on shift at the right time at 10.45 on Sunday!

As I said before, it's a nasty shift this weekend, but made worse by the clocks changing :(

JG x

hello everyone .. Bills says happy blog birthday mtf ... I'm on my phone ...

Love bills Xxxx

MTF, Okaaaay!

We often do it the other way and don't change the clocks until later on Sunday so it doesn't come as quite such a shock

Mr Seza and Boy1 have to go out early Sunday morning so it will hit them worse

I think some of these Dorothy's are getting a bit carried away

Seza xx

Sorry JG :(

I just hate losing the hour out of my day on the Sunday, and to top it all off, Mr Mobs will be glued to the screen with the GP.

Thanks Billie, who are you talking to on the phone??

You all have blog birthdays, try and find them.

MTF.xx

Some of them need a slap!!

MTF.xx

But I could give Graham a hug!!

xx

no ... I'm using my phone to blog .. Yay it works ...... Xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Will look for blog birthdays ...

Bills Xxxx

gotta go ... Getting sleepy .. Xxxx

I love Lord Webber!

MTF.xx

MTF, That would be some dinner party!!

xx

Not many people here at FNWC, where is everyone?

csn.xxx

I think I must have just missed mine ...

MTF, don't worry, we cope, although he should've been home at 8pm, and then called out...

Unfortunately Fridays and Saturdays are mad busy, so he ends up doing routine work later in the evening than he should be! Then you get the pub crowd smelling gas in random places on the street!

These Dorothy's are a bit soft...My 13 y/o niece handles pressure better than them!

JG x

ooops should that be Lord Lloyd Webber?

MTF.xx

My first night off in a week and you have all gone to bed!

csn.xxx

CSN, no, not yet! Watching the Dorothy thing!

JG x

Hello Everybody Peeps,

Sounds like a fabby weekend in store for CLP and JSS. I wonder if Johnny's wee boy will sleep tonight. Now we know why CLP was sooooo excited, why he couldn't tell us and why he couldn't sleep. He's a monkey teasing us like that.

Barmy - your story of the Mitchell bros made me LOL.

ChezNic - I hope you're having a grand time at the beer festival. Good luck with the job interviews. Btw Nic, that obviously wasn't the right job for you, would you really want to work with someone like that anyway? The right job will be out there for you and as you say it'll come along when you least expect it. Good luck anyway.

CSN - glad your daughter's well enough to be home but I can imagine you'll be pleased when both have been delivered safely. Thinking about you and yours.

MTV - don't know if you'll read this or not but I have had depression in the past and the only thing that helped me was acupuncture. It is quite expensive but I haven't taken any medication for at least 11 years and I haven't had any treatment for 3 years now. The acupuncturist can also advise on diet / vitamin supplements which help mental health issues. My worst time is January but each year it seems to get easier, thankfully. Also, when I was first diagnosed I had a NHS counsellor which was a free service. However, I didn't find talking about it helped. You need to know that although there's no easy fix you can get better, it's hard work but you have to hang on in there. All the best anyway - I hope you find something soon that helps you.

Bingo - you're nutty as a fruit cake mate but you make me chuckle.

Clodagh, likewise - you are so entertaining. Hope you have a fab 3 weeks in Dublin.

UC - good to know you're still around - I've missed your amusing posts.

MTF - happy blogday. sounds like a plan putting the clocks forward today but I'd get confused and wouldn't be able to get to where I'm supposed to be on time.

Glasgow peeps - hope you're having a ball.

Marjie - you're a hoot - you're long blog made me LOL, welcome to the blog anyway and you're doing really well for a computing novice.

JG - I hope your weekend makes up for your rotten week.

My EGB is off to do his Duke of Edinburgh bronze practice this weekend. He's soooo excited then he's off skiing for a week next Friday, again he's sooo excited. So it's just me and the YGB this weekend. We have loads to do so won't weary but will still miss EGB.

GailyB

I'm still here - even persuaded mr Seza to do the 2nd taxi run

Apparently the chips were good

xx

Hi CSN - I'm not watching the Dorothy thing - not my cuppa char love. Promised me and the EGB an early night but came on here and have had loads to catch up on.

Bless you, I bet your exhausted tonight.

Gaily

JG, haven't watched TV for over a week now.
Hope your ok.

csn,xxx

Well done Seza - I think you deserve to be let off the 2nd taxi run.

Gaily

CSN - I doubt you've missed much on the tv.

Thanks Gaily, and yes will be very glad when girls have given birth safely.

csn.xxx

Lord Lloyd Webber's not at all a control freak is he?

Hi GB, were you taking notes?

xx

this is a good weekend for mr Tiggs,he's on 12 hour nights til Tuesday but will only have to do 11 hours Sat/Sun (as long as the person doing Sunday day shift remembers that is....)

Now to see if I can find my blogday...

Tiggs xxx
