[Bladee]

Gleets from cold Chicago... parcel hasn't arrived yet - but asking daily!

2 trials completed, both not as good as hoped.... but still. Going shopping tonight!

[Whizzz]

Hi there me old Transatlantic buddy !!!!!

[Bladee]

what's the goss - just spent an hour on the phone to Slapperoooooooo. Got a fab photo of a deer outside the Gels plant..... have seen 6 so far on site!

Plus a gaping hole in the middle of the car park where a huge manhole cover has moved. You've enough work here to keep you busy for years!

[Bladee]

Phil has just laid an egg over the "hairy ladygardens" thread..... he's gone down to the control room for some MAN TALK.....

[Whizzz]

Not much goss. Got my figure in writing - and word is spreading of my impending exit. Powers that be want me to stay till end july - but want to have escaped before then thankyou very much.
Hi to Phil ! How much beer have you sampled over there ??
Parcel said it would be shipped in 5-7 days - not sure how long it will take to get to you as don't know where its coming from !

[Whizzz]

Just got a text off Slaps - she says 'glad you are working hard' !

[Whizzz]

You still there Bladee ?
MN was off line for ages !
Don't tell me you've gone off to do some work !

What are you buying in your shopping trip ?

[Whizzz]

(sorry to eveyone for this 'exclusive' thread)
Bladee is collecting my huge Sizzix order !

[Bladee]

Mornin'

Went to Milwaukee yesterday - did the Miller tour and got hissed drinking too many freebie samples. Then to the Irish bar for Shepherds pie & guiness!

Dunno where we're off to today - I sit in the passenger seat, Phil drives!

Still no sign of parcel - but then again, it is Satdee.

Have fun matie - will post again with more news from across the pond!

[SoupDragon]

Pa! Talk about cliquey.

[Whizzz]

Soupy - sorry - seems like the best way to keep in touch !


Bladee, glad to see you're working hard

[Bladee]

email has died again! Phah, IT.....

Into hour 4 of trial - best one yet. Will finish at midnight (if we don't run out of liquor)....

Mr Marr has landed - I lost miserably at pool last night - however my game did improve as my alcohol consumption increased..... a linear relationship there!!!!!

Tee hee ..... bet Slapper is jealous - I'm here with her two fave men!!!!!!

Best get back to scooping in body aid - 4 scoops every 6 minutes for 15 hours..... how sad is that!

[Whizzz]

Hi there Bladee ! (apologies to all for using this as MSN !)

No sign of Sizzix order yet ? They should send me an email when it is shipped but not had one as yet.

R was in cafe today before her BIG trip to Oz - last Santa Fe and V came in to with HPotter!

Keep scooping me old mate!

[champs]

okay whizzz, have to admit I have been snooping

oh and dont see why you cant have an msn type thread anyway, the forums big enough aint it?? oh and if you were on msn, nosey people like me couldn't read it

hi bladee!!

[Whizzz]

MN is just the BEST way to keep in touch !

[champs]

lol, bladee may become hooked!!
whizzz.... you are a forum pusher!!

[Whizzz]

She has had a dabble on here in the past but has not yet been dragged in unlike me

She is bringing back all my Sizzix goodies (hopefully)

[champs]

ahhh so she is a sizzix pusher!! my type of person

[Whizzz]

Shhh - don't tell customs

[champs]

[Bladee]

Hi there Champs & me good matie Whizzzzzzzzzzzzzz

No sign of order - but I could only fumble my way into bed last night after a 16 hour day....yawn.......

Will post as soon as it arrives!

Anyway, still have a week and a half here... plenty of time yet!

Lazy day today - I have 3 Sudokus lined up - plus my cr4ppy book! Lunchtime we're going shopping!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh I love working here (not!)

[Whizzz]

Hi Bladee ! Just checked the website & it says that the order should arrive 7-10 business days from the date the order was placed (jan 21st). So I make it day 8 today? I have sent them an email to try & find out where it is up to.

Not much to report at this end - have you done the 3rd trial yet ? How are they looking?

[Bladee]

Trial 3 done - a success bar the fact we ran out of liquor again.....

Trial 4 tomorrow.... yawn..... another 15 hrs! Off out for some juicy tea tonight tho - a fish restaurant called Pappadeaux. They boys are talking of going to the gym for an hour before tea - have told Phil to drop me off at the Mall - I'll see them later after a spot of retail!!!!

Bored now - want to go shopping. Will check in reception tonight for parcel!

Think I'll skip the Margarhitas tonight and have a red wine instead!

[Whizzz]

Sounds good - I'm just having a mid week white wine! Yum!

[Whizzz]

Got a message to say the order has now been shipped - from California. I have a tracking ref but not sure how long it will take to get to you !
Keep on scooping !!

[Bladee]

Pappadeux was a fabulaous restaurant - I had salmon which just melted in the mouth - all washed down with two HUGE glasses of red.... mmmm.

Completed last trial at 1am this morning - then back to hotel but had to get up at 8am to take Rob to site (yawn).... Have segs on my hand from all the scooping - but we've proven the operation of the filter, proven our filter aid is better than theirs and proven that filtered precoat is 1000 times better than unfiltered. smug, smug, smug! We now have to convince site manager that that's the way to run!

Phil thinks that rumours about him are rife in Warrington - little does he know I started them! . Don't think I'll let on to him... yet .

We're heading in at 12.30pm today - just in time for lunch. Then planning to finish by 4pm! What a lazy, short day!!!! Then mega focussed touristing tomorrow.....downtown! And it's superbowl on Sunday (anyone know the rules?!) I'll probably understand them perfectly after 10 bottles of beer!

Will go and check to see if order has arrived - after I've finished playing Spider Solitaire tho!

Take care Whizzzzzz me old matie...... Bladee xx
