Ooh Twigs, hope you've had a lovely day, am very Envy although the thought of next week is keeping me going. I really want some quality 'me' time.

::contemplates booking into a hotel for the night::

Spiro, well done on the wallpapering and letting MrS finish off - masterful plan there Wink.

Massive, do your boys not like RH? I am getting away with watching it under the auspices of MasterD1 being very keen on it.

Batman cake is finished, have to drop it off in about an hour then I am checking in to the Academy for the evening.

I have been rumbled though - LordD has had to increase the download amount twice this month. Apparently it's because 'you've been farting around on YouTube looking at that bloke' (he has such a way with words Hmm). It would appear that my covert operations weren't very covert.

::grabs Lucas and drags him off for extra tuition::

Hahaha, just found this for Twigs while looking for something else.

Do you think we could re-paper in here as Spiro is so accomplished a stripper?

I think this pattern is rather nice.

Sadly, LadyD, my boys think RH is 'stoopid'.

I too have been guilty of exceeding my download quota Blush Though the reason why has not yet been twigged.

And talking of Twigs, I am loving the Spooks pic and the wallpaper.

Are you going to do a Captain America or Hobbit cake?

LadyDamerel · 29/07/2011 19:51

Perhaps they just need a little 'persuasion', Massive. Can you bribe them with junk food healthy snacks to sit and watch it?

If I had someone to do a Hobbit/CA cake for then I have a couple of ideas up my sleeve but sadly, no one has asked yet.

If I knew someone with a birthday imminently, probably a significant birthday that required a large party and therefore a large cake, I could make a BRILLIANT cake incorporating N&S, VoD, RH, Spooks, Strike Back, CA and the Hobbit. The idea's in my head, I just need someone to make it for.

::ponders who could possibly need a cake like that::

Grin at the Spooks pic Lady D, I can hand on heart say I have been a Spooks fan since the very first episode, I have just enjoyed the changing hotties cast and particularly the last three series Grin.

Oh I saw a brief interview with Guy's sister today, apparently she's in the next series of Spooks - Spooky!!

TheSmallPrint · 29/07/2011 20:00

It SB Minors birthday soon Wink

SupermassiveLBD · 29/07/2011 20:33

I have a sneaking suppicion it's not SBMinor's birthday LadyD has got her beady eye on., Small

And an equally sneaking suspicion that if she does make this multidisciplnary cake of hers, she will make it big enough for herlelf to jump out of. when it's delivered Grin

LadyDamerel · 29/07/2011 20:39

I have NO idea what you are talking about, Massive.

::thinks hard about SBMinor's cake::

::hastily calculates size of cake required to jump out of::

I just wanted to pop in to say Hi!!!! Also my swim is tomorrow, so hopefully after the weekend, I will have more time in the evenings to hang out here, though I am not going to abandon my new fitness regime completely.

Lots of cake talk I see...

LadyDamerel · 29/07/2011 20:50

I think you'll deserve a huge slice of cake after tomorrow, LadyV. Good luck with the swim!

OP posts:
LadyVenetia · 29/07/2011 20:53

Thanks....I'm also having trouble with RH, btw, though I am giving the family a respite from the compulsive watching at the moment....

And I haven't even bought the DVDs (except for a Blu-ray of Series 1 which I can't even play at the moment, as we have no player Sad)

TheSmallPrint · 29/07/2011 20:54

Yes good luck Lady V, I'm sure you'll find it a piece of cake! Grin

LadyDamerel · 29/07/2011 20:56

Just make sure you don't fall in and make a cake of yourself Grin

OP posts:
SupermassiveLBD · 29/07/2011 21:01

Good luck from me too Lady V.

LadyVenetia · 29/07/2011 21:05

I'm having nightmares about the wetsuit I have to wear.

LadyVenetia · 29/07/2011 21:05

Me in a wetsuit = not a pretty sight

TheSmallPrint · 29/07/2011 21:10

I'd pay good money for a PSM to jump in the water with me Massive

SupermassiveLBD · 29/07/2011 21:13

Why the wetsuit, Lady V?

SupermassiveLBD · 29/07/2011 21:14

But not one spoiling for a fight, surely, Small?

LadyDamerel · 29/07/2011 21:15

PSM?

OP posts:
LadyVenetia · 29/07/2011 21:16

It's a rule that I have to swim in a wetsuit...I have also found out that when I have finished my swim, I have to take the wetsuit off, then walk to a special area carrying it in a bag, before I can hand my timer over to the next person.

Here's the event www.londontriathlon.co.uk

TheSmallPrint · 29/07/2011 21:17

Pretty spy man Lady D. A little rough and tumble wouldn't go a miss Massive.

TheSmallPrint · 29/07/2011 21:25

Have you all gone off to daydream about frolicking in the water with Lucas, his wet jean clad thighs wading through the water toward you...

TheSmallPrint · 29/07/2011 21:27

Please someone find that screen cap. Please!

SupermassiveLBD · 29/07/2011 21:27

Oh! Check out the list of sponsors at the bottom Wink
