I'll be 8.30ish too. Think I will join you upstairs with the lappy then, Spiro.

I looked for Chateau Gisborne for tonight too but no luck. Mind you, have been hitting the wine every night since DrTwigs has been off work - that and lots of treat food is starting to take its toll.

DumSpiroSpero · 22/08/2011 17:21

I know the feeling. We are at the 2 days before payday stage of the month, and combined with my being in 'CBA to cook mode' my food intake today has been particularly appalling.

Will definitely have to hit the Ryvita's again soon.

I've put on a few pounds this week but I'm quite pleased that I managed to maintain my weight until now. Last summer holidays I put on nearly a stone Shock so I've been really careful this time and had been good so far. But having DrT off work has meant meals out, trips to beach with ice-creams, picnics etc. and wine every night and sometimes in the day too But it's not so much the weight that's the problem at the moment, more that bad eating does my digestion in and I feel bleurgh (I have the same prob as MrS, Spiro). Indian takeaway last night finally sent me over the edge :)

Massive, the kids did a 'make a Victorian teacup' session at one of our local museums at the start of the hols. Suffice to say that I don't think John & Margaret would've drunk out of them :)

Shame Maud isn't around for tonight - anybody know when she's back?

TheSmallPrint · 22/08/2011 19:41

She does seem to have been away for a long time.

LadyVenetia · 22/08/2011 20:49

Hello hello - back for a Strike Back debrief after I was warned away by Twigs.... Ho hum

Just on way home from gym (I've been a good girl) - see you soon

SupermassiveLBD · 22/08/2011 20:50

Am I the first, then, tonight?

DumSpiroSpero · 22/08/2011 20:52

I'm here - s'pose we ought to get some party togs on?

TheSmallPrint · 22/08/2011 20:55

Evening ladies, where's the birthday boy? I have a 'special present' for him.

TheSmallPrint · 22/08/2011 21:00

Are you ready to unwrap your present Mr A?

SupermassiveLBD · 22/08/2011 21:01

Are we dressing up then, or coming as ourselves?

LadyVenetia · 22/08/2011 21:01

Hi!!! I made it!

PiningForPorter · 22/08/2011 21:02

He can unwrap me any time he likes! Grin

Evening all!

Don't trust her, we all know what her 'special present' is! You won't get out of that cupboard in one piece...

Give me a few mins and I will be back with my present.

SupermassiveLBD · 22/08/2011 21:04

Hi Lady V, great to see you!

Nice frock PFP, that would bring any man back to life, PDQ grin]

PassTheTwiglets · 22/08/2011 21:05

Oh, suddenly have a nasty suspicion that Small's present may be the same as mine! You go first, Smally...

SupermassiveLBD · 22/08/2011 21:05

And beware of any cakes, I know someone will want to jump out of one.

TheSmallPrint · 22/08/2011 21:09

What songs??!

PiningForPorter · 22/08/2011 21:09

Not Grin!

SupermassiveLBD · 22/08/2011 21:10

It is a puzzle, isn't it, Twigs. Confused

I can't think of a good costume for myself tonight.

Amazing frock Pining - You have an amazing figure too...

PiningForPorter · 22/08/2011 21:12

Trying to find something new and I think is worth a view and consideration for new study materials.

Behold the potential combo of all our existing faves - motorbike/horse, white scarf/cravat, Standring style check shirt, floppy fringe a la Harry Kennedy...

I feel an attack of SMFV coming on.

PassTheTwiglets · 22/08/2011 21:12

I have a special frock in which to deliver my present but I'm waiting for Small to go first.... but I may jump in anyway in a few mins :)

SupermassiveLBD · 22/08/2011 21:13

Those songs specially composed for the Man, Small, as seen on YT.
