Not entirely tasteful, but it's what we all hoped really isn't it?

Good morning, good morning!

Smally, so sorry about SmallBoy and for you too as I am the same with wanting to run away from it too, so I know what that's like. If it's any help, the last 3 sickness bugs MissTwigs has had, I haven't caught - so hang in there and you might be ok! Good tip about ice cubes, LadyD, I'll remember that.

Fettle, a belated welcome back from me too. I don't remember when I namechanged but I was BodenBabe for many of the early threads (but I don't wear Boden and I'm not a babe so I namechanged).

ROFLMBO at Dr Gizzy's Vicks picture - brilliant :o

Morning!! I'm so addicted already!! The colonel is off out to work til
Friday now so a whole week to catch up!! May start my revision with a watch of me thornton!! Oh how behind I am in my studies!

So what is wattpad? In the preceding 9 months yo get over my armitage addiction I have become addicted to spinning (of the cycling variety not the knitting!) and have been honing my body into a curvy size 14-12 still with 34" legs and miraculously my age seems to have dropped to 24 in order to become more attractive should i ever meet mr A!! (met someone who looks very like him recently! Went all a quiver!!!) But it does mean I've been out of the technical loop for a while!!! . So what is this wattpad you all talk about?!

Small - hope all well abd sick free in your house. Missy Fet had that last week and the Colonel yesterday. I too absolutely hate hate sick - although to be fair should Lucas need his brow stroking while throwing up I'd probably still be there!!!

Wattpad is a website where people post their own fiction. There is plenty of Armitage-related fic on there :) We can point you towards some good ones if you are interested :)

OMG, spinning is the work of the Devil. I tried it once - never again. Actually it didn't work for me because it was too easy to cheat - I managed to perfect my yes I've turned the tension up really high, honest, ooooh look how out of breath I am face. I need something like a step class where you can't fake it :)

And finally, A little something for one of our students

I didn't make that, I hasten to add :)

Morning, thanks for your well wishes, SB Major came in with me and was sick in the middle of the night but I had the forethought to put down one of his old plastic backed bed sheets from years ago (knew they'd come in handy one day!) he seems better this morning but I am shattered from lying awake listening out for him. I have spent all morning washing carpets, bathroom, sheets and pyjamas . He's now asking for bacon!

Twigs how was the film?

Fettle Wattpad is a website where you can put up your own stories for people to read. Spiro has a couple up which were very well received . I'd link but I'm on the phone at the mo.

Happy Birthday Spiro I will get you a present later when I am off this phone.

Poor SB Major :( Yuk @ cleaning carpets - we only have one room in the house with carpets and I'm always screaming "out of the room!!!!" if they show any signs of throwing up in there :)

Film was ok but much too scary for me. The original wasn't like that. David Tennant was faaabulous though. I was so scared on the way home that I ran to the car! There'd been a scene in the film where they're driving along a quiet road and the vampire gets them - this wasn't so much fun to recall when I got lost at nearly midnight on a dark country lane :) I have a Very Funny Story to tell later tonight :)

Oh, wait, you will have already seen it on FB - forgot I put it on there :)

It was just all horror'd up from the original. The classic scene (which you ridiculed at the time, Small!) involves the vampire seducing the girl in the nightclub - in the original she is clearly loving it and he just dances seductively with her and then pulls her away with him. But in this one she's terrified and there's blood and gore spattering everywhere - that's NOT how that is supposed to go.

I ended up last night watching Foyle's War until late (Michael Kitchen yum very fine actor) on ITV14 or whatever it is. Next week's episode has a very young looking David Tennant and Sophia Miles. Just saying.

Right. To business.

Ooooh yes to Michael Kitchen! LoL for sure! I had a conversation about him with dear David Jacobs once, but I think we were coming at it from different angles :o

My word - is there any variation of music/pictures not on YouTube!

Oh those eyes - I think I'm going to drown in them!! He's staring just at me, you all realise!! I suppose I'd better come clean - I've been in New Zealand for the last 9 months living with him!

Oh and David Tennant - mix the two together and I think you really would have found my ideal fantasy man - oh my hormones - I really need to get out more!!!

Happy birthday Spiro - must track down the links to your stories! Have you sold the film rights yet with the lead actor already contracted in???

Right - really really must get on with RL chores - however much I'd rather just sit here and dReAM [whydon'ttheyhaveawistfulemoticonjustforus?]

ps you all friends on FB . I really have missed some action!

There are only um.. ...4 of us on Facebook, but you are welcome to friend me if you want - I can PM you. Although I am out to my DH (DrTwigs) and the odd mention of the man is fine, I do try to keep the RA-related craziness to a minimum on FB :)

I'm not even 'MN out' on FB!!! Definitely keep RL and virtual escapades separate!!! DH is fully aware of my obsession with Mr Armitage! and as long as it doesn't get in the way of RL chores, he's quite happy!!!

I deliberately never mention MN on Facebook - would be horrified if some of my FB friends found me on here, though I probably haven't been as careful as I should have!!

I know - I should probably have name-changed, but always forget until it's too late!!! Maybe I should change now, just for the sake of it!!

Moscow Mule - yummy yummy!!! Almost a bit like Polish Cordial! But with added ginger kick!

Tis me by the way with my new name!!! Still here, still addicted and still not getting on with my mundane chores!

I'm not out on FB, but I am waiting for Mr Small to ask who certain people are that he has never heard of before .

Morning, all. Small, so sorry t ear about your disturbed night. I hope it's not too long before you yourself are asking for bacon. Or maybe just

Hello Russianpony! liking the new name but what shall we shorten it to?

arrghh we need a new building! Who has any ideas? Russian would you like the honour?

Russian, as you have been away so long you may not have seen or indeed

Thank you for my candy Massive, I won't be sharing it with Smallboy.

Oh smallllllll. Thuddity thud!! How can I have neglected my studies for so very long?!!! >

Mini Ruski is telling me off as I said I'd be pottering in the kitchen while he builds some amazing invention, but I want to stay here drooling!!! [pout][petulantface]

Help - he's pulling me by my arms - I have to goooooooooo.........!!!!!!!!!!

ps I'm far too in awe of all your intellectual prowess to even attempt a witty new home for us all. [shy][bashful]

ps you can just shorten my name to TheHonourableLadyRichardArmitage-North that'll do me nicely!! Thanking you!!

Wahooooooo .

LordD has been called to London unexpectedly so I have the rest of the day to watch fanvids and neglect the housework without being caught .

Apparently someone here has a birthday, here is and .

Must go and unpack the supermarket shop before the hounds start raiding the bags.....
