The 1 year anniversary thread of the UMN: we're not fussed about Tinkers or Tailors but we do like Soldiers and Spies

[PassTheTwiglets]

Ta-da!

Come on then Lady D, wallop the Champagne over our bow :)

I've not dared to bookmark it but if you Google "RA confessions" that's the frist hit :)

I've bookmarked it on my phone and laptop automatically locks the screen if I flip the lid down so can 'smurf' with impunity.

I love my laptop!!!

Argh!!!!! I'm so grumpy!!!!

For no reason I can fathom! Cheer me up ladies!!!

Though you are not so into Gizzy as the rest of us atm

TA-DA! Did that help? No? OK, how about my favourite picture? It's giant though - one of the few pics that looks better not enlarged, imo.

And if even that doesn't work then I'm sure this will :)

Mmm - nice try Massive. Slight smirk at the side of my mouth!! Keep them coming - although I'll have to creep away to see them!!!

Is that his natural hair BTW or a wig? It is the long hair which puts me off I'm afraid - if I can phase that out of the mind then the rest is pretty rather tasty!!

Best go bath the little ones!

ps been a bit worried that you might think I've got a bit of a thing for tied up RA, it's just coincidence that I've come across these things and thought of you all promise!!

Sorry twiggs didn't see you there!!

Can't see first one on phone / need to log in to screened apparently and the second one is artwork!!! Beautiful I admit but not as good as the real thing!!!

Te colonel hasn't slept properly since Tuesday night when he was up at 5.30am to catch a train so with 2 through the night works from midnight to noon he's not his his usual happy bunny!! But he's trying his best to deal with me!!!

Ps I did rather enjoy your dance and flourish!! That definitely made me smile!!

I didn't like the long hair either, not at first, RP, but it grew on me

Most of it didn't grow on the Man however-- we believe it was extensions.

Blimey Twigs that version of your favourite pic is nothing short of sensational. But wft is that other one

Massive you're so much more eloquent than me about that second pic!!! now I'm definitely smiling again!!

We aim to please. Never knowingly underpunned

oh yes yes yes!! Twigs!!! That ginormous picture is definitely scrummy!!!! Ooooooo! I'm all aquiver and with a massive silly on my face now!!! Sigh - those eyes........!!!!

Yay - normal service has resumed! Happy me is back!!!. Thank ladies!! (And RA!!).

DS is in bed, DD is on her way - oven is on and wine's in the fridge (just need to keep the Colonel awake for a bit longer!!)

just need to keep the Colonel awake for a bit longer!

Are we on a mission tonight then, RP? :)

Massive, I know, it is hideous isn't it? Really made me giggle. But then I really shouldn't as it is 1000 times better than anything I could do - I really cannot draw AT ALL.

My two are both in bed - 7.30pm, no idea how that happened, DD hasn't gone up that early in ages! Now, the important decisions of the day - rose Cava or Prosecco? (G&T as we speak).

And have managed to work out a delicious WeightWatchers friendly dinner that is fewer points than the accompanying wine and G&T - gotta love that :)

If you like the ginormous one, RP, then you might like this very similar one. It's another fave of mine, though I do prefer the dark shirt to the white one.

Phew!! I can admit that I thought the artwork was hideous too!!! Didn't want to upset you if you liked it!!!. Not sure it shows off his good side at all!!!

Rose all the way I say! Good luck with the WW - I lost 3 atone with them before I for married but then reput it on having children. Now I'm happy the way I am toning up with my spinning/swimming and pilates! In smaller clothes than when I was lighter so it's ace!!

As for my plans for the colonel I'll leave that to your imagination!!!

Dark shirt good. Very good!!. But Black and white photos are always fabulous! Although you cant appreciate his molten blue eyes.......! ::dreamy emoticon::

Help I'm a responsible parent and I've got a massive crush on a man I'm never going to meet! Are we entirely normal?!

Wow! That was worth cranking up the laptop for.

I can't wait until tomorrow night to share .

Guaranteed to give Massive any red-blooded woman a hot flush!

Oh, I'm sorry if you thoughht you had to be polite about it, LOL! I was positng it as a "look how funyn this is" thing to cheer you up :)

I meant to say that I have started back with trying to plough through The Hobbit. I am finding it really hard-going. Odd, as LOTR is my joint favouritest ever book. But The Hobbit seems to be endless descriptions of countryside and it's duuuull. There was a great bit though, where Thorin is walking around acting all kingly and as if his kingdom had already been restored - that bit sounds promising!

Wow, 3 stone is great! For the last, oooooh, about 7 years?, I've needed to lose 3 stones and I keep losing one stone and putting it back on again, over and over #idiot.

Right, off for a telly sesh - may be back later but not sure.

RP - sneak a Red Bull into his drink :o

Help I'm a responsible parent and I've got a massive crush on a man I'm never going to meet! Are we entirely normal?!

You're about as normal as the rest of us !

Well Spiro, hot flush, shmot flush -- at this very moment I can report that I could give the LHC a run for its money.

I shock myself, I really do

Speaking for myself, I think this has happened specifically because I am a responsible parent. I need a bit of escapism.

We haven't had it before have we? I'm sure I'd remember.

I must have watched it half a dozen times in the last couple of days and it stills sends my blood pressure up a few notches every time!

Right - am off out now but will pop back later on (wine fuelled - God help MN!)

If it was just my bloodpressure it wouldn't be as bad

Oh spiro!!!! I've already had two Russian ponies and a couple of glasses of wine and then watched that video!! Was ver ver ver nice!!!soppysoppysoppy!

I think I might ve converting to the long hair look (as long as it looks washed and clean). Oooh I'm sounding like Maud!! See I agree with you!! Where are you by the way? Please come back - I don't really think you have any confessions

BTW Colonel may be back but the blooming cricket is on!!! Hence why I'm on here on my phone getting slowly sloshyered!
