Apologies if I have missed anyone. Let me know if you spot any omissions 😊

Thank you @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf, I have been on countdown since November in service days 😄.

Steve & honey's mum, good luck with your tests & results. Honey, here's hoping you get back down a tier & Christmas off.

@FlouncingBabooshka, how's Mr FB?

I'm impressed, coffee. I started on September 4th

🤣🤣🤣

Oh, I keep missing all the fun...has everyone gone to bed?

Thanks for asking after Mr FB lovely @CoffeeBeansGalore (see, I do read your posts despite @ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf’s outrageous suggestions otherwise). It’s such a struggle for him but he somehow manages to stay ridiculously good natured. It’s all been getting us down lately though especially with all the house chaos...

Good luck to @WhipperSnapperSteve and to @Honeyroar’s for your mum - hope all goes well for you both ❤️

Bed? Not for another three hours-ish!

You youngsters!

Morning all 😊
Good luck Honeyroar and Steve... fingers crossed for you both xx

Thanks Flea. Mum is all done, just got to wait for whoever she’s being referred to. Hope Steve had a similarly easy time and that they get results through and act on them quickly.

Sorry about the ongoing illness and house problems @FlouncingBabooshka ...

I hate it when a miss a flurry of posts.. I have an idea.. Obviously we all have a life outside this game this is better though , but we should set a date and time over Xmas when we're all around and can all play a mega game at the same time. Maybe we could get to 1000 posts in one fell swoop?

It could coincide with the next awards ceremony maybe?

I like that idea, needtoknow, but don't forget it's easier for us who work in education and who get a couple of weeks off.

Not so easy for those who have a proper job. No idea how much Honey's working, for example

Of course! Maybe we can work around Honey and whoever else doesn't get two weeks off .. or maybe we should just stick the usual thing actually ... as someone fighting mn addiction, it's probably a step backwards

Although...

If people were up for it
And if we were to find a suitable date and time, it could be really fun.
Imagine if we were all ready to go and loads of us put up a load of lyrics at the same time.... it would be an absolute frenzy.
That would be fun.

So, theoretically, who's up for it?

Is there a time between the 19th and the 4th where all of us are free?

If you're up for it, say and say any times you know you CAN'T do, and we'll work back from that???

Honey doesn’t even know when she’s working or even if! If we stay in tier 3 I guess I will be around a lot, like now!

We should have a Xmas do! All have a mulled wine or two and a night of it!

Ps, even if it m back at work properly I’m around Monday and Tuesdays.

I think if everyone put lots of lyrics at once we’d lose half of them in the frenzy and I’d get dementia!

😂😂😂 we'd all get mass sudden onset dementia ..

I'm happy to go along with whatever. 🍷sounds good 😄

Yes me too. Will it be a Christmas song lyric evening?

It will just be alcoholic and the Elf will lie about points. All the rest is immaterial!

I hope not, flea. I'm not a major fan.
But I'm sure Christmas hats and general cheer would be permitted .
Are you potentially interested?

I actually think we're all so far gone, onset of dementia won't make much difference to us.

Glad your mum's day went ok, honey. Hope yours was as ok as it could be, Steve.

On the final push needtoknow and coffee.

3 more days for me. Just the social distanced "do" to either endure or excuse myself from . . . . .
Fa la la la la

Yes of course I'll be here whatever the evening will hold 😊
I finish work Friday too. This last week is always a killer!

Right ho - a lyric..

Many people tell you that they’re your friend
You believe them
You need them
For what’s round the river bend
(80s)

You’re working at your leisure to learn the things you need
The promises you make tomorrow will carry no guarantee
I’ve seen your qualifications, you’ve got a PHD
I’ve got one art o level, it did nothing for me me
(80s)

I'm flexible too apart from Saturday (and Xmas day I suppose... ).

Maybe next Monday or Tuesday would be good then...

Re: end of term I've been working from home since last week so feeling like terms ended already sort of...

@WhipperSnapperSteve - hope today hasn't been too fraught ... we're here 🤗
