the circle of life goes round and round in circles

[ABloke]

Is that Circle.... strange word.

Have it spelt it properly?

Ha! the chicken had a spanish donkey with pins in it... No twas nice.

Yes I have an abcess it's bloomin agony. I have some anti-biotiics for it, thankfully.
Tis very very sore though.

having a bit of crap time at work with people losing their jobs etc.

Boys both have colds atm, I am looking forward to chilling with them this weekend... and it is nice now they are gettingolder as they can wake up ALONE and play their games...and I can have BIG SLEEPIES. Well until 9ish, which is fab.

My four year old has 6 months until he starts school, [worried]

Hope I have not offended you Tnog, I didn't mean to be upset t other day but my head is a bit wobbly atm.

Wow multiple spelling errors

poor you feline ,hope you soon feel better,the antibiotics will soon kick in.Hopefully the pain will subside over the weekend so you can enjoy your free time with the children.

Why would I be offended by you off-loading a little?

I don't think I come across too good on this box, I obviously appear quite differently to how I really am.

Maybe that's a good thing actually

A-n-y-waaaaaay,

SKIRT

IS

FINISHED

It's a bit asymetrical around the hem-line, but what the hell, I'll start a new trend.

It looks ok, even G gave it the thunbs up.

I wore it today with a black polo neck and black knee length suede boots and black opaque tights.

It's a bit weird wearing something you've made yourself.

I kept wanting to stop and tell people in the supermarket that I, TnOg, had with my own bare hands sat up late last night and sewed like a demon on my mother's rickety singer sewing machine as I sashayed up and down the aisles looking for goat's cheese and cranberries.

Wotz - It's friday and I'm beginning to desperately need alcohol

oh my god you finished that quickly and there you were worried you couldnt do it ,now you know you can ,very well done to you what is your next project going to be ???

hello ,i am going out soon reay to see my gd,s show later.Feline i hope your pain has lessened today and feels more comfortable.Tnog ,hope your skirt i still in one piece !!! see you later.

I completely never see the signs of any friction on this thread. Totally goes over my head. Whereas in RL, I am far too sensitive.

Tnog I was wondering if you are managing, are things OK, work wise? We are ticking, but slow for this time of year. I am having a drink tonight. Sorry, but I can't do the drink for lent thing. Still not smoking though. FO, good to see you.

ml - not long before your students arrive, you'll have to teach them to knit, crochet etc.

waves to cc, sparkles, talcs and any others lurkingggggg.

Off to eat a family meal for 4 made for under a £5!

wotz my friend has been told to give up smoking,so i said i will try and do i withher to make her feel better,but not until monday ! am going to footi in the morning and i know i will want one,so its monday for us.Gd,s show was very good ,its only for parents and families and its a showcase of the stuff they have been learning for the last few months ,now they wil start learning for the big summer show,which is always fab,this year the theme is " music from the shows " so will be good.i believe some of the cast from he proper shows are joing them and will work with all the students at the theatre school.

Work is ok, Wotzy.

The workshops we host here at the house are done in blocks of 12 weeks and, thankfully, we seem to have bookings for the next 6 months, also we've also applied for an arts grant and eventually hope to find a more suitable venue, so fingers crossed.

I'm considering going back to doing commissioned work again, something I've put on a back burner whilst concentrating on other things[in the shape of my nearly a teenager ds] but that can be all-consuming, so I'll have to consider that carefully.

Art for the most part seems to remain untouched by economic boom and bust.

BIL is an architect and he's definitely noticed a downturn in work, hopefully he can ride out the recession.

I'm just about managing to stay off the demon drink but it's very, very hard.

Fortunately dh has joined me, so at least I'm not too tempted by the sight of him knocking back a glass of wine at dinner, because then I really would cave in.

That's good news tnog, please you can see a clear way ahead for you both, to make a future doing the workshops.

ML - I'm thinking of you giving up smoking today. Be strong, are you going to get some patches?

Login off in a min, to get on with some work, will lurk till 9am, then after that I'll have to catch up later.

Morning, all.

The weather is very flippin' peculiar, last night we had hail storms, this morning, sun..ah well.

Was up at 6.30 and Molly greeted me enthusiastically, lots of tail wagging and rubber-nosing, so after a quick splash of cold water to wake me features up we headed for the beach.

Not another soul to be seen as we trotted along side by side.The sun started rising up above the sea and the waves gently lapped the shore, I slowly began to unfurl in the old brain department and began to notice that Molly had disappeared from my side.

PANIC!

I called her name, tried to whistle [I've lost the ability to whistle..couldn't do it, I just kind of made a strange shhhhh noise]

Retraced me steps and still no sign.I actually began to visualise having to explain back home that I had lost dogo.

Suddenly, after about 5 minutes although it seemed liked 5 hours, the mutt came bounding at full pelt out of the sand dunes and sort of skidded to a halt infront of me, panting.

'Molly where've you been?' I asked in a very stern voice, 'I was very worried, you bold girl'

She nuzzled my leg and wanted me to pet her, I tried to remain aloof, she nuzzled some more...I ignored, and then she actually managed to place both paws on my legs and gazed at me with her big brown soulfull eyes and I melted.

I have gone completely gaga over a bloody dog.

The donkey's gettin' very jealous.

Good luck, M, with the no smoking.

She's obviously feeling bolder in her surroundings. What a lovely short story. Can't you take the donkey for a day trip out?

I had a shitty weekend and need a dog to keep me sane and love me unconditionally. It would be great if it could do the ironing and cook too.

tnog you will have to let the donkey wander around with you ,or better still ,you can sit on the donkey whilst taking the dog for a walk ! Yes wotz i have some patches ,but only a few as they were left over from one of my previous attempts.I am going to try hard today and already have the patch stuck on my bum rear !

I went into MN today and fecking hells bells, there are some right nasty bints quiches who all lick arse pile in! I thought MN had cleared out the old lockers. Only goes to remind me of what is vile in this place. I can feel my time ending here soon. Sorry, but I'm not in a happy mood, hopefully it will pass and sanity will come once more. It could just be PMT of course!

sorry i have missed you wotz ,i was here all the time but on scuttle ! yes there are nasty people around everywhere arent there.hope your mood improves for you tomorrow .

but its nice to know there are far more nice people than nasty !!

Ah ml - you are forever optimistic, it is a truly endearing part of your character. Shove your shoulder near the monitor and shrug, it might just rub off on me a little.

Wotz there many nasties but I think, hmm actually I have no idea what I think. Mn is weird. I have not had a good look around for some months,through choice and this works for me.

lol @ dog being bold girl

My tooth-ache has finally gone, I had give up tea for a day or two, every-time I drank it would hit my nerve..........[agony emoticon] so I have been sipping Kiora from a Spongebob cup.

Cat is deffo pregnant, I think. estimated date of delivery, erm middle of April. I had no idea how they managed it so easily. they looked like they were doing it all wrong, but she is getting fatter by the day and her teats are BRIGHT pink, I wish I had someone else cats teats to compare her ones with.... [naive]

Work was very difficult last week. What do you say to people losing their jobs? People were crying etc.

I think I am a tad depressed, I almost cried when Zoe Salmon was kicked off Dancing on Ice. WTF?

Another early bleary-eyed walk this morning with Mutty, she managed to roll herself in rabbit poo.

Wotzy, take a look at, The Weaver Of Grass, blog, it may help cheer your chins.

It may help cheer you chins?

Are you implying Wotz has more than one chin or is that an Irish saying that I have never heard of?

You must be seriously hormonal, feline, if you're blubbing at eliminations on Skating On Ice.

I can't STAND Zoe Salmon.

We watched, Ghost Town, at the weekend and I cried buckets at the end of that.

G fell about the sofa laughing at me.

[grins]

I'm implying nothing.

It's a TnOg saying.

I know, I don't even know who the feck she is tbh. I need my depo injection, it gives me lots of good hormones, happy hormones, well it used to......

My DS1 is great company, I am very very proud at how he is turning out, I know he is only 8, almost 9 and things could change but at present he is very thoughtful, he is he fun, he can be naughty to his little brother but most of the time, he is very very good.

[proud mummy moment]

I am shitting myself about these kittens. [eek]

That's so good to read...you know that your ds is turning out good.

He obviously has good genes.

Will you not just sell the kittens?
