And I want to moan. I'm sitting here with a shitty cold and feeling distinctly miserable.

ds is watching crappy Derren whatsisname which is boring and dd is asleep.

What happened to my life?

Why would being as old as you make us understand yoda?

flow4 · 16/11/2012 22:08

Speak like Yoda after 47 we do. Grin

MaryZezItsOnlyJustNovember · 16/11/2012 22:08

Thanks, Beardy.

(I identify with Yoda. I think it's the wrinkles)

Happy Birthday Thanks Wine

In a few years time I will be 50 but both my DCs will have left home by then so I will spend it totally alone.

Wine must be the way to go...oh, and chocolate - why is there no emoticon for chocolate?

WeAreSix · 16/11/2012 22:10

Happy birthday!! Wine Thanks

flow4 · 16/11/2012 22:11

Hahahaha, bless you and thank you. But I dunno about that: I make it up as I go along... Or listen to you... :)

I'm 47.
A nothing age.
A prime number, though I'm no longer in my prime. Or maybe not yet.

MaryZezItsOnlyJustNovember · 16/11/2012 22:15

Teahouse, ds2 has just presented me with the biggest bar of Galaxy I have ever seen Shock.

He is helping me eat it.

Nearly there, flow. Another three years and you will have made it.

Thanks WeAreSix

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MaryZ, although I should be wary of you as a Scorpio. Most enigmatic with a nasty sting so I understand.

50 is the new 30 btw Thanks and Wine

bigheartedwoman · 16/11/2012 22:18

47 is nothing!
My nana always said to me "Big, never think you're old when you're young"
I looked at her like Hmm
I understand that now! Grin

She was the Lady of Dundalk! xx

flow4 · 16/11/2012 22:18

Tell DS2 to bugger off buy us ALL chocolate buy TWO bars next time! Grin

Does Galaxy go well dunked in wine?!

flow4 · 16/11/2012 22:20

Funnys, never listen to horoscopes: they're no match for Scorpios nonsense Grin

And be careful what you say: there are a few of us Scorpios round here! > mwahahahahaha

bigheartedwoman · 16/11/2012 22:21

Feck off flow how very dare you??
Kitkats are better! Grin

flow4 · 16/11/2012 22:22

Hmmmmm... Kitkats... Yes, I can see their absorbent powers may be better...

What about FLAKES and wine?! Grin

Trills · 16/11/2012 22:22

Are you being unreasonable?

Why, do you think telling us that it's your birthday is a question of reasonableness?

Actually you probably shouldn't tell people online your birthday, they could use it in dangerous ways.

Littleblue · 16/11/2012 22:24

Happy birthday !!! Wine

bigheartedwoman · 16/11/2012 22:26

flow now theres an idea for tomorrow night!
Great stuff! Grin

MrsTerryPratchett · 16/11/2012 22:29

I'm 40 today!!! Not wine o'clock here yet (overseas) but I will be joining you in about 3 hours. Wine

CouthyMowEatingBraiiiiinz · 16/11/2012 22:29

Happy birthday MaryZ. You are only as old as the man you feel. Grin

Or wish to feel...

flow4 · 16/11/2012 22:30

I have had to give up wine. It has been making me ill. :( :(

There is an alcohol-shaped hole in my soul...

CouthyMowEatingBraiiiiinz · 16/11/2012 22:30

And YABU to feel old. Blows raspberry at Trills. 50 isn't old.

Trills · 16/11/2012 22:31

If it is your birthday does that mean you will be embracing Christmas fro tomorrow?

flow4 · 16/11/2012 22:32

Trrrrrrrrrillllllllllllsss...

looks very stern

MaryZezItsOnlyJustNovember · 16/11/2012 22:33

'Tis ok Trills, I absolutely accept that I'm being totally unreasonable, on may levels.

I may have to get mnhq to delete this thread so the next time I'm pissed off i can pretend it's my birthday and have all sorts of people be nice to me

Us Scorpios rule da world Grin.

And yes, Galaxy is very good with Wine. Much better than flake, as all the little bits don't fall in.

MaryZezItsOnlyJustNovember · 16/11/2012 22:34

And no, sorry Trills, I don't do Christmas until after ds1's birthday, which I'm not going to tell you for security reasons but is in December

It is, in case you haven't noticed STILL FUCKING NOVEMBER.
