For the lonely faces, in those empty spaces
For the unloved and the denied
For the little wheels turning bigger deals
For all the dreams that bloomed and those that died

Mother nature don't draw straight lines
We're broken moulds in a grand design
We look a mess but we're doing fine
We're card carrying lifelong members of
The Union of different kinds

All welcome we are Vanilla who makes cakes
Toad who is meme champion
Better who is advisory
Portia who has a famous boyf
AGL who is young
Jess well I dunno
Ruby Being and anyone I've forgotten

Morning all. Was supposed to go to the beach today but the kids don't want to go. I was looking forward to it too. Never mind, glorious day here today, I might go out in the garden and read a book.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 23/08/2016 09:01

portia. I have posted, and thought yours was spot on. Am not gonna watch it any more though; it's just become unhelpful and silly.

PortiaCastis · 23/08/2016 09:05

Smile thanks

Although that trifle(annoying) has now apologised. High five, portia!

RedOnHerHedd · 23/08/2016 09:34

What does everyone have planned for today? How's the weather where you are?

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 23/08/2016 09:43

It's bloody boiling here might have something to do with lugging a heavy bag up some steps and I am in my upstairs classroom putting together my reading corner.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 23/08/2016 09:47

Portia and Jess, I have just given up on the other thread. It's now all about whether someone should have outed the OP rather than the important issue of the thread. Sigh. I both love and loathe MN sometimes.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 23/08/2016 10:32

being. Completely agree with you. better has warned me many times about straying from this thread; wish I'd listened!

red. Weather is beautiful here so really should take DS out for a walk......but I want a nap!

toadgirl · 23/08/2016 10:36

On the bright side, that grubby old man charming octegarian who propositioned me in the last thread, has taken to sitting on a bench outside Co Op, and this evening greeted me with the words 'I was thinking about you in bed this morning'

Success with one of your beaux at last, Jess? Wink

toadgirl · 23/08/2016 10:45

Completely agree with you. better has warned me many times about straying from this thread; wish I'd listened!

Welcome back, prodigal daughter!

This is your home now Grin

Kids not wanting to go to beach? Mind you, that probably makes it easier for you to relax at home? I hope so. You deserve a nice day :)

toadgirl · 23/08/2016 10:55

I too got caught up in Poo Crumbs. Not literally! Shock

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 23/08/2016 10:55

toad. Ye-es, I guess..... Lucky old me, eh?

toadgirl · 23/08/2016 10:57

Have you found out if he's rich, Jess?

AverageGayLad · 23/08/2016 10:57

Someone motivate me to go to the estate agents? I feel there's no point,the property will have gone anyway :(

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 23/08/2016 10:58

toad. I think 'Poo Crumbs' sounds like one of those weirdly/slightly inappropriately named food items from Aldi. A bit like my favourite Disco Biscuits (think they finally got a clue with those and renamed them - boo!)

toadgirl · 23/08/2016 10:58

Aw, AGL it's hard to keep up the momentum after one too many disappointments, isn't it?

I think you should go. Keep haunting the place until they get you something. Buy yourself a little treat on the way home and tell us the tale. It'll fill up the thread and we can commiserate/celebrate with you.

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 23/08/2016 10:59

toad. He doesn't look particularly rich....

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 23/08/2016 11:00

Excellent advice to AGL as usual, toad

AverageGayLad · 23/08/2016 11:03

Exactly, toad. Plus, won't they get fed up of me turning up every day a lot?

AverageGayLad · 23/08/2016 11:04
ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 23/08/2016 11:11

But they might get so fed up, they'll find you a place!

AverageGayLad · 23/08/2016 11:14

Grin true

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 23/08/2016 11:20

Biscuit? Who said biscuit?
