Vanilla has given me the great honour of starting the TENTH thread that absolutely no-one responds to. No-one at all. We have not racked up 9,000 previous posts talking about absolutely nothing.

Along the way we've become great friends. Newcomers are always welcome. So pull up a chair and join us in our mn version of Central Perk Café. We share jokes and memes, random facts and thoughts, our highs and lows, we are the card carrying lifelong members of The Union of different kinds.

So whether your life is perfection or;
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
(If) it's like you're always stuck in second gear
(Whether) it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year,

We'll be here for you.

There's
Vanilla who brought us altogether
Toad & Jet who are our meme champions
Better who is advisory
Portia who has a famous boyf Wink
AGL who is young
Jess who likes to flounce
Red who has red hair
Being who's always there
Noone who is on holiday
Legz who makes purple cakes and Mouse who makes lots of cakes
Cat, MrsTP and others who pop in when they can.
(Sorry to anyone I've forgotten)

Oh and I'm supposed to be starting blues clues but had no idea what that was so will do my homework and add them in soon.

You have my sympathies, AGL - I live behind a gift shop that sells the bloody things!

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 27/08/2016 22:11

being DS is taking forever to go to sleep at the mo - was still singing and shouting at ten p.m!

AverageGayLad · 27/08/2016 22:13

Can I drop round then Jess Grin

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 27/08/2016 22:13

Change that to she was asleep. Now she is awake. Angry

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 27/08/2016 22:23

AGL Everytime I walk past, I can smell them! Have about five already. I do enjoy filling up an online basket thought - can't afford most of the crap I 'buy' but it's quite satisfying!

AverageGayLad · 27/08/2016 22:34

I can't have candles here :(

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 27/08/2016 22:34

Down. Finally.

jetSTAR · 27/08/2016 22:40

Sleep is for the weak! so say the kiddos

Bettercallsaul1 · 27/08/2016 23:08

AGL - Take those horrible cheap candles out of your shopping basket immediately - they are carcinogenic crap, made from paraffin wax! Really bad for you. The only candles anyone should be buying are the natural beeswax or vegetable wax ones which do not emit toxic fumes.

HelenaDove · 27/08/2016 23:12

I used to love the odd scented candle . Sainsburys do these gorgeous winter spice ones at Christmas.

Too scared to burn them now though. Being in a small flat there is not a lot of space to store paperwork and im too scared something will go wrong.

Bettercallsaul1 · 27/08/2016 23:18

I like them too, Helena, for special occasions or a treat but would only use the natural wax ones (True Grace, for example). The cheap ones made from paraffin wax exude highly toxic substances similar to diesel fumes.

AverageGayLad · 27/08/2016 23:24
Shock
RedOnHerHedd · 27/08/2016 23:48

Still no Toad then...
Maybe she won the lottery and has forgotten us all is busy tracking us all down so that we can all have a share of her millions???

*TOAD!!!!! COME BACK TO US!!!

AGL* I just read about your housemate, I hope that her and her little ones are safe and that she hasn't had them yet. FlowersFlowersFlowers

HelenaDove · 27/08/2016 23:51

Shit Saul i didnt know that. Glad i jacked them in several years ago now.

Last December i did stand in Sainsburys having a sniff of the winter spice ones though...........its that Christmassy smell.

RedOnHerHedd · 27/08/2016 23:51

I've eaten nothing but junk today, then went to see my grandad and he spat his ravioli at me. Poor bugger, dementia is fucking cruel. And absolutely heartbreaking.

HelenaDove · 27/08/2016 23:53

Red Thanks

PortiaCastis · 27/08/2016 23:59

I have reported the Love honey ad on site stuff it's flashing at me Wink

PortiaCastis · 28/08/2016 00:05

Any news on your housemate AGL

AverageGayLad · 28/08/2016 00:12

No news yet that autocorrected to Jews:(

AverageGayLad · 28/08/2016 00:14

There should be a Hmm there too

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 28/08/2016 00:18

Poor AGL. Also hugs to Red.

Portia. I think we need a pic to cheer us up, and you know the one I mean....

RedOnHerHedd · 28/08/2016 00:20

How is Aidey tonight Portia?
And has gran behaved herself?
How is her toilet cistern now? Did Jim (with the hat)'s friend fix it?

RedOnHerHedd · 28/08/2016 00:25

Thanks Helena and Jess.
He was always such an independent man. My dad in many respects, as him and my nan brought me up. And he's just a shell of what he once was. He wouldn't want to be like he is now. He always said he didn't want to get like it. I hope for his sake that it's quick. I love him so so so much, but what he's going through is undignified and cruel.

AverageGayLad · 28/08/2016 00:26

On the phone earlier one of the staff said to her boyfriend "Have you seen the baby?" :(

But definitely babY not babIES :(

RedOnHerHedd · 28/08/2016 00:27

Oh AGL! I hope they're all ok. Must be absolutely terrifying for them.
