.. know, Dsass - it's pretty niche, but as you know, I am a muso and a huge PF fan. So, it really was such a surreal event. She's also an actress and a singer in her own right. You might (just might) have heard of a band called Blue Pearl? "Take me dancing naked in the rain". Shit....

...feel old now! My proudest claim to fame has gone tits up!! Noooooo!!! Cue Squidgy face and again . Only kidding!

...feel suitably chastised Oh no...

....got a squidgy ... But all is not lost...

...can redeem myself slightly and say I have heard of the song "Take me dancing naked in the rain"

No, Dsass, noooo! Far from chastisement - just iillustrating! I'm an ageing rocker in her 40's......

..suspect everyone else is younger, that's all!! God, if only, I could turn that clock back! !

Ah...well you're wrong...am early 40s...guess just different kinds of misspent youth going on, LOL My clock is very much turned back...thankfully I look younger than I am and act younger than that, so yeah, age is immaterial ...MHO Dcaz x

Aw, please tell me I haven't upset you, Dsass? Don't even know you, but love you to bits from your funny posts. Honestly! The only reason I moan about ageing is the toll that bereavement has taken on me. Shock/ stress etc - it's horrible - accelerated ageing, as I've found it, is a horrible fact of life. It's bloody cruel - I hate looking in the mirror now. Don't recognise myself. XX

Morning

-t's cloudy and a bit miserable here....oh wait, what now? Ah yes, it's a Bank Hol - of course it's gonna be grey!

Noooooo.... You didn't upset me Dcaz, I was just saying am similar age to you Don't worry am not about to do an actual flounce from our gorgeous thread xx

So what's everyone's plans for today?

'm the wrong side of 40 too. Getting my boys back this afternoon so just getting some chores done before then. I've washed the kitchen floor and am on my second load of washing so not doing too bad.

Didn't get up till 11:30 😱
Must of needed it.
Been for a hospital appointment and gift shopping in town. Got a bottle of wine for tonight.
Your band night sounds excellent and a total buzz for you caz
Next month if my big 40 . Got told the other night by a gay lad I look well for my age 😂

...took myself off to bed this aft...read, relaxed, recharged!

Ooh the big 4-0! Any celebrations planned drinkswine?

Plenty of wine , going away and a ghost hunting trip 👻

...can't resist this - woooooooooo (!!) ...sounds fab!

...have just made up a very silly ode to the crappy Bank Hol weather:

A certain Sassy Lassy wanted to go out,
Down came the rain and Sassy started to pout!
Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain,
And a certain Sassy Lassy could drink wine outside on her bench again!

Cheers 😂

Evening all.

..'m late to the party today.
...was on a a bit of a downer earlier, but have pulled myself up by the bra straps and
..'m ok again now! And..crucially.....
..have wine too! Cheers!

DSassy - unMumsnetty hugs & XX

drinkswine yay - welcome back!

Ps drinkswine - ghost hunting trip sounds great!
..love a bit of wooo aswell.

-t's good to see you Dcaz

..was a bit worried you'd disappeared!

..'m glad you have strong and supportive bra straps! ...have big girl pants this end which I pull on from time-to-time....up high, a la Simon Cowell!

So....getting back to our roots for a mo and just for you Dcaz to make sure those bra straps stay strong!

....used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up (hey!)
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake your ground

You held me down, but I got up
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
Dancing through the fire
'Cause I am the champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!

Got some Bulgarian red chillin in the fridge.
Criminal minds and wine .
Never tasted the same here. When I'm sat out in our garden out there , under the grape vines, listening to the crickets and wolves howling in the hills. Bliss .
Here , traffic and neighbours arguing

Excellent song Sassy - thank you!
..also love Sam Bailey's Skyscraper - gives me goosebumps!

drinkswine - you prefer red wine chilled? So, are you from Bulgaria? Never been myself, but know someone who loves the country. Sounds awesome!

LOL I can def see how arguing neighbours and traffic isn't quite the same as crickets and wolves drinkswine!!!

Oh heck - sorry, hadn't realised, Dsass - I'll check in a min. Thanks!

And, ...

..almost forgot....
...found my first shopping list today! Squeee!!..

..wondering if it's yours, Sass?

..t's in my handbag - bear with me!!

Was this your shopping list, Dsass??!!

..know you know how to spell pineapple really...and did you paint your decking? Or did you drink too much 'fizz'??

Crikey....substitute 'decking' for 'bench' and yep, it could be mine!

Well, you got it covered as far as I can see - all the essentials but......

..'d like to know why you changed your mind about vinegar?? But, more importantly, have you scoffed all the donuts??? Because....

...really, really fancy a donut now!!

...don't wanna do a Sassy and get a craving....but...

...could seriously go a donut right now!!!

...changed my mind about the vinegar because I wanted white wine vinegar and I wanted a specific type not at that shop!

...want a latte

may or may not be pissed
