Donne thy robes and come join the hagges round a crackling fire made of ye olde pee sticks, as we run around nekkid, high on snorted baybeedust, and do our straynge erotick rituals on the altar of ye inconstant moon.

Come one, come all as we cast spelles and do any Magick we can finde on our queste for an elusive win.

Bring thy gynne for yon cauldron and help thyself to a laddle, as we prepare the incantationnes...

Sounds like a lovely holiday Aries except for the bit about family and mother-comments and of course you would bring up niece/nephew better. I think that's kind of a universal law.

Nosey Tolstoy?? what about a bit of light reading like Dante?

Casserole · 04/02/2011 08:36

I am not too shabby fanks Moley . And you? Sorry the droid caught up with you, little fucker. I do think Slimming World have a new brochure out though, which now features Mini Rolls and indeed all Cadburys products on the green list.

And why did the third monkey fall out of the tree?

Ariesgirl · 04/02/2011 08:41

Cassington!!

Have a pastry Grin

Ivegotmrbitey · 04/02/2011 08:42

Glad BBB stepped up to the mark stargazer (also pleased with new name opps). Mini rolls rock and can be unravelled to get to the fondanty bit first.

where in Wales did you go then Ramses the great? Sorry to hear about maternal knitting behaviour. If you mum can find the pattern for one of these she can make me one if she wants?

Ariesgirl · 04/02/2011 08:51

Oooh like it. Will PM you. Wouldn't want to out myself

BarbiesBeaver · 04/02/2011 09:39

Bloody Hell . Was that a Cassowary I saw? How the Paddington Bear are you? How is your lovely big bump?

Rie that sounds tortuous with regards to the parentals. I'd nip that sort of nonsense in the bud if I were you. I had months of that sort of thing before I gently told my mum about the whole assisted conception malarky.

How about some freshly baked cinnamon whirls all round? They are warm out of the oven and the sugar has gone all sticky and caramelised mmm.

Mole Tolstoy? Are you feeling ill?

ItsMeortheTrog · 04/02/2011 09:56

rie I too had years of elderly relatives knitting frantically whilst simultaneously looking expectantly at me and Mr Trog. You should start asking for obscure knitted items for around the house - television cosies, that kind of thing. That should sort it.

We are going to Pembrokeshire this weekend and droid will likely be upon me so have timed dirty weekend very badly. Not even luxury towels can help as its a cottage Sad

Ariesgirl · 04/02/2011 10:27

This morning I have posted in Education and Chat. I don't know why.

Where you going in Pembs ItsMeortheTrog?

ItsMeortheTrog · 04/02/2011 10:36

Somewhere remote near Newport rie. Its going to rain I think. I will mostly be eating as well as imbibing gin as am feeling the rattle of metal feet as we speak so its droid time any minute.

ItsMeortheTrog · 04/02/2011 10:37

I didn't mean eating gin as well as imbibing it. Although right now that seems like a distinct possibility. Gin jelly, anyone?

owlbooty · 04/02/2011 12:17

Stewpot ! Long time no feff Grin Lovely to see you Grin

Rie my parents/grandma have been relentlessly expecting me to produce sprog since, erm, 2003 when I got hitched the first time around. Bloody irritating and not helpful. Mr Boot's parents had actually given up all hope so that was easier really. I think they keep forgetting that though he is aged, I am much younger than he is.

Trog tis the way of the droid - dirty weekend? Oh, he's all over that. Festivals, holidays, etc. He Knows. Also, YES to the gin jelly and television cosy, that is a genius idea.

I could really fancy a hot cinnamon whirl now.

BrownB · 04/02/2011 12:37

Is there any Toblerone left? I like the white stuff most, but frankly I've never been known to say no to chocolate.. Hmm BB, OwlB - I've brought six almond croissants in from Costa Coffee [the only thing that's good about Costa in my humble opinion]. I only want one - you can have the rest...

Yesterday I met two of my bestest friends and went to The Sanctuary in Covent Garden for the evening. Day off work to facilitate lunching and general gossip [and a tiny bit of crying from me...], drinking a little wine and other such lovely stuff Wine. I also took today off work as I had the day to take and thought "Fuckit".

Have been lurking and not posting, as I have nothing very funny to say. In fact, most of my life is depressingly serious right now, and I wish I had a way to take it, shake it and laugh in it's face.

If you're interested... My DP's ex is attempting to take their 6-year-old son away out of the country, and the fear is that if this happens, then he'll never see the kid again. She appears to be that vindictive and bitter about him firstly leaving her, and secondly, getting on with his life. So, court looms, and Family Courts seem to have a policy in place that states, if you're male, you don't have a chance in hell. This is a bit all-consuming right now.

BrownB · 04/02/2011 12:43

Bitey - that's the best knitted thing I have ever seen. Grin

ps - ref my last and my stressful moment in time, I think if you leave me alone with the cauldron for a few minutes, I may feel a little happier...

BrownB · 04/02/2011 12:46

pps - for the record.. he left her before he met me!

BarbiesBeaver · 04/02/2011 12:55

Oh DarkChocolateBrownie you really are going through the mill at the moment aren't you? That all sounds most shit. Would a stein of cauldron punch help? I can probably scrape some of the crust of the sides for you if I can manage to break the skin on the top of it. Here, I'll even grate some white chocolate on top for you. I'll look after those croissants for Booty I'm sure she said for me to care for them in her absence...

The TV Cosy ("Modesty Cover") is genius. Mr. B's mum and dad probably already have one to go with the toilet roll cosy and tv cupboard.

BrownB · 04/02/2011 12:59

hmmm... Cauldron crust with white chocolate on top. It'll make everything bad go away? Done. Bring it on!! Thanks BB.

Ivegotmrbitey · 04/02/2011 13:01

That sounds like all kinds of shit brownie surely they can't just take a child away from their parent like that? Lots of toblerone left, help yoursef.

We used to put a towel over the TV to watch blind date properly blind. A TV cosy would have been perfect!

Truffkin · 04/02/2011 13:10

DearestBrown that sounds like all kinds of shit you are dealing with at the moment. TGB's cousin helped her husband through a tough custody battle last year and it was so emotionally draining for them both and really hard on the children too. I'll contribute a long island iced tea to the 'cheer up brownie' fund, it's the afternoon now so it's ok to drink the hard stuff cocktails

Trog tis indeed the way of the droid to know about thee things but hope you will have luffly times in any case and bite your thumb at the bleeping little fucker.

Rie bah to interefering parentals, simply bah. My Mom is coming to stay in a couple of weeks when TGB is away on a stag weekend (luckily my brother's band are playing on the Saturday night so I can distract her with that) and I fortell much baby-related discussions. My brother's (a different one, there are several) girlfriend is currently diffed (one of those, 'I stopped taking the pill to see how it went and oops a daisy, it appears I've created a child with barely any effort whatsoever' diffs) and as he will be third of my younger siblings to reproduce (I'm the eldest) AND I have been married for 4 years now, shouldn't I really be thinking of making some sprogs for her to grandmother by now Hmm

Gosh, sorry that turned into a mememememe rant rather than the empathising with Rie it started out as. Erm, where was I?

Oh, how have I only just seen these little beauties? Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine Wine

Ariesgirl · 04/02/2011 13:19

Fanks everyone. Don't get me wrong about the mother thing - she means well except sadly she's mental. And have also been married eight years so I expect she gets many, many loaded questions from fellow cackling crones.

So sorry to hear about all your shit BrownGirl. It's so sad :( Have one of these Wine

Medee · 04/02/2011 13:22

is the wine glass new?

milanomum · 04/02/2011 13:32

Do you think they made these Wine Wine Wine Wine special-like for the BESH?

chocolatechipbrownie Thats a whole lot of unpleasantness you could be doing without. Has he got equal parenting rights with the mother? Is she from abroad or wanting to go and live abroad? I really hope something can be done about it, meanwhile have 10000000xWine and a snog.

Knitted mask really is a little bit scary. Wouldn't that itch? but <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.it/imgres?imgurl=www.whatthefood.dishist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/il_430xN.57598287-337x450.jpg&imgrefurl=www.whatthefood.dishist.com/%3Ftag%3Dhamburger&usg=__Y-p7ifo0M1Q7ogCmOn9BOl4r-sM=&h=450&w=337&sz=33&hl=it&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=ocdz_X2nBcirVM:&tbnh=151&tbnw=129&ei=dP9LTZTODIaAOrmOgdsP&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dknitted%2Bobjects%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dit%26sa%3DN%26biw%3D1280%26bih%3D608%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=247&oei=dP9LTZTODIaAOrmOgdsP&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0&tx=88&ty=83" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this is quite BESH-like, isn't it?

ItsMeortheTrog · 04/02/2011 13:38

BrownB sounds like an awful situation. Spa with bestest friends is indeed the best way to deal with it. Do you think they've created the wine glass just for the BESH?

bitey hearing about the telly towel for Blind Date has made a dull Friday all the better. That is priceless.

truff the mother visit sounds potentially stressful. Can you develop a strange new habit/tic to bring out whenever nipper-related subjects are brought up? Drastic I know.

By the way, did anyone else see the nice Amazonian lady breastfeeding a monkey on telly last night? Nope? just me then. It made my eyes water.

BrownB · 04/02/2011 13:53

Thank you all for your kind thoughts. Milano - she is Italian. The fear is that Italian courts are never going to enforce any contact agreements made in the UK should the removal be granted. It's a nightmare.

Yesterday we were talking about that moment when everything suddenly became so Serious. We didn't notice it when it came, but everything looked different once it passed. Luckily, my friends are mostly tranquil right now.

Now - on to more important matters? Trog - are you serious? A woman breastfeeding a monkey?

Ivegotmrbitey · 04/02/2011 13:55

That is fab milano! Want one for every drink and can then have a knitted cupboard of filth! Aries can you get your mum on the case?

The long winter evenings used to fly by at la famille bitey trogles! And yes I saw the monkey BFing and also the spider the eating. I hate that sodding programme but get made to watch it every week bu the FDH.

I'm off to the hair dressers in a minute, getting my hair dyed mousey to match my roots. They have got to about three inches already becasue there is so much silver in my hair that I thought I still had highlights! A close look under a halgoen bulb while wearing my glasses revealed the horrible truth. So I have decicded to head back in the more natural direction so next time I sudddenly start looking floodlit I can hot foot it to the hair dressers for more grey coverage.
