[mellow2]

New thread for August.

Seen it!

SJ - is paneer as easy to make as the recipe suggests? Tried the kids on it and they loved it.

Hi

you lot talking about recipes again?

Paddle/Kew - do either of you have an old pair of wellies which might fit DS2? Any size between 4-9 will do - I reckon he'll need some in Camber and don't think we have any that tiny!

speaking of which SJ would love teh recipe too as well as the one for chapati bought the flour ages ago TIA

mellow sorry about the delivery hate hate those
am waiting for dd's bedding too bt so far no sign must contact company again

Hi sorry |I haven't been on much but up to my proverbial eyes at work

Just to let you know that my right boob popped out of my cozzie last night at the swimming pool!!!

SBS I have some ladybird wellies think size 5 if you want it

sausage, sorry but all dd's small ones have been given away or died (peppa pig @ glasto). she's now in an 11!

i am completely over-run with bags! how the hell do you do it with a family of 5?

not sure it'll all go in teh car!

what time R U travelling Paddle?

We just stuff all our collectives clothes & stuff into one huge case and then throw woggles/coats/buggy/umbrellas on top of it!

Paddle - we took only two small draggy luggage bags thingy. What have you packed??

sausage do you want the wellies or not? size 5

btw MN are giving away Clearblue new pregnancy test for trial, I got one apparently the big innovation is it tells you how long ago you conceived, obviously for those who have so much sex they forget when/ who it might have been Lordy!

i have one case with clothes/bed linen/towels.

1 bag with wellies/waterproofs/sunhat/sunblock

1 bag with nappies/swimming kit (float jacket etc)/potty liners/wet wipes etc

1 bag with dd's duvet/pillow/blanket and my own personal special pillow

1 cool bag of food
1 other food bag (cereal/tea/coffee/sugar etc)
1 other bag with washing up liquid/teatowels and other misc kitchen/cleaner stuff

1 small bag with few dd's toys/books etc

daysack with camera/ipod/phone charger and incar DVD.

think that's it!

sfx...
lordy, i could probably pinpoint the exact hour of my conceptions
no worries, we got waylaid in the pizza aisle!
thanks for walk along towpath - enjoyed it.
grand to see you, paddle and susie and offspring earlier.

ros, enjoy your fame!

sausage..must catch up when you get back. have been up to the wotsits in work, too. bet you're looking forward to your hols.

just been round to my friend next door who bought me a very nice bottle of vino for keeping an eye on her place while she was away.
glug-glug hour is going to be particularly enjoyable tonight!

oh paddle, if you've got a minute to email me those numbers, that'll be fab. no worries if you don't get round to it, tho. sure you're packing the kitchen sink by now...

enjoy your week the camber crew
have a fab evening everyone
toodlepip

lol right boob escapee, sausage
dd is always yanking down my cossie to show off my sad spaniel ears pert bosoms

and. kew, they weren't just cakes, they were (adopt sultry tone) m & s cakes..

is it normal to be knackered by the preparation for a holiday?

steppie, i've texted my friends and will forward their numbers when they get back to me.

if i think of anyone else i'll add them in.

I thought I'd deign to come and chat with you

sausage, I've just left a message on your mobile, I've got some size 5 Bob the Builder wellies if you still need some.

Paddle, I find I'm always more tired by the time we start our holiday just cause of the packing!

Think I'm in for a fun evening, ds & dh both out like a light!

thanks a million, paddle much appreciated
have a lovely week

ros, you might have to resort to watching big brother..yes, yes, i know i'm the only sap watching it..

steppie, sorry but BB is my idea of television hell . Thank god for Sky+!

exactamundo, my friend..
that's why it's so good
oohhh,just time to pour another glass....

i'm watching bb! i swear i will not every time but i always get sucked in when it's down to the final few.

i just know i won't sleep well tonight, keep running scenarios on how i will get my million bags down the stairs into the car and keep dd under control.

sfx, it was so cute today when our dds declared each other "best friends". have ticked that off "dd's list of things to achieve" now.

i'm loving lisa...she's nuts

but i want darnell to win...there's a good soul under all that angst

oh god really?! lol @ angst and also pmsl at arse! but really, he drives me nuts with his whole "pity me but don't you dare pity me" bullshit!

i actually hate them all!

Lisa is botox queen I am sure. She just has this whole fixed expression that I imagine a blow up sex doll has

oh god, there's been much mention of the arse this evening.."no, darling, we say bottom."
dd:"no, mummy, you say arse"

yes, i know, but i like him and think he's got people pretty sussed. give him a break - he had to put up with rachel asking if he was black, fgs!

i like rex...love how he winds people up and doesn't care, but again, at heart, think he's a decent person. hate how he is with "my girlfriend", tho..
oh lord, better go and watch it...

Paddle - we are quite relaxed about packing. The principle is that all you really need are your passport (not in this case I guess) and your credit card, though these days it's a bit more complicated with kids running circles around you ... The most organised we were was to have cooked and frozen some bolognese sauce the day before, and took it with us in the car with it defrosting and keeping the rest of the stuff (ie bananas) cool. Is that organised or what? I was pretty impressed myself.

Is there anything else on telly?
