The sofa Vs The bookshelf

[NOmeansNO]

the thread for those in a relation. or not really wanting one as they enjoy the single life too much.

awww monty & celtic up a tree K I S S I N G :o lol. glad you're having fun.

no no news on DP yet - as I say until he's back in the UK waters (hopefully early) i'm tempted not to trust/believe he'll be home early, esp as a friends' friend's husband in the general region's been told their stay out there's being extended until november. fingers crossed & lets hope - either way I trust DP will be home for the baby. :)

good luck ninah.

better do my ironing now - hmmm mcdreamy (greys anatomy) or colin firth (kings speech) hmmm.... choices.

oh i still need to see kings speach. tell me if its any good.

i also want to go see jack sparrow(the real one) in the flicks.

ironing is half done.

i really need to square up my house. beachbum as asked if i am free tomorrow!! and finally i am!! he's coming to mine.eeeeeeeek! i'm half hoping he cancels as we haven't met for over a year!i've put n weight, and he's grown a 6 pack!

ninah did you send off your book?

monty - oooooh 3 times in a week is every 2nd night. thats uber serious

right. back to my ironing.

you need to help me be strong ladies. irish is single again.

NMN - OMG @ Irish lol.

DTM - Oh it'll be lovely for you when he does get home whenever it is.

I took Celtic to a friend's family do yesterday where there was loads of other friends so I've come out a wee bit if you like lol. It went really well, then we came home and had lasagne dinner (that I pre-cooked on Saturday) with my dc's and dd's bf. It was lovely swoons and pinches self.

monty's on the so-fa ...
yes hope you get him back soon dtm
irish. what are the odds, hmm?
my book is sitting on a shelf (the book-shelf, natch) ready to go. My friend is panic reading for last min errors in her pjs. No text from her so I think it has the all clear.
Meanwhile, I was on waiting list for teacher training, with a place in 2012 - I was telling myself this was all v meaningful, as it gave the book thing a chance to happen. Today i got a call to say i could start this Sept ...

ninah - wow fantastic news about the teaching. you must be super pleased.

have you heard from your friend about the book yet?

monty - i think you have pulled a wee puffe up beside the marital sofa an anticipation of switching onto it and getting your feet up!

pleased but stressed, you know how it is with something new! been working towards it for the last 3 years, getting experience, taking my maths gcse .. can't quite believe I'm actually on! that's how it is with studying, as you know. Loads of slog, and when it finally starts to pay off it takes a while to sink in. just found out a friend is thinking of starting up as a childminder which would be great as there will be more of a commute/longer days ...
the book has gone in today's post, now if that was sorted it really would be dream come true.
Puffe, nah. She's gone all Parker Knowle. She may even have a remote control gadget for the footrest. Irredeemably sofa'd.

ninah - cant wait till i'm in your place and the studying is complete... i might even have time to watch tv.

i have no idea what people are talking about when people are discussing tv. i dont even know the storyline to some of these things. i had to get someone to explain what exactly is the only way is essex. i seen a part of an episode at a friends when i went for dinner and i did not get it at all? its like some sort of craddy documentary crossed with a soap?

monty - did you get your remote control gadget from kleeneze catalogue. i do like those little remote caddies.

my sister loves TOWIE! I find it fascinating in a repellent kind of way, I only see it at hers, though, I don't have a telly (like you say, no time, so I decided why bother? we watch dvds on computer sometimes)
I lived in Essex for a bit and while it's obv not 100 pc accurate there's a grain of truth there, local dentist with a sideline in botox etc
you texted irish yet soh

ninah - so you dont need a tv license? see.... i would go without, but my mum cant work dvd players. she likes being able to stick cbeebies on in the afternoon on a friday when she's watching kids.

i'm soh. i haven't text. but i did fb msg saying "if your single does that mean your allowed out on the lash".. he's not replied to that yet. but he's commenting on my statuses more . he's posted he's staying off the booze and staying healthy from now on ROFL .. never gonna happen.. i might tempt him to go on a bike ride . we stay a 10 min canal side bike ride from each other now.. meet along the water side... how idylic..... nah.. just doesn't seem right unless he's pissed as a fart

dear god woman - DON'T do it!!!! DON't - towie - it hurts my ears honestly it's not acting it's not real life it's just..... well 5 minutes I watched it (on 2 occasions and the same answer both times) Gllee however - and now you're talking. :)

NMN - I love it - but thought it was better at the flicks to be fair, still a v funny film thou.

ninah - wow good lukc with the book & teacher training. like nmn I can't wait until stopping the study, however if I carry on this rate it will be another 10 years. :(

monty - agreed think you'll be wanting a spot on the sofa soon.

well not much happening here today - had me hair done, got it cut coloured & shaped so looks quite nice, althou was after it being red - still looks god thou. DS is at mums so a nice night in with 2 trashy mags & a 4 packet of choc chip muffins.

soh soh lol. how was beachbum?

I thought you still had to have a license if you have the internet now cos of i player & stuff. or what's that bbc thingy called?

mrsT - guess what... beachbum canx. haha. some things never change. his turn to canx. he had to do a combat class for a colleague on the sick.

and.... I text irish rather than fb.. shit! instant reply.

lol. naught naughty - body combat? I miss my combat - or should that read I miss flirting with marine who teaches combat. :o

you don't need tv licence to watch dvds on computer, just for live tv I think
dunno about iplayer, never used it, computer too slow
dtm studying goes quicker than you think, I remember that feeling - and here I am! (about to start on more)
nmn soh < one hour v impressive

DTM - yeah, he a body combat instructor as a hobby outside his geeky daytime job.

ninah - .. i'm blaming it on you for tempting me. lol. we're talking bikes

i feel like the studying flies in too. i really should be doing some this week. but got work to do from home tonight. and house is a riot. think i will be staying this wkd to do it by looks of things.

soooo not fair :o

a fit mind and a fit body - sounds perfect
step away from that bike

Pmsl @ bikes

DTM - how's that baby? You've so much to look forward to.

And before anyone starts, I'm farrrrr too old to be broody

kicking & moving well thanks monty - althou i'm this time developing stretch marks at the top of the bump - not nice nit nice at all. :(

i'm not riding anything with irish

dtm - just at top? thats good though. are you slathering on the palmerstons?

monty - your dc are clearly old enough you have completely forgotten the bad bits.

ninah - i have to wait till he comes back from his hols now to see just how fit he's gotten in 18 months

i'm trying to persuade my mum to come stay over and let me go see pirates of caribean. she does my childcare on friday anyway. but so far she's having none of it

WE believe you NMN! :o

(erm no the top ones were erm my skirt elastic - panic over. :o am bio oiling like mad atm, good job it was bogof & DP's mum sent me £10 for my birthday.) - no doubt they'll show their horrid faces again though soon.

let me know what the new pirates is like if you see it - had booked mum for this sat, but apparently DB want's her to sit instead so she's going there. :( guess saving the cash will be better for me.

hope everyone's ok.

dtm - so your mum cancelled baby sitting for you to go do it for them? is it for them to do work/essential things? or a night out?

i didn't go. mother was having none of it.

and i am actually pissing myself at you thinking your elastic marks were stretch marks. you have a serious dose of baby brain

i'd come on msn but i am studying tonight

haha don't worry I should be but sooo lacking in motivation atm.

yes it's their belated anniversary dinner out (first year) - to be fair mum prob forgot, so can't moan too much. bit :( thou but ah well.

my bed is calling me. I am booked in to get contact on saturday. anyone her use them? i want them just for riding. I am starting some tuition on something and realised i will need to be to see long distance. How do they cope with being in the open at high speeds. do they dry out. someone was saying something to me about getting ones which have some air lubrication thingy in them so they dont dry out during outdoor sport. this means nothing to me. lol i thought only thing you had to think about was whether or not they were the right perscription.

contact lenses
