Mmmm shame I can't be arsed!

binklebells · 11/12/2007 21:55

Yes indeedy a fur trimmed, sheepskin loin cloth or even, Lee in front of a roaring open fire in a arran jumper with a big glass off egg nog.... anywhich way is good with me!

ahem....44 days to go...

LyraSilvertinsel · 11/12/2007 22:17

in *just8 an arran jumper?

binklebells · 11/12/2007 22:18

yes. A long one...

LyraSilvertinsel · 11/12/2007 22:31

Are you still ill Binkle? I've had a pounding headache all day and nothing's been able to shift it.
And do you know, after a week of being ill and not eating very much, guess how much weight I lost. Nothing. Not a single sodding ounce. it just goes to show that exercise is what really makes a difference to your weight (unless you do Atkins).

binklebells · 11/12/2007 22:46

Oh sorry you're not well Lyra. Yes, I'm still a bit under the weather though not officially ill - just feeling a bit rubbish overall if you know what I mean.

Is your headache sinus related? The only thing that really helped me was with that was those maximum strength sudafed tablets.

I was out for a lunch today with a friend for our annual Christmas 'do' so in order to enjoy the day I ingested this morning:

2 ibuprofen
1 antihistamine
1 sudafed
1 glug of Benilyn

And I do feel quite human again I have to say! We had a lovely meal followed by watching Fred Claus (for want of something better in the 'Christmassy' category) at the cinema followed by cocktails and got home around an hour ago - had a lovely day.

I have to say it is very annoying when your poorly and not eating and then you DONT lose weight - that always seems to happen to me too - Completely unfair!!

LyraSilvertinsel · 11/12/2007 22:59

Sounds like a fab day
I'm at the same stage as you, not officially ill but still feeling a bit crap. I'm pretty sure the headache was dehydration-related because i had it all night so I've been drinking gallons and it's finally easing up. About bloody time.
Poor DS2 is on antibiotics for a chest infection after weeks of battling this coughing bug that's been going around

HollyBerrie · 12/12/2007 07:23

Glad that you are both feeling a little better. I've got a screaming headache that won't shift too Lyra. I also think it was the dehydration especially since I've had a tummy bug but I have started to wonder if it is alcohol withdrawal as I have felt too ill with the cold and then the tummy bug to drink for more than a week!

Binkle...am very much enjoying your Lee in front of the fire fantasy but there are some sticking points for me personally.

  1. He really needs some trousers on, at least at first
  2. Cognac not eggnogg (urrgh eggy snogs)
  3. Please don't say anything Lee.

Door 12

binklebells · 12/12/2007 09:49

Ok Ok, scrap the jummy - switch for a fluffy robe and cognac, the fire is the only point of light in the room, the reflection of the flames flickering across his glinting brown eyes, soft music in the background NO TALKING and just enjoying the moment entwined.....

Hows that?

HollyBerrie · 12/12/2007 09:56

Mmmm don't like to be fussy but was rather enjoying the val Doonican jumper. He would get rather hot in front of the fire I suppose. What are we wearing?

binklebells · 12/12/2007 10:02

silk lounging attire, a sultry half-smile and a hint of smouldering desire in our eyes (or is that the silk next to the fire )

binklebells · 12/12/2007 10:08

oh and kiss-sore chins!

HollyBerrie · 12/12/2007 10:11

sigh....
Do you think I could get Dh a wig and a corset?

binklebells · 12/12/2007 10:15
Grin
binklebells · 12/12/2007 10:17

I could continue with this engaging tale (believe me could I, my mind is working overtime but I have to go off to the my gym session now

HollyBerrie · 12/12/2007 10:33

Oh shame Binkle...not sure I should be fantasising like this at this time on a Wednesday morning when there is so much to do though!

binklebells · 12/12/2007 12:43

Aw Berrie, you should always take time out to indulge in a little bit of what if.....?

Come with me now Berrie, on a journey to 'I-got- loads-of -ironing -to- do- to - clear - the - back- bedroom - before - the - inlaws - turn- up - for - chrsitmas - but- let's -just -say, what if....land'

What if.......I happened to bump into Lee waiting to meet his agent in a quite hotel lounge where I was staying..so I play it cool, dont crowd him, I'm reading the paper and let out a little whimsical giggle to myself at the article which piques his interest..he asks what is so funny....

....I move over to his couch to show him the article...we get to talking, we drink coffee, we realise his agent didnt turn up and now its time for dinner..so he invites me to a quite dinner in a country inn so I go (obviously I'm not married ahem!) it gets late, we drink baileys and feel chilled, relaxed and all warm....

....the air is filled with anticipation. Lee finds out they have a lodge down the road, shall we stay instead of going back to London? Yes, I say, but there'll be no funny business - 'But of course not' he concurs (both of us knowing of course what is to come) so we get in the lodge we get changed into the robes and VOILA !! Here we are, in front of the fire etc etc etc

Did someone say "get a life"

HollyBerrie · 12/12/2007 12:59

Binkle!!! You make me laugh. The asking what you are chuckling at is not working for me. Would you ask someone what they were giggling at behind a newspaper?...we need to think again...something more dramatic....I think he should knock you over in the lobby and have to sit you down and tend to you, hang around to make sure you are alright...it might hurt a bit I suppose but some things are worth it! Mmmm is it possible to fall elegantly without showing you knickers? Perhaps you could bump your head on a door frame and sort of slide to the floor slinkily...

Did I tell you he's signed to Louis Walsh now?

binklebells · 12/12/2007 13:02

Well personally if someone laughed out loud I'm dead nosy and I would ask what they were laughing at!! My only concern with the injury is that he might judge me unfit for erm, action later on in the evening. We cant risk that Berrie!!

binklebells · 12/12/2007 13:03

And oh dear me, I didnt really want Louis Walsh figuring in my fantasy but I suppose he doesnt turn up so no harm done

LyraSilvertinsel · 12/12/2007 13:12

Don't you ladies have ironing/Christmas shopping/exercise to do?

binklebells · 12/12/2007 13:13

Well we do, but we're kinda busy here....

binklebells · 12/12/2007 13:14

Have also already done my exercise - been this morn - so feeling very virtuous. Hilarious actually, they have bought some new stretching machines (think toning tables circa 1990 but not as much fun) - they kind of strap one leg in one direction, the other in the opposite then start turning the wheel...a charming way to spend a morning...

HollyBerrie · 12/12/2007 13:26

Oh I know Lyra...I blame Binkle...I'm so behind now it's untrue and it's all her fault

Mmmm no injury then...this is a fantasy though not a plan right?

Zebedeedoodah · 12/12/2007 13:39

phew ladies, it's getting a bit warm in here

Just one teency tiny ammendment. Can we exchange the baileys for a single malt whisky or a cognac? I hate baileys...yeuch! I'd also go with the bumping into each other scenario, rather than giggling behind the newspaper. Although in my case I'd probably be tipping my Caffe Nero (hate Starbucks!) latte all down his crisp white shirt.
