The thread in Chat has gone to thread heaven. Silly Zombie thought it wasn't due to go until tomorrow so missed her chance to ask HQ to move it here.

She slept well last night and feels reasonably well this morning.

Let the chat commence!

Waves to Zombie - am wondering if jet lag has hit?

Clinkarissimo. Am drinking beer so am slurping like a good 'un.

Hi Zombie, hope.its just the tiredness catching up with you and that apart from that you are feeling ok. Takes a few days to settle back in dosent it. I always feel very odd coming back home after being away. I can't believe that you have been and now back home again. How quickly the time has gone by. Hope you are nice and warm as it's very cold outside . We have just been to a leaving party for the people who run our local cafe ( where most of my family pop for breakfast weekly at some point ) it's freezing outside. Take care and have a good weekend.

Evening my lovelies!

I have been sleeping a lot. Not all on UK time. Both Wednesday night and last night I didn't go to bed until 3.00/4.00am. I then slept until midday and yesterday also had a 4 hour nap. I have strenuously resisted that temptation today and hope to be in bed somewhat earlier tonight. Maybe. Depending on what catches my eye on late night telly. Grin

Virginia is starting to feel like a dream. It was just so incredibly amazing and not just with ZombieLad. It was also great to get to spend so much time with my uncle. Not to forget the chance to spend a bit of time with half a dozen or so very, very dear friends.

I plan to wrap up very warmly and go out tomorrow for a bit of shopping. I need food (although the ZombieCats are still well catered for). I also desperately need inspiration for Christmas presents. Oh, and I must start writing Christmas cards. I really haven't sent any for a few years and I must do so this year.

I know you all want tales of what I did with ZombieLad but the truth is that we basically just hung out together. We talked. We hugged. We cried. We laughed. He and my uncle got on well and ZLad intends to spend time with uncle. Most of my friends also got to meet ZLad and they all loved him. A couple even remarked that not only do we look a lot alike but we also have similar mannerisms. I'm happy with that. Grin

Shopping. Yes, I did do some shopping. I've come home with 14 new polo neck / similar tops. The average price was $10 each. That's about £6.75 each. I love them because instead of itchy tags in the neck the tag info is printed. I was also able to replace my beloved Timex watch with the same model. The old one had a chipped face and was getting difficult to read. The watch was also on sale so I got two!

I found a vape juice I really like so stocked up on that. Then I wandered into Duty Free at Dulles and found that they were selling 10 x 50gm packs of Golden Virginia for $72.00. That's $7.20 or £4.80 a pack. It's over £17 a pack here in the UK. Oops...

Just hanging out sounds great. You sound like you had the most amazing trip. Glad to see you've got your priorities straight and Zombiecats are well provided for!

Wolfie, it really was beyond amazing. There are simply no words.

mummylin2495 · 05/12/2014 23:59

Wow , you got some bargains whilst away Zombie. Particularly your fresh air treat !!!! So glad it all turned out so well. Are you planning to go again when possible ?

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 06/12/2014 00:08

Talking, hugging, crying and laughing sounds perfect Zombie Smile
Why bother with anything else, apart from the odd [bubbles][whisky]Wine[coffee]
It's exactly what you two should have done.

The other thing we are all keen to know is when is he coming here to visit you just roughly ?

magi will be please you've become a vaper. I think it's great that you're bi-lingual Grin

aJumpedUpPantryBoy · 06/12/2014 10:26

I am a a long time lurker, but having caught up with your latest news I just wanted to say how pleased I am for you

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 06/12/2014 20:04

How's it going Zombie?

I guess you'll have been in touch with ZLad since you got back, it must be very bittersweet for you both.

Thinking of you FlowersBearWine[puff!]

mummylin2495 · 07/12/2014 10:38

Here's hoping you are having a good weekend Zombie. Have you caught up on your sleep yet or are you still feeling tired ? Bet your mind is thinking " this time last week " ! Thank god for modern air travel when we can be so far away in just a few hours
You will certainly be warm with your new jumpers the rate the weather is getting colder we will all have to make sure we have plenty of warm clothes too. My son bought me some lovely snow boots 3 Christmases ago and so far I have only worn them twice so I am hoping for some snow. Just so that I can wear them.enjoy today Flowers

Allalonenow · 08/12/2014 12:31

Hope you had a restful weekend with lots of cat cuddles.

Have you had a chance to speak to ZombieLad? I wouldn't be surprised if a few tears were shed.

How lovely to have some new clothes, what a treat, just what you need Xmas Smile

Thinking of you Thanks

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 08/12/2014 18:32

I seem to be fated getting home from London at the moment; last night we had to be loaded onto an AA truck and brought back! Grin

Were driving DD2's old banger, she warned us 'it squeaks a bit' when it starts, haha darling, that's the fan belt, when that breaks it fucks the alternator, which charges the battery

Do we all think maybe Z has hot footed back to Virginia?

Hope you're OK Zombie Flowers

Valpollicella · 08/12/2014 23:34

Hi Zombettes! Just checking in to let you know LaZomb is all fine Grin

She's just been catching up on sleep and stuff - and cuddles with the ZombCats

IamtheZombie · 09/12/2014 00:37

Hello all.

Thank you, Val.

It's as Val said but I've also had a big emotional crash. Came home to a couple of not so nice RL things that have really sent me into a spiral.

Please just bear with me. I will be back when I can. xxx

ZombieHugsâ„¢ to all.

TanteRose · 09/12/2014 01:02

oh Zomb - hope you're Ok.

I know about the emotional crash when you get back from visiting family overseas...it can be a bit brutal. And then to have RL back in your face too...Sad

please take care and be gentle to yourself Flowers

{{{hugs}}}

ChippingInAutumnLover · 09/12/2014 01:46

Zombie. It's a terrible crash when you come back & your sleep being all out of kilter doesn't do you any favours either.

RL can be a bastard, I hope the latest bombshell is just something Fucking Annoying, rather that Major Issue. If it's Cunty Ex Husband I'll happily send the dogs in!

Take care
Xxx

magimedi · 09/12/2014 09:37

Big hugs from me too, Zombie.

Allalonenow · 09/12/2014 09:44

Ahh Sweetie, keep cuddling those cats. Real life is a bastard.

Keep snug ~ Winter is Coming!

Thanks
mummylin2495 · 09/12/2014 11:10

Sorry to see that things are difficult Zombie and hope that something improves very soon. I had a feeling something was amiss. It's horrible that after your lovely holiday you have yet more shite to cope with. We are all thinking of you.
May the curse of the damnbuggerfuck team fall on whoever / whatever is causing you strife.Flowers

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 09/12/2014 11:11

So sorry sweetheart, stay warm and look after yourself.

The Phalanx is all around you, shields and spears in position.
