THE ISLAND. I've been watching it every week. Now they're a few weeks in & haven't shaved, there's abs & some HBFs.

MavisGrind · 29/04/2015 21:13

Evening all.

Have RBNR except -
hope all wenches with dodgy teeth are pain free,
aubergines are exactly what it would be like to eat a slug. Fact.
I'm deffo up for a wench camp, and as I bought my camping equipment only last summer and have been on precisely one trip I think that counts as a wench camp veteran.

In other news, ex-step-FIL passed away yesterday to I had to tell the dcs today. Haven't had to do that before but they seemed ok. I'm glad I still get on ok with TB as it was nice to talk to ex-MIL this evening.

Off to make a cup of tea.

FancyFancy · 29/04/2015 21:15

I know exactly how to erect I bet you do sparks, I bet you do Grin

I agree with you re aubergines mavis.

I haven't camped since going to Reading Festival years ago, I'd be pretty useless Grin

LetUsPrey · 29/04/2015 21:20

Evening wenches. Loved catching up with everything but it all seems to have fallen out of my head.

Parents' Evening went completely splendidly and I am SuperProudWenchMum. He's either on or above target in every subject.

The last time I went camping was in the late 1970s. It's not an experience I'm seeking to repeat. Unless SteveB is reading this, in which case I love camping and am keen to get up to all sorts of things in a tent.

I started typing this about an hour ago so hope I've not missed anything.

Lyndie · 29/04/2015 21:23

Oh Mave that's very sad. Hope everyone is ok. Thanks

Camping novices here too, we hadn't been until last year (preferred hotels and self catering) but realised that if we didn't start the DC wouldn't ever experience it otherwise!! So had great fun researching and buying the gear, and going on our first trip last year. Apart from sleeping it all went very well!! I like the sound of a camper van too.

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 29/04/2015 21:27

I had trouble sleeping on the first night the first couple of camping trips we did. Now I have no probs at all. The main thing is warmth.

MavisGrind · 29/04/2015 21:28

Glad you had a good parents evening LetUs - well done mini-Let Grin

Lyndie - I would love to buy a campervan I need to pay off my car first and it is a real possibility in the next 3-4 years, just as the dcs get too big to really want to holiday with me Hmm

MadamedeChevreuse · 29/04/2015 21:36

mave - thats why you have to put salt on them! (errrr...also like slugs...)

It stops them being slimy and chewy and makes them really nice.

Sorry to heat about ex-fil. Glad the kids took it ok. Flowers

Yay well done miniletus!

MadamedeChevreuse · 29/04/2015 21:37

hear

Lyndie · 29/04/2015 21:38

Well done LetUs!! Smile

I was cold Sparks. In my super duper massively expensive sleeping bag. I'm looking at fleece liners and bringing multiple hot water bottles next time!! Why won't your family camp?

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 29/04/2015 21:43

Cos they are miserable.

Fleece sheets, winter duvets & a heater always helps??

ChaiseLounger · 29/04/2015 21:49

I don't do cold.

MavisGrind · 29/04/2015 21:49

Ok, here is a question for the camping wenches: Airbed or self-inflating-sleeping mat thingy? We have air beds but two have punctures so thought about the self inflating thingies.

Oh, and while I remember - you must watch Green Wing Madame - it's ace.

Right off to bed. knackered. Night all.

Lyndie · 29/04/2015 21:51

Pensions event was scintillating. Grin So bloody complicated. Angry

Sparks that's a shame. You'll have space for some wenches then. Wine

Lyndie · 29/04/2015 21:53

Mave the SIMs are very comfortable!! And better insulated than airbeds. I found them a bit hard to roll up but took one to wencheventlastyear and managed to roll it up myself ok. Grin

Flopsy28 · 29/04/2015 21:57

Hi wenches, remember me?
It's been a tad mad around here and I'm on a bit of a physical down so knackered. I'm still waiting for my spinal surgeon appt. I've been googling because one disc is bulging and the other's an extrusion which seems different.

I've RBNR other than lots of teeth, smears, shopping, weather, FAF photos and blobs.

TTFN

Flopsy28 · 29/04/2015 21:58

Ps. I bloody love camping so count me in. We're camping in Wetmouth this summer. Can't wait.

Flopsy28 · 29/04/2015 21:58

Where the feck is Wetmouth?

FancyFancy · 29/04/2015 22:00

See, I cannot multitask. Holidays booked. Yay!! But I missed the bit about mavis's ex-FIL, started running a bath for the DCs, forgot about it and forgot to tell them to keep an eye on it. Luckily DD was more on the ball than me, but I doubt there'll be enough hot water for me to shower tonight.

Flowers to mavis & family

LetUsPrey · 29/04/2015 22:07

Thanks wenches.

Thanks Mavis and family

Hurrah for holidays Fancy!

Hot Fuzz is on ITV2+1. I think Black Books is available to download as a box set.

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 29/04/2015 22:24

We have air beds. Mine is a full-height queen-size thing & is lurrrrvely Smile

I don't rough it when I'm camping in any way shape or form

Flopsy28 · 29/04/2015 22:28

Me neither sparks, full carpet, fridge and duvet for me,

SparklesRedHotChileLeather · 29/04/2015 22:29

BTW, non-Twitterers. The new Costume Designer is complete wench Grin

It's made me laugh on there so much tonight. In among all the sickly-sweet fenchy comments to her, there's a couple of us have gone completely wench & she's faved absolutely everything & is talking of what she'll put them in for the ep where TM go undercover as stripper hairdressers Shock
