BBB You're an example to us all Wink

That's some leaf, Fatty

Allalonenow · 10/07/2016 01:33

Hope you are enjoying your weekend Zombie Sunday lunch out will be a real treat.
Lovely that you have got a friend staying with you for a few days, a teenager will really perk you up, teenage girls never stop talking!!

Grey overcast damp and gloomy here.

That's a mahoosive leaf you've found, nearly big enough to be an umbrella Smile

When I grow up I want to be just like B3 too!!
Mwhaaa haa haa haaaaa

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 11/07/2016 01:06

omfg!

I am not a grown up < can't bring myself to post that in capitals but please read it as s h o u t i n g ! >

allalone I'm disappointed, you're old enough to know better Grin

I'm sitting here, drinking my 15th glass of wine tonight, rolling my 25th fag.

And look at the time ffs!

How bad do I have to be?

Sheesh!

Mummylin · 11/07/2016 13:27

Who wants to act like a grown up all the time, that's no fun !
How is your dd doing BBB ? My niece has three weeks to go.
No car still in the drive, first Rac man started it first time, Dh went to start and again it wouldn't , by the time second Rac man came out the Vauxhall suppliers were closed so Dh can get the part this afternoon. Nothing serious so can soon be fixed.

Allalonenow · 11/07/2016 23:10

Grin Grin
You are right B3 I am old enough to know better, especially as you are a mere slip of a gal. Smile
I'm as old as Old Mother Hubbard, and probably old enoUgh to be your mother B3!

Hope your car is back on the road now lin what a do you have had with it!

Zombie will be here soon, giving us the low down on teen chatter, it's a whole new language to learn.

Dreadful weather here, pouring with rain all day, I pity the poor people on camping holidays.

Mummylin · 11/07/2016 23:38

Yes allalone Dh managed to buy the part and fix it so all is well again ! It's so annoying when things go wrong isn't it, but it was made easier by second Rac man doing a diagnostic test so could pinpoint the problem for us.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 11/07/2016 23:45

With your cooking abilities and foodie knowledge I really wish you were my mother Allalone, somehow the sums don't quite add up Grin

Zombie hope you're not too shattered by your week end socialising.

DD has about 5 weeks to go lin, I'll need lots of tips.

Oh, I mean hacks. I think. Do I?

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 13/07/2016 23:29

You're about half way through hosting your teenage visitor Z c'mon spill!

You must have something to tell us ...

DD baby is apparently 3/5 engaged.

Yikes? or not!

Allalonenow · 14/07/2016 00:56

Gosh! Not too long to go for your DD then B3! Has she got her bag packed? I'd suggest chocolate, soft fruit/cereal bars, little boxes of fruit juice with straw, cooling wet wipes, lip salve.

Glad your car was fixed lin, so handy to have someone mechanically minded isn't it. I miss ExP for that type of thing, he could fix anything.

That's a sweet poem Mouse what a kind thought to post it.

How are you getting on Zombie? Bet you are having loads of fun!

IamtheZombie · 14/07/2016 11:34

Hello Phalanx!!

I have not been ignoring you. I have had no internet connection since 12.32 pm last Friday. At that time, Sky transferred me to fibre broadband and succeeded only in cutting me off. After a couple of days of angst, numerous phone calls and a visit from an Openreach engineer at 09.00 am Sunday morning the problem was diagnosed as an inadequate router (too old and outdated to cope with high speed connection). Replacement router has finally arrived and been installed.

Today is chemo day so it will take me until at least Saturday or Sunday to get caught up on everything.

Visitor is fine (and delightful company) AND her mum is arriving late Saturday evening.

I'll report in more detail when I can.

Chemo has been deferred until Friday, 22nd July. Long story short, there's a problem with one of the machines in the pharmacy that mixes the chemo and they are waiting for the part needed to fix it. Meantime they're having to source some of the chemo from other hospitals. They were unable to get any TDM1 for me for today.

Sigh.

Oh balls in a basket Zombie that's a bloody pain.

Susiesoap7 · 14/07/2016 18:31

Hi there zombie! What a pain for you, no internet, no chemo, at least you have had some company, someone to have a moan to!! I would be lost without my internet I think it's my life, that's a bit sad isn't it lol.🌸🌸

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 15/07/2016 17:37

Glad your internet is back on and that your guest has been good fun.

It must be so fragmenting to be all keyed up for your chemo and then have it cancelled on the day, sorry for that.

I'm a bit buried in choosing house stuff at the moment. I have to keep reminding myself that this knob or that knob is not going to change my life Grin

Mummylin · 15/07/2016 18:33

Glad you have got your internet back, I hate it when ours goes off for any reason, what a blow about your chemo, let's hope everything goes ahead next Friday. Do you still have your guests ? I bet it's been lovely to have someone to natter to in the evenings.

Fiderer · 16/07/2016 08:19

Good-oh for lovely visitors.

Odd how one feels without internet. Ours was knocked out in the village on & off for days recently after daily thunderstorms.

Was bliss in the office Grin but a right pain at home. Made worse by the chorus of "Muuhuum, my internet's down "from the FidPests

HerRoyalFattyness · 16/07/2016 09:52

No Internet is awful. I had no nternet around the time DS2 was due. lin and a few others were very frustrated waiting for news Grin

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 19/07/2016 19:03

Hope you're holding up in the heat Z, I imagine your house is quite cool being on a hill.

Has your old gardener chap been round yet?

Mummylin · 20/07/2016 11:49

Hope you are all coping in this heat, far too hot to do any housework for me ! Zombie hope you are taking it easy in this heat and not overdoing things. Do you still have visitors or have they gone now ?
BBB how is the house coming along ?

iklboo · 20/07/2016 19:21

Hope you're doing OK Zombie & that you can manage to get some sleep in this heat. I put cold water in a hot water bottle & stuck it in the freezer for a bit. When I went to bed I put it in my pillow case. Lovely.

HerRoyalFattyness · 20/07/2016 20:12

Poor DS2 doesn't like the heat so much. He's been a bit of a grump these last couple of days.

How are you zombie? not melting are you?

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 20/07/2016 22:43

House is getting there lin thanks, but seems slow. Have to keep reminding myself that, although we've been in the caravan for a year, Shock work didn't start until October.

It is going to be really nice though Smile

That's a fab idea ikl, I saw the tip about freezing hot water bottle but hadn't thought to put it in pillow. Thanks Flowers

Feel for you HRF, so difficult when littlies are too young to understand reasons for discomfort.

Susiesoap7 · 21/07/2016 21:18

Good luck for tomorrow zombie, sending love and good healing vibes your way 🌸🌸🌸

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 22/07/2016 08:20

Hope all goes well today.
