Lyra, Oggs, Berrie, Zeb and Binkle....OVER HERE!!!!

[binkleandflip]

Hmm, that sounded all wrong.
Where is Berrie?

Mmmm hmmmm

Hope Berrie is okay.

Yummy . Not 'alf bad Oggs. Lyra, I'll [reluctantly] let you keep DT, I prefer a little more beef. Best line in Dr Who was when Donna said he'd snap in half like a twiglet. So who does that leave for Oggs, Binkle & Berrie? Any takers for Lee?

Berrie, where are you? I hope you're ok.

I'm now going through my appraisal forms where they're all saying lovely things about me. That's also cheering me up.

I'd like shares on Hugh please.
Failing that I'll make do with Jake Gyllenhaal, Ioan Gruffud, the male cast of Heroes and Joaquin Phoenix thanks very much .

No takers for Lee then? . Funny isn't it.

Oh, don't get me wrong Lyra, I wouldn't chuck him and his thighs out of bed....
... it's just that he wouldn't be my first (or apparently 2nd, 3rd etc ) choice

He's far too Mr Nice Guy cum Walter The Softy for my liking

He wouldn't have to speak

Oggs, about that 'shortlist'. Is that all at the same time? I'd agree with Ioan and Jake, but can I add Rufus Sewell, and Richard Armitage for when Hugh's not available? And ok, for old time's sake we'll include Lee for his thighs and soulfull singing.

Mmm, maybe not all at once .

You can have Rufus Sewell all to yourself Zeb , but can I borrow Richard Armitage to read to me please?

I don't want anyone on your list.
I'll settle for Josh Holloway from Lost.
Maybe Will Smith if he's in town.

Ooh, Will Smith in the film with him and the dog and the vampirey type thingies..... mmm-mmmmm.
You can have Sawyer, although again, I wouldn't kick hims out of bed...

I've got a might large bed at the moment, but I'm about to downsize, albeit to a gorgeous mahogany four-poster (err, I hope). Still, that makes it cozy. . Having RA just read to you seems a bit of a waste though. Never having seen Lost, you can keep Sawyer.

Zeb, you don't know what you're missing.
Have you been to see your new landlord yet? All systems go?

I'll check it out for you.

I did, however, bottle the landlord. I realised that I couldn't in all conscience do it without having told him. So I'm going to have to tell him over the phone tonight that I'm going to do it tomorrow - he wanted me to interview an au pair tonight, which is when reality hit me. So I then had a bit of a sob in the office and my boss dragged me out for a bit more chainsmoking and a glass of wine to calm me down. So I'm now feeling calm but dreading tonight. Chances are he's going to jump on a train and come straight back. It's not going to change my mind though.

I didn't want to be too greedy Zeb as I'll already be rather occupied with the Heroes bunch, and he does have a fantastic voice.
He did a Ted Hughes play/reading on R4 a while back and it was delicious - aural dark chocolate .

Zeb. You poor thing. I don't envy you but you know you'll feel better once it's done.
Wishing you the best of luck for tonight and lots of hugs.

Sorry Zeb, that looks a bit insensitive. I took ages posting it, and you snuck in there.

So you're telling dh tonight? God. Good luck sweetie.

Just caught up, will be thinking of you Zeb.
Got to fly! Got a lesson in a mo.

Thank you all. I'll be stopping by the white wine and fags shop on the way home tonight, I suspect. My boss (lovely girl) is on stand-by to come over if needed, but I may, or may not drop in here as well, depending how it all goes and what sort of a state I'm in.

Aural dark chocolate sounds scrummy. But I can do better. The lovely girls here have just done an oral dark choccy run. There's nothing that can't be solved with a huge bar of Green & Black's dark mint.

I'll keep an eye out for you. I'll have my fingers crossed too.

Thank you.

Hope Zeb's okay

Any news?

Morning all. Phew. I have the hangover from hell, but last night went well. I told him and it was just a very sad, civilised conversation rather than anything else. So we're treating it as a separation rather than slamming any doors IYSWIM. He's also being fine about me taking whatever I need with me and just generally being supportive. Very sad. So I'll get the keys today and gradually sort things out ready for me & DS to move in next week.
Now I just have to speak to my parents later and try to prevent them jumping in the car and driving straight over!
Thanks you guys. You've all been great, and I just feel that a weight's been lifted off. One step at a time, but I'm now really looking forward to getting into my place.
