I shall call him Shiney and he shall be mine and he shall be my Shiney. Come on, little Shiney. [stung by jellyfish] Ow! Bad Shiney, bad Shiney!

Hello.

I am Mittz.

Today, I am mostly eating....Granola...

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggggs Fab to see you x

Poor DS . Is he ok now though?

Oh iggy its fab to see you.
Shiney - not trying to piss on your parade wrt corsa, just saying watch your back. an unreliable fucking expensive car could be a problem. Your hoped for car has a few things in its favour though - lower milage then my car for a start. mechanic bf for a second.

does this mean there is a d&v bug going round the country?

hi iggi

Dem - i only meant a tenner or something

Oh I'm coming over all peculiar . Thank you for the welcome!
Never mind my DS, Bella, I'm the one who had to touch it!
I'm disappointed to not see any cheap first class train tickets for November from where I am, I fancied arriving in style and pretending to be Miss Marple (without the murder).
Had a rare bit of good luck today with MOT work only coming to £50. Not bad for a 24 year old!

to be fair i have a max budget of £20 for close family members this year. it is a tight one. but they are getting soft parcels so thus it will seem bigger in finished result rather then constituent parts. ds will be an exception - fc needs sorting.

So what's the goss, who is shagging who, who's eating cake and who's eating carrots?
(I have a limited idea of gossip, grew up in a small town).

car or mechanic Iggi?

DEM, I think so. DS's nursery has had some of it. I went to pick up DS last week and he was pantsless, due to falling over in some other kid's puke. (Not envious, that is the face I made).

Iggi!!!!! Share away! Lovely to see you.

Iggi, I do sympathise, tis not nice to touch!

I signed up with the East Coast website and got my alert today that the advanced tickets had gone on sale.

And I am eating cake and carrots . Good news on the car.

Are you all talking about poo still?

I like your idea of gossip Iggi :) And well done on cheap MOT. I think ours is due in October. That's soon, isn't it?

We could probably stretch to a fiver for the SS and have just the one circle this time. Tenner sounds like too much pressure to get something properly nice, rather than just something silly/funny.

DEM Mechanic definitely in his 50s!
I'll try East Coast Bella. I'll be lovely and refreshed (ahem) as coming down the night before. Shopping! Or perhaps culture. Who knows.
Let's call a moratorium on puke/poo discussions!

Has anyone seen the Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus? I definitely recommend. It's odd and slightly drugs-influenced-seeming, but entertaining and contains Heath Ledger and Johnny Depp (and Jude Law and Colin Farrell if either of those floats your boat).

course over with for the night. I've passed the module test thank goodness. Excited to be in the SS thing this year as I missed last year. But on a budget here as well!

Night all, catch up tomorrow.

Trills, We only had two because there were a few issues with getting everyone signed up in time. Being one of those who miss out due to computer issues/generally being crap i appreciated that. but agree only having one would be good if we could sort it. and still love mine, although finally taking apart and put into correct storage. so love the idea of fun.

Trills I'd sleep with any of them.
Or preferably all.

Well done Yank.

I know DEM (I set up the second one I think), what I mean is that this time I will personally go and poke everyone (and get people to text the people who I can't poke) and make them sign up so we have just one circle. Like herding cats.

Iggs, You could go for £92 first class return (using two singles) on East Coast.

sounds like a plan trills. willleave it in your capable hands to heard the cats.

I am in two minds re the actors. still liking <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=blogs.timeslive.co.za/beautifulyoungthings/files/2010/08/enrique_iglesias.jpg&imgrefurl=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this but then there is the added complication of where my brain has been lingering recently. it is a dangerous place to be and it seems to happily return there most nights

bastard thing is that i am going to have to quit my evening training sessions

Night Yank.

Trills, I vote you to be in charge of the Secret Santa. A fiver sounds good.

Why DEM?

DEM - that looks great!

I am going to bed - need to be up at 6.00.

Night all.

Its exhausting but really good fun.

night Bella.

Since this thread is nearly full, I just wanted to say thanks for my favourite ever thread title. Ever.

we'll make sure the author sees your kind words tethersend

Night night, sleep tight, dont let the bug beds bite.

have a lovely day to all the early risers!
