Shine shine shine shine shine! Come on!

[wastingaway]

Woop

Chocolate buttons usually do the trick here Shiney.

No apple crushing here, apart from when a die-cast Thomas the Tank Engine comes crashing down on my keyboard. they're pretty hardy machines thankfully.

DH was away to London early, and won't be back til ?
I'm not envious.

Anyway, shitty arse to wipe.

Morning

Shiney, you are earning lots of Brownie points, surely?

Had a 24 athon last night, not feeling the love for series 6 tbh.

Woke to Ds2 screaming for his brother at 6am
Knackered.

Going to Blackpool to see the Illuminations this afternoon and a meal out.

You are getting the piss taken out of you here Shiney- and I don't care if he reads that.

Shiney needs a break too, you know. And she is horrible with children- I hear her on the phone all the time. I think she called ds a twat once, I'm sure. STOP MAKING HER LOOK AFTER YOUR CHILD WHEN SHE SHOULD BE HAVING SOME TIME TO HERSELF.

Morning. On way to PIL for the weekend, wish me luck . Managed to fall out with DH before leaving our street (he hadn't strapped DS into car seat properly, AGAIN, and is now in huff with me for calling him on it).
I haven't phoned any MNers, but DS did phone my MIL accidentally at 7 yesterday, which meant me being forced to speak to her to apologise. Not best start to the day!

Ooh Iggi, good luck Must train your DS to call 999 or a number less troubing than the PILs.

I agree with BOF that you need a break too Shiney, hope you negotiated some time off yourself.

I'd love to see Blackpool again. Maybe a good place for a Shiney meet? I can just see us all on the pleasure beach!

You can't beat a bit of Blackpool tackiness.

I fondly remember seeing a Hen Party on the Pleasure Beach years ago, the bride had a papier mache foot long cock on her head.
I tried to follow them to find out if she'd be allowed on "The Big One" with it on

You could get arty and make one for Shiney, Iggi?

helloooo....oh how I've missed you all. I've been held captive by my 7 year old for 8 WEEKS. Somehow the sloth like combination of DH & I have been blessed with a child of such epic energy I can hardly catch my breath. I keep chanting manically - 'this energy he has is a gift, it will be wonderful when he's an adult'. But I THANK GOD for the end of the holidays.

the only peace I got was when I let him go on the laptop...so no chance for MN and at night DH and I collapsed in a heap of exhaustion...watching our new boxed set (yes there is another) of Carnivale.

I am so far behind I dare not catch up - but will you forgive me any foot in mouth for the next week or so? I'm bound to upset someone having missed so much.

I did manage to skim this thread and shiney though I feel your pain I can't stop laughing about your porn faux pas. What a bloody classic.

Nothing hugely exciting has happened to me...other than I passed on my genetically flawed eyes to DS. I knew something was up at the opticians when he was asked to read the letters only to say 'what letters'.

How is everyone?

Bella - ahhh! I got your text and I've just seen you went to find me on A&W! I don't know why but I love that!

I would never leave you...! I did answer you on FB but not sure I did it right (techno phobe here!) I probably posted on someone elses wall!

So you have now moved over to the dark side of the apple mac? They are fab aren't they. DH is obsessed. He gets everything apple.

I have got to limit my use of the exclamation mark. It's getting ridiculous.

Yay- great to see you hells

Vinny has just popped round- she caught me in the middle of DIY chaos, with a scrunchie in my hair (the shame) and half a face of hastily-applied make-up. Because it's important to wear full slap before one tiles a floor, clearly.

Jells!

Meant to write hells there but iPhone is mad. I'll be badly spelled for the next week or two with some cunning corrections because Ian in my NEW HOUSE! And it doesn't have Internet yet.

Weird capitalisations may also be found.

Does DP know about Ian moving in, Trills?

Actually we do have a friend called Ian. His girlfriend is hot, dp might not mind too much if we did a swap : o

PMSL @ Ian

Hi Hells. Glad to see you back, if slightly broken

At PIL's atm , hope your visit is good Iggi. Despite usual boredom, we have had a lovely day on a ferry, land train, beach & picnic area. I would like to go home to my own bed though

Lizzy, your afternoon/eve sounds fab

Lol also at Ian...

Yayyy for Trills in new house

A local village has Illuminations.. and brill fireworks.... won't be viewing them tonight. I am in snuggle mode.

Hi Shiney. We are done moving for today. Thinking about a takeaway. Or maybe one of those m and s thingys. Thonged is what my autocorrect wanted to say. Stupid apple machine

Hells you are back! Someone has your name. I told them politely that it already belongs to you, whether they take note or not is a different matter.

Have only got 9% of battery left, so had better go. We are at the services on our way home from Silverstone - great day.

Oh and DH loves his new MacBook Pro.

Thanks Bella - it's lovely having someone stick up for me! Having said that - I think it's spelt differently (she has the bell without the extra 'e') though so we can both be hellsbells with abandon

Trills - so exciting about your new house and Ian. And BOF I'm sure you still looked beautiful despite having only half a face of make up (which half was it?!)

Mitts - enjoy snuggle, Crispy - day sounds lovely...and shiney I hope the birthday girl has a wonderful time.

Right X-factor beckons. Night all.
