Hello Grin

Gigantaur · 21/09/2010 20:35

love both those ouch. especially at less than a tenner!

BoF you have my sympathies. It is only recently that we have been able to eat out with DS.

but talking of DS, he's 10 tomorrow. I cannot beleive how fast the past decade has gone. It seems only moments ago and yet so much has happened.

I also turn 29 and 12 months tomorrow. I am less happy about that.

Lizzylou · 21/09/2010 20:35

I like the 2nd DP one, Ouch.

I am crying at the Bake Off programme, didn't see that one coming!

How very sad Blush

Hope the Voddy is helping Bof.

Lizzylou · 21/09/2010 20:36

Gigi!
Wow! You kept that quiet.

Happy Birthday to you Smile

bellavita · 21/09/2010 20:40

I am watching the bake off too Lizzy. I never thought of dipping the scones in the egg wash - a lot quicker than using a pastry brush. I always put a demerara sugar topping on mine >

OuchPassVodka · 21/09/2010 20:42

ooh what happened lizzy - forgot it was on Blush

Gigi wow happy birthday to you for tomo. by the way my mum is 29 and a few months Wink its her standard expression. still using it even though now she has got her bus pass Grin

bellavita · 21/09/2010 20:42

Gigi, you only need to worry when you hit middle 40's like me! Happy birthday to you and your ds for tomorrow. Are you doing anything special?

Lizzylou · 21/09/2010 20:45

Ouch, a certain Cheshire Mom is doing well!
In the final two.

Bella, I wouldn't doubt it of you.
I have never made scones, is that bad? I need to as I have tonnes of homemade jam to use up!

OuchPassVodka · 21/09/2010 20:45

I have another dilema, i need 1 1/2 mins of music that is non vocal and has a change of pace in it. any ideas

bellavita · 21/09/2010 20:47

You have never made scones Lizzy Shock Grin. You definitely need to - it would be sacrilege to put the homemade jam on anything else.

OP posts:
OuchPassVodka · 21/09/2010 20:49

cheese and basil scones warm are the best Grin

bellavita · 21/09/2010 20:51

I am stumped too Ouch.

OP posts:
OuchPassVodka · 21/09/2010 20:51

but then again basil is a natural aphrodisiac Grin

Gigantaur · 21/09/2010 21:04

i love homemade cheese scones. yummm

DS wanted to go to pizza hut for his birthday so we will be doing that. not exactly a night at the ritz but still.

It was DD's birthday on saturday so we are taking them to Legoland at the weekend too.
I've never been before so any hints and tips gratefully recieved.

My birthdya will be mostly ignored as usual. this year i wont actually mind so much Grin

bellavita · 21/09/2010 21:09

I haven't been to Legoland either.

mittz · 21/09/2010 21:13

Oh BoF lovey, not sure there s great deal I can say apart to offer my sympathy and love xx

GiGi.. you young thing you.. Smile Happy Birthdays all around.

My Mum has been diagnosed with a condition where you get blood clots that can cause strokes.... not sure about all the detail. She is going on warfrin (?), she said 'maybe your Dad will let me go to the hairdressers to have a proper haircut' Sad (the whole things had a high chance of hairloss apparently).
I don't want my Mum to be ill.. she has been through too much. Grandad had it and died from a stroke, although he made it to 92 Smile, just doesn't seem fair to her..
I am sorry but my Dad's a fucking jerk. Angry

The darker Tunics appealed to me Ouch, what sort of music do you have in mind? Contemporary or classical? No lyrics at all?

OuchPassVodka · 21/09/2010 21:16

Absolutely no lyrics but can be edited down to the time limit. Not sure. something that will make the examiners pass me Grin

TrillianAstra · 21/09/2010 21:21

Happy birthday Gigi.

Bof sorry you're having s crap evening. I am watching don't tell the bride, I definitely recommend it for silliness.

Lizzylou · 21/09/2010 21:25

Oh Mittz, hope your Mom is OK.

Gigi, never been to Legoland either (both boys have been to Manchester Legoland though, I'd steer clear of giftshop if I was you!).

Happy Birthday lovely, being 30 was the first birthday I didn't cry at after my 21st. It's cool, you'll still be you, still fabulous.

Iggi999 · 21/09/2010 21:31

Hello, haven't caught up yet but it looks like lots have been going on.. hope you are all ok, or if not, intoxicated.
Been trying to follow what all the new bits to the site are. Ridiculously excited, saddo that I am. While at the same time watching a depressing/good film about a girl in Afghanistan for work.

BitOfFun · 21/09/2010 21:34

OH HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIGI! I'm so sorry I din't realise- I haven't checked my facebook for ages Blush

Happy birthday, Gigi!

Jaquelinehyde · 21/09/2010 21:56

Evening all

Bof what a nightmare, hope you have managed to salavage something from the evening. Even if it was just warmed up delicious food.

Shiney hope your feeling better soon.

Gigi HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Been in Uni all day today and then collected children from school, walked into the village, got them all an ice cream(it's been boiling here today) and resisted having one myself. Then walked through the cow field, up by the cricket field and back home. Just in time for dinner, bath and bed. Phew what a day.

Shiney are you causing trouble somewhere?

OuchPassVodka · 21/09/2010 22:01

dont you know jaq, shiney is a reformed character Wink

BitOfFun · 21/09/2010 22:04

Things have looked up somewhat as I'm no longer miserable. But I did have a puke in the bath half an hour ago (not been feeling well) and then Dd2 woke up screaming with a Humungous Poo to deal with.

More vodka.
