May 09 - Six months on. Sleepless nights, hen nights and a sexybuilder.

[HeadlessLadyH]

Over here!!!!

Yeah hooch and vodka, and vodka and lotsof other stuff as well - do you remember Pony and Cherry B? We used to use that as well - I agree just thinking about it now I'm old and boring makes me cringe...!!!!

What is Pony and Cherry B? The cherry B bit I get.

20/20. Awful stuff.

We used to make a punch ( hence the stolen shoes incident ) of white wine (cheapest nastiest stuff only) vodka, white lightening, five alive and lemonade. Knockout Juice it was.

5 alive, lol. Pony was like a fortified wine thing - cam ein small bottles like cherry B. The cocktail sounds GOOD!!!

We all used to make lethal concoctions! On my 21st we 'diluted' the spirits we had with wine and lager as no-one had brought soft drinks with them lol... I don't think i sobered up until 5pm the next day. My now ex was so pissed he got confused on the way to the loo in our flat and that night ended up peeing through our letterbox while standing inside our hall!!! I heard this unusual trickling noise, stuck my head out of our bedroom door and proceeded to yell 'what are YOU DOING?!' at him. in the morning he said i must have been mistaken he'd never had done something like that! PAH!

It was indeed v v good detsy. We would have a pre club shindig round at our flat. Get pissed on the punch and then go out clubbing. To nightclubs and everything.

Nightclubs.....must be a real sign of age but I can't stand nightclubs any more!!? Can't hear yourself think and they're full of 12 year olds...lol God I'm such an old nag now

Rain so bad here that sky has stopped working so think am off to bed. Single parent again as Rob away on a project 3 nights every week....yuk

May just do a quick play on AIBU for a giggle and some abuse....

night night detsy & come back soon x

I just typed out another drunk DH story but although it was funny at the time, and the fact that he was dressed as furry fish is probably why, it is actually a bit grim and involves puke so I won't share that one.

ooo i'm so not brave enough to go on AIBU..

Am off to bed now. Night night.

Remind me in the morning to tell you the one where he got arrested.....

night headlessladyyouteasewithmorestories x

as usual, arrived too late to chat to anyone. I've only JUSt settled down into bed with laptop, DH fast asleep beside me. it's just that I didn't have time to shower until 10pm. and lots of things to tidy.

detsy! good to see you again.
grumpy! where did you go?

ladyH, waiting patiently for the arrested story.

speaking of cheap alcohol, in the US we had 'wine coolers' - high alcohol wine mixed with some kind of fruit drink. ugh. we'd drink it straight out of 2 litre plastic bottles.

still here... was just farming!

oh, and nursery photos weren't successful. dd1 had a strop when asked to take off her shoes like everyone else. then had to be dragged/bribed in front of the camera and wouldn't smile. so we have a series of serious faces. I don't think I'll be buying any of the photos taken (at least she's saved us around £25).

on a lighter note, we've 'won' a piano from freecycle! I just have to arrange a mover to bring it to my house. what a lovely christmas gift!

momino they wine coolers sound pretty vile too My DH is also off in land of nod... in fact i'm the only one currently still awake and I should be the main one to be asleep by now after the last 2 nights of hardly any sleep... but seem to have got a 2nd 10th burst of energy

Fi, I've not yet started a farm, am too afraid it will be something else to steal time away from DH .

I never go to sleep when I should.
what are we doing?

oooo is it a full size upright piano? or they toy kind? It's our nursery photos on thursday... didn't bother taking ds in for last years am shoot as I take so many of the dcs anyway... will wait and see if they're any good and decide from there...

it's an upright one. I'm embarassed to say I don't play but just have really wanted a piano. I thought if we have one, it may encourage one of the 3 girls to be musical.

DH plays (played) guitar and I play (played) cello but both instruments are collecting dust in the spare room. maybe a piano will be more inviting.

just to clarify - I'm embarassed to admit to the woman we're getting the piano from that I don't play piano.

Bloody hell, Detsy! Blotted! good to see you! How many exclamation marks can I use?!

I did a very long post namechecking everyone but I've lost it. My mac froze and I did I re-start without thinking. I really can't face typing all that out again, but just to say a few things:

Good luck with the work, MrsMash and have a lovely time when you go out. I loved the wedding photos, you looked fantastic and the wedding venue looked wonderful.

Hooch I do have a tale to tell. When it first came out I ran a pub with an ex and my father and his friends were drinking double gin and hooch one night. I was very at their antics but they'd been celebrating something or other. It turned out that they didn't know that Hooch was alcoholic. They thought it was a soft lemonade drink. Idiots.

What else was I going to say?

Fi, I'm throwing in the towel.
going to try to get sleep. have to be up and dressed for 7am. tiler coming early to work on the endless project that is our 6 month kitchen renovation. sigh.

I'm sure the lady will be delighted it's going to a home with dcs that'll love to have fun tapping out tunes on the keys. Anyway you can always say it's something you've always wanted to try but never had the chance up until now?!
