Feeling invisible .....wave at a mate!

Following on from Trish's good idea (and by request) this thread is the place to play 'bag a buddy' 'wave at a mate' or 'grab someone else's grip for a minute'

The original idea from the invisble thread was that it would be a brilliant idea if people had a friend they could pair up with ....just so someone is going to wave at you when you feel down.
It needed a thread.
This is it .....................

Shouldn't have done that. Amazon has suggested Mr Benn as well. This thread is going to cost me serious money.

Good point Humpday I'll let them languish temptingly in my basket.

Catacombmint · 25/10/2013 16:49

. Glad you have had some anti badness today.

I have pooled about all day, just realised there is nothing for tea. Oops!

True enough, I think it might have to be a chippy Friday.

IamInvisisble · 25/10/2013 18:34

Evening everyone.

I've been braving the boards today, as well as more housework and watching the tele! Grennie spotted me and gave me a !

Tomorrow I must go out to get some wrapping paper and start wrapping Christmas presents. I am really behind this year.

Bunraku · 25/10/2013 18:57

Ooooh IamInvisible you've got me all excited again! I'm sat watching christmas stuff on the shopping channels waiting for my Chinese since DH has finally given me some peace to be festive before time abandoned me for a boxing match Grin

I'm usually completely done by the middle of November Humpday, all wrapped and everything. This year because DH is away it's a bit 'meh', the kids don't really know what they want either. We are going to have 2 Christmases, one on the day and one when DH gets back in January.

Enjoy your Chinese Bunraku.

Bunraku · 25/10/2013 19:20

I will if it gets here before I starve! I haven't eaten all day. Keep getting distracted by shiny things on the Internet :(

evenin' all

I am worrying about Hester's bogey! do you need a wavey tissue?

Echoing trish in asking if everyone has had a wave from someone since they have been here, and feels comfy?
By popular vote, I think we will shift to Chat when the thread carries over - if thats OK with everyone? cannot believe that we are rocking towards the 1000 mark at such speed. You were spot on in identifying the need, trish Have to say that I think we should team up on the 'older' front .....I thought Peppa Pig went with apple sauce! Blush

Has anyone seen grennie lately? not sure if she is MIA, or flounced?

IamInvisible have some Flowers for now being soooo NOT Grin

...... because I am not sure if I actually have yet. Sorry.

Is that me caught up, now?

Brew anyone?

Ooh wrapping Christmas presents, this thread keeps giving. Grin

Catacombmint · 25/10/2013 19:42

Yes, I spotted Grennie somewhere.

Have any of you ever joined the Friday night drunk thread? I have on occasion, having had a drop or two. I thought it would be a bit exclusive, but people were friendly to me. I am going to Wine this evening, just to balance out the coffee morning from earlier.

Catacombmint · 25/10/2013 19:44

Perhaps We can roam the boards looking for Hester's bogey, if she doesn't mind.

HaroldLloyd · 25/10/2013 19:47

Ive been on the Ironing Thread with Grennie today, its really amusing me.

Im in on my own, have work to do so mucking about on the internet will be passing the time nicely!

Any of you invisibles have any nice plans for this evening?

Reprint · 25/10/2013 19:47

Smile hester. Sadly I am one of those lightweight types, so if I have Wine now, I will be comatose by 9o/c

I'm another sad person who organises for Christmas early, though. Pretty much finished here, though won't wrap until the start of December after the tree goes up (I just like wrapping when the lights are on, and I can justify watching "its a wonderful life"! )
Still lots to do though - feeding brandy into fruity things, and turning bottles of adulterated booze.

Sorry to hear that Fright, Ive been made redundant and DP and we both got it in our last paychecks... hopefully it will come through quickly for you..

Catacombmint · 25/10/2013 19:53

I made plum vodka last year. The bottle exploded in the pantry and stripped the paint off the shelves, all the way down where it dripped. Shock There was a bit left in the bottom....I decided to give it a miss. Smile

Hi. I'm another Christmas organiser. We have all of our presents (including stockings) bought and wrapped, we have a meal plan for Chrisrmas/days before and after, and made some weird decorations/got the DC to make weird decorations. Now I have nothing to do but MN all day, inbetween changing nappies, occasional feeding, empting a variety of potties and turning on the TV. Hmm Exciting life.
