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 .....................

fright - I am so sorry to hear your news. Redundancy is such a lousy thing to go through, and I think its almost worse when you know its coming but still have to keep trucking for weeks. Flowers

Sorry to hear about your DH's job Fright.

I don't drink at all because it gives me migraines. I wasn't a big drinker before, though. DH isn't really, he told me on the phone the other day that he didn't realise how much he was drinking the first night he went to the bar and was 'initiated'. (He had to eat chilli porridge as well) he said he was up all night being sick so is off alcohol completely now! I said 'Oh FFS, how old are you?' The kids were like 'Dad's a lad!'Hmm

DS2 is next to me looking at t shirts that are £45 each that he wants for Christmas! Shock DS1 wants £100 trainers! DS2 has just asked of we can put the tree up this week end! I don't think so!

Loving that bogey! GrinGrin

I was plummifying cheapy vodka, Hump. I really want to do sloe gin but I am never in proximity to sloes at the right time.

We did black currant vodka as well. That was really nice. And Elderberry Rob is lovely for a sore throat.

Evening all...looks like this will be the extent of my posting tonight due to DS2s teething hysterics Sad

Catacombmint · 25/10/2013 20:11

I am pleased to hear they are getting advice, Fright. It can also help if any outstanding loans need rescheduling, etc.

Fingers crossed something else comes along soon.

Is there any way we can play a game on the boards? What if one of us hides a Hesters Bogey post in an out of the way spot ( obviously nowhere sensitive), and the others have to find it?

I am a bit Wine so it might be a rubbish idea.

What does her bogey look like

Harold Lloyd posted a marvellous pic down thread.

With the current MN mood Cat you would probably get banned as a troll!

Does remind me of a funny story about game playing in odd places .... cabin crew on a well known airline used to play a game in which they decided on a word before the start of the flight, and had to somehow fit it into a PA. They used to place bets fairly heavily on it
On a very notable occasion, a very 'bad' captain insisted on a specific word. One of the senior cabin girls had a reputation for never losing on the game, so that was the flight when the "cabin doors to minge" announcement was made.
Not one complaint was made!
Which just goes to prove that no-one ever listens to the announcements.

Halloween Angry at teething!! My DS has his meltdown this afternoon, he has none yet so I have all this to come.

HesterShaw · 25/10/2013 20:41

Oh if I'd known my bogey would be so well received, I'd have kept it. Poor bogey :(

Christmas? Shock I am ignoring this year, I've decided.

2tiredtoScare · 25/10/2013 20:52

Hey Humpday, I'm confuzzled by all this bogey talk
