< waaaaaaahhhh >

hehe

SoleSource · 13/03/2014 19:09

Mine pies hmmm

You alright AF? Long time no see

No minced pies in Gregg's?

AnyFucker · 13/03/2014 19:16

I am fine, Sole. How is the weight loss going ? < waves pom poms >

I cannot find any mince pies. They are full of calories though, so perhaps best to keep them for the festive season Smile

SoleSource · 13/03/2014 19:24

It's going good, lost another 2lb this week :)
thank you for remembering x

If I ever see minced pies I shall pm you

AnyFucker · 13/03/2014 20:13

You know you said you wanted to wake up and be a lot lighter ?

Well, one day, you will. Not tomorrow, but one day in the near future. Keep going x

I want a boobwarmer for bath time.Grin

also no period/ovulation pains that cripple me for 2/3 of every month, (when not pg, which I currently am)

ZingSweetMango · 13/03/2014 20:41

Sole

well done on weight loss!Thanks

ghostinthecanvas · 13/03/2014 20:54

I really want to post the expression on DHs face when I bring in the main weekly shop. I bought
1 chicken
1 pack sausages
I bottle Oddka Lightening vodka (pretty blue colour)
I bottle bacardi pina colada
Random box beer
I also optimistically tried Lidls. Bought three kids 1000 piece jigsaws. Bargain btw. Disney £2.99
No food at all in lidl. Well a box of gingersnap biscuits.
I have officially lost the will to shop for my family.

I want all the Harry Potter books on kindle.

But I already own them on paper so it would be an indulgence.

WWEPD? (What would Evo Psych do?)

BertieBotts · 13/03/2014 20:59

Do it. I own two copies of most of them in paper anyway, firstly because I wore my original copy out by reading it too much Blush and then I just started collecting them in different languages. I have the full set in English, and a German, Spanish and American English one (though I can't remember now which ones :( )

I do remember I went through the entire AE one and noticed every change in the text because it was jarring.

I think if you want them on kindle it would be worth checking if they are British English or American English first. It would be quite disappointing to get the wrong edition.

GarthsUncle · 13/03/2014 21:07

Bertie, you are a sultry temptress in the manner of Eve waving an apple ebook.

Maybe salon can do a feature on you?

At 61, and married for 40 years, I still don't have a fucking clue!

AnyFucker · 13/03/2014 21:30

if you have been married for 40 years, GF, then you are mostly getting it right Smile

LurcioLovesFrankie · 13/03/2014 21:46

Ghost - you and me both. It is a good job I live 3 minutes walk from the local coop because the organisational headspace to plan more than 4 hours ahead seems to have deserted me.

At the moment I just want rid of this fucking head cold (third one in as many weeks... I just feel like shit).

mouldyironingboard · 14/03/2014 11:16

I want world peace and free prescriptions for all.

I agree that mince pies should be available all year round, except for the yukky ones with icing which should be banned forever.

I didn't bother to read the article Smile

AnyFucker · 14/03/2014 13:31

What article ? Wink

DianaTrent · 14/03/2014 13:42

I made the mistake of trying Ecclefechans last Christmas. Now I am craving them in addition to mince pies. On the upside, Christmas stock arrives earlier every year. Possibly not in March however. Sad

ZingSweetMango · 14/03/2014 14:51

mouldy

you know, you can make mince pies!

ask MaryZ, I bet she has the best recipe to pass on!Grin

PeppermintPasty · 14/03/2014 14:59

I want someone to take me out to dinner. I've had that fancy for a couple of weeks now. No sex or other junk, just dinner. I know I could take myself out, or take someone else out, but I don't want to.

I even thought about putting a request for a dinner as my facebook status. Bloody hell.

kathkim · 11/04/2017 12:19

while men are very poorly suited to monogamy, women are much better suited to monogamy. But that just really doesn’t stand up when you look at the science

Yeah, plenty women have affairs too!

KatieScarlett · 11/04/2017 12:25

What do I want?
My sense of balance restored.
A Creme Egg before Kraft killed them.
A machine that washes and styles my hair with zero human effort.

FlyAwayPeter · 11/04/2017 19:16

What do I want?

A really good night's sleep (post-menopause sleep is crap)

To lose 15kg by magic, without losing any major body parts or limbs

Then to be able to eat whatever i liked and gain no weight

Not to ache so much before during and after exercise, which i enjoy and am good at, but it hurts more now

Animalistic sex is fairly low down on the list, and actually long and slow is better IME

FlyAwayPeter · 11/04/2017 19:20

Oh bugger, a ZOMBIE thread

I've just seen myself (under a former name) upthread.

SailAwayWithMeHoney · 11/04/2017 19:22

Another call for year-round mince pies!!

Also a mini-bar in my house.

blackteasplease · 11/04/2017 19:49

Ooooh I want nearly all of the things that you lot want.
