Hagsnet - the crepey quiche

[saggarmakersbottomknocker]

Over here all you 40s and fading!

Arf @ 'brisk planting action in the garden'. Not heard it called that before. And al fresco too!

Does sitting in the garden with a nice gory thriller and a glass or two of white wine count as Gardening?

If so, I have been hard at it this afternoon

Oh here you all are! I thought I was alone with my middle aged spread!

I want some wine. Must remember to order some from those naked wine peeps. I have a healthy balance to order from there now!

Do you mean Gisele Bundchen ?? I thought Gisele Graham made poncetastic Christmas decorations

I've been aerating my compacted areas today. As much as one can aerate concrete. We have still had no rain.

Want to crash out and watch some telly, but it is all so shouty. Why must the young people shout so?

yup , mother inferior, you will lose pounds that way . obviously the article is going well

cant remember who it was who was exercising by popping the bubble wrap on The Shred. hows that working out?

i have had 4 days with no exercise on orders of the Chiropractor, but went back to gym today. i don't understand how the weights have got so much heavier in 4 days. i used to be able to do nothing for weeks and feel fine. sigh

now have no excuse but to try C25K again tomorrow

have been naughty with left over 7th birthday party goodies. well they had to be used up

LOL at aereating concrete

Maiasaurus - you want the Antiques Roadshow, it's compulsory viewing chez Bamboo. Sadly I'm not joking.

Re Dorothy Perkins - this is probably no recommendation, but it's one of the few high street stores that I even consider these days. What with Next, H&M, New Look, Top Shop etc being a dead loss. I like the dress too Moondog.

I long for Antiques Roadshow, but DCs are insisting on watching Dr Who because they missed it yesterday.

Jon Pertwee never had to shout.

.....aerating my compacted areas......

(wondering what that might be a metaphor for)

Dh is muttering something similar but i know its all talk

he's had one glass of wine so will be asleep by 9.30pm

Alouise YES!! Arf I did mean Giselle Bunchen not Giselle Graham

How funny

:o

CointreauVersial - I thought you were talking about cellulite when I first read about the compacted areas (having read a book about it in the 80s). Apparently compaction (due to using arse as a sofa) and caffeine is the root of all saddle-bag related ills. I have been vaguely trying to aerate my 'compacted areas' over the years, without success.

Maiasaurus - oh dear, sympathies. I'm lucky that my DC are too young to have a say at this time of night, though that won't be for long I suppose.

HoB - suggest you don't try stabbing your backside with a garden fork.

Dress lovely moondog but far too short. Why is everything exposing of croissant knees at the moment?

Hey that's something I haven't tried D'ya think it would catch on? As an Extra to the Shred DVD?

And why has one of my grown cover roses died when the other two live on? They were all exposed to same -18c crappola last December.

I've lost one too thenightsky . I think it was just too cold for too long.

I may attack my cellulite with a garden fork because nothing else shifts it. I've now got a lump the size of a 5p on one thigh which is hard and raised but not red or painful. What could it be?

BF just phoned to say that she has been 'mulching her shady borders' today. That is definitely a euphemism.

I, too have been guiltily munching on leftover party goodies.....Now need to get back on track. Anyone want 13 veggie sausage rolls, a plate of scotch eggs, half a cake, and a tin of all sorted mini fun bags?

Fellow hags: I have not been back to this thread much as rl got in the way, but I was and remain an original crepey (of 48 years 7 months and 9 days, got got my period today, first one for about four months, its a blessed relief tbh).

Off now to read what you've all been up to .

Maiasaurus - the lump is probably the residue of a double espresso you had back in about 1992. (Or then again maybe not.) re shady borders, I reckon I could accommodate a good few shade-lovers under my saddle bags if I stood still for long enough.

Bamboo I lived in Portugal for 5 years in the early '90s and lived on their half-a-mouthful-of-coffee-flavoured-tar coffees. I guess I'll be getting a few more lumps.

The worrying thing is that I find myself gently prodding my lump at strange moments. Either that or stroking my chin to feel the bristles emerging. Had a bristle this morning that was like fuse wire...and black.

I hate my saddlebags more than my gut I think.....
