A Crepey is not just for Christmas...

[oldqueencrepey]

It had to be done.
Phew that feels better.
Over here crepeys. All very welcome (but only if you're crepey).

And Queeny - he was in a leather shirt. *pulls collar from neck to allow steam to escape8

Are you having a hot flush, Herbs?

I'm with CV - never heard of him, but glad you enjoyed Herbs (how's diet going btw?)

I did no wine - probably best - and had an early night.......
Back to school/work Monday and a zillion things to do....

Diet going OK. Back to the weight I was before Christmas, which seems scant reward for the deprivation. But I seem to have lost bloating too, and my face/double chin is slimmer, so this is good.

Off to the first birthday party of the baby who was in intensive care a year ago. A happy event, and no mistake.

I think the weight loss is slow, but steady which I suspect is a good thing :)
I, too, feel less bloated and things feel looser so will keep at it!
Oh yes, happy birthday! I heard a of a horrid birth of one of ds's contemporaries (8 weeks prem, 2lbs) and now a robust little girl - they are fighters.

for ruby's tennis champ!

Glad your diet's going ~ell Herbs (the ~ on my keyboard is suddenly not ~orking - I managed to put on 2lbs in one ~eek of skiing

Here you are lovelies. Can I stress it is his voice / lyrics as much as the elvis impersonator vibe that I am in love with....

His voice is like melted chocolate on gravel. I can never make out the lyrics in songs, not just his, but I believe they're really v good.

As for diet, I'm comforting myself with theory which says women, and those of 'normal' bmi, lose weight more slowly. BTM - two pounds in a week is really good! I out on four over Christmas, despite really only eating one meal a day. Plus booze. Plus waitrose salted caramels. And someone had to eat that Christmas cake.

Aahh the old Sheffield crooner! I think I may have run into him at a party or to back in the day....

I agree, it takes longer to lose a pound or t~o ~hen you are not over~eight. (~ho kne~ that ~ ~as such an important letter?)

bigtilly by daughter's pc has lost its w as well. Although I think ski ~eek probably sums it up for me

hatty - any ideas ho~ to get it ~orking again? ~ill be a problem for DH as he has a job application to do later!!!

Try taking the key off and cleaning underneath it - could be crumbs in the keypad.....

I fixed it! I fixed it!

I had tried the looking for crumbs under the key, no joy. So I decided to take the back off.... which I did and banged it a bit.....

However, I think it might just have been turning off the computer and restarting it that had the desired effect

I wish I had had no wine last night. Ahem. Have had incapacitating hangover all day.

Well I didn't drink a drop last night and I've felt like I had a massive hangover all day

Oh - crumbs under the keyboard - hadn't thought of that but it will, I suspect, definitely be the problem with DD's computer. I'm going off to investigate - she sits in her bed munching with her laptop open - she's such a slob. I think I'm going to hoover her keyboard.

I am at a little mix concert. (Working)I think I am in preteen hell. Plenty of bare legs ( it is a balmy -1)and leopard print. Many many denim shorts and opaque leggings.none of them own a coat -

Sounds even worse than the hangover.

YY mi
Tis grim. Much screaming and faintage. There is a boyband mooned ever heard of unless their 10 supporting . They have those trousers that hang between the knees and walk a bit like they've wet their pants.

Ha Ha Little Mix. DD1 is off to Wand Erection at the end of the week... She's very excited!

Made it back from the week ski-ing - only one broken thumb to show for it, and a bill in CHF which meant the plaster cast must have been made of gold. So ds1 is off writing for a while, and rugby, and the go karting party we planned for his birthday....oh well.

I had a million ideas on articles for the forthcoming magazine, none of them involving pubes though, I hasten to add.... I would like:

a monthly description of a far flung land, including a potted history, a summary of the politics/economy etc, a human interest bit and some facts as to size, population etc.

a socio economic story like, how town planning in the 50's, 60's and 70's affects the way we live today

an annual description of young and upcoming actors/artists/singers etc, so we can see the best of British emerge

That's about it for the moment - not sure any of those fit into any magazine I've ever read...

Back to work tomorrow.....

Hey Beachy! I hadn't registered that you were skiing - in Switzerland?! Was it good, apart from the thumb incident?

DD appears to be going to see Beyonce with friends (one of whom has got the tickets @ £60!!) sometime at the O2.

I would like articles about life in the 50's/60's/70's too.

And articles on how to manage teens

It was great, BTM, apart from the gold plated thumb! I wasn't ski'ing but had a great time walking...

I am not looking forward to going to work tomorrow.

wassup Mrs S?
