Crepey continuum

[Cremolafoam]

Over here!

OK - have accepted FB request from someone who I think is MI and sent one to someone who I think is Mrs S - are you a cartoon Mrs S?

Ruby - don't move back to the City - we're all trying to move out. Ideally I'd like exquisite french village put easy access to Paris, as I do like shops, theatre a bit of buzz. I say that but spend most of the time stuck with children.

I do remember hearing that one of the longest life expectancies in the Country was Kensington and Chelsea.

We are not planning/trying to move out of the city

Rich people live longer

It would seem so BTM

Bloody hell you lot. I take my eye off the ball for 5 minutes and you're all making friends on FB... I don't like / don't get FB and am only on there to retend to be keeping an eye on dss
I'll come on here in a week and there'll be just tumbleweed, I can see it now.
How would I even begin to know how to find you and make friends with you on there??? Please tell. Assume for these purposes I am total idiot (OK for most purposes....).

I only appear on FB since I started ahem tweeting, QQ - DP linked my tweets to facebook. I tweet quite deliberately lightweight stuff about my life, all non-attributable and carefully managed...

Should you feel the urge to be connected there (and believe me there isn't much point IMO) PM me with your details and I'll befriend you.

Ruby, I am beginning to think that is the approach I should take with meals. Thing is, when DP is around he produced a Hefty Lunch followed by Hefty Supper. I really like salami and cheese and stuff for lunch. And while I did do a perfectly nice pasta bake and salad and baked bananas for lunch I sat there resenting them all for eating it, dammit.

I am in fact going out tonight to lovely local Bengali restaurant with lovely local MNer (far too young to be crepey!) so will leave them all to it. One child staying the night.

QQ we only did it to see BTM in her bikini :)

My FBing is also flimsy/light and I think having befriended half the crepeys I have actually doubled my number of 'friends'

If you PM me your FB name so I can find you I'll befriend you (I warn you my page will bore you rigid and that'll learn you)!

Now tweeting I don't get, but am supposed to for my job so maybe that would be a better place to start...

I only joined FB originally to keep an eye on dd, but then a work contact tracked me down and added me to a massive group of fellow work persons that I "know" from an age-old mailing list we were/are all on. (Where I met dh) So I have a large group of FB "friends" who are in the same line of work as I am. We have one of those closed groups where we can grouse to our hearts' content without anyone noticing. Except for Mark Zuckerberg and that Sheryl, obvs. This does mean that I don't do status updates as such.

However, I do post quite a lot of photos. And repost quite a lot of this and that. I seem to have got a teensy bit sucked in.

Stropps, I joined to keep an eye on DD and keep in touch with a couple of far-flung-friends... At least it gives me something other than MN to do on hol

I am in sainsburys and the electricity has gorn off causing till shutdown .
I have a trolly full of stuff and no way to pay for it. It has already been bagged but tills went down as I was reaching for my credit card.
FGS I have a plane to catch
Raaaaagh!
QQ I can't do FB either as all that shit was banned after dh showed us how easy it is to hack into ANYONE'S account. Horror .
I suspect dd does it in secret tbh

Cremo, big thunderstorm here too - lucky we're inside, but I did really want to use the two brollies... What will you do about your shopping???

We have been offered a quality street by way of apology....
Had to abandon it as still have a list of stuff to do!
Waste of an hour and a half, and will still have to do it all again meant to get a blow dry too but will just have to forget about that

Oh she's given me £9 off a £60 shop voucher. And a hazelnut twirl
Crapity crap crap

One quality streets a bit paltry, but the £9s OK!

How annoying though

MI and Mrs S - no friend requests from you, honest.

Just had a very lovely young man round measuring me up for a stair runner. Lots of talk of 'width', laying, etc. I'm having to lie down with a cold compress.

Have got really lovely carpet, from nice local company, and feel content.

I just forgot DP's work number and dialled my ex from TWENTY YEARS AGO, dammit, and fortunately the number doesn't work any more, phew.

DD2 is Very Anxious in case her friend doesn't like the curry we've got for tea. Poor DD2.

blimey MI! I am not sure whether to impressed that you can remember a telephone number form 20 years ago, or worried that you have early on-set Altzimmers ;)

I wish a naice young man would come and measure me up...

Ruby - have a glass even if he doesn't get home . You deserve it after your tooth problems and the kitchen deep clean.

I had roof guy in to follow plumber from yesterday. Unfortunately he was more of a male crepey so no hot flushes there. Discovered our kitchen outlet evacuates into our attic (after passing round the outside wall of the house) - which explains why if I fry something my bedroom stinks ;

The house is beginning to need so much work I'd rather just move. I hate spending money on roof tiles that I could be using on a holiday nice kitchen or something.

QQ, I don't FB either, so I'll keep you company on here when those fickle buggers abandon us.

Currently en route for home, completely Gadgetted out. Actually, it was better than I expected, and we picked up a few nifty items, including new headphones for DS, a router magnifier thingummy, and a clever sticky cloth for my tablet that sticks onto the back of it. I'm not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, and I'm no longer getting a lunch hour which will severely curtail my midday mumsnetting.

MI - I am howling.

I think we should stay here rather than on FB.

I have my final dentist appointment tomorrow for a filling (the first new one since I was 13) and a clean (or what my mother would call a "scrape and polish", which is probably quite an accurate description).

Oh yes, we must stay here. I feel too nekkid on FB.

FB was only so we could check out BTM (sounds like pervy teenager)

I am not sure if it is psychosomatic but my back tooth hurts (where my wisdom teeth is up in the jaw) - crepeys if I have to have expensive painful treatment I will hunt you down...
Very quiet in the house - ds at grandparents. Early night here...

I like it here too - although it is very nice to meet everybody.
