I couldn't see that anyone else had started a new thread, after Stropps carelessly finished the old one without starting a new one, so here you are. Xmas GrinXmas GrinXmas Grin

Oh yes, Rudy. Not invited, but know about it. But not interested and couldn't care. I rarely post anywhere but here these days.

I love a bit of Jilted John. Grin

I am a bit pissed.

Going to a friend's 40th tomorrow. It's fancy dress and MI gave me an utterly inspired idea.

Bloody hell, I've walked back into the 1980s. Grin My DCs are utterly scornful of any music that isn't on the current play list of KissFM, I'm afraid.

DH is still firmly an 80s man - play AHa at a wedding and he is up on the dance floor leaping about like a crazy man.

All those NYE shenanigans....I really couldn't be arsed to get involved.

MrsS - do tell us about your fancy dress!

By the way, where are we going on Friday? I'm not sure what was decided in the end.

QueenQueenie · 10/01/2014 22:49

What you going as Mrs S?

CointreauVersial · 10/01/2014 22:53

Oh yes, and Simon Mayo played "Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, Please" on the radio yesterday. Remember that one? Splodgenessabounds!

I think we may have moved away from song for my almost (in 53 minutes) teenager to just songs that were in the charts when we were teenagers Grin. Fab to see them all though - Jilted John Grin Grin.

And are they really having a another MN factional meltdown? Splitters. I missed the whole Moldy thing, thankfully not cool enough for any of that - who on earth has the time and energy to care?

Young Girl, Get Out of my Mind, by some horrific old perv.

Seventeen, by some seventies one-hit wonder.

Beauty school drop out, or indeed anything from Grease!

MrsSchadenfreude · 10/01/2014 23:19

Well, quite, Wilbur - it's like saying, some people that I don't know don't want me to be in their gang!

I still have a week to go before my doctor's appointment. I should be oozing nicely, with a few pus filled blobs by then. Hmm No wonder people go to A & E with trivial stuff.

Dd is doing the bubonic plague in history, MrsS. She was waxing lyrical about buboes and other symptoms today, so if you develop a few, could she come and take a look? Sorry you're not well though, sounds grim.

CointreauVersial · 10/01/2014 23:34

Is that your fancy dress costume, Mrs S ? Wink Wink

Blackduck · 11/01/2014 05:42

NYE ?? What happened? Like QQ I can still quiver at the thought of moldy gate - I'd been on and off at the time and came back on and everyone had gone! It was like being the new girl at school :-0
Like MrsS I rarely post anywhere but here now, and on NYE was in bed full of cold!

So come MrsS what you going as?

We have a joint party tonight which a friend is throwing for us but we are both full of cold so I can't see it being a late one!

Wilbur - ha ha re songs playing in our youth - true, but I was trying to think of the specifically teen ones!!

hattymattie · 11/01/2014 06:14

I am also mystified by NYE shenanigans but then these things always seem to pass me byConfused.

Ooh yes to Making Plans for Nigel. We should have a Now That's What I Call Crepey MusicGrin

Dp has lost his voice so it could be interesting! We are clearly falling apart in our advanced years!! I think we'll be tucked up before midnight ;)

In S&B news I bought some boots in the Clark's sale but they are too shiny and the reviews are shocking so they are going back today!

The Filorga is lovely though not cheap - I am going to make my freebies of it last as long as I can!

Much appreciated, all your support about DP. Interestingly enough the only other friends I've asked about this, some years ago when the girls were quite little, said kindly perhaps I was being a bit U and that it wasn't for long and it is a huge part of his life. I know that if I wanted to go to choir summer school he'd be fully supportive. But that's the thing. Logistically - time and money - I'd find it hard to commit to a similar week.

Also, MI, don't you have the same amount of money? He may earn more but I bet you contribute more than he does in terms of keeping the show on the road.

Saw screaming headlines in a tabloid about Arctic weather but forecasts contradictory. Still haven't replaced leaky wellies.

Have already forgotten the explanation of what went on on NYE but not how hurt I was by Mo(u)ldygate. I was a regular on a thread similar to this (but not as good) and everyone just vanished without explanation, leaving me to wander around, plaintively squeaking 'where are you all?'. Not a word, not a pm. Disproportionately upset when I eventually got the message.

Am told they have all been back under different guises - glad I no longer know who they are.

Dreamed that I watched a video of somebody ironing. DD asked if her father and I have swooped brains Grin

Auriga · 11/01/2014 09:28

Swopped, that is.

CointreauVersial · 11/01/2014 10:06

When was Moldygate? I've only been on MN for four years (not like you old timers Wink ) so presumably before then?

DH and I are having a lie-in. No football, due to squishy ground.
