Ooops, sorry, I didn't mean to finish the thread.

MI, DM sometimes says "oh no I couldn't possibly eat all that" despite being overweight/obese all her adult life, and managing to clear most typically enormous pub grub platesGrin

Rudy, I hope you set the alarm!

I arrived back from the supermarket to find

  • DS and DD frantically getting ready to go up to Camden
  • DD screeching that the loft windows had been left open (torrential rain earlier!) - soaking everywhere plus roof dirt washed inHmm
  • DS had brought the washing in
  • DD saying she would text me the address of the BBQ/party she is going to this evening, that she told me about last week - what???

It is now peace and quiet. I think DH must be in the pub, or lying in a gutter somewhere having slid off his bike in the rain, and not having rung me back from 2 hours ago!!!

Wakey Wakey Rudy!!! Grin

beachyhead · 25/07/2014 15:58

Weather just broke here on the South Coast. Unfortunately, dd1 is out on a driving lesson. Oh well, guess she had to use those windscreen wipers sometime Smile pity about the thunder and lightening.

Have fun tonight Crepeys! I haven't started packing yet. Off at crack of dawn to Cornwall. We are packing in Bags for Life, as we always do when camping. They fit in the car like Lego.

bigTillyMint · 25/07/2014 16:20

WAF, are you on the five o'clock cocktail bus?!

Stropperella · 25/07/2014 16:27

I'm on the train Grin

motherinferior · 25/07/2014 16:44

Good lord, I just boredly googled the organisation where DP is seconded. He's working with some babes.

No wonder he's late at the office a lot. Grin

(That last bit was a joke, btw.)

QueenQueenie · 25/07/2014 17:19

Crepeys, I'm sorry but I'm bailing out of this evening's high jinks. This weather has done for me and I am nursing a truly horrible headache. I don't think industrial quantities of Woo Woo would help much!
Hope you all have a fab night out and look forward to hearing all about it tomorrow... X

herbaceous · 25/07/2014 17:21

Noooo, QQ. It's not because of my dream, is it?

wordassociationfootball · 25/07/2014 17:25

Make up - check
bathrobe - check (not like Rudy's robe)

Will fly out the door after swapping old gents towelling for something as yet undecided as I didn't get/make time to hem my half price - 5 quid Primarni maxi.

Don't start any in-jokes - my phone is in a bag of rice after a toilet plunge so am incommunicado 'til I get there now Smile

QQ gentle stroke for your throbbing head.

motherinferior · 25/07/2014 17:36

I shall don black maxi and black T-shirt and some jools and get going.

herbaceous · 25/07/2014 18:02

I'm dithering between a striped maxi, and my Sainsbury's Joan Holloway number. It doesn't get out much these days.

DP stuck in the underground - but with WiFi (woot) - and can't leave until he gets here.

herbaceous · 25/07/2014 18:41

Knockers. Tube is suspended, and I just missed a train. In case I don't get there in time, mine's a mixed mezze!

MrsSchadenfreude · 25/07/2014 22:25

At home and slumped on sofa. Lovely to see you all. My pants are still damp!

motherinferior · 25/07/2014 22:26

Slumped on sofa here too.Grin

CointreauVersial · 25/07/2014 23:07

Damp pants, MrsS?! Just what sort of meet-up did I miss?

Another fabulous day of our South West Tour draws to a close. Aquarium and beach (a beautiful one we more or less stumbled upon). I'm lying on the bed in our farmhouse B&B absolutely stuffed with dinner and feeling lightly toasted. St Ives tomorrow, although I'm a bit depressed to hear that the weather is on the turn. It really was amazing today; I even had a dip in the sea.

Have a good trip, Beachy.

Blackduck · 26/07/2014 06:36

Sorry didn't make meal, but sitting in a tropical downpour with MrsS and BTM was fun :)
Stropps still Shock at DD - hope it gets sorted soon
Rudy eyes look fab!
WAF catch up properly next time...

And the job where I don't meet half the criteria? Interview on Thursday Confused

NUFC69 · 26/07/2014 07:59

Sounds like a good time was had by all yesterday. Damp pants? The mind boggles.

The holiday in the West Country sounds lovely as well. Our day was punctuated by sitting at the side of rivers and canals drinking spritzers - the rest of the time we were walking. I am looking forward to the party now - it's about an hour's drive to get there and I think I will be driving home.

Rosebag · 26/07/2014 09:08

Sounds like a good night had by all? ,!! QQ are you feeling better? It was real headache weather, wasn't it. Am about to get on the road with DD down to Sussex. Feeling a bit worried we've missed the best of the weather, but hey ho.
DD on a bit of a high after performance of dance and poetry piece on bullying at the theatre. A very powerful piece. Now for a couple of weeks of nothing Smile. Bliss.....

Auriga · 26/07/2014 09:45

Rudy, you look fab altogether. Lovely evening, QQ sorry you missed it. WAF, good to meet you at last.

Not enough time to talk to anyone, let's meet again soon.

herbaceous · 26/07/2014 10:07

It was so short! Especially for those detained by public transport woes. I hardly spoke to mrs S, or MI, or stropps, but had could admire in detail Rudy's new eyes. She's even more glam than ever!

beachyhead · 26/07/2014 11:29

We made it.... Set off at 430am and finally arrived.

QueenQueenie · 26/07/2014 12:42

Hi lovelys...
Sorry to miss a chance to catch up with everyone who was able to be out on the razz last night... not so sorry to avoid a damp pants scenario!
My head is still sore but that may be on account of the fricking builders in my basement who managed to set off the alarm today which rang for 20 minutes without stopping. My neighbours must love us.
Laters.

brightlikeme1211 · 26/07/2014 13:08

Whop Ate that ???????

bigTillyMint · 26/07/2014 13:40

Top night out laydees, despite the damp pantsGrin Sorry I missed saying goodbye BD, I didn't realise you were off as we charged aheadBlush But I am in (shortly on my own) if you fancy popping in - only down the road from your day out today!

Lovely breakfast out with Stropps - our downstairs was like a teenage cave as both had mates sleeping over - DD is 15 todayShock

bigTillyMint · 26/07/2014 15:13

Trying to do a Hatty and stain our dining chairs much darker. It's a long, boring job, even out in the sun.

QQ missed you last night - hope the headache's gone now!

And yes to glam Rudy. Even with her bra on her headGrin
