HURRAH, the damp patch in our kitchen will not require expensive rebuilding and I get to ring the Hot Plumber.

Cremolafoam · 02/03/2017 12:24

Lovely Rudy, please stay. Flowers

wordassociationfootball · 02/03/2017 13:04

Thank you Crem!

Cremolafoam · 02/03/2017 15:23

Pleasure Waf, and much more interesting than applying for jobs I don't really want.
How's your dm?

IDismyname · 02/03/2017 17:27

Right - I'm off to purrrrrr-chase Sloggis. Is there a particularly good place to get them from?

Rudy - You haven't missed much from my end. My usual daily ramblings are just twaddle...

I had 10 days (mainly) off, and haven't suffered hugely.

In other news S&B , Ive recently had some of this delivered. I have to say it smells rather nice, doesn't cost the earth, and seems to do the trick: Dry Body Oil
I may try some of the other stuff, too.

Lalsy · 02/03/2017 17:35

Oh hell, I don't know how to face you lot....I went to a big M and S and forgot which knickers I like BlushSmile

Cloud, please report back - is it the shorts type ones everyone likes?

BTM, hope today has been calmer and you sleep better tonight. Would you like a bit of local walking in the Easter holidays to get away from the revisers?

magimedi · 02/03/2017 17:36

Debenhams have a 20% off offer on the whole Sloggi range atm.

magimedi · 02/03/2017 17:38

It's the midi ones I've always worn:

But I am large of arse & don't like briefs!!

Cremolafoam · 02/03/2017 17:39

here Cloud for the Tai briefs.

bigTillyMint · 02/03/2017 17:43

Rudy, I feel like I'm keeping up - sure it doesn't matter - please don't go!
It seems that quite a few of us are faltering. Hugs to you Rudy, BD and Cremo. And anyone else who wants or needs one!

Managed to stay awake (well no chance of sleeping on my job!) without bursting into tears, and didn't strangle any little darlings, though one came closeSmile It seems DS may have got a decent grade in his Physics which is great news. And DD has managed to sort her own repeat prescription, thank God!

bigTillyMint · 02/03/2017 17:45

Ooh Lalsy, Easter walking sounds good! I will be here most of the time - got to go up to see DM and to my cousins wedding over Easter weekend.

Talking of which, are there no recommendations for a frock?!

bigTillyMint · 02/03/2017 17:51

That should have said I don't quite feel like I'm keeping up!

Lalsy · 02/03/2017 18:02

Oooh Magi.

Good, BTM, suspect I will be stuck here too.

motherinferior · 02/03/2017 18:06

I have no plans to go away...

New bras are very nice - even my 'nude' one is quite racy-lacy and DD1 charmed with her raspberry-pink moulded one. BargainSmile

Rosebag · 02/03/2017 18:45

Did someone say frock? Always up for a new frock challenge... What are your requirements, BTM ?

Do stay Rudy

Must run, class is arriving...

bigTillyMint · 02/03/2017 19:58

Nothing really, just something suitable for a wedding but not too formal. No hat Smile

MrsWobble3 · 03/03/2017 08:11

Crumbc Crepeys - we're off the first page! Anyone would think we had real lives to get on with!

Lalsy · 03/03/2017 08:21

Phew. The thought of frocks doesn't usually silence us or indeed anything else

And I like this one BTM very fresh modern and Springy ( on Rose's link) good colour on a blonde too , if you still are?
What are your colours? Do you like midi or maxi hem length?

Cremolafoam · 03/03/2017 11:11

Rudy , that coral dress is lush.
BTM, outfits here but maybe too froufrou

motherinferior · 03/03/2017 12:11

I have just spent 20 (twenty, xx) minutes on instant messenger trying to work out why my dad had apparently not checked into his hotel in JOHANNESBURG. He is now found. Of course this had to be a conversation with someone I know of whom I am in awe and have a slight crush on who must now think I am a total airhead...

herbaceous · 03/03/2017 12:18

What ho crepies. Nice dresses ladies. Well played. Wouldn't it be great if we could all get together at some posh do, all in our best frocks, and get sloshed on champers and have a ball. We need someone to get married. BD? MI? Me?

Talking of marital relations, I confronted DP with the fact that I won't put up with him ignoring me for days on end any more. Would he do that to people in the office? Doesn't it drive him mad when DS does it to him? He went all hangdog, and said 'I'm not a bad person', like he normally does, but I didn't let him deflect me. Yes, you're a good person to the world but don't forget I exist and have feelings. So, we shall see.

You know that editorship I had the interview for? And the finally gave it to someone from Cross Stitch Monthly, or something? Apparently she's left already, after a few months, as the Big Boss bullied her so badly. This is what's happened to the past few editors. The post is being advertised again, but I think I'll pass...

motherinferior · 03/03/2017 12:19

YESSSS.
