Doctors Addicts Anonymous Continued - the waiting room is full

[MsNobodyAgain]

This is a thread for all fans of the weekday soap Doctors, BBC1, 1.45pm. However, it's taking its annual break from 21st June until it returns on 22nd July.

Therefore, us fans are waiting patiently in the virtual waiting room.

• Mrs T is rearrrrrrrrrrranging the leaflets
• Zaniel are getting frisky in the cupboard (again)
• Al is spying on Jas eating her lunch (disclaimer: he may fancy the lunch more than Jas)

So regulars please sign in and take a seat. Newbies very welcome indeed as we plan to keep the thread going by talking drivel throughout the break. 'Tis fun

Number 1 - Freya's gone (who?)
6 and 9 - not in the waiting room please

Ok, the last one doesn't rhyme

Big at Gobbyplods truncheon. Where's a cactus when you need one?

ooh- I've just discovered something completely un-related to anything, that everyone else probably already knew.

I put stamp on an envelope, the envelope wouldn't stick, decided to try and remove stamp, and put it on another envelope.

YOU CAN'T!!

When you try to peel it, there are 2 teeny little holes and it would be impossible to pick off the tiny sticky bits left behind and re-assemble said stamp. So no more re-using stamps that miss the franking machine.
never done that in my life, honest

This was after i queued for ages at the Post Office, to buy ONE stamp, btw tight

How long is it since you used a proper stamp? They have been like that for ages you donut!

Oh Raahh you have to cut round the stamp on the envelope and then glue the stamp and small square of envelope behind it onto the new envelope!

Like old fashioned price stickers.

Still waiting.

Anne- I'm really not very bright

MsN mmmmmm donuts......

I suppose I must have used stamps at Christmas. And most of those went out with olympic logo'd stamps on.

You have also learned to seal the envelope before putting te stamp on

Heston would have a night cap too.

cinnamon- yes!!! I have!

Alpha-like Wee Willie Winkie?

He probably has a red velvet smoking jacket too, for when he has a laydee over.

Zara- definitely just a squirt of Chanel no 5 kind of gal (if you can get the shoes off her feet)

Daniel probably has similar pj's to Heston. he just never gets towear them

Raahh - I'm still using Christmas stamps from about 3 years ago, I bulk buy every Christmas and always forget that I have an accumulated stash left over from previous years. Beats the prices rises though.

Back from hospital, it was a bit grim as one of the pins had got itself buried under the skin and the Dr had to poke around the wound for what seemed like about 10 mins before he found it, luckily it was the friendly consultant and not some junior Doc. The nurses were very good at distracting DS. Still in a cast though, got to go back again next Fri and have that one off.

Oh yes, stopped at the shops on the way home, plenty of bunting in the 99p Store.

I can't stop thinking of TBFE ins his flat cap Anne ...
I bought loads of stamps (at least 100+) before the last price rise, was it in 2011. I still have loads left, cos the letters we get with stamps on are not usually franked, so I do as Anne does -glue them onto a new envelope.
Tight much me

I never seem to get any proper letters anymore, only birthday and Christmas cards.

who poor DS. I bet you will both be glad when it is all over.

Ahem, bunting...pray tell EXACTLY the name of the shop you found it in please. I have been in Poundland/Poundstretcher and Home Bargains and there was nothing.

I may have to resort to trying the fancy dress stall on the indoor market but I don't like going there as it smells of fish (the market, not the stall)

I'm glad to see the random nonsense continues on this thread! I'm missing my secret Doctors watching sessions - not much hope of getting hold of the tv control in the summer holidays though .

What is all the bunting for?

For the royal birth .

The neighbours are used to me getting the bunting out at every opportunity.

Although I may miss out unless who shares her source.

And hoggy can you record Doctors and watch it later or is it too shameful to admit you watch it to anyone else?

This is where single parents have the advantage. My house, my tv, my remote. Wa ha ha ha!

I watch on laptop or phone in the Hols HoggyTruffle, great thing about iplayer

Sorry, been out drinking. It was in 99p Store which are mainly in the South according to that Poundshop Wars documentary the other week. .

Thanks. We don't have one so it's off to the market for me tomorrow.

Must have missed your post Whoknowswherethetimegoes, glad they're out and hope getting his cast off is quick next week bet he'll be so pleased :)

@ MsN and her bunting hunt.

I was like that last year- didn't bother with bunting or jubilee stuff at all. Then dd's Rainbows (group? pack??) decided to do a Jubilee/Olympics/Wear union flags type thing about 3 weeks later. When there was bugger all left. One day- flags in every shop going- next, nada. I finally managed to get a hat and a little flag. I am a useless parent.

That reminds me- today is 'Wimbledon' themed. I need to find her shorts...

I was full of good intentions this week to actually tidy the house (a bit) now the tennis is over. But its tooooooooo waaaarrrrmmm . So, I am currently watching the tweenies, whilst drinking a cup of coffee that has been warmed up in the microwave so many times it will probably kill me.
