Really jealous pixie that picture brings back some lovely memories of a Scout expedition to Kenya in my youth!! Have a cold one for us! Sorry to hear about the jellyfish though painful.

BK28 · 17/03/2015 17:59

Don't get paranoid now rhu I have been relegated to making cake and sandwiches! It's DHs thing so I let him get on with it, nows takes the DS with him,I find a cream tea!!

Ilovelblue · 17/03/2015 18:22

Talking of cakes, the coffee and mandarin one seems to have turned out ok. Hope my friend approves.

..... and talking of Snowdonia, my overriding memory (love me or hate me) is of flying around and sometimes upside down around Snowdon in an RAF jet. The upside down bit was almost my undoing. Good job they'd packed my flying suit with sick bags just in case. That flight is my one and only claim to fame.

Rhubarb01 · 17/03/2015 19:01

So it must have been you then Ilove on at least one of the occasions I was standing on the side of a mountain watching a jet fly through at the same level as me. Hope I gave you a wave.

Paintedcherryblossoms · 17/03/2015 19:27

Wow ilove impressive got images of top gun

Richtea19 · 17/03/2015 19:29

Just back from work and vet and had a quick scan through, so much FF and rhubarb, can't wait to read yours!!!

Quick car update, turns out he had been in a very nasty cat fight and has a massive open wound on his tummy. It has got infected and has burst, yuk!!!!! More antibots and back in thurs. My vets look after the animals better than we look after our patients at the doctors!!!

About to have my tues eve of yoga and then glass of wine and fF and thread catch up, can't get any better :)

orphan · 17/03/2015 19:32

Lovely cake ilove.Smile

mummyreeds · 17/03/2015 19:38

Thanks guys for all your lovely messages of support. I am trying to be very positive about the job situation, doing some voluntary work and taking a computer course (and fitting in the odd coffee or two with friends!)
I'm after employment which will give me immense job satisfaction and think as Ilove soooo busy with her new role it's only fair I offer to take over as CJ's tour manager!
Also need to say how much I'm enjoying everyones brilliant ff and eagerly anticipate all updates. Rubarb no need for wobbles 'you are brilliant'!

orphan · 17/03/2015 19:40

Glad your cat is getting good treatment richtea. Cat bites are amazingly toxic. Fortunately our cat (unlike his predecessor) has a real aversion to going outside and when he does venture out, runs and hides if he sees any other cats.

BK28 · 17/03/2015 20:14

mummyr & I love don't mind who is managing the back by demand tour as long as I can have a slot!! Conveniently am local to The Hotel if we need to save on fuel!!!

Ilove nice cake!!

Some new pics of AT in the RT, sorry have to say it is CJ/BA all the way for me!!
Off to catch up on last nights BS42!!

Great business cards ice perhaps BAs agent could do with some to help generate some decent work for him!!

orphan · 17/03/2015 20:22

icemist do you think his card should also have "No iceberg job too big or small" as well?

Richtea19 · 17/03/2015 20:58

Yummy cake ilove.

pixie lovely pictures of Kenya, looks amazing! Hope your jelly fish sting goes away soon ... no idea how that works, but hopefully it's not too painful. Having to endure Esio Trot every night at the moment, and Mr Hoppy makes a jelly fish catcher (of sorts!), very strange! Anyway ... been finishing off the Baileys from Christmas, probably isn't helping! But if I have any chance of getting fit, having that in the fridge isn't going to help.

ilove and icemist - I hope you are both having lovely evenings. Cake looks yum ilove. Although, ice, why are you working on BAs cards when you are supposed to be at a work do? Love the cards though, I definitely think we (in the broadest sense!) could do a better job than his current PR company.

Richtea19 · 17/03/2015 21:54

icemist I love the business card, I might have to print it out and carry it around in my purse!

orphan dead right about the Under the Thatch, they are beautiful properties. Can you imagine being tucked away with CJ in one of those beautiful remote locations. Nothing but a log fire, fur blankets, wine and a syllabubs :) not a dirty nail in sight.

orphan · 17/03/2015 22:24

icemist that card's the biz! I'm dialing right now...

richtea have you stayed in one of their properties? Sadly, they're often much nicer than my own house and I'm almost crying when we have to leave!

orphan · 17/03/2015 22:26

And yes, cuddled up to CJ in front of the log fire, wrapped in a woven welsh blanket, sampling the syllabubs... Heaven!Smile

Ilovelblue · 17/03/2015 22:41

Richtea glad the cat is getting good treatment. I've had cats all my childhood and adult life so there's not much that fazes me really with them but I do remember one ginger tom cat who was a bit of a bully having an abscess that burst all over the kitchen floor. The smell was horrible.

Top Gun it certainly wasn't thankfully but imagine 5'3" me practically running across the tarmac to keep up with all those 6' and over pilots striding across to the aircraft. I was in borrowed boots with 4 pairs of socks as they were all far, far too big on me.

Venison casserole and coffee and mandarin cake went down very well earlier but as I said, my friend barely knows how to cook so she's easily pleased. She did take another big slice of cake away with her so it couldn't have been too bad though.

mummyr, sorry but however rubbish my new job handover has been, I will still find time to be CJ's tour manager. I will, however, as a special concession, allow you to assist - how's that? After all, he needs a hairdresser and a stylist (we need to get rid of that vomit-inducing suede jacket for starters). You up for that? Have a feeling our soft tape measure ladies may want a slice of the action though....?

My plumber is a nice enough guy but I would choose CJ over him any day. I wouldn't care what CJ's daily rates were. Imagine having him scrabbling around your pipes! Blush

Nickel45 · 17/03/2015 22:47

Still pretty awesome ilove
(the Top Gun moment, not the cat abscess ... although come to think of it, CJ scrabbling through my pipes ... hmm..!)

orphan · 17/03/2015 22:53

Where's woof when you need her for plumbing innuendo - stopcock, overflow etc?!

Ilovelblue · 17/03/2015 22:54

Nickel I would pay good money to have him scrabbling around my pipes!! Blush Blush
