Evening Smile having a nice glass of wine while CJ cooks me dinner. He really is the perfect man. If he keeps this up I might let him poke around in my bunker WinkGrin

Great idea richtea, think I might have a Baileys (all I have in the house, or that Stags Breath whisky). Given I am still working, and probably will be most of the evening, I think Baileys is probably the best option!

Think I might have to put OG on in the background too .. need a bit of CJ shouting to put some bloody effort in, really not in the mood to carry on working!

Onlygirljen · 02/04/2015 19:56

Evening all. Been having a work nightmare last couple of days, all hands on deck. Had to work 28 hours in 2 days Sad. Anyway, finally finished for Easter, yay! Kids finished school, came home to a nice meal made by DH, evening is looking up! Think I need to follow richtea's example and get a drink in my hand!

ice when is CJ coming my way? Are you keeping him for the whole weekend?

That sounds horrible jen. I hope you're nearly done as well Nickel. I prescribe booze and relaxing baths all round.

mummyreeds · 02/04/2015 20:30

My waiting around on the hard shoulder of the M6 to intercept CJ's journey from ILove to Icemist didn't work!! The AA uniform just doesn't cut it when compared with low slung combats!!!

mummyr it has to be low slung combats :) An orange hi vis, just isn't the same!

jen hope you manage to get work out of your head and can relax now. I've a few more hours to do, probably until the septic tanks finish for the day (they don't seem to work extra hours!) but will check in here every so often, so feel free to entertain me! No pressure!!!! :)

Tonight's a bit different to the last two evenings now CJ has gone. Decided to be a good citizen and listen to the political leaders' debate on ITV. Am tired and had a glass of wine with tea before so not in the mood to listen to them all squabbling. Going to catch up on the ff then may go to bed early. Had a few late nights this week. Wink

Don't forget me this was iloves stated running order quote copied as follows ""

"I've been going through the requests for CJ's tour. At the moment, it stands like this:

Me (ooh, can't wait for tonight)
Icemist
Jen
Painted
Me (if I take him to Amsterdam)
Mummyreeds
Apsara
Pixie

After that, it looks as if he's free again, so shout out if you want him to visit".

Nickel45 · 02/04/2015 23:16

I could do with CJ to massage my shoulders for a start, finally finished working for the night, now hitting my pit to read zombies, as I've got an early start in the morning. Yawn, night all!

Pouring down here too. It-s traditional to plant your potatoes on Good Friday so hope it fairs up later. A choice of cleaning up, sewing or maybe re-reading some of my favourite ff...?

ice is CJ having a lie in?

Happy Good Friday :)

pixieg1rl · 03/04/2015 11:29

Slow bank holiday here. OH is at work (doesn't get bank holidays) so it's just me and DS. So far 2 loads of laundry and the washing up. DS now taken up position on the ipad while I try to get on with writing some ff. It's not going well.

Paintedcherryblossoms · 03/04/2015 12:14

I always get the cleaning bug it's the only time I get to do anything other than the bare minimum is when I am not working and supposed to be having a rest. Still it will be ship shape for when a certain captain J arrives and burning calories ahead of nibbling what better be a luxurious egg from my DH on Sunday Smile

Onlygirljen · 03/04/2015 12:56

Feeling your pain on the ff front pixie Confused (and also on the DH not getting public holidays!!)

Richtea19 · 03/04/2015 13:31

Good Friday to you all!

DH and I have just had a major sort out of paperwork (yuk, worst ever job), but we are now feeling very accomplished! Bin bag full of shredding and tidy folders and filing cabinet. painted I know what you mean about cleaning, normally I only dust when we have visitors but sometimes I get a massive cleaning bug and have a whole day top to bottom...not today though!

We are off to London tonight with some friends for a meal to celebrate our friends birthday. Very excited. It's a swanky resturant in Knightsbridge. He is a celeb chef, Nathan Outlaw. I had never heard of him but apparently he has a Michelin star! Another possible BA sighting opportunity.

Paintedcherryblossoms · 03/04/2015 13:58

Sounds wonderful rich what a treat have a fab time Smile and keep your eyes peeled ...was there for work yesterday and sadly no luck Sad

Ilovelblue · 03/04/2015 14:06

Agree about cleaning! Got a friend coming from Manchester on Easter Monday so will have to make the effort to clean up for her at some point.

Got all my potatoes planted this morning and having a late lunch whilst skipping through the best bits of episode 4.

Ilovelblue · 03/04/2015 14:09

Enjoy your meal tonight Richtea. It sounds a lovely treat. Let us know what you have to eat! We can share your pleasure vicariously.

moojangles · 03/04/2015 14:48

Rubbish weather here but tomatoes planted, airing cupboard tidied & lots of clothes recycled. Bank holiday business for sure.
Hope the ff gets easier pixie and jen

Richtea enjoy your meal tonight, sounds amazing

Happy Easter everyone

moojangles · 03/04/2015 15:21

pixie and jen, know your stories will continue to be brilliant
