Ooh pix you lucky girl getting to spend the afternoon with Matthias in his farmers smock and neckerchief He's currently top of my list of invitees to the AGM wrestling.

It's a totty fest next week too - not only is Strike Back returning but Banshee too. Antony Starr is totally yummy, esp with his kit off, which is virtually every episode, fortunately. My cup or certainly something runneth over

Nice day for a wedding ice hope you have a lovely day, esp as it's now been enhanced by a CJ stopover lucky girl

Oh yes pixie you're in for a treat with Matthias. That smock hides a very naked wrestling worthy body and he can dip a sheep like nobody's business.

Have a fab time at the wedding ice. Keep CJ close; I wouldn't trust other women with him including the bride. Oh, and if there's an over familiar waitress at the reception offering CJ nibbles, it may well be myself, if I can shave my chest hair and find my polyester French maid's outfit in time. I think Rupert may have it and he certainly wears it better than me

And I'll be the big tattooed hairy bouncer on the door stopping all French Maids from entering, whilst frisking all handsome plus-ones with a full pat-down

If your weather is anything like ours ice perfect weather for a wedding and seeing CJ's hair blowing about in blustery conditions have a brilliant time!

Yet again thank you all for your lovely comments, mean so much! Think I might take a wee break enjoy my wine and thoroughly enjoy all the fab ff that's out there and the comedy show that is orphan and woof you should both have a TV series a la French & Saunders!!!

pixie I had a moment a month or so ago where I though I had hit decompression then I lurked on here and saw jen saying that nyota would be a brilliant 2nd series and that was my decompression gone. You are such a fantastic writer I could see it all and got a little bit excited at the thought , never doubt yourself and have a brilliant day x

I am fortunately nightshift so am away to hit my pit

Hah! That was easy. Spotted orph straightaway at the Reception hall eyeing up the prosecco toasting bottles and shamelessly wiggling her pert yet vast frilly spanx derrière at a waiter accomplice in full dinner suit with very good cheekbones and surplus red duct tape dangling through his flies. I swooped in and manhandled them both straight through the exit, but couldn't stop them from grabbing a few bottles on their way out, unfortunately. Coast should be clear for ice and CJ's arrival later. Just warming my hands now in preparation for the full body search of CJ before admittance.

I am fully behind the inclusion of Matthias in the naked wrestling. He can mop me down with his neckerchief any day.

Perfect weather for a wedding ice, be careful of lurking strangers...!

Pixie enjoy your afternoon.

My day started lovely with a lie in, few car runs with kids and then gardening. Until when mowing the grass out the front, I lifted one of the rocks around the edge of garden to find two of those silver capsule things. Those that have little ones might not be aware of them. They are what they call a legal high. It's a laughing gas I think? There's been stuff on Facebook telling you how dangerous they can be. I called eldest DS who was revising to tell him to be careful etc, when he told me they were his. I am totally shocked and so very disappointed in him. Both DH and I gave him the don't do drugs talk but it seemed to fall on deaf ears. He is now grounded big time and no pocket money for the foreseeable future.

He seemed to think we were over reacting but my thought is that if you start doing stuff like that it can only lead on to other stuff.

I bought my ingredients for my "Orphan" Cosmo this morning, I think I am going to need it. Parenting is bloody hard!

Oh Rich that's a shocker. We've got major drug issues at eldests school, they even have impromptu sniffer dogs several times a term, and we're hardly a cliched "inner city sink estate" school. Trouble is, the kids think nothing of smoking dope, taking pills, legal highs etc, it's just normal stuff to them, like the binge drinking, which is an even bigger worry. Plus of course it's all so cheap and easily accessible. You just have to hope they have the common sense to see the pitfalls and respect you enough to not get involved when you tell them not to. It's a major worry and I really feel for you. I'm sure your son is smart enough to know getting involved in this stuff is not a wise move.

Lovely day for a wedding ice enjoy!

Just driven across Salisbury Plain to pick up new bikes - just to keep DH happy, not sure how much use mine is going to get??!! All I could think of was woofs tale of seeking Poldark!! DH commented on what I was grinning about.

Really feel for you rich the old drugs thing is a hard chestnut - you don't want to come over as too harsh,, but you want them to get the message. I know with DS at uni all you can do is trust that they have got the brains to be sensible!! Fortunately with the binge drinking, I think one evening with 10 pints of cider and a 3 day bout of alcohol poisoning, singing into the great white telephone meant he has actually learnt his limit!! no repeats so far. At least it happened at home and not away!! My DH filmed it so he could actually see what a state he was in!!

Thanks BK and woof we are trying not to go completley bonkers with him, but he is grounded!

And now because I deserve it, I'm havinf a Cosmopolitan. Not quite sure if I've done it right and couldn't find the shaker so I mixed it in a jug, but it seems to be going down well

rich that sounds difficult. How old is he? At the risk of sounding like a total Pollyanna it's really positive that he admitted it to you. In my (very short lived) experimental days I would never have admitted anything to my parents.

pixie he's 16. And yes you are totally right about admitting to us. I wouldn't tell him, but I'm sure if it was me I would of told the truth at his age. I know they are all going to experiment, blimey I did! But I'm sure I was older than 16, and also these days there's more harmful stuff out there.

Oh rich it's scary isn't it when your children are older? I don't think my ds is into drugs but you never really know I suppose. He is however an old hand (seemingly since he turned 18 when he was suddenly an expert in drinks) at the binge drinking. He's just gone out tonight actually for another 18th party. When do you think the novelty of legal drinking will wear off ? says she with another Cosmo in her hand Oh and that's the last of my vodka.

Ha! woof after I'd had my fun with your decoy and left him a mere drained husk of a man I cunningly hid myself in the wedding cake. Imagine CJ's surprise (and the bride and groom's) when I popped out, tassels twirling, (I'd ditched the French maid outfit for one of our old vaudeville costumes) and treated all and sundry with a pared down version of my nut cracking finale. It's fairly safe to say no one had seen anything like it.

Your Cosmo looks good richtea Mine's a bit paler - obvs, less cranberry and more vodka!

Yeah, the stuff out there these days is a lot stronger than it was when I was at that age, and there was a lot less of the 'legal' highs about as well. E was the scary new drug when I was that age, luckily I was a wuss about that sort of thing.

In tales from the other end of the parenting spectrum I've had to sing Let it go to DS as he did a poo. I don't know where this entertainment while you poo thing came from but no doubt it's coming to a public loo soon.

orphan would love to have seen your surprise from that cake! I'm a light weight with drink, but maybe my next mix will be paler!

pixie I remember the whole E thing, but what I do remember, (I never did it, too scared) a couple of my friends used to take a line of coke before a night out, because they would say it was a cheap night.. No need for alcohol, they would just drink water. Vodka and Orange in those days was enough for me!

pixie that's so funny! I remember putting a floating ball in the loo, in the hope that the boys would aim for the target! I now can't get the Let it Go tune out my mind!

woof I see that my Cosmo haze led me to misread your post. You referred to my accomplice, Rupert, and not the rather dashing man I grappled with under the top table. I assumed he was a decoy you'd set up, but I now realise I traumatised an actual guest.

Oh and yes Rupert did cut a dash in his waiter getup and showed me a rather interesting way of opening a bottle of prosecco. I think he was a tad jealous of my encounter with the mistaken decoy/guest and I've had to be extra nice to him tonight - watch Homeland DVD and compliment him on his cheekbones whilst booing whenever The Sausage appears.

Here's a pic of CJ at the wedding

Yes ice I do believe that's the moment he saw me emerge from the cake.

Hope you are having a good time ice, your boys and CJ of course looked adorable!

My DH (or not-so-DH at the moment) has just managed to break DDs bed, by leaning on the end of it, meaning the end has come off the base! Really need one of those of cocktails right about now!!!

When you said CJ at the wedding ice, I thought you meant our cj, who I spotted leaving the wedding earlier
