Just wondering ladies whether we should let CJ have another short tour of the UK before he (hopefully) disappears off to South Africa in January.

What do you think? Are we up for it?

Birthday greetings richtea!! CakeWine
Hope you're seeing these posts in double as it means your liquid lunch was a good one!

Now, now woof as you know very well the entire Bulgarian male gymnastic squad nicknamed me 'Fruit Bowl' due to the impressive amount of bananas I could hold. The photographic evidence is still impounded

KellyHb · 30/09/2015 17:43

Put it this way ilove after the stressful week I've had, a visit from CJ would be right up my alley and he can pop my visitational cherry as it were. Confused

Happy birthday richteaWine Cake
Hope you and the little ones are feeling better kelly. And they have been good for you today since you have had them all home.
orph/woof can we have some sort of stats after your 'experiment', I like to know how they rated and if Martin was worthwhile Wink
Feel a bit weird after a mate sent me an email with a video of another work colleague in a completion. I've now him for a long time and he is very artistic so thought it was something to do with that.... Oh no, it was him competing in a body building completion. Feel a bit dirty and in need of a shower after watching him in his little red pants flexing away. I knew he looked after himself but not like that! Off to shower and clear my mind!
Oh and loving greenstuffs new update.... I'd be CJs cleaner anyday Smile

KellyHb · 30/09/2015 20:25

Maddie oh dear. Commiserations on the shocking video. Hope when you see them next it won't be too awkward Blush

I got a bit of a shock this evening. It was an Aunt of mine's birthday yesterday. I sent her a card but didn't get a chance to speak to her until this evening. She's in her seventies but has problems with her kidneys and needs to go on a dialyses daily very soon. Apparently for someone in their seventies, a kidney should work 70 odd percent but hers is working less than 9%. She's too old for a transplant so dialyses is the only way to go and shes normally quite positive even in tough times but this evening she sounds very low and worried as she would for someone in her position. It just shakes you up a bit when you hear a relative really struggling when there's not much you can do and you're not used to hearing them like that, if it makes sense.

Oh well Dr Foster at 9.

Nickel45 · 30/09/2015 21:04

kel so sorry to hear about your aunt, hope you are ok xx

I just started checking the ff, and saw us referred to in the nz ff ... ilove did you email? Hello Kuiakaituhi if you are reading this. I am really enjoying the story, and finding out stuff about nz! Fab :)

orphan · 30/09/2015 22:09

kelly very sorry to hear about your aunt. Would dialysis have to be at the hospital or can she have it at home if it's daily? A friend's dd had daily home dialysis before having a transplant.

Oh dear maddie hope you don't have disturbing dreams about red pants, body oil and bulges in all the wrong places tonight...

And yes, I'm about to begin phase one of the experiment. Phallusbender is awaiting me in the bedroom laboratory. Strange actually that you mentioned red pants as he seems to be wearing some and very ltitle else. I'll just undo button up my lab coat and adjust my sexy scientist's specs and we'll begin.

orphan · 30/09/2015 22:16

I've booked Tom in for the weekend as I think I may have to spend longer on his testing. A sterile environment is critical to the validity of the experiment - any contamination from outside could skew results, therefore I'm thinking we should both be naked and maybe Tom needs a very thorough shower beforehand? Hope woof is being as rigorous with Martin.

Ilovelblue · 30/09/2015 22:32

God, what a stressful day at work. I spent nearly all morning on something which really has nothing to do with me and out of that came about a dozen other problems. Note to self: remember not to look up at the wrong moment as you always get lumbered.

Nickel didn't realise the NZ ff had been updated. Certainly wasn't me who emailed. I have no interest in (and no understanding of) rugby and hadn't a clue who SBW was. I think the clue was ONLYTEASING, aka woof. Am I right?

Off to bed as soon as the news finishes as I am so tired, my eyes are starting to itch and burn.

Nickel45 · 30/09/2015 22:44

You're right ilove I'd not read it before I posted, that'll teach me! Have a good sleep, I'm hitting the sack too, need an early night!!

Morning

I love that nearly a year after the series finished people are still bring inspired to write new and original FF. I have no idea how greenstuff does it!

Fell asleep on couch last night so totally missed the last 10 mins of GBBO and my plan for watching the 1st ep of Dr Foster went out the window.

Early train to London for me today. I don't know how regular commuters do it. It's the train to Liverpool St, so lots of young city types in suits wearing too much aftershave

MaddieMoo82 · 01/10/2015 07:30

Morning all dark and wintery here this morning. Missed GBBO and dr foster as went to bed early. Hopefully catch up on them today. Taking my mum and dad to the station today, they are off to South Africa! Very jealous!
kelly hope that your auntie is ok, it must be really hard to comprehend the thought of constant dialysis, I know though that the unit in the hospital I work in is lovely With fab staff. A lot of the patients get to know the nurses and other patients well and it becomes quite a socialable place.
orphan I hope your are partaking in a blind-fold- part of the experiment too.
Already looking forward to greenstuffs update later!

orphan · 01/10/2015 07:52

maddie yes but slightly different to the norm as the test subjects have to be blindfolded so they can't see me approaching wIping the drool off my chin

KellyHb · 01/10/2015 08:10

Morning all.

Sunny day here but cold.

Thanks nickel orph Maddie for the thoughts. orph she's having dialysis at home.

Keeping all kids off again as they're not great still. Twin that was well is now ill twin anyway.

I watched last weeks Doctor Foster last night as I couldn't remember all what happened but ill catch up today on last night's episode. But I find myself distracted by Gemma constantly moving her hair about Confused

Hunted is on tonight. Hope Cpt Blakely's in it. I was starved of his rugged handsomeness last week.

No CJ lookalikes on the train pix??

Ilovelblue · 01/10/2015 08:13

Sorry to hear your news Kelly. Just as your Mum is on the road to recovery too.

Bit misty here today but the sun is trying to get out. Can't believe it's October now.

Ilovelblue · 01/10/2015 08:18

Thought Dr Foster was hard to follow towards the end last night but I was trying to finish off my photo calendars at the same time as the 2 for 1 offer finishes tonight. Do I need to watch it again or can somebody explain?

pixieg1rl · 01/10/2015 08:25

No Kelly, there is a bald man snoring with his mouth wide open though.

KellyHb · 01/10/2015 08:50

You have my sympathies, pix

KellyHb · 01/10/2015 09:59

Thanks ilove.

Love the second pic ice. It just showed the huge difference the way CJ was with Molly there compared to what he was like with her on the tarmac at Brize.

cjwoofwoof · 01/10/2015 10:31

Poor you kel you are having a basinful of bad news/events lately - you're defo in need of a CJ rubdown and head massage I feel, or maybe a good scything from AT? Life's pants sometimes...

Unfortunately mad I'm definitely going to need a blindfold to conduct my side of the experiment with Tom/Martin whilst orph is busy with Fastandbendy short straw for me yet again Envy She did, however, fail to mention that whilst she was known as Fruit Bowl by the Bulgarian gymnastic team, I was called Fruit Salad by the Ukranian Rings squad for my well known variety of very unusual gymnastic positions using bananas or other similar shaped props during the floor routines Grin

KellyHb · 01/10/2015 13:05

Thanks woof. Yes it is pants sometimes.

Had a p*taking delivery driver just at the door. He had a totally cocky attitude and handed me a package he said was for our address and then when I realised it was for someone in the next street, he'd hotfooted it back in his van and drove off when I tried to get his attention right by him!

If he's not careful next time I see him, I'll get woof to conduct some extra gymnastic experiments on him involving bananas in some rather painful places. Angry
