puts wine in fridge

Happy birthday to Mr Rich, and good luck with keeping the children out of the booze.

Morning all

Just back from the gym and starving! I've had some fruit and yoghurt with the aim of resisting the M&Ms in the cupboard. I'm trying to save those for eurovision tmrw.

It sounds like it's a week for renewing and cancelling dramas. I see Nashville has been dropped ....gutted about that. At least we've got the last season still to watch in the UK.

Haven't watched Indian summers or home fires....was hoping to definitely do Indian summers but almost doesn't seem worth it now!

ilove that's a fab amount to raise. Well done.

Happy birthday Mr Rich hope you all have a good party tmrw.

Oh well guess I best move and get on with the housework.......joy!

I'm reading the AIBU 1970's version, it's hilarious www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2635725-AIBU-in-the-1970s

Article on last night and few pictures

I'm game for a Eurovision watch along on here pix if no one else minds too much. I simply can't keep up with the main Euovision thread because they can get through a thousand posts in two hours! I didn't watch any yesterday until after 9pm but I found the reprise bits at the end were quite enough! I think it was probably slightly better than Tuesday but looks like it's eastern Europe heavy as per usual. I'm sure the experience will be greatly enhanced by a bottle in the fridge - writes note to self!

Evening all. Long day getting back from Derbyshire but lovely holiday. Only one day of rain over the week which is pretty good for summer in the uk! Really lovely place and would defiantly go back. Feel shattered though as minimads decided to wake everyday at 5.30am mrmads reckons it was because he was on holiday and it will go back to after 6am now we home but I'm not hopeful

Well up for Eurovision watch along so count me in. Still technically on hols so will top up the wine and join you

Hope everyone's week has been ok (I know yours has kelly!) congratulations on the total for your plant sale ilove

What's with this emoji ?

Cast read through today (TG tweeted it)

Just wishing there was a zombie entry in Eurovision .
mooj any chance you are back in Essex this weekend?

Ha! Read that MEN article and the linked one about MK. They never once mentioned what Sean was wearing....

Great plant sale ilove
Been reading that thread pix, brilliant hilarious!!! And so true!!! Hee hee ... Just catching up. Been laid up alone last few days, so way behind!

Mads the angry bird emoji seems to be in homage to The Angry Birds Movie which is sponsoring AIBU threads - yes a bit cringey isn't it?

Well ice are you sure that TG tweeted that photo or did you have an SAS style camera drilled through the partition wall to take that pic?

Can anyone see BA on that photo - my eyes aren't what they used to be even with a magnifiying glass.

Used to love Angela Lonsdale as Curly's wife in Corrie! Ahh!

And if anyone looks startled it's probably because woof is under the table or orph has once again morphed into a very unusual chair.

P.S.Good work on the plant sale ilove.

No sign of BA at all. I asked TG where he was, he said he was 'under the table, wine o'clock eh Ben'

Sadly no nickel!

"Very interesting Mrs ice"- imagine that was delivered in a Blofeld type voice!

Don't get your hopes up too much Kelly but maybe BA was not in Manchester because he's needed for a little cameo in Bath? Or should we euphemistically refer to it as 'cameoing in Bath'

Ah cheers rhu had no idea about the angry birds thing!!

Ooh yes to cameoing in bath!!! (Although my predictive text wants to change it to canoeing in bath - not quite what we wanted to see )

One day, mooj!!!
Have a good weekend everyone (need a sun glasses emoji for the few weeks the sun is out!)

Morning all
Ooh nickel no sun here
Day being spent getting caught up with the joys of washing! Hopefully get out in the garden this afternoon though.
Looking forward to seeing some more Manchester filming pictures over the coming weeks.
Have a good day everyone!

nickel I will be popping down in summer hols for sure as dh working, so there is hope!

Ooh, me too mooj & nickel!!!

pixie & nickel, we need to sort a date!

Afternoon all. Been tied up for a couple of evenings and work has been busy (plus a sulky PC which wouldn't work properly) so been keeping abreast but not posting.

Glad you had a lovely holiday Maddie. Back to work next week?

Had to go to the chiropodist this morning as I have a problem with a sometimes ingrowing toenail. I recognise the signs so it's best to get it treated. Had to have it removed following an accident a few years back but it's never grown back properly. After that this morning, as it was easily sorted, I treated myself to a shellac polish on my toe nails at a nearby salon. Mooj were you asking about shellac a while back?

Going to get the tomatoes into their growbags for the summer in the greenhouse just as soon as I've finished my lunch. It's nearly 30 C in there so think I will get changed before I go in. It's lovely and sunny here today though with a chill wind if the sun goes in.

I know where the restaurant is where the OG crew were photographed. Have you ever been in ice? If we're up that end of the city centre, we usually go to Jamie Oliver's just across the road. I wonder where BA was?

Afternoon ladies. Just on tram home after an afternoon of retail therapy and the sun is shining again. Might be able to wear my new sandals tonight. Meeting a friend for a drink - my birthday on Tuesday was postponed during to inspection at school. Did make up for it my drinking bottle of prosecco last night there needs to be a prosecco emoji !!

I've never been ilove I believe it's yummy. Where all the slebs and footballers go

No idea where Mr A was. Although with Ms R also in Manchester, he may have been around. Lots missing from cast photo though

Evening ladies - present and correct for any fellow Eurovision watchers!
