The brand spanking new Joseph thread.

Hellllloooooo! Anyone there?

Ooh, previews start tonight

Yes I did go to bed at 9am but didn't get to sleep until after midnight, terrible indegestion due to replacing alocohol with chocolate. I can't seem to tolerate it since I've started being good

You smokers, did you miss fags or booze more when pregnant? I found that I missed fags much more with first pregnancy but when I had my first fag, it was horrible and I was cured for good - lucky me.

When is the press night do you know?

Aw. I've got to go now and get dd ready for school

I never seem to be here at the same time as anyone else. Pah.

Will call in later.

Berrie, if Lees is having a party next Sat (the day before my 21st), what about his performances???

After the show

Press night 17th July.

Really got to go now. See you later.

Nurofen please. Just downed a can of diet coke in one. Now about to hit the coffee and water. I blame the well dodgy Co-op wine I bought. Shoulda gone for the cava, much classier!

And no, I didn't miss fags one bit when preggnant. Strange but true. hehehe

Berrie revels smugly in her clear head whilst planning to visit co-op later...

Oh yes, while I think about it...
Have an 'informal interview' next week. Do I need to buy a blouse? I've been such odd shapes these past few summers I don't seem to have anything suitable. Would a new t-shirt and skirt be too scruffy?

Skirt and a nice little v neck jumper should do the trick. Last time I looked M&S are doing them for around £12. New Look etc a lot cheaper!
Good luck!

What if it's hot? Strange thought I know...

I did miss smoking whikle pg, but then I was quite stressed a lot of the time in the first trimester, and I always smoked when stressed before being pg.
I'm surprisingly clear headed this morning, despite finishing the whole bottle on my own. DP was drinking water (most unusual for him).

Oh cava doesn't count

Fizzy grape juice

Which reminds me, you asked about the elderberry.
We make elderberry, raisin and malt wine in vast, vast quantities It's lovely but together with an anti histimine the other day rather head wrecking!
This year I've got an orchard allotment {grin] so we are hoping to branch out into wine of whatever we find is growing on the trees.
I can send you the recipe if you really think you might make some.

Berrie, I'm loving the optimism! Yes, it could be warm, stranger things have happened in July! Personally, I'm going for the vest under a light blouse/top look, which isn't too bad. Again, all the cheapo shops have got this stuff which is fab.

Head's still banging and I drank nowhere near as much as Lyra last night. I'm sticking with cava from now on.

Ah, you have rminded me of a long shirt/blouse thing I have though DH says I look like a bacon frazzle in it

Men can be so cruel.

Could be worse...he could have said huge bacon frazzle

Errrr, Berrie...

I am going to show on 14th July - please tell me Lee's having his party AFTER the show and not having the night off for it?

Yeah yeah, after the show. You should try and gatecrash!

Is it worth mentioning your name?

I wish

Where to start?
Ex-smokers - tell me your secret! Not that I've ever smoked but have decided that my love of sweet foods is just as powerful an addiction - how do I give up (thus losing a couple of stone effortlessly and ensuring Lee falls for me - because let's face it, I bet a twelve stone heifer like me isn't go to be his style )
Berrie: for work (teaching) I wear a skirt and t-shirt-but-smart style top (cream with fancy edging round the v-neck). Can't get blouses to fit due to Jordanesque boobs. That might do for your interview. BHS had some nice ones a month or so ago.
And the naked but for slippers and multi-coloured condom image? Not doing it for me in the way the black vest did, I have to say

Ha 12 stone is sylph like compared to me...I can add a stone to that (at least)....and Lee never complained about my undulating curves (that at least is true)

Like I said though, can't seem to do the sweet stuff since I started being healthy and as for the fags, just didn't like them when trying again after first baby...sorry
