Ding Dong the Enemy's dead!

[JanD]

Jealous of the holiday countdowns We don't have anything else booked at the mo - time off work in Sept but no hol booked .... yet

TOTM ... what a pain .... I THINK I'm just about finished with them now but the fluctuations/uncertainty goes on for years!! Sorry folks!

Iris! If you insist on a cake, cup cake size will be great - more would be - well you know I'd only eat it and I really don't want to ... OH you know what I mean. But please don't feel you have to do it!! It's not till Sat when all said and done!

I must try to find the address again in my pms or I won't know where I'm coming - I never wrote it down!

As for our meet ... where is the main thing - you're all still welcome here. I'm just wondering where's easiest for Tan she's the furthest away. Maybe we should pinpoint our locations on a map and find a place that's equidistant from all of us ..... ??? xx

Having some grilled bacon, dry fried egg and tomatoes for breakfast, then heading to the shops for some holiday goodies.
The weather is atrocious this morning, heavy rain and a bit windy - where has the summer gone? I hope it warms up and dries up again soon.

Will catch up with the other threads later.

Hi Bev,

No, the shopping trip was a disaster, I went to Peacocks as I seen about 6 skirts online the other day that I liked, but when I got there, they didnt have one of the skirts that I had seen online. I ended up buying one boobtube.

Working tonight, so I will leave earlier than usual and head to George at Asda and see if I have any more luck then.

Still raining in Wales, crappy day.

 

[MiniB]

Shame about the shopping Mary. I want to Marks & Spencers today and they had some lovely holiday gear in. I was just looking though for some ideas for hols next year. I went to George at Asda a few weeks ago and they had loads of nice stuff in and the prices are really good too.

Really grey and overcast down here today too, oh well never mind! At least it's a long weekend for us cos of the bank holiday.

 

[kered]

Not for me - unfortunately I am nights tonight and tomorrow night, but at least I get the bank holiday Monday off.

Will let you know how i get on over at Asda tonight and I have to go to Swansea next Wednesday, so I can have a look in Marks and Spencers there, they also have a big primark, so I will see if they have anything too, and hopefully a big Peacocks so I can get the skirts I wanted. Will let you know how I get on.

I was also a 1lb heavier this morning, so I am putting it down to bloating with TOTM.

Iris, since I got sterilised in 1996 TOTM has been horrendously heavy, but over the last year I kept a spreadsheet, and instead of 13 through-out the year, I only had 11. This year, the first 4 months I only had 2, so thought they were on their way out, but the last 6-8 weeks, they have been fortnightly, but not so heavy.

Too early for me to get into holiday mood at the mo Iris, still 21 sleeps...........lol.

Nightmare!!! Just not fair what we have to go through - eh!

I keep thinking it is earlier for some reason! Wishful thinking for you I suppose!

ha! 7 more sleeps for me, and only two days to work next week. x

Lucky you!! I have NOTHING planned at all yet....havent a clue what we are doing! But,now looking at Kerala in India!!! Who knows, as we used to say in Scotland HAMEWILLDAEME!!!! (translation...home will do me ), ie,,,,,nowhere!! haha

Summer has deserted us today :-(..miserable weather is understatement of the year!!!!

 

[kered]

Disappointing shop at Asda, there wasn't really much that I liked, but I picked up a few things, to go to the changing rooms to try them on, and the changing rooms were closed.

Oh well, Swansea on Wednesday now lol.

 

[Scotsmist]

ah,,,sorry to hear that..always the way. When you want something, you either cant see it or nothing takes your fancy!

I saw some lovely clothes in Buxton today! I got a fab necklace in Dorothy Perkins that is a watch!! It is so Victorian looking...loved it and had to buy it...got £5 off, so got it for £15......bargain!!

 

[Scotsmist]

here it is
not sure if i have attached it properly

 

[kered]

The necklace looks lovely Iris, very unusual.

 

[JanD]

Yes that looks lovely Iris

Bad luck with the shopping Mary - frustrating that when you know what you want!

As for sharing a room when we meet. I wouldn't inflict myself on anyone - I snore!!! I know I do coz I wake myself up sometimes so best count me out of any sharing! xx

 

[kered]

LOL Jan, well its better than passing wind.

 

[JanD]

LOL Jan, well its better than passing wind.

Hey - I might to that too I don't know. All I know is if I do, it doesn't wake me up :8855::8855:

 

[kered]

I am really tired tonight, I might need to use my half hour break for a power nap later on, I have a long drive home in the morning - 45minutes, so I hate feeling this tired, so early on in the shift. 5 hours remaining.
