Bridge .xxx.

Morning Chris,

Beautiful morning btw - Hope the California was returned in pristine condition.

Seeing as you said it yourself - I hope no-one minds if I drag this over from yesterday's blog.
Morning Bloggers,

Couldn't sleep much last night so penned this little appeal to the tune of Jingle Bells.
I'd like to dedicate it (now that we are in December) to Beez....

Happy Christmas Beez x

Ring Hels bells
Ring Hels Bells
The blog's in disarray
Chris's Christmas doo has been announced
The tickets go today

Ring Hels Bells
Ring Hels Bells
It's not that far away
How on earth do we get there
The queue starts here ok!

Dashing through the posts
In a mostly manic way
Bingo's take a while
But are worth it anyway
How do we get in?
Do we have to fight?
I would sell Deev's hareem
To be there on that night

Ring Hels Bells
Ring Hels Bells
I'd just like to say
We're such big fans of CLP
That most of us would pay

Ring Hels Bells
Ring Hels Bells
There must be a way
If I go as Chris will I get in
By giving it a large Wahay?!

Now listening to the show
In a very nervous state
I've dialled the hotline number
The bloody thing's engaged
Who's idea was this?
It wasn't very bright
Evans says the lines are closed
Now I'm not going - Oh Sh**e!

Ring Hels Bells
Ring Hels Bells
Clodagh's on her way
She's packed her firmest rolling pin
We might just be ok!

Ring Hels Bells
Ring Hels Bells
I want to come and play
If I can't get in as a VIP
How about reserve D.J????

Rips

also dragged over - my response
Utterley brilliant the Mighty Rips !!! Thank you you eejit. OK - I give in you can mention Chri.......... Chris.... well I can't yet but feel free.
Big hugs poppet xxx
Doubt I will make the 23rd with all I have to do for the old gits so you will just have to come to a blog meet to get the hugs.

Certainly is winter today white over - ooo I say - right old frost. My poor car just doesn't suit white.

Beezer xx

Morning christoff - do you know I can't listen live anymore as I am on a train between 5 and 6:30 - so cannot get the radio - still good luck to all those who get tickets for the big bash - did I mention thats my birthday????????????

PS - not that i want to sway the panal but I have been blogging since the beginning(under the orginal name of elmlea and elmleaquack until the new rules made me super bagpuss)

Still - may the best bloggers win

I also had to scrape the car this morning - and I couldn't find my gloves - thats a chilly start to the day!

Also - thanks for all the good wishes - still am not breathing right but I'm not letting it get me down - in the words of noddy holder - its christmassssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

baggly le puss

Rips - Genius!
Chris - Is bribery acceptable for the 23rd? :O)

Brrr

Nic

...car in need of a good scrapage off. Or a good scrappage!

Ooooh hurrah!! I do hope I qualify as a Loyal Silly Blogger and didn't hallucinate your invite in Dublin as I attempted to throttle the life outa yous, Christoff, I do apologise. I'll leave the hanger in me coat at the party so I don't give in to the urge to do it again.

Rips my little Laureate that was brill!! Damn right I'll 'ave the rollin' pin. In fact I'll bring the brush-steel instead then we can play the Hold The Brush Steel In Both Hands Then Pass It Over Your Head And Round Your Body Without Lettin' Go game. And me drinkin' straws an' Jelly Babies, an' some newspaper kippers for Flap The Kipper game, howsabout that.

Anyway sunshine, hope you're feeling better. I'd stop in today, my dear. I've just ventured out to the bin and it's colder than a penguin's chuff. Have just welted a polar-bear scavengin' therein with Renee's galvanised bucket an' re-entered the kitchen stratosphere with frostbite an' eyeballs like 2 scoops a raspberry ripple.

Jayzus. Where's me Liberty Bodice.

Clodagh.xx

...and the same to you, Baggy. Mind the aul chestals there, sweetheart, if Renee finds out she'll be there in a flash wit the hot Olbas Oil, a flannel an' a tablespoon.

Clodagh.xx

Hi Chris,

Yes, it's rather chilly in Glasgow too! Would love to be at the Drivetime bash, but just impossible to even think about coming to London on the 23rd. All the best to everyone who gets a ticket - I am very envious! Chris, I agree with Beez: please come along to one of the blog meets and get lots of cuddles!

Rips: what a fantastic start to my day - that was terrific!

Baggy: I was talking to my sister last night and she told me that her doctor has now prescribed a different inhaler for the winter months - she must use it before she goes out, even if it's just to put something in the bin! She says it has transformed her life - might be worth looking into?

Happy Tuesday everyone!

C xx

Chrissie -thanks for the info - I was thinking about treatine myself to a new inhaler anyway as you can never have too many spares - and I think as I only use mine this time of year some might be out of date by now?

I'm here, I'm here, loyal as you like.

Great poem Rips, hope you are feeling better.

We had a very heavy frost here on the West Somerset coast. it has now disappeared and is very calm for a change.

Jst off out to top the bird feeders, got to look after our little feathered friends now.

Bad news of the day.....

Finished the book last night :(


Good news of the day....


Going to start reading it all over again :)

Do we have any idea when the next one will be finished ??

MTF.xxx

Morning all

You're right, it's damn nippy out there! -3 according to my car at one point!

I couldn't scrape mine - the ice was too thick, I used lukewarm water, with engine running and wipers going to stop it freezing over again...worked a treat!

Baggy, you take care now, don't want you poorly for your birthday and Christmas!

Rips, that is brilliant!! Well done you!!

I'm not feeling shivery today, I think it was just that our office never has any heating on on a Monday, so spent all day shivering and never truly got warm at all - it's better today - and by Friday it'll be like an oven....

Anyway, best get on with some work!

JG x

Just read back over this mornings posts, snap Bids!!

MTF.xx

Morning Chris and Bloggers,

Yes, it is mighty cold today - the 1st December and the first frost. I lay in bed hearing my neighbours scrapping the ice and thought I best get up a bit earlier so I can do the same. This is the first car I've had that gives the temperature, so I might bore you with that fact every morning!! This morning it was 1.5!

Rips, Great poem and I hope you are starting to feel better xxx

Andy, Sorry about the fire and theft, but congrats on the impending arrival of the little one xxx Let's hope things start to turn around for you all now xx

Deev, My guess for the advent calendar is a Christmas tree xx

Good morning Bloggers!

It's has been FREEZING here in Edinburgh the last few days! Am very glad I've got my funky pink woolly hat to keep my ears warm. Not been outside just yet but I bet there's alayer of ice on the windscreen, although I have had to get the de-icer out already this winter.

Would love to come to the Bye Bye drivetime bash but there's no way I'd get down and back from up here that close to Christmas. I bet everyone that is lucky enough to get tickets has an absoultely awesome time.

Hope everyone who's been poorly is feeling better today.

Right I better get a move on, am going to brave the Glasgow shops today and get some C**s shopping done! (So when are we allowed to use the C word? It is December now after all!?!)

Hope everyone has a good day.

Rx

Morning all

Ever since our incidents, I have been overwhelmed by the kind thoughts and offers of help from those that know me, even if only through the blog or FB.

Fell a bit better this morning as the cleaning people are coming in to start on the house and it will start to look more normal once that's done.

Thank you to all.

A

Word Up!

Lovely drive to work this morning, brilliant sunshine, frosty covered fields and some diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirty rock music courtesy of The White Stripes in the car.

Now listening to last year's Bloggers CD to give me some inspiration as my thoughts turn to Divalicious 2 - 2009.

Feeling fun and lively today (you have been warned!), and await further instruction from Big Chief Lambie Pie as to the Drivetime bishbash.

Do I need to choose a party frock? A gal needs to know ;-)

Love, love and more love

Deevs of da Blog
x x x x

I could have fell a bit this morning as it was icy. but I mean feel a bit better! ;)

Brrrrrrr!

Did I say it had melted, just plunged my hand through the ice on the bird bath and think I now have frostbite!

Feeling a mince pie day coming on.

Brandy or cointreau, too big a decision, so both! Why not?

MTF.xx

Morning All
Hope everyone is good what a brisk but beau morning... thoughts turning to the "C" word are they ;)
Mmmmm hope you all get the dream ticket ;)
D x x

OK, so Advent guesses thus far:-

JG - holly leaves and berries
Seza - Penguin skating
Beez - Snowman
Bids - Prezzies
AliB - Christmas tree

Have I missed anyone?

Baby, it's cold outside x

Morning all,

Deevs, you'll be glad to know first date went v well the other week, second date happening tomorrow night, this one is quite promising ;-)

Exams last week went ok, time to forget about the books until next year that is...boo!

Christoff, the book was a godsend the other day when I was stranded in the car after an engine catastrophe awaiting rescue....4 bloomin hours!

Byee
Jx

Ooooh Rusty, I'll start saving for me titfa now then shall I ?!?!

;-)

Deevs, as i have one sitting on my window ledge at the moment..

Mr Robin redbreast.x

MTF.xx

Morning each and every,

Advent calendar, an elephant carrying presents is my guess as you have probably bought another weird and wonderful one like last year Deev.

Rips, truly madly deeply insane pome, and I liked it. I reckon you're in!

Now, how can I persuade the lovely, magnificent, wonderful Chris that I should be awarded the honour of being a guest? Been here since about day 11 although with work committments and other rot not able to post as regular as I would like, Chris actually gave me my name on his saturday show - all those years ago!, my engagement was announced on the blog before it even happened, I have opened my heart during one of the worst times of my life and took advice from all that offered it, includng the great man hisself and came out the other side a better, happier version of me. Tell you what, I don't expect, nor need a special guest ticket as I've been a special guest all along and thank you all for each moment of it.

Aww, jees (Other cleaning fluids are available), I've come over all soppy now. snap out of it girl!

laters,

MW, a!

Oooh...a very nice company has sent me a chocolate advent calendar!!

JG x

MTF - good point well made - I can start eating the mince pies/ stolen/ rum balls that I have been buying and putting away - I love Christmas

And as mt bp says - all that good food loves me too - so regualar trips to the gym will also be happening - he even questioned why i didnt go yesterday with a bad cheast - apprently thats no excuse :-(

Baggy: yes, I do believe the inhalers "go off". You'll probably be amazed at how well a new one will work - go for it!

Andy: glad to hear you are feeling better today. It is wonderful to get support from people, isn't it - even just "virtual" friends. Once the house gets cleaned and re-painted, it will feel like home again.

Re: the C word - I started shopping yesterday, well, I bought ONE thing! Just can't get my head round it all yet!

C xx

MW,a, that bought a lump to my throat honey, and I'm not talking toast here!

All I want for christmas is yoooooooooooooooooooo

Deevs
x x x

Rusty, snap!

Blooming cars, my wait was antagonized even more by the fact that two rescues vehicles from the "opposition" were parked up alongside me sharing a flask of something hot!!

It gets blooming cold sitting there waiting doesn't it?

Still, it was nice to see a familiar face when he eventually turned up, LOL!

MTF.xx

U know I hope these tickets arent going to be the undoing of the blog... although being a newb am staying well out of it and you are all putting up very good cases too :)
Christmas songs mmmmmm
D x x

I'm not going to put up a case for The Deev. If I get in, I get in and will be a very happy bunny indeedy. If I don't, well, yeh, I'll be gutted but having met CLP at CiN, the world ain't such a bad place.

x

Just spent 20 mins booking tickets grrrr modern live technology all done now though... is it coffee time yet or something little more cheeky ;)
D x x

Morning all

Pinch punch everyone!

Brrrrr! Bit chilly round the old turntables.

Off to Panto on the 23rd - oh yes I am. Would love to have been at the bye bye drivetime shindig, Bums as Annie would say. Hope all loyal bloggers get their deserved tickets.

Rips, loved the poem, brilliant.

Deevs, advent calandar - mistletoe!

Right, off to the shops to do some Crimbo shopping.

Pen xx

calander. calender, calendar! Never could spell it. Nothing looks right!

xx

Ahh, a chance to pass on some wisdom. The spelling of calendar, and an easy way to remember it.

Folks gets confused.com with the a's and e's. So, just remember

Any Events Appening?

There you go!

MW, a!

Ah, now there's a thing .....

Calendar man on last night's show. Informative and a good interview but over-use of the word "obviously", I feel.

When he said "obviously the biggest selling calendar ever was Kylie's 2003 lingerie calendar" to me, that wasn't obvious. In my world, the obvious choice for biggest selling calendar EVER would have to be the 1983 Duran Duran Official Calendar, especially June and John Taylor looked mighty fine, if I recall .....

I used to work with a girl and she over-used "obviously" to excess. Lost count of the number of times we all had to point out that it wasn't "obvious" to the caller she was answering that the boss was out, or that so-and-so was at lunch.

Think I'll start a campaign to remove the word "obviously" from the English language altogether.

It's bound to be a success. Obviously.

Deevs
x x x

Cheryl,

My guess: A Santa stocking hanging on the fireplace.What's the prize for winning?

Nic

Deev - can I add the word literaly to that? especially when misused!

My guess is a sprig of holly and berries

- anyone remember last years with all the mices?

Nic, the prize is the right to gloat for the next 24 hours until the next window is opened! Or maybe being attacked by a mad woman wielding misteltoe.

Who knows?!?

Baggy - last year's calendar was a hoot, weren't it! Some of the guesses by the end of the 3rd week were sublime and obviously quite literally ridiculous! Blimmin' good fun tho.

Ha! See what I did there .....

Deevs
x x x

Hello Hello Hello

Border Guards looking t'other way so I've sneaked in! haha

Now I've got to try and remember all the thoughts I've had reading your posts this morning - hmmm

Baggy, yes with the meds going out of date. Best get them checked. Are you able to have bowl of water on radiator or even just on your desk at work? Might help combat the dryness. Hope you feeling better soon. (((xxx)))

Rips, Loving your work. That was a fab song & I hope Beez appreciates the dedication!!

Clodagh, Poor Polar Bear!!

JG Glad the shivers stopped

MTF Definately both!!

MWa. That was lovely.xx

I know I'm not an original Blogger (very un-original at times!) But I am very loyal!!

As Deevs said though, we did get our CIN outing so, whilst I would so love to come on the 23rd and would be sad not to go, I'll grin, bear it and come back listening in January!! (But still have baby sitter on stand by just in case!)

Now that might be it from me for today as border guards bit hot while I'm at work and boy2 has friend round after school so my chances of getting near the lap top are about zilch. this evening I'm going out for a Christmas Dinner!! Yes it is way to early but this meeting is always the 1st tuesday in the month, December meeting is Christmas dinner so..........Crakers it is!!

Have a fab day, Loving ALL your work

Seza XxXxXxXxXxX

Now then, I am not a hoarder, but I do find it hard to throw "nice" things out.

I have a calendar in my kitchen which is 2003, a lovely National Trust one of gardens, most of which I have visited over the years.

It is actually recycling in the finest form, as last year (or was it the year before,yikes) the days of the months were the same as they were in 2003, Bingo!

MTF.xx

Deevs - A Snowman.

Hi everyone, Hope you all have a good day and good luck with the invites!

X Gail.

Cheryl - I like a good gloat (which reminds me it's quiz night again tonight - huzzah)...option 2 would do too, depending on how mad she actually was - obviously - and literally...

Nic

Fanks for your kind words.

Can I just say that I have never assumed that I would be going, and still don't!
And would add that if MW,a! ain't chosed and I is - I shall certainly stand aside.

Whilst very loyal over the last 20 years (must be about that) I haven't been here from the start.

What it really needs is someone to mention it on Twitter 10 times a day - you know, beat him into submission......Now who could do that???!!!
Only joking - you know I love ya!! ;^p

Rips

x

Ah Deev. Obviously yous'll get in. Absolutely. It's obvious to me at the end of the day, yous'll be guest of honour on the Blog table, absolutely. At the end of the day, in fairness, it's us part-timers wit nowt to offer but a bit a spasmodic sh**e an' rabid opinions now an' again that'll 'ave to arm-wrestle to the death for the aul Access All Areas. So wish me luck, am limberin' up as we speak.

Obviously.

Hurrah. In fairness, I've started pickin' up In Fairness from over the jacuzzi that is the Irish Sea. And Fair Play and Howya and Howsitgoin' and in particular, Absolutely, the D4 buzz-word. Grrr it's like, seeeew irritating. Absolutely.

Ok off to negotiate the dreaded M6 South. In the vest, obviously.

Clodagh.xx

"I'm dreaming of .............."
Keeping up the theme ;)
D x x

Me?

Nah, that'd be a nightmare!

x

Yous too, Rips. Yous'll be on the Guest List no probs I'd 'ave thought.

Ere. If so, can I be your Archie Andrews?

I'm only little an' 'ave got the face for it. And. What a showstopper; I'll sing the full chorus a Blaze Away while you drink a large Harvey Wallbanger. Don't give it to me, mind, I may well turn a bit truculent an' never stay put on your arm.

What 'yous reckon.

Clodagh.xx

Clodagh....M6 South,

I shall brush both of my hairs, straighten me tie and have a Lynx shower in anticipation of your visit.

Rips

x

rips - you do yourself a miservice - you have more then two hairs - I know - I counted at least 10 x

Clodagh - slap my thighs and call me 'Brough'!

Now....where'd I put that tie?

Rips

x

Bless yous Rips. Ah yous remind me of the DDF Eric, who had but one hair on his chest. Cultivated it carefully an' called it Tony. Because it was Tony one 'e 'ad.

I wouldn't wear the Lynx, mind. Last time I got a whiff a that it made me eyes water an' put the poor chap in A&E with whiplash an' carpet-burns.

Clodagh.xx

I am very easily pleased but I just used the € sign in an email! Now before I knew where it was on the keyboard and how to access it I would have just written EUROS - little things please little minds ;)

AliB
xx

Going to have a cuppa and a biccie now to celebrate!

And another minor irritation ....

When someone calls the office to speak to someone who's out, and you ask for their name, company and number in a polite, efficient manner, pen poised, and they go "its ok, she knows who I am"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Deevs
x x x

Hahahahaha Rips.

Have only one thing to say.

Who's Queen?

("Oh, very well, ma'am. There was this huge herd of orange elephants...")

Hurrah.

Clodagh.xx

SuperBeep - In fairness, obviously that was literally a month ago.
The hair seems to be retreating faster than a french soldier at the moment!

Ho hum - at least I've still got my looks.....Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Speaking of Liz - I'm off to Windsor for a site meeting.
I shall give her a wave.

Toodles

I'm here loyal as you like too!!!!!!!

even though i am at work and shouldnt be here!!!!!

Bo Selecta Rips - that's uber-hobnobbing my friend!!

x

Deev how very irritating. Stuffed full a their own impotence. Ha.

Mind you. Just having returned from Norn Ireland, can I offer a saying that greatly cheers me through my day. When you part company with a Norn Irishman/woman, they sing, "Cheerio!"

I love it.

Wouldn't work for me, like; oop 'ere in Wigan they holler, "See yer." Ew. I swear, a good friend once told me my voice sounded like it was comin' at 'em through a cheese-grater.

Huh. Big Soft Southern Jessie.

Clodagh.xx

Bloggers advice time...

Right here's the situation, my garden is full of birds at the moment all looking for a morsel or two.

There is my loyal Blackie, Robin and the hopalong broken winged pigeon.

Along with an array of tits of all shapes and sizes ( stop it right now, s'clean! ) also, woodpeckers,a common thrush, mistle thrush, the scatty pheasant that turfs the compost heap upside down everyday, the list is practically endless.


THEN, there are the ROOKS !!

They will empty a bird feeder in a minute, one of them tips it upside down and the others gather underneath with their beaks open and devour the lot!

I have tried tying the feeeders in many different locations and have had no luck in deterring the blighters !

This also makes me feel guilty, cos they also have to eat, but, what would last the little birdies a week, as I say, has gone in a flash.

I know what Hugh fearnley wotnot would suggest, anyone got his phone number??

MTF, a twitcher but as yet not a tweeter!

Clodagh, you've got a lovely accent and don't let anyone tell yous anything different! Altho the first time we spoke I was expectin' a Marian Keyes like Oirish lilt ....

x

Got it, I needs myself a Worzel Gummidge!

Ha, MTF, going away to think!!

Rips is that the Big Soft Southern Jessie way of sayin' yous are off to Windsor to get new glasses?

Me, I just get mine from the Pound Shop.

V. stylish, actually. Leopard-print ones, neon ones, flowery ones, marvellous. And distract attention from the bruisin' from walkin' into lamp-posts.

Clodagh.xx

Morning each

Twas indeed a tad chilly this a.m... think both Brandy and Cointreau MTF..maybe with a little cream based something thrown in to soften the blow!

AliB..you go with the temp thing gal! Mine was reading -1 this morning and only got up to 0.5 by the time i reached work...only 40 miles but almost 2 hours later...grrrr!

Rips..genius poem..we have some talented poemists on here for sure. hope the tummy better.

Deevs... of course you is on THE list! First name on the list along with MWK i reckon! And if not then you damn well should be!

SbP - def get a new inhaler.. they certainly do go out of date. Am sporting a rather fetching green and white one myself at the moment..none of this common blue for me! Hope you feel better soon hon..

Chrissie..with you on the C present thing..have purchased the grand total of 1 so far...but am on a mission tomorrow to procure the rest.. watch this space!

Right, top of the morning to the rest of ya..hope everyone is wrapped up warm and keeping fit... will hopefully catch you later!

mSc x

PS - Deevs..i did indeed guess the other day (Sat i think) and it involved meece and candy canes and trees as i remember! But wil go with a Chrissy Bell this morning as thats what mine was! x

Have always said Cheerio, wonder where I got that from then??

MTF.xx

......and got Vera Duckworth, hahahahahaha!!!

Ah bless you.

Right. MUST GO. Otherwise will be late back for the State Visit of the GD and that won't do. Haven't seen each other for 4 weeks so we'll be jumpin' into each other's arms an' kissin' an' huggin.

Then within 5 minutes, punchin' each other's lights out.

Happy days.

Clodagh.xx

Cloadagh, havent you got a 99p shop you're way, look after the pennies and all that !

MTF.xx

Gotta giggle.

Anyone here passing my desk or using my phone will wonder what on earth I'm up to (nothing new there ....)

I've got a page torn from a short-hand notebook with bloggers names and things like holly, bell, snowman written next to each name.

Lovin' the Christmas vibe gang!

Deevs, Secretary To The Mighty Rips

Don forget my Robin Deevs.ta.

Scoobs, that'll be clarted cream then eh, just pulling them out of the oven now, am saving any black ones as rook ammo!

Any one fancy a tuesday mince?

MTF.xx

Robin. Check.

Always up for a mince MTF!

x

MTF,

In my capacity as resident aminally person of the blog I have a suggestion for you, but you probably already do it.

Give the rooks a table or ground feeder. They will enjoy scraps such as bread, meat - particularly bacon bits, veg and virtually any other stuff (including mince pies) considered too big for the little burdies. They will access it more easily, therefore making the energy expended versus energy consumed ratio much more in their favour. Also, look at feeding niger seed as this is too small for the bigger boys and gold finches love it.

You can use baffles too, helps prevent skwirrels and big beggar birds from getting the grub.

hope this helps, if not I have a crossbow.

And Rips, aww bless you. That is indeed a very kind thought, and I've not got you anything


yet!

MW, a!

I'd love to mince with you MTF. If there's clotted cream involved, I'll mince with any one! At least they must sell in in sensible sized pots in your local shops. Up here Darn Essex, can only get it in titchy tiny pots just big enough for one scone or mince pie or........

Have just turned over my little desk calendar (thanks MWa)and thought I would share this little thought with you all, possible it will be very useful during the festive season.

Alcohol doesn't cause hangovers. Waking up does!!

Obviously!!

Cheerio

morning all
sorry I'm late on parade, been catching up with some much needed sleep!
My guess today is a sprig of mistletoe

AARGH loyal listener here

not always able to blog but also loyal lurker !!

i forgot advent calendar this morning but i have remembered to buy them this year usually i forget.

And it is swimming tonight for number 3, so will not be near a radio for the first 45 mins will have to find portable in ear radio.

Hi Seza,

Seeing that blog from you made me quite glad we didn't have our mini blog meet yesterday. The traffic around the Dartford Crossing was a nightmare (according to Sally Traffic) and that's the way I would have come - so the postponing was meant to be! Looking forward to meeting up next year though.

If we are literally going to banish Obviously from the English Language, can I propose a replacement. Fab word. Best word I've heard for ages (other than fleckles).


Densinisity

Derrived from Denseness.

Fab eh!?!?

Anyone for Twister?

Deevs
x x x

is it wrong that i want to stick my smallest boy to the wall with duck tape..
he keeps pushing the big blue button on my computer and turning it all off. takes ages to re start and log on again.

Well the blog is ripping along at a fair old pace today isn't it. Is it because it's icy and people are thinking about that thing in a few weeks time or is it to do with the 23rd...
Well I am not an original or particularly loyal and have only been writing my brand of drivel for a few short months, so if selected, Chris, I shall run down the high street of Cannock in my cowboy boots with nothing but 2 sprigs of holly in my hair for decoration shouting yeehah.

Nic

I like the word 'skidoo'

But think it already exists.

MW, a!

obviously i will not be sticking him to the wall with duck tape ..

just wanted to make it clear to people who monitor these things !!

Hi Ali

It sounded awful didn't it. Wasn't it something to do with another tunnel being closed? We'll meet up in New year no worries

Oh, & can I claim a special mummy bonus point for not only remembering to get the advent calendars from the loft, not only remembering to buy choc to go in them but also remembering where I put all the above & filling and hanging them last night!

Redd - oook

Seza xxx

Border guards are slack today!

*77 why are we banishing Obviously??

Redd. Now you be careful. Captain Carrot would frown on such an action!

xx

Hi there - I'm BACK!!!

Chris, what a lovely gesture to reward the loyal, original and regular contributors........ good luck guys - hope your names all come up!

Deevs - my guess is a pink Angel...... hope no-one else has that...

Right, apologies for absynth (sp?) - been a poorly Daisy, but back on fighting form now. Just so crazy busy at this work malarky, have lurked a little and got the gist of what is going on but won't comment separately on everything.

Those of you going through a rough patch - today is the first day of Advent where Hope springs eternal - hope things'll get better soon.

To all you other mad beings - It's only 24 days 'til Christmas - yayhay!

Some thought provoking stuff for you to look at:

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

Love 'n' stuff to you all,

Thanks MW, as one of them has now flown off with a dinnerplate sized solid feed ring, thats a yes to the crossbow!

Spose we are lucky not have squirrels very often, but if I put anything on the ground, we get the thin tailed version, namely Roland!

The goldfinches love the niger and the black sunflower seeds too, and was lucky to get Bill Oddies version at the 99p shop, another bargain.

So, now all my little birdies are sitting staring a tme to go and refill their feeders,something I only did an hour or so ago.

This'll never get the hoovering done, oh well !
