Yay Part 4 Pleased to hear Ben is home safely and had a good time

Me too! I assume he got back yesterday sometime

More than my life is worth to divulge the order of exit from the coach ... suffice it to say that a jolly good time was had by all ... and Ben says that Brendan is an absolute star ...

Part 4 already!!

Thought I'd post again what I put in the old thread

Thanks for letting us know UV Glad that Ben is back safe and sound and is on good form. I'm not surprised that he's tired after such early starts every day whilst on CCT.

Happy Birthday to both you and Jazzi I hope you have a lovely day whatever you have planned

Well Colin and Justin apparently got home yesterday evening according to their Twitter so...

Awwwwwwwww thanks UV. Glad he's home safe and he's happy.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow. xxxxxxxxxxx

May not be around much as it is the monster's third birthday party and I have to do my auntie duties.

So early (ish) night called for.

Nite peeps!

xxxxxxx

Good heavens above ... it seems as if the whole world is having a birthday tomorrow ... what a lucky day ...

Birthday Felicitations to the lovely, warm and witty Ultra Violet.

That is so kind of you ...

I have always described Ben to friends as 'warm and witty' ... so to now be tarred ever so slightly with the same brush in the eyes of someone as utterly brilliant as Babycakes has made me a happy woman indeed ... such frabjous joy ...

Wow, I am sure you are the first with your birthday wishes at 1 minute past midnight! *applauds*

And Happy Birthday from me to Ultra Violet and Jazzi - I hope you both have a very happy day and a year filled with much loveliness and joy and good times to follow it .

Ultra Violet Oh I want to see this coach trip thing now now! *giggle* - it's when it's mentioned that it makes me curious. I hope that Ben (and Raef) enjoyed themselves in any case .

I be back from a most lovely wedding anyway. The groom used to be in a band and said band played at the wedding. And, probably partly becuase the groom used to be a member they played loads of great music and they were really really great - the best wedding band I've ever witnessed. We all did dance the whole night . And since my friend was the bride (but I knew her from school and don't see her so often nowadays), I had not known but it came to light that the groom's sister was at school with us and in dance club with me. She told me about how apparently when we did this dance where we were all nuns (I was in 1st year) the dance teacher told everyone they should assume the same posture as me in order to be nun-like. I do not recall this. But is it worrying that this is not the only time in life that I have been likened to a nun? Probably I should worry. But oh well!! Anyway, the wedding - everyone seemed to have areally good time and my friend who got married seemed to have a lovely day and it was all happy and lovely.

Night night all. I may have had a few JD and coke's!! *huuuugs* Never should post when tipsy. I don't feel that tipsy, but I fear from what I am saying that I may well be .

Also, oooh hello part 4!

Calm down Spiral

No ... stay up there Spiral ... we love you ... and you deserve it ... enjoy it ... it doesn't happen every day ...

Is it decadent and foolhardy to eat lovely chewy meringues at 1 o'clock in the morning ?

Absolument pas ... the night is still young ... but just remember to clean your teeth afterwards ... no harm will come of it ... just happiness ... foolhardiness is just an illusion ... and there is no such thing as decadence ...

I timed it

And stay as upbeat as you are spiral - you always make me smile and I love reading your "ramblings". They are wonderful little thumbnail vignettes of real life.

Here's to thumbnail vignettes ... loads of them ... in spades ... we love them ...

That's all right then; as long as I have some sliver of approval for my eating disorder (sugar, chocolate, choux pastry addict).

If anyone had said "STOP! Step away from the meringue" I was going to blame you anyway and say that it was a birthday celebration meringue and I was eating it in your honour

PS: There is one left

Oh, and Happy Birthday to jazzi too (I have a cat called Jazz)

I shall eat the last meringue in tribute to you LOL x

Take no notice of me, you all know I'm very rarely upbeat

You are solid V - we like you just as you are

Thank you kindly BC

Oh, sugar addicts of the world unite ...

When I go to North Africa and the locals see the amount of sugar I am spooning in, they say they think that I am one of them ... (Have you ever had Moroccan mint tea? It is like very sweet warm liquid chewing gum ... )

Happy Birthday Ultra Violet and Jazzi. Great to see Part 4. of The Bennites Brigade and lovely to hear of Ben's return.

Morning Everyone
Happy Birthday Jazzi and UV xxx
