Have borrowed internet for a quick visit! Told you I missed you grumpy peeps!

So sorry to read your news, Sad .... even if he was "difficult" he was still your dad so it inevitably hurts, but as someone said, better not to linger when an end is inevitable. Keeping you in my thoughts and whatnot xx

Young Destructo has got through her 2nd surgery on Thursday and has a mahoosive scar but with beautifully neat stitches this time, the last lot were obviously done by someone that failed embroidery at school - this lot are a joy to look at .... well, maybe I wouldn't go that far! Now we're just waiting to hear back from the lab to see how the tests go. The running total is $1700 so far - eeeeeep! What price love though... Destructo seems a bit bitter about the op this time as she is alot more violent with her bucket and we are regularly getting knocked about and I'm fairly sure she smirks each time it happens!

On a more cheerful note, I am finally free of my opressor at work, she has moved interstate for 18 months or so - hopefully the new team leader will be somewhat better. He's a young chap, seems generally ok but I don't really think he is up to the job and he is inclined to blame everyone else for his own errors, or so I'm led to believe. However, new start, clean slate and we'll see how he goes!

On the tv watching theme .... I got the first 2 series of Heroes for Christmas and YP and I are loving it - we love Hiro, he cracks us up!

Well I hope everyone has a lovely NY eve celebration however, they do it ... for me, I'm off to bed at 9pm as I'm up at 3.15 am for work - oh the joy of my life!

I'll try and hi-jack the internet again soon-ish, til then au revoir, mes amies

Morning, Plum!

Glad to hear Destructo is doing well. Bit of a shocker about that bill, though!
Hope she keeps up the improvements.

Just popped in to wish you guys all the best for the New Year.
Be good, be safe, be contented.

Love you all loads, even though i occasionally vanish for a while.

Biggest of big hugs, with an extra-huge one for Sad ((((((((((((((((((((((((mmmwah)))))))))))))))))))))))) xxxx

Happy new year and sorry it's late. Thanks for the thoughts and kind words you lovely bunch.

I was going to have a massively bad tempered rant about in laws but have decided they're not worth the time it takes to type a post on this forum these days

Instead -in with anger, out with love - may 2017 be a kinder year to everyone. ((((((((((((((((((((((GOW)))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hello girly grumpy chums! I miss posting here but I just can't be spontaneous any more due to meds and stuff. I'm stlll good at arguing and being helpful though, a mixed blessing. At least those of you who've seen me recently know this sounds worse than the reality.

DS really has the best smilies any time of year
(This is why you should learn your smiley codes kids!)

MrsKJ wants to go on a cruise Amica

BFS is Palace manager, not sure even our away posse can manage pints of red wine

Hull trip had some events ...

Trains
Good to hear from you KJ. You're often in my thoughts and such a miss on DS. I hope you can get yourselves on that cruise. I'm sure you will make a good effort with the red wine. You've taken the lion's share of the smilies and left me with two, you divil!
Best of luck with everything and a Happy New Year to you and yours xx

Happy New Year to everyone on the thread.

Hello Grumpy Peeps!

I just wanted to wish you all belated Season's Greetings and best wishes for the coming year. (that was rather Hallmark card-ish, wasn't it? )

I hope all is well in GOW land. I'm also dropping off massive amounts of strength and healing vibes to the lot of you. xx

All kinds of good vibes gratefully received me@, so I'll take my share and leave the rest for the others.

Not that I'm particularly grumpy this morning, for some strange reason. It's the first day back to reality and my desk has accumulated a decent enough pile of stuff for me to deal with, but I'm up early and keen to get on with it. Maybe I'm coming down with something.

In theory, I get loads done first thing then have a good part of the day to myself later. In practice, I just get more done, but keep the weekends free.

So, good morning again! In a slight deviation to the above routine, I'm planning to hit the shops first thing for some clothes - I'm extremely bored with my wardrobe. Not the best time for it because it'll just be sale leftovers but I'm going to give it a good go.
