hello Laura

Amica, that's great news

Hello, Laura!
Hope things are looking up for you - see you again soon.

I wish it wasn't so flipping cold and cloudy all the time.

And Sad - stop talking yourself down.
Yes you can and yes you can and it'll be fine. Sheesh!

very dull miserable looking day here....finished early though

Hello grumpsters. I almost bought a massive bed today but had a moment of clarity when I remembered that we already have a massive bed. Phew.

But it was very, very nice, that bed.

I'd like a massive bed, if you want to send one my way

Have had a very unproductive day - am currently trying to make up for it by madly washing, tidying, you know the sort of thing. All I realy want to do is fall into a nice warm bath though so I may be gone for some time............

One furious old grumpy woman here tonight. I discovered about an hour ago that hubby cleared out a drawer in the kitchen and chucked everything out. The everything included photos of my kids when they were younger. Having lost all my photos etc in the fire they were replacements for me from family (originals). He also chucked out my uncles wedding album from the 60's which I had planned to hand over to his family. I could cry. . Sorry just had to rant. Bin lorry came today too.

Why on earth would he do such a thing? Did he not know what they were?

Sorry to hear you lost your lovely photos

What a pain in the bum about the photographs.

Here, I'm due up the ladder again but putting it off. I've got a touch of can'tbebothered-itis.

AAARGH!


Did you get up the ladder yet, batty?

Beautiful day here - wish I wasn't at work!

Don't you two communicate. What he did was out of order. I'd be very pissed off as well.


Climb in Sad carefully, don't fall. I realise you don't mean it literally, but I know someone who died from a brain haemorrhage after falling in(to) the bath. Am I a bundle of joy today.

Crikey, thoughtless or what?

As a bloke, even I know photographs are important! I would therefore ask you lot, you are making backups of your digital photos, aren't you?

I first became aware of the New Guineans' attitude toward risk on a trip into a forest when I proposed pitching our tents under a tall and beautiful tree. To my surprise, my New Guinea friends absolutely refused. They explained that the tree was dead and might fall on us.

Diamond makes the point that, ... , falling is a huge risk, and showering is especially dangerous.

Just want to offload. Girlie problems that I shouldn't be capable of having (hope that's cryptic enough for our honorary GOW) mean I have an 'emergency' appointment with the consultant tomorrow. Peeved doesn't begin to describe it. I would love to think the GP was overreacting but she's not that sort of person. So a quick vibe or six would be lovely around 1-2pm Thursday. I thank ewe.

HG here.

Panic not Sad.

When my retina detached, I saw the GP at 17:00, was in outpatients at 13:00 the next day. It saved my eyesight.

I know this is blokey advice, there's not much apparent emotion in it, but it's 2013, the 21st century, and the NHS is still here for us for things like this. Don't have faith, have trust.

My euphemism of the day is "lady plumbing".

This particular women was at best in her early thirties in terms of age. Interesting link KJ. Thank you.

King ell Sad! I'll be worried until I hear I can stop but KJ's right, you'll be fine, so try not to stress and stick your feet up right now if you haven't already. But text me once you get the all clear. Because you know what I'm like.

handy - yes, I did make it up the ladder and spookily thought of you mid afternoon, when I suddenly and for no apparent reason remembered showing you that same place ages ago. It's looking as rough as it did then, after all kinds of tenants and being empty for ages, but I'm licking it into shape. One of these days you'll have to come and see it all spruced up!

*starts vibes in Sad's direction*

jra - are you a little bit grumpy today?

*sends a dollop of vibe jra's way*

* cough *

Re-establish SMS communication plz. kthxbye.

I was going to text you but I think I've left my mobile in a taxi!

@ self

(((((((((((((((((sad)))))))))))))))))

Taxi company haven't had a phone handed in so I've dug out a previously redundant and quite ancient BlackBerry, and once I've charged it and find out the number I'll let you guys know it.

Big pants.

I was just saying on another thread how I have a talent for losing things!

Sad - Sending on the vibes we got cos they worked for us x

Yes and thank you.

Hope you find your phone.

This is the reason I buy cheapo mobiles, in case I lose them. Although (note to self), I should back up the SIM(s).

Regarding painting ceilings. I've seen a painting device advertised on TV, which eliminates paint drips. Ideal for painting ceilings I would imagine, but I can't vouch for it personally.

If I find a link I'll post it.
