You can always talk to me.
(((Ima))) Next time I'll grab you and talk/type your ear off ![]() Quote:
hello I am on leave for the next two weeks...have done some washing and some shopping and need to do some hoovering.
I know how to have a good time ![]() Today I will mostly be dashing around like a headless chicken, hopefully not laying any eggs though but headless chickens probably can't focus on laying eggs, so I shouldn't worry too much about that! YoungPlum's birthday tomorrow and whilst she's getting money at her request for a spending spree at the weekend, I still need to get her something to unwrap on the morning and a card and whatnot, and the only time I've got is between dropping her at school and going to a pointless meeting at a job-service provider all before I start work at 10! I'll need a little snoozette by the time I get to work at this rate! Hope everyone had a good day and that life in GOW-land is being kind to all of you; |

Damn I was too late for yesterday! I think by the time you replied I'd already wandered off feeling sorry for myself
Next time I'll grab you and talk/type your ear off ![]() And yes I like a good chat. You should see my phone calls/month, roughly about 150 personal calls. |

I hope I can cheer you up.
And yes I like a good chat. You should see my phone calls/month, roughly about 150 personal calls. Probably I only have about half a dozen personal calls on a busy month! That's why I know I can get away with not having credit some weeks Hmmmm I feel like a right billy-no-mates now! Considering what a chatterbox I am, I do most of my "chatting" in emails these days and some face to face but not a lot of time spent on the phone. It's something of an occasion in our house when my phone rings, what does that noise mean?! Work was fair to middling horrible today. The store is being upgraded/revamped so there is "organised" chaos .... it isn't actually at all organised but we like to kid ourselves! Hoping the worst will be over in the next 10 days or so but I'm not counting on it. The wicked witch was at her worst today but fortunately for me her ire was directed elsewhere - felt sorry for the poor lady that came under fire as she really had done nothing to warrant the torrent of abuse she got. Welcome to my world, I thought! In other news, I'm all sorted for YoungPlum's birthday tomorrow and should get the GoodMum Award for making her bacon sarnies for breakfast tomorrow as a birthday treat! |

I love bacon sarnies. Yum.
So do I but as I'm saying NO to LARD, I think a bowl of cereal will have to suffice for me *sighs in a saintly and slightly pained manner* Time will tell if I'm able to withstand temptation It might be one of those Borg moments - resistance is futile.

Yuck @ bacon sardines.
![]() Toast for me this morning, before I split myself in two. Half of me will be up a ladder singing along with the builders, and half of me will be at home working. If I manage a further division some housework might get done too. And I've that horrible feeling that I'm forgetting something important. Eeek. |

I've been busy in the last hour - I've done washing and homework and I've even created a new alter ego Japanese style superhero Basket Warrior - actually I am the blue Basket Warrior and my friend/landlady has been cast in the role of my nemesis red Basket Warrior! You never quite grow out of playing with washing baskets do you ..... do you?

Bacon sardines sounds like a combo that only DestructoPup could enjoy! Good luck with your division - I've been doing some of that with YoungPlum but it didn't involve slicing up people. Maybe that's next week

Something like that anyway. Or is it 5 hours. ![]() Brain fart over. She is currently 5 hours behind. |

Have you got an Australian accent now and when you talk does it take time for you to start up. See the end of the clip above.
.... and no, I don't have an Australian accent as such although I do notice (much to my horror) that I do have that rather annoying habit of going up at the end of my sentences now, making everything sound vaguely like a question. I try to keep it under control but sadly it does happen YoungPlum is gradually going over to the darkside and has an accent now.

Check out some of the other clips on YT. Nosey mode today. How often do you make it back to the UK, assuming that you need or want to. |
