Good evening everybody, am sorry I havnt been on today, but had to take my van for MOT today, soooo had to get it ready etc 
SHE flippin passed 
wayyyyy flippin hayyyyyyy
Which reminds me, I too have my MOT tomorrow morning at 8.50 am just flippin hope I pass my MOT eh although saying that, I dont feel as confident about myself than I did with my van !!
Buttons, come on out gal, come have a chat with us
Pete
Blimey that was good I didn't think it was gonna pass 
Im sure you will do just as well mister monky..... you doing your cholesterol tomorrow? Would be interested in how you have got on
Im sitting here watching the footie but I really really need to go and paint my kitchen.... I have all my family coming over on Saturday for a late lunch 
I have no enthusiasm at all.... HELP..................
Hi Juliedroopy hmmmm, pretty close eh
Yes I will keep you informed on my cholesterol reading what ever it is eh
OY, I thought you had painted your flippin kitchen 
Got results of my cholesterol today on the non fasting test I had done after 2 months packed in and it's come down from 6.2 to 5.9, I know that's not great but I'm well chuffed as it's a start
No that's really good.... it's come down, A MASSIVE WHOOHOO to you, am really chuffed for you fresher
I think that's great. I hadn't realised smoking affects cholesterol, and Dr muttered about statins last time, but I don't want them if it can be helped. So one more reason yo stay quit. Every bit of motivation helps.
Thanks Fresher
They had been mentioned to me before and really didn't want to go on them
Hiya Betts, yep it can make a massive difference.... this is why I stopped as I don't want to be on Statins forever... good luck with yours
Way to go then
And you know I am singing along to CDs in the car much better, so definitely improves the throat/voice (passengers may tend to differ mind )
Ooh Betts I've noticed that to, I can hold a note so much better now, kids in the car aren't overly impressed though
Takes a seasoned ear to appreciate the seasoned voice.
Oh, and did I mention I'm going a bit deaf?
Wonder if that'll be helped to
Tooooo flippin right
Cat wait for my hols....

Where you off to at the weekend???? gonna be nice weather over here ..
That'll be brilliant!
I'll never gorgetvthe games in Manchester. Everything and one buzzing
Cannot wait... be like the Olympics all over again... and THAT was awesome
umm what does all that mean? Has your ipad been drinking? Are you talking about the games in Manchester? I remember sitting in the car all night when it finished waiting for the fireworks and listening to that M People woman singing. Absolutely slung it down all night.
Ah but during the week it was sunny, the Piccadilly surprise fountains brilliant - and yes, rain at the end - but hey, it was Manchester? And little daughter in opening ceremony
Aw
Rose tinted specs
I can't remember tbh. Oh I remember my hubby who was a compressor engineer went to fix the mobile squash court. It worked a bit like a hover craft and to move it around it was raised on a cushion of air (cos it was all made out of glass so was heavy), can't remember what was wrong with it but I remember him going fixing it.
Clever stuff! The mind boggles!
yeah, it was made out of glass so spectators could watch the game from all sides of the court. Aww bet you were proud of your daughter.
Sure was
Brilliant design for those courts!
Will be dreaming of floating glass squash courts and Yorkshire puds tonight
OMG it was 2002. twelve years, no wonder I don't really remember much about it.
Goes tooootoooo quick, doesn't it?
I know. My daughter would have been 16 then. Just been babysitting tonight while she went to the school my grandson will be starting in September. Ooooh time goes far too quickly. Last time the world cup was on he was a little baby.
So lucky to have a grandchild. Maybe one day ......
Haha just replied to Betts same thing, Knaresborough in Yorkshire for a kid free weekend
Hey ermmm, Droppy, I will carry your bags for nothing if you like gal
No I've only done the glossing...... really need to get the walls done now but no doubt I 'll end up doing it Friday night and Saturday morning in between cooking....
Droopy, your supposed to paint the emulsion on the walls and ceiling before you paint the gloss
Thats why I thought you had finished it !!
WHAT WHAT WHAT are you two talking about..... I always gloss first then do the walls as you can wipe off emulsion from gloss but you need to use white spirit to remove gloss and it leaves a stain on the paint .....?????
It's a good point well said! I do agree with you droppy - I was only repeating what I'd been told before - apparently the gloss is like the finishing touch!
I think Spain seem to be losing the plot! To think they won this the last time! XX
Monky, you are on your jollies this week - go and do droppy's painting for her there's a good lad xx
OK, if I must hmmmm, by the time I get down there to her, she will have done it xx
No really Monky I wont have finished.... it wont take you long to get here in your MOT passed van ......
Also, I always supply bacon sarnies and tea/coffee for all my tradesmen ....
google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=...
Although you could end up with a wall like this! xx
Yeahhhh, but am an old boy, not a tradesman seeeeeee
So no to my bacon buttie and tea then.... blimey Im gonna have to do it myself then
I would loooooove one of your bacon butties and tea gal, I really really would, ermmmm, do you do brown sauce with it ??
Hey I hope it all goes well for you with your MOT tomorrow babe - and hey, at least the van passed xx
Droopy, Droopy, Droopy
You slap the emulsion on the walls and ceiling first, quick and no messing ok Then you cut the gloss paint in to make a nice and neat Finnish nooooo need to flippin wipe anything
naaaaaaa I hate cutting in and I hate glossing as I get it everywhere...... I even got some on the soles of my feet the other day?? How I do it I have no idea... have even got it on my butt before now and it wasn't as though I was painting in the nudd..!
Aaahhhh Monky don't be tight,,,, get up their on ya bike and get it done
Yeh Monky.... although please don't come by your rowing machine otherwise you wont get here...
Hmmmmm, have I told you that you are a nit
As if I would come down to you on my rowing machine when there's no flippin water about tut tut 
I'm sorry everybody, got to get some zzzzzzzzzz now, cos got to do my pre mot early in the morning see
Nite nite you lovely people and God bless you all Sweet dreaming huggs heading your ways if you want them and see's ya all tomorrow hopefully ehhh xxxxx
