Er..still no news....and er now going out for drinks with Ally and Karon on Friday, so..er, next week?

How many weeks has it been now?

Lost count!

Forgot to say to you, did you know John e-mails Tony and not me!?! Anyway, got an e-mail from him today, ok so it was a forward but it had a wee note on it also so I replied. Maybe I'll get e-mails from him now too!

Yep, John and Tony get on quite well by all accounts. Just one more reason we should go to the pub more often! Mind you that probably involves drinking in Glasgow- something I try to avoid, but we should really get something semi-regular set up, especially since you, John and Martin (for now anyway) all live within a mile or two of each other.

I might not always join you, but you five, at least should start to meet up.

Just spent an insanly sad amount of time on my day off, doing housework-but not any old houswork. No, I have just spent well over an hour taking my Dyson apart and cleaning all the bits and filters etc

I even went onto ask Jeeves to find out if I should wash the HEPA filter, cause it looked grubby. The answer, in case you ever lie awake at nights worrying about such things is, No. It apparentaly never needs cleaned. But you do clean the spongy filter every 6 months- wash it in soapy water. I think it's at least a year since i cleaned it last

Anyway- i'm now making matters worse, by spending time writing about cleaning my Dyson

I'm off to Tesco's

Oh I'll have to remember that about the Dyson, I've had it a year now and not cleaned any of it! I love my Dyson as you know so will have to look after it better. Not long back from Braehead, spent a fortune which you probably did too in Tesco!

Oh, you naughty, naughty Dyson abuser

Read your instructions and do the right thing, or yer hoover will be confiscated and given to a more caring home

Yes I did spend a fortune, but all on good stuff to keep me functioning for the next couple of months. It is amazing how the cost of shopping gradually creeps up over the years though, isn't it? I still buy roughly the same stuff I did when I first got the house, but now I spend at least £20 more than I used to for the same period

May have to return to ASDA's on occasion it seems. Tesco's, unfortunately don't stock some things I like. Oh well

Slap on the wrists for me

I go to Morrisons mainly as it's just up the road, sometimes Somerfield, I find these places cheaper than Tesco. I like Asda but it's always really really busy with mainly scum!

Oh dear.. somebody's been having a go at Westlife on the 'Petty Hates' thread.. You may want to add a reply !

Taps that are left running for no apparant reason whatsoever. It makes me wanna rip someones head off.

Also as there seems to be a musical theme going at the moment. Westlife. Why?? They are awful, almost every single song they destroy is a cover version. If they had talent or an original thought, their heads would explode..... Here's hoping!! If I have to hear one more stuide swwony girl going on about how fabulous the Westlife song, 'Mandy'is, I will not be held responsible for my actions.
Let me make this quite clear to every swoony teen out there: MANDY IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT A WESTLIFE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is a cover version of a Barry Manilow track. Now usually Im not high on the list of Barry Manilow fans, but that song had a special meaning, now due to its destruction by some braindead boyband, it has ruined my enjoyment!

Westlife, low life, go and get your own life!!! And your own songs!!! GRRRRR

And inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale!!

Willow

Anyone would think she didn't like Westlife! I could go onto that thread and tell her that actually out of all the songs they have relased not that many of them are cover versions and in actual fact there are loads of songs on all their albums that they have actually written themselves but I'm not going to bother cos she'll just have something else to say about them and I hate people slagging of Westlife cos I lurvve them! Actually, I could go on and say one of my pet hates is people who slag off Westlife! Everyone has their different tastes when it comes to music, world would be a boring place if everyone was the same blah blah blah.....

Nuff said really!

Read your post on the the petty hates thread, thanks for challenging them!

Och, nae worries! Now that's the sign of true friendship- defending a form of music that would kill me slowley from the inside out if i was forced to listen to it for a whole hour, just because my best buddy likes it!

Aaaah, bless

Hello! Thought I'd post on this thread as it's been a while and it must be missing us! How's things?

I can't *believe* it's almost a year since we used this thread Truly shocking. Time really does speed up as you get older I've been in Belfast 7 months now I tell you, when i eventually get to live within my own 4 walls again one day, i'm gonna have such a party (either here or in Scotland) Bye the way you might enjoy reading http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F19585?thread=3066846&skip=0&show=20 'Edward the Bonobo' has a similar view to me. But ifind the subject interesting as well

That was an interesting post. I'm not supporting England, why should I, I'm Scottish! I'll be supporting Sweden, Japan and Poland plus anyone that plays against England!

I read this thread yesterday and thought it was quite funny so thought I'd start it up again. We used to have a right laugh together didn't we? When did we get so serious? Is it cos we're getting old?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F19585?thread=3109209 A wee bit about your skin problem

Thanks for that My skin has gone green again

Serious?Me? I'm not serious Or is it that people don't take me seriously- is that the same thing

And yes. it's because we're getting old, absolutly Now, i'm trying to find my walking stick, so i can poke the fire- shouldn't you be finishing knitting that jumper or something?

Dunno really. I think all friendships drift in and out of phases. Maybe we're not currently as close as we used to be. Maybe we'll be much closer again in the future Who knows.. "the future's not ours to see, what ever will be will be, que serra, serra"

Aye, you're possibly right. It's 11.15pm on a Friday night and I'm away to bed as shattered after work, dentist, shopping, cleaning and ironing! A womans work is never done

Bye for now
