Goss you are early this morning

Have a good one all

PC

I hate those dreams. You never find the path to heaven.

They are great when they are in full swing, and the barmaid is there, all tantalizing, and smiling, and giving you the eye, and then leading to you to her boudoir, just about to reveal the contents of her fruit and veg stall, and then........

......"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaad, she's picking on meeeeeeeeeeee".

I love kids. But I couldn't eat a whole one.

Passion stoppers.

Tobe

CLP - can't believe that you had a weird dream too. I have just put mine on the old blog - you caught me out being so early!
Mine was that I was at Ryan Giggs funeral - weird already - but all the congregation were in fancy dress????

I need a psychologist/psychiatrist (or a flippin good talking to!) Help .... Crumps xx

Chris - I think you have been on the cheese like crumpy!

Do you ever have those dreams that continue - so you're in the middle of one, you wake up, you go back to sleep and you're back in it again? Usually dreams that are boring. Why does it not happen with the gawjus ones that you dont want to end????

morning

CLP - thats a bit steamy for this hour - I wondered where it was going

luckily you dreampt about the misses - I always feel bad if I dream about another man - esp the one where the current Mr bp dies first and I ended up with D 10 inch - that was slightly worrying and I apologised to Mr bp in the morning!

Super bp x

Morning all

CLP - Too much Garlic gives me weird dreams, my sister's the same, all though she get hallucinations too, which frighten the life out of her.

Lovely & sunny here in Manchester this morning:)

What were you lot on last night, have been trying not to laugh too loudly at my desk!

JG x

Deev

I needed petrol this morning too, but like you just hate stopping for it. It's the stopping, not the actually filling up I hate. Anyway, have tried to eek it out so I can stop on the way home....could be dangerous though, as I'm not sure of the accuracy of the gauge in this car yet...oops!

Lazy JG x

Morning

Cheese for me is a sure sign I will dream.

Debs2 - I have also woken in the midst of a dream and then gone straight back to it.

Some are even of those sadly departed, they are as real as the nose on my face!

Sunny South today - hope it stays that way.

Penny x

Chris,

What a great blog - no wonder you are planning a career in writing - you just keep getting better and better!

God bless wee Noah, heavens only knows what might have happened if the dream had continued!

C xx

Mornin all,

I too have those dreams, that you just go right back into, usually scary not nice ones, that you would really rather just left you alone, oh well makes you get up and have an extra early start on the day, so can't be all bad.

You'll have to excuse me, but I posted on yesterdays too late, so I'm gonna do the copy paste thing.

Nicki

Morning Chris and Bloggers,

Half way through the week - hooray. In fact more than half way for me as I have Friday off - an even bigger hooray.

Great dream Chris, as Chrissie said good job Noah needed feeding ;)

I never remember my dreams when I wake up, but I will have a flash back when I'm going through my REMs tonight - which is always a bit weird.

Onward and upward.

Coo, flip, Christophe, there was some woman on the telly t'other day talking about colours (I thought she was fairly rubbish m'self, and she seemed to be more of a failed fortune teller than an analyst, but maybe that was just me) ANYHOO, she spoke about wearing Turquoise and it being the colour which means you're ready to settle down.

So there you go.

sweet dreams are made of this
love
hazel

Yeah, it worked!!

And also Rips, the fact that we will be working 5mins apart - you don't scare me - if you're around nip in, I'll maybe put the kettle on!
Think I'm starting in the Berko branch for a week or so, and then flying solo inTring orifice.

Sorry, following my ramblings from earlier!


Hazel,

Can I join the BTC, I broke one of me big'uns years ago whilst leaping up and down on trampoline, toe got stuck in the webby stuff that you bounce on and the rest of me diddn't - Iwent up, toe staid down and in an odd direction, I think this could be the reason I've never truly mastered high heels. (think Dick Emery, or if you're too young Mrs Overall - that's me)

Your earlier post, my new position is a Funeral Service Arranger, as this is a whole new thing to me, I don't know what the difference is, but I think a Funeral Director is a step up the ladder.

Well, I gone and done it now, signed and posted contract.

Laters
Nicki (NOT Babes)

Morning again all you lovely studs and fillies!

Crumpy - let's hope your "Ryan in a wooden box" dream is a euphemism for the game tonight and that my lads herald triumphant by 9.30 ish this eve!

I have some really odd dreams, and can only hope and pray that I don't talk in my sleep - now that would spell Big Trub at Deev Towers!!

Now ..... iPod Peculiarities, Part VI

My pod has about 1800 tunes upon it. This morning I had my pod on for all of 45 minutes or so, whilst getting gawjussed. During that short soace of time it kicked out 5 (yes count 'em ... .1, 2, 3, 4, 5) tracks by Depeche Mode (total of 2 DM albums on pod). and then (and this is the weird bit) it threw me "Personal Jesus" by Marilyn Manson - a Mode cover version.

Now what's that all about??

Reach Out And Touch Faith!

DreamyDeev
x x x x

...meant to say in public too (coz I already said it quietly)...

a BIG LOVELY WONDERFUL HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JILLY GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nicki, apart from the record shop (about 1,000,000 years ago) it was the best job I ever had. We only had a laptop, with no access to anything, but somehow I managed to cope! The best, baddest, maddest bunch of people work in the funeral business, so I guess you're joining that elite!

Good luck baby!

deev - im sure ipods are slightly physic - i can mentally ask if for a tune adn sometimes it happens - and I ahve 1000 on shuffle!

...so one of my dreams is about to come true...how spooky is that???????

My lovely colleague is about to come back into the ossif having changed into his shorts. He has a mighty fine pair of pins, so I have a delishus day ahead of me I think...heh heh heh...

SBeep, and there is that thing where you've got a choon in your heed and it then plays on the radio...

I gotta go now...places to be, legs to see...bless the gawjus boy!

love your work
love

Could all members (and prospective members) of the BTC please sign in at reception. Thank you.

Ohhhh Hazel you lucky thing. I only have one colleague and if he ever came to work in shorts I might throw up!!!!

AliB

Ooh talking of shorts (and not the alcoholic "shot" kind. Yet!)

Due to a slight change of plannage this Bank Holiday weekend, I am going to have a mamouth trying on of summer clothes for holibobs session, see what needs binning and more importantly, see what I need to buy!!!!

Not long now til I get on that big silver bird and head to Greece. Piggy Flu permitting, natch!

Morning all - sun is shining and I am in one of - Those - moods.
Nice dream Chris - most of mine are censored and I do talk in my sleep !!!! OOOps.

Already chatted up three clients - obtained two mobile numbers and am about to put red shoes on and pay a visit to a purrrrrtickerly nice client - most boxes ticked - tall - rich - sort of single - younger - needs help with form filling ??? We will see - yabadabadoooo. (sometimes rides one of those darned two wheel things - got one or six apparently! Deev - will let you know if I am greeted in leathers !!!!)

Tarara a bit xx

Beez xx

ps Happy Birthday Jillygoat xxx

pps HE requested the red shoes - OH MY!!

Beez xx

Just have to say:

Happy birthday Jillygoat!!! Hope you have a lovely day. I really miss you on the blog - I know that you pop in from time to time - any chance of a "proper" return?!

Hazel: thanks for letting us know. BTW, sorry to hear about your boo-boo: what a nightmare, must hurt like h*ll!!

C xx

Go Beezer!!!

Man, I give up............



Tobe

Tobe:

I know I can sometimes be the master of the sweeping statement, but really, those kids should be removed from that nutter ASAP!

C xx

and of course the courts and social services always steal children from parents who have never done anything wrong!!

sorry, don't get me on that soap box this early in the day!

Morning all, BTW!!

cornishgirlie x

tobe - that makes me sick - someone please help those kids - I have a house and love - they could come to me and Mr bp ????

the first part of that last post was meant to be sarcastic by the way but of course that doesn't come out in something written!! (note to self - read things before you post them!)

Big chief CLP

Go on, admit it . . .

This dusky barmaid was REALLY your wife . . . ???

Come 'on, come clean . . .!!!!!!!

DtM

x

cornish, I got you! I'd like a council house too...and I have no idea how to make smash...and after all the moving malarkey that the Badger and I have had, we'd love somewhere with life tenure and a chance to feel a bit more secure.

I know the DM sells mainly by sensationalism, but that takes the biscuit. Or possibly the nugget. What an awful family. Poor wee'uns.

Now am cross so going for cig.

In the sun, on the balcony, with my shiny new crutch wot I have been lent. I'm nearly as fast as the bloke in the v1sa ad!!!

No wonder I refuse to fly Ryanair unless I am bound and gagged.

Cheap flights? Yeah, until you go to book and add on all the extras on-line.

Stand up comedian? Nope. Just not funny.



Tobe

Tobe

I had that very same conflab with Mr Deev this morn - I booked some Ryanair flights for my boss. By the tie I'd added on the "nice bits" (!!???!!) it wasn't such a cheap flight.

Deev

Crumbs, CLP, you're up and on the go early! Ah, the joys of having a baby around! But, tell me honey, did you get up and make Tash a nice cuppa and toast, or did you do what my hubby does? Zzzzzzzzzz ... then at 8am, 'Oh, was she up through the night?' Wee petal has her sister's cold, so we saw 2, 4, 6am, before up for the day at 8am!

Now, I know it may be a myth, but I like to have some cheese before I go to bed, so I can have some entertainment while I sleep! Unfortunately I can never remember what I dream!!

Don't work too hard on the crosstrainer. Christoff!

Huggles

Susan

and i had forgotten how much i like Tunnel of Love by Dire Straits which Ken has just been playing!! turned up full volume, singing like a loon!!

(completely inconsequential remark, but had to share my moment!!)

xx

arrghh...have just had a bit of a panic!

My exam entry confirmation has just come through for 11 May, and have just realised how close that actually is, and that 1) I've not even opened the study book yet, and 2) I've visitors all this weekend...

panic, panic, panic

JG x

What are you studying JG?

Greetings Ter The CLP aka 'The Whackey DJ!!!!!!!!' And INDEED Ter ALL Blog Personnels.........

CLP - Sounds like you'll be stopping at Anne Summers for a maids outfit then??????@?!

GOURANGA 09!!!!!!!!

Gotta keep blog balance balanced!!!!!!!

39 - The age I fear!!!!!!

Bingo - behave yoursen!!!!!

Bingo: my lovely mum used to tell everyone she was 39 .... until my eldest brother reached that age, and she had to move hers on a bit!

Any age is a great age!

C xx

Tobes - you got a slack morning or something - if so come round here and do some interviews for me!

Deevs - lady boss behaving today? is she allowed rhubarb cake?

JG - breeeeeeath - now, make a plan - allow some time each day and you will see how you can achieve your goal - you have a whole 288 hours to work with!

back later!

Deb - Mr Deev was horrified that I gave his cake away, so nobody is allowed any. Other than him!!

Ha!

Me

Deev - it's a module towards my Chartered Financial Planner status, but it's on a subject I know very little about.

Fortunately it's a small module, with only a 2 hour exam, all multi-guess case study type questions.

Once I've passed this, there's only one to go, but that's a biggie...and for 2010.

JG x

Blimey! Good luck - sounds about as far out of my comfort zone as I would care to wade!

Did briefly flirt with the notion of becoming a Ö÷²¥´óÐã Ec teacher the other day tho!

Deev x x x

Thank you for your very kind and much appreciated birthday wishes!!

My absence is usually because at work there are too many people around me to be able to lurk/post in peace, but the last three weeks have seen me off work with a slipped disc, coupled with sciatica - Cheryl, I can ouch with you on that! Looks like it's going to be another week yet before I can go back to work as I can't actually drive yet, the sciatica is so bad.

So, I've been feeling very sorry for meself and although I've been at home, I couldn't sit at the pooter for the first week or two, and then didn't want to infect the blog with my misery!

BUT - today' my birthday, the sun's shining and you've all been so nice that I've decided to dip into the blog to say hi to everyone. I miss you all, but I promise I do lurk and either laugh/commiserate/agree/rant (*delete as appropriate) with you all.

I've just had a slow shuffle along to the bakery, which is luckily - or unluckily - about eight doors from home, and I've bought meself a wee french fancy cake (oo-er) to celebrate. 'Im indoors is cooking tonight, so am a lucky, albeit creaky, girl !

Love to all and thanks again for the birthday wishes - will hopefully be back later.

jillygoat xx

PS - HL - a shiny new crutch - oh my!

My interview technique includes watching bike racing, surfing strip joints and a pub crawl.

Not sure the candidates could handle that.

I would have to do a S'ralan if they didn't keep up........

........."You're fired".

I'm always slack Debs. Long, loose, and full of juice.

;-)

Tobe

Talking of filling up with petrol. Gonna gloat now. Bloke always washes my car usually every week and fills up the tank. Although I have to say I do buy my own petrol! I might add that that is in return for having me, and that's fair enuffski!!!

Penny x

Tobe,

Is that woman the full ticket..me thinks not, get those kids away from her, it's thier only chance..or, maybe I'm being cruel - instant mash, micro dinner and junk, so that's all you need!!!
My god it truly beggers belief, Still I'm sure she'll get her council house, and be happy once it's all turned to filth!!

I'm cross now - best go, oh yes that's it I was cleaning the bathroom, toodle pip, back later

Nicki

Jillygoat

Acupuncture - it's the only way!

Hope you feel better soon.

I'm off for a cold shower at lunchtime!

;-)

Oh gawd ... now my music thingy has kicked up "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley ..... that never fails to make me wanna ....

Morning you wonderful bloggers and blogettes! How are we all this Happy Hippy Hump Day? I have a 4 year old and a 6 month old coughing and sneezing all over me, and my swine of a hubby in bed sniffling … quarantine measures are being set up as we speak, but the man in the white suit can’t get the laptop of me!

Nick - don’t know what made me cringe more, your toe story or the bit about Funeral Director being promotion! I’d be sticking as Arranger I think! I was once so desperate to leave a job I hated, I applied for a job in a funeral director’s as an assistant, but it was in handling the bodies. Fortunately I got the job in the alcohol rehab and was saved from that!!

CtD - I hate filling up with petrol too, but not quite to the degree I hate ironing. We may be skint, but I insist Highland hubby allows me an ironing lady, or no …..

… ironed shirts, you mucky lot!!!

Tobes - I feel your pain, laddie! Lol

Crumpy - were you in fancy dress too??

Debs2 - I adore those dreams! Like having a quick loo break at the cinema!!

Oooo … controversy so early in the blg at #5!!

Superb - I am crying at #6 - the baby is asleep in my arms and I’m trying not to wake her with my laughter!! Sorry, but any dream where I end up with DT 10 inch would definitely not leave me with any guilty feelings!! Steamy yersel’!!

JG - Your poor sis!! I’m a petrol gauge eeker outer too, and have only been caught out once, in the middle of the city’s busy industrial estate! 2 very nice policemen took pity on me, pushed the car into a carpark, drove me to a petrol station, and drove me back again!! We are blessed with some very lovely policemen in Inverness … just as we are on the blog! ;)

Right, going to put sleeping baby in cot and check on sleeping swine!

Morning all,

Sounds like some dream CLP! When I have dreams with people I know in them, they don't look the same as they are. I know its them but they look completely different - very weird!

Happy Birthday Jillygoat - enjoy your cake and hope you feel better soon.

Tobes - when you think about all the people who can't have kids and the fathers who are stopped from seeing their children, it beggers belief that women like this are allowed to bring up children. What a life they have in front of them.

Darce xx

Tobes #26,

I am with you. That woman needs to be neutered and the kids removed to a safe place!

Happy birthday Jillygoat

Penny - send some sun North - no further North than that!! Cold and dull in the Highlands today!

Chrissie - afternoon honey - did you get the word that there is a bloggers meet in Aviemore on 6th June? Do you have my number?

Ali - ‘scuse my ignorance, as you’ll have said before and I have a sieve memory, but what do you do to go through REMs?

Hazel love - turquoise is my favourite colour! And where do I sign for the BTC? Mine was very boring and done on a lovely antique solid chair round at the manse when we were house sitting the dog and the angels! Makes my eyes water thinking about it!! I missed all the drama - what did you do?! And I misread ‘shiny new crutch’!! That made me start!

Nicki - always love your ‘ramblings’ so no apologies required - they are far more coherent than my blethers!! And OUCH!!! You repeated the toe story and made me cringe again!!! Congrats on signing and posting btw! Which reminds me, I forgot to fill in the occupational health form they gave me when I signed my contract 3 weeks ago! Oopsy!

CtD - wouldn’t it be scary if Crumpy’s dream did turn out to be a euphemism!! Doo-doo-doo-doo! Still haven’t figured out this iPod milarky thingy! Now, if you were closer, I’d be sitting on your doorstep in the hope of receiving your cast-offs!! Where aboots in Greece are you going? I would emigrate to the Greek Isles at the drop of a plate!

Beesmum - having seen the pics of you with Bingo, I’m beginning to think you may be a bit of a Mrs Robertson, though perhaps you are too young!! Lol I passed a particularly gawjus looking laddie the other day, as I was driving into the centre - just had to text my pal behind in her car (we were stationery) as he was jaw dropping stunning! I’d have loved to hear her trying to explain to her 5 year old lad what she was laughing at! Please tell me they have a heel, the red shoes!? I miss my red stilettos!

Tobes - not even going to read that as I will get VERY angry. That’s child abuse in my book, sorry if that offends anyone! Grrrr!

Cornishgirl - I am so with you on that one! We foster cared for a while, but also through my career in alcohol rehab and supported housing I have seen the suffering children go through when SW either moves too soon, or not soon enough.

DtM - how could you doubt him?! What?? You mean you guys dream about lassies who are not your beloved!? Shockeroony!

Oh dear, I can hear cats fighting. I asked the lady downstairs why she hadn’t got her tom cat neutered, disgusted that he is spraying our washing line, the wee lass’s garden, our front door, etc. ‘Can’t afford it!’ was the answer - she’s on DLA, etc. Suggested PDSA, but she said they wouldn’t neuter til he’d had his jabs which she has to pay £49 for. Not only is he a disgusting, mangy, mean cat, he’s probably going to end up with swine flu!!! Grrrr!

Totally agree with that Thunder and all the other suitable "like" comments.

Beez xxx

Oooo - before I throw the bucket of water over mangy grey cat .... HELLO JILLYGOAT! Many happy returns of the day honey - are you having a good one?!

Just to bring the tone back down again - I'm back.
I say Bingo - Tobes!! what are you on? What with Chris and his dream - goodness me!!

Duly gave client a Bingo bear hug - much to his surprise and got what I deserved in return - actually a spin round the block in his growling car - yummy yummy!! (and a big hug back!!)

No leathers til this afternoon apparently Deev - off for a spin if the sun keeps shining. Will send him on to you!!

Butty - then off out again - bonk this time - bank I meant to say bank !!!

Beezer xxx

May just do a few cartwheels round W@trose car park too !!!!! (not)!!!


ps Sus - of course they have heels !!! pic on fb!!!!

Suse - I am so impressed that you remember and respond individually to everyone.

My question re REM (Rapid Eye Movements) it what everyone does just as they drop off to sleep, not that you know cause you are just about to drop off to sleep LOL xx

Sending hugs to your little ones xxx {{}}

Beez - "pass him on" ???

Not sure I want your seconds Mrs Robinson! Although if he's decked out in leather ..... allowances can be made!

For now.

Gail.

Happy birthday Jillygoat XX

Oh Debs...luckily I still have my cold, I managed to cover the laughter as coughing! Which then turned into a full-blown coughing fit and offers of glasses of water!

Happy birthday Jillygoat!

Oh Gail - I think I need to be dozydebs!
LOL

You and me both Beez.

I'm sick of it now.

Apparently, unless I'm bleeding out of my eyes, I'm not an emergency!!

Try telling me that to my face at 3am with a throbbing mouth.

Well done Debs2 - window cleaners have just arrived and are looking at me like I am totally bonkers laughing at screen - all on my own!!!!

I might attempt a Mojito at the weekend. Can't have that bottle of Havana Club going off, can we ...?!?!

Afternoon All,

The office is empty so thought I'd pop by - t'interweb at home has packed up, and could I speak to anybody at orange.............hurumph! Will try again tonight but don't hold out much hope!

Happy Birthday Jillygoat!!

Hazel - Ouch, hope toe is feeling better soon.

Beezer The Teaser!!!

Debs2 - when me and him were in Cuba we went to that bar in Havana where the mojito was allegedly invented. It was fantastic!! Really tiny, all cramped in, reading all the graffiti on the walls - I'd go back there tomorrow if I could (Cuba in general, not just La Bodega!!)

Dear Mr Christophe of Lambie-piesville

I have today submitted 2 absolute crackers for my Gobsmackers. Yes, I know you've "done mine" before (and two Christmasses running for my crackers too!) but these are really coolio anthems.

Yours, everso hopefully


La Deev x x x

Have finally recovered from the coughing fit, to read Beez's comments.....

Have stopped panicking a bit now. Spoke to my boss who has agreed the Friday before exam as Study leave, so will have a bit more time to cram for it.

To be honest, I only need to remember it all until the end of the exam, as it's so far out of my usual field, I will never need to use the knowledge again....just need the module points (stupid system)!

Tobes & Beez, my sympathies, there's not much worse than toochache IMHO

JG x

Thanks for even more birthday wishes - you're too kind!!

My French fancy (for any latecomers, that's the cake that I'd treated myself to) was lovely but I didn't put a candle in it in the end 'cos that seemed just a bit too sad.

A delivery has just been made from a friend of mine - a huge 1500 piece jigsaw - that should keep me out of mischief for a while!! The cheeky moo had written on the box "Dear Postman - this is for an elderly person so please allow them time to answer the doorbell" - mind you, I'm feeling more like 88 than me actual 48 years but even so, I'll be having words with her!

jillygoat xx

Hi Chris,

I loved your blog today. I can just picture your sheepish look and that magic, silent moment. You're such a gifted writer. I can't wait for your book.

x.x.x.

Debs2 - so glad I'm on my own here - laughing like a drain. Why do we say that?

Susan - Weather on it's way, hopefully. Spent a lovely 2 weeks in Scotland last July. Want to come back as it was absolutely beautiful and didn't cover everything we'd planned to do.

Penny x

Deev, me too re Cuba - great place.

xx

Happy Birthday jillygoat.

I hope you didn't keep the Postman waiting!

x.x.x.

And another weird thing, along the lines of psychic iPods .....

On Faceache I have 163 friends. Why is it that when I think of someone lovely, their photo appears as one of the few depicted? He's been there all day!

It's quite distracting. But in a very nice way!


Darce - we stayed in Varadero and did the Havana overnighter - amazing!!!! Such a poor ocuntry, yet they are all so happy! And I lost half a stone on holiday - healthy food, oodles of freshly caught fish .... and Mojitos!

Madcatian - pure coincidence but I was changing out of my jeans into my old trackie bottoms (they're far more comfortable for me at the moment) just as the doorbell rang, so yes, I did keep the postie waiting for a while! Luckily we've got one of those door entry phone things so I was able to tell him that I was on my way and not to leave just yeet!

It's not easy hurrying yourself into trackie bottoms when you can't bend your left leg, and you're in a hurry ..... !

Hi Susan

Going back to the garlic related hallucinations, my sister actually rang me in the middle of the night once, as she was absolutely convinced there was someone standing on the landing. She was hysterical because "they/it" was standing between her room and where her two girls were sleeping (she's on her own).

It took me ages to calm her, and frightened me too at first, until I remembered Mum had said earlier that they'd been out for a Thai meal...hence the garlic.

She's vowed never to eat it again, other than indirectly in ready made sauces etc. where it's much milder, and doesn't have the same effect.

Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this from food?
