Come in for a few drinks to try and forget after working out I spent just over £4 grand on immigration last year
A drink for BEVShere, hope you're OK

Just the one then I'm off to bed, got to be up for work tomorrow morning...should really try and be sober...

Been really bad at following the Six Nations this year. In fact I have been so out of touch that i didn't realise it had started and my Dad is away on hols so he hasn't rung to keep me up to date either
Probably best I don't ask about the scores....

Have another drink, a bottle of Merlot for you and I'll have the same then I really am off to bed
How's it all going with you and the move, all organised? Hope your Mam is on the mend.
I know just how you feel about your dog, I had to lose my beloved lab last year and I still keep imagining that he's still here. He's really just outside doing some "gardening" or asleep on the settee [sneaked on there again whilst I wasn't looking]. I knew it was time and it was the right thing to do [ he was in a lot of pain which could not be controlled] but it was still so hard to make that decision. You just have to do what is best for them It isn't any easier being in the profession either.

Anyway I've finished my drink, rambled on a bit and really must go now.
Good luck and all the best

BEVS

My username always sounds tipsy to me.

It's s'posed to be just BEVS, after me husbands nickname, but someone else got there before me.

Anyhow two bottles of Shiraz for me and a packet of peanuts. I'm holding up quite well all things considered. Thanks

Not long til the Rugby World Cup and we, Nelson , get two games.
Who's here then?

Am Loolah

Oh go on then. Hubby's on morning duty so I can push it to 4 bottles of Bolly by IV tonight! No peanuts Bevs sorry, will you have cashews?

Huge hoohaa here in Tauranga as they got 0 games ... I'm afraid I'm not a rugby fan though so I may just give the bar a quick polish ...

Youngest pulled first top front tooth out this morning, so about to don wings and tiara, grab wand and go be tooth fairy ...

Thanks for the drinky And guess what people...you listening Phyl...we've got tickets for the Calcutta Cup on Saturdaydarling daddy came through for us so we - OH kids ,x2 and moi - are getting up really early on Saturday and driving up to Twickers. Have discussed with work colleagues about doing an Erica Rowe (showing my age) but as I may just trip up... get me?...I'm going to pass. How excited are we??? Drinks and nibbles for you all

BEVS

OMG. I've so envious.

Twickers.

weejie

Oh you jammy bugger how jealous am I right now? Will need to do with a bottle of merlot and the telly,me shouting at the top of my lungs I hope you all have a great day out and the result goes our way.....do you have a chance of someone being upset in the ranks with your OH and kids?.

Just been looking at fixtures for 2011 world cup and guess what!!!!! Scotland play a match in Dunedin on Wed 14th Sep,so will need to get tickets for that. England also play a group match there as they are in the group qualifier with Scotland.

Remember to give it laldy at Flower of Scotland

Oh well same old same old...as the first penalty flew over the bar i hoped we'd be on for a win, but hey, it was a great day out, surrounded by men in kilts singing their hearts out and offering any and all a drink. The bar under our stand had to ration the beer!!!
I forgot just how horrible and busy it is up in London though. It took us an hour from the end of the motorway - by Chiswick roundabout - to Richmond station where we were parking for the shuttle bus to Twickers. And coming home was no better. Kew Bridge Road chocker at 7.15pm. I'm sure it was never that busy when I was a child, catching the 65 bus to the skating rink We got home at midnight, suitably knackered and boy child in a foul mood.
But sooooo worth it for the close up shorts...
Hope you get tickets for 2011 Phyl x

weejie

Didn't expect anything else really,did we Got excited when Tom Evans nearly got a try but soon realised was not to be. Glad you all enjoyed the experience.....and the men in shorts Did your dad manage to curtail his language for HRH? You can be sure that I will do my upmost to get tickets for 2011
