Morning CLP,

If that was my side of the bed the maltesars wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes, I can't resist them!! Have you started the Dan Brown book yet, is it worth me getting it, have been tempted.

NM

Morning Chris,

It looks like some Maltesers have escaped from the bowl! If they'd been mine there would be none left at all - chocolate IMHO always tastes better cold.

I could do with an adjustment on my neck at the moment, it's very sore - still hopefully the physio will sort that out on the 5th.

Loving your work

Morning Mr E. Mmmmmmm, cold maltesers, mmmmm! I specially like it when you get a chewy one!

All well here - only 2 days work (inc today) and then I'm off on my jollies to Dorset woo hoo!!!!!

T xxxx

good morning Chris

very long time lurker, but have meaning to blog for ages!
Listened to the show last night as usual and it did make me laugh! Mr Saunders is a whimp! my 6 year ols son has been receiving adjustments since he was 3 months old, it was the only cure for colic, he now goes every 3 months and loves it, it is me that pulls the faces as i hear the 'cracks', but I did say last night that i should go and get my shoulder sorted as I am the only memeber of the Family that doesn't go!

Seeing that picture, I now want maltesers, off to the vending machine I go!

CLP,
Listened with interest last night. Maybe I should goi and get this back problem sorted!

Tins,
I am with you. What is it about chewy Maltesers!

MC,
RE yesterdays snoring posts. Have YOU tried ear plugs. Mrs Thunder wouldnt be without them!!

Mawning!

CLP - I love the fact that your bedside table includes your small loose change - my other half does that too, as did my dad when I was little.

Is this a man thing???

My bedside table looks like a library - currently reading Piers Morgan's God Bless America, as well as the Nella Last War one. I know Piers isn't everyone's cuppa but he does make me laugh - he knows he's not Mister Popular and thrives on it. And he has the most extraordinary relationship with Simon Cowell.

So, about this database ......

Laters!

x x x x

I was running errands yesterday after work so I listened to the whole show (apart from the first half an hour as I was still in work at that point!)

I sat there in my car (actually telling my car to be quiet because I couldn't hear the popping lol)

I'm actually really tempted to have an adjustment but I don't think I can afford it (or know where to find an Osteopath?!?!) Then again maybe if I get a new job I'll be able to afford one lol

Chris,

Just one question.

Why do you keep a lettuce next to the bed?

On the book front I am reading Juggle! Rethink Work, Reclaim your Life by Ian Sanders - it was suggested to me by my husband as a way to get me more interested in my current job until I find a new one.

It's a good interesting book but I'd rather be reading The Art of Compassion - I was given it as a birthday present in April and I'm still only half way through because I keep reading other books - it's not good!

Barney3/4

You just got to have some salad with malteasers.

I am wondering what number reception is on the phone.

Morning All,

Chris.....now i want maltesers too......but no vending machine here, so I'll just have to raid the biscuit tin instead!

Deev....the loose change dummping is definately a bloke thing, but t'other alway dumps it on my bedside table, so it always ends up in my purse!!

Right of to re-type an email for boss.......all change as he's just spoken to the person the email is for......DOH!

Oh and colleague that sits across from me has just written partbaked instead of partake.....that says alot about this place at the moment!

ebx

Don'tchya just HATE it when the fax machine decides to go orf during Pop Master ...... soooooooooooo noisy - shurrup, I'm trying to hear Ken!!

Barney - that really made me laugh!

CLP - your answer please ....!!!

Deevs
x x x

Barney - LOL - lettuce by the bed - wonder what Chris will say!

I LURVE having by neck and back 'cracked' and was actually thinking I need to go after hearing Jonnies crack - it is such a satisfying sound! Off to listen again to Chris giggling.....

later
Deevs - get on with the database girl!

debs

Morning all

Blimey Chris, methinks you need a bigger bedside table! And yes what's with the lettuce, very bizarre. Answer please!!

Mr P lobs his loose change into a container every night, mainly because it has on numerous occasions ended up in the hoover! Then every so often takes it to Sainsbugs and puts in one of those change thingys and hey presto we then go to the pub!!

So, boy2 delivered back to school after dentist has looked at his vampire tooth & said I'll fix that Friday.


Off to lunch with Mum soon & trying to sort out idea for Good Luck card for colleague who's retiring soon before I go.

Mr Seza has 3 big tins by the bed that the change gets slung in. Can't get it out without a tin opener so gets left til that time of year we're not allowed to mention yet or holibobs then we cut them open & count it up.

Hope everyone's having a lovely day

Baggy: on my recent visit to Margate, I drove everyone mad by continually singing "Down to Margate" - "you can keep the Costa Brava, and all of that palava" - love it!!

And don't get me started on the Sideboard Song! I love Chas & Dave!

Chris, I really must try Malteasers and red wine - sounds like a winner!
Forgive me, but I won't be listening again to Johnny's neck cracking - my worst nightmare!

C xx

Oh dear, I hope you brush your teeth young man???

Hardly ever read in bed nowadays cos we've got a sloping ceiling and it's just not comfy. (Bit scared at the mo cos my landlord just emailed to say the solicitor needs access to the property to do a valuation for the bank - does anyone know if that means he's likely to be selling up or is it just a formality that takes place???) HELP IF POSSIBLE PLEASE. XX

Chas and Dave to split.

This truely is 'The day the music died'

We shall not see their like again!

Who could ever forget -

CHR - it might mean that the Landlord wants to borrow more money or remortgage? Do you have a good enough relationship with him/her to ask why?

Afternoon

I didn't post this morning as I was in a right bad mood, got stuck in traffic, and then got irritated by one of my colleagues, but I'm feeling brighter now.

I bought Mr JG a money box that adds up all the coins as they go in, it can tell what coin it is automatically. He is now obsessed with it, and has been known to raid my purse to get to a round number! Anyway, I think he's got over £300 in it now, and it's for a weekend break in the New Year.

Health rep - maybe your landlord is just re-financing, don't panic!

JG x

debs - no - just trying to do lots of little jobs while I'm waiting for the states to come online :-)
JG - I want one of those money counters but Mr bp said it was too bean countery - even for me!

Loving these glimpses of your homelife that you give us Chris - great bedside table pic!

Baggy - think Bingo is going to be Boingo from now on - Lol.

Thanks so much for all the kind comments from everybody yesterday - you are all such a lovely bunch. Highlights again how great this blog is. xxx

Scoobs - wispa gold was delish thanks!

Good Luck for MTF for today and Lyndy tomorrow x

Has anyone seen the pics today of Sydney shrouded in red dust? Amazing!

Lots of love to you all xxx

Darce x

Barney: well, yes, I will concede that particular track is a duffer! Even Mozart had a couple of duffers, too!

C xx

Damn, missed last night's show - was late leaving work, then went to the gym and was getting into the car just as the 7pm news was starting :-( Good news for me though if CLP's radio show will be starting at 7am, it means I get to listen for a whole 45 minutes woo hoo!!

Tinsel, how long are you away for? Have a fab time!

SBP, mmmmmm fudge *drooling slightly*. Now that's just mean, Malteser talk and now fudge, when I can't have any of it!!

BLYipE, oh no, hope your back stops spasming soon (is spasming a word??).

JG, that's a good idea - £300!! Flippin brilliant, have you decided where to go yet?

AF xx

ps personally, I prefer Revels to Maltesers - there's a Malteser aspect, but also the element of surprise with the others. Wish they'd get rid of the raisin ones though, yuck!

AF - so with you on the element of surprise with Revels but I do wish they'd put the nutty ones back. I love a good nutty one, me!

Having said that, if it's choccywoccywocwoc it's good in my book!

Maltesers are best sucked, I find.

Deevs
x x x

My favourites are the toffee ones - suck 'em and see indeed. Or the orange ones, where I try to get the choccy off first, then eat the middle. And the coffee ones :-)

Can I just point out that I don't tend to eat them in public, for some reason it puts some people off...

Oh dear, getting a bit obsessed now and I can't have any choccy at all until Friday!

AF x

Afternoon folks,

Wednesday already .

CLP, great picture, made me laugh, Barney , well spotted on the lettuce, i had to go back and get a second look. Cant do cold chocky though, and maltesers , love the chewy ones , such a nice surprise .

Margot, hello , sorry i missed you , was only just thinking about you too. Hope things are going well xx.

JG, £300 , fabby , get it booked !

Deev, Hows the database going ?? shout if you need help , I am a bit of a plodder but my boss is a sooper star at it, so dont struggle.

SBP , have you tried the "burnt sugar" range of fudge - boxes available from ELH , cant leave it alone .

AF, hello , hope you are ok, dont overdo the swimming and stuff. Look after yourself.

We are off to see Jason Manford at the Apollo tonight, tickets turned up just in time. Its gonna be filmed and we are right near the front, gonna have to wear a disguise .

MC xxx

MC, you do know that if we see a woman in sunglasses with a Wispa Gold bar between her teeth, we'll know it's you...

Hee hee.

AF x

AF,

Tee Hee , good one , but only have limited time between getting in tonight and having to go out. Those FB pictures take time dahling !!

MC xxx

mmmm glass of red anytime but especially before sleep

Why do have a lettuce by your bed or is it an ornament

Liz x

AF - why no choccy til Friday? A little bit of what you fancy n'all ...!

I am just demolishing a packet of marmite crisps - they truly are the top of the crisp world tree, IMO. Weird thing is, I'm not that keen on the actual black sticky stuff that comes in jars.

Will endeavour to do another 5 miler in the morning to walk them off tho!

Database is underway - hurrah!!!! Not sure about manipulating the data yet - will have a play after lunch just to make sure it's all working properly.

MC - have fun tonight - we will look out for you when it's televised!

Deevs
x x x

Morning all!

Haha Barney, I can't stop seeing a lettuce everytime I look at that pic now! Good spot!

I've been being so good on the chocolate front this week (in fact haven't had any since the Whispa Gold on Friday I think it was), but all this talk and now I'm going to have to leg it to the shop to stock up!

Hope everyone is well (and BLYipE's back has stopped spasming)

SWF

PS: My fax-flirt has just asked me for a pic, oooo-errr! Might just send him a pic of Angelina Jolie as I told him I'm her spitting image ;-)

Deevs - I know what you mean! I'm not very keen on the stuff either, but I lurve Twiglets . . .go figure

Twiglets - now as a snack, they rock!! x

MC & AF - no idea where we're going, he's arranging it and it's going to be a surprise. Hopefully not too far, as it'll only be Fri-Mon, and we don't want to spend ages travelling there.

Last time he booked a break we went to The Grange Hotel at Grange over Sands, which was lovely, and the time before we went to Ironbridge in a cottage.

He's actually quite good at choosing places, so I'm lucky!

JG x

New Party game for FNWC.

Are you ready?

Ok, we all know what Apple Bobbing is, correct?

Replace apples with Maltesers, replace water with red wine, get the picture yet.

What do you reckon. sounds good fun to me!!

Malteser bobbing , its the way forward, LOL.

MTF.xx

Only after Strictly has finished tho MTF!

Deevs
x x x x

Oooh, thats assuming they float?

Anyone free to try it out as a practice run?

Best not me, off to work in a mo.x

Of course Deevs.xx

To float or not to float, might just depend on the density of the alcohol, Hmmmm !!!!!

Spent too long in the science lab this morning, methinks.

MTF.xx

and if you are Beez, and put your maltesers in a glass of fizzy pink stuff, will the bubbles aid their buoyancy ...... !

Deevs
x x x x

That combo sounds heavenly Deevs.x

White maltesers in pink fizz, ooooohhhhh, lush!

I can almost picture them bobbing almost as if dancing amongst the bubbles.

Can you tell I'm on an alcohol free week, does it show?

LOL.

Off to work now,

MTF.xx

White maltesers??? That's just wrong!!!


AF, I'm away for a week, can't wait.

Am now going to google money boxes that count it as it goes in!!

T xxx

Hi Chris.Ilove maltesers,eat too many of them,like you i eat them in bed.
Looking at your bedside table did make me smile.Glad im not the only one who thought why have you got a lettuce there.??????
love to all.xx

MTF - I am defo liking the idea of malteezers in fizz!

Re Revels - I went to the cinema recently and they didnt have maltwhatsits only Revels - I said to the oik trying to 'upsell' me them - "but I dont like the coffee ones and its too late when they are in your mouth" - he replied "well just spit them out - Its dark and no one will see!"

Hmph, never got to try the white maltesers, I thought they were a limited edition thing - MTF, do you know different?? And what's with all this encouraging bloggers to drink wine and eat chocolate - what sort of dentist are you woman?? And will you be my dentist hehe.

JG - Just had a quick catch up with this afternoons blog. I had my wedding reception at the Grange Hotel, what a coincidence! Lovely place isn't it?

NM x

Hi all

Hope you've all had a good day.
Boy2 has money box that counts, shaped like a robot. It's eyes flash when you go into the room at night & if you don't have it on mute it says things like SAVE MORE MONEY & DO YOU REALLY WANT TO TAKE THAT MONEY OUT! Scary

Seza xxxx

on the moneybox theme - I bought Mr bp a tardis shaped one to encorage him to save for the wedding - when you put in money the light at the top flashes and it makes that noise - I can say it didnt work and probably the only money in it is my loose change that I gave him on his birthday so he could play with it!

Ello, ello, ello!

Only you lot could make a discussion on chocolate last a week!
I don't even like the stuff, which is a result....at least there's one unhealthy food I don't eat.

Hi to all - nice to see Thunder fighting our corner regards Snoregate!
Has anyone seen him since? Poor fella! He will be missed.
While I'm at it - has anyone seen Tango?
I hope hasn't overdone it in the slips whilst facing someone's Googly!!!

Afternoon each

My word, that is one messy bedside table Chris. Is that green stuff lettuce?

xxx

Bingo Thanks for the Coldplay clip although the sound quality is a bit dodgey.

The last concert I attended was Oasis in Bournemouth. Now that's a venue where you can actually see the band without a manifying glass, although sadly probably that was for the last time in Oasis's case. Liam is Outta Time.

What's better than malteasers maybe a Milky way.

Afternoon - sorry been mega work busy but been trying to keep up. Also I don't particularly like choc although I am sure I saw white maltesers in the shop wot sells wispa gold and those new kit kat thingys.

I can now look at that screwed up plastic bag in a different light now I look at it like a lettuce. eeew CLP wot's in there?

LOL Rips!!


Key change with Class - Everything - Michael Buble - ha ha - might get it played !!!!



Right - nose grindstone - someone text me and kick me out the office about 11.

Rips, I was wondering about Tango he hasn't blogged since Monday after I'd said that I might have sussed how he keeps getting ARF's. I wasn't going to tell anyone honest TB - come back xx

Yep, managed to escape, they rarely both play on the same day, and even more rarely on a mid-week evening. The police normally get it changed.

Bad enough when just Man U play midweek, as I can never get out onto the main road by the office.

JG, I feel your pain. I regularly rant about the damnty bridge over the Forth. Have been blown over it almost every day this week - and again tomorrow. Don't you wish everyone would just stay at home?

xxxx

Hi Annie

Haven't caught up with you for a while, so sorry about your loss xx

We had to queue to get over that bridge when we went to Knockhill, and that was in the middle of the day!

The one I hate near us is Barton Bridge, on the M60, not cos it queues, but it's so damn high!

Just rang my sister as she was just ringing someone else, and scared her as she didn't know who/how/why! hehe

JG x

oo.chris you shouldnt have an adjustment every week.
i used to love seeing my back man,the neck adjustment was the best you come out feeling much better.
but i have now found a better back person..i think it is mctimony? anyway..you get flicked instead of cracked and you dont have to go back as often because it is better for your back..

oooh! Seasons in the Sun, know a very silly version of that, involves nose-picking hehe

Right, must get tea on the go....

JG x

Evening peeps!

Typing this on my new 17" pink lap top....how did I ever manage without it?

Makes multi tasking that much easier :o)

My treat before bedtime these days is a bowl of ben & jerry's ice cream. Have cookie dough one on standby for tonight.
