Oh bless him Julie, he's done you proud
You could have stayed for another hour! ( we would have gone though).
It was lovely to see you and Alan, and Lyn and Jean and Steve.
Here's to the next time!

Love, Doreen xx

Hello!

So lovely to meet you at last Julie and Doreen, and to see you again Jean, and of course your respective men! The prospect of me ever dragging my other half along is nil, he is definitely a 'homebird' almost down to slippers and pipe, well perhaps not quite but you get my drift!!

Pleased to hear that Bud was okay Julie and obviously pleased to see you return. It was good to hear all about him and his tricks, hope the psychology starts to work soon otherwise you and Alan might be needing to see one ... yourselves.

Jean, I don't think you should have mentioned Doreen's slight er ... demeanour. You really said you wouldn't and now people are going to be asking questions!! Still Doreen I'm sure it was all an accident, wasn't it?! Least said and all that!

Thank you all for the delightful gifts, Christmas come early! I now have my new tiara and matching magic wand, my broomstick is parked on the drive. I will change my avatar with the 'new look' asap. I'm afraid though, for health and safety issues, I will have to pass up the kind offer of borrowing Melly's cat. Hope he isn't too disappointed.

I also have some new scissors with assorted blades courtesy of Jean and Doreen. I just need to get in a bit of practise then I'll be open for business with new cutting edge innovatory styles. First in the queue Eleanor?

Just to keep me going when I get peckish (often!) I have a hand knitted jam butty complete with paper party plate from Julie. I will never go hungry again!!

Thank you to you all for making my first 'grouse' a very enjoyable one. Here's to lots more Now so tired I think I'll have to flop in bed, much as I'd like to catch up with some posts, I am zapped!

Love Lyn x

here we go again!!!

I can't see how what you did was an accident Jean.
We never saw the poor chap again after that

It was a bit embarrassing when Julie insisted on using her plastic plates.

Well, she would, wouldn't she? Floosy - and fancy wearing such a tacky tiara in company - says it all really.

How lvoely you all got togther nice meal loads fun

How is Alan's knee Julie? I wasn't patting it for goodness sake it was ... er ... therapeutic massage , poor man was in pain!!

It was a bit of a dilemma with the man and the condom machine though wasn't it? What a palaver! Hope they got him out

Excuse me Jean? Floosy? Tacky tiara? You won't be calling anything tacky once I get my magic wand going! Don't forget World Cup coming up and lots of opportunities We do want England to win don't we?! South Africa here we come ...

Lost me way!!

They were plastic scissors Eleanor, surely she can't do much harm with those

And it wasn't a sandwich, it was steak in a muffin with salad and chips. I saw what you and Lyn looked like eating it with your fingers and decided it would be best to use a knife and fork! (and I didn't want to break me front teeth! ).

Sounds great! Wish I had been there. I would have used a knife and fork to Doreen - for the same reason as you! Lyn can do plenty with plastic scissors! Just be careful putting your hair near them when she is holding them!
