Drop in and say HI Thread

Recommended Posts

Dropping by to say hello - yet again not staying (sorry)

We're having the loveliest weather these days, really, but it's been a bit too hot for me, it's having a bit of an effect. Also went to town with BF yesterday afternoon, we walked around there for a couple of hours and was really beat afterwards - hoping it's just now and it'll pass, am a bit worried for the trip to be honest.

Okay, as I said, not staying, BF's still here for 2 days, so am spending my time with him off course :-)

Sorry wasn't around earlier, rotten headache and sore eyes, this dry weather and hay fever from the pollen. Am now hoping the tablets last.

Well, what a shocking performance from England in the world cup, how to bring the country's mood down - it was diabolical

Am watching Holland play Slovakia right now (supporting Holland as we have a close Dutch friend) and I'm also cheering Ghana on (as the last African side still in the tournament)

PS is giving untold problems, I've had the left side thing in FF, now I can't get it to load AT ALL. Grrrr.

Got a Playfish message on my FB page, saying they thank people for letting them know, they're 'working on it'

It happened again last night, Argentina's first (I think) goal was clearly offside, the Mexican players absolutely surrounded the Ref and, against all FIFA instructions, there was a replay on the big screens at the ground - it showed it to the whole crowd.

There's uproar!
FIFa are so corrupt.

Have tried getting in through all the FB options, and also through Playfish's own website - no joy still Frannie.

what's the reward for being corrupt? I s there a large betting pool? Or just country loyalty?

Oh and about the football, I'm hedging my bets now, supporting Holland and Spain (because players from my club (Liverpool) feature in their sides, and also Ghana, because they look like they're having such a great time at the tournament

Well, bits of news

It's extremely hot here all of a sudden, and the pollen count's high (hence the appearance of hay fever for me this year)

ED has been very busy at work, the sale is on and she's rushed off her feet, so I hadn't spoken to her for a week until today.
She did however, meet up with her sister on Saturday, they shopped for a picnic at the market and then took it to Regents Park to eat and they had a lovely time.
http://www.royalparks.org.uk/parks/regents_park/

After that they went to ED's b/f's salon and he cut YD's hair for her, and did her a blow dry with curls.
She then went on a night out with her gang of friends in London.

YD called me today, thrilled with her hair, and says work's going well, but also busy as they've gone live with the new systems (her boss is still away)
I'm going in to town on Wednesday and meeting her for coffee.

IMOM is ok although he nearly burst a blood vessel shouting at the TV yesterday lol.

House is finished apart from some outside decorating and this missing piece for a radiator.
I still have a couple of rooms of the dregs of the junk - must make an effort to do about an hour a day sorting.

Oh and I have three baskets of ironing waiting, but it's far too hot!

^
was it worth it? not exactly exciting is it? congratulations

my life has not been nearly as full... let's see.. I still need a haircut, still need a color job which I will do myself.

Mark is on vacation this week but we are not going anywhere. We had toyed with the idea of going to Gettysburg, a civil war location. After careful thought though, this is not a good time. This is the anniversary of the big battle and it will be crowded. It's also VERY hot, so we will save it for the fall.

Edie - the big ol hairy dog- is maintaining on her half dose of pain relief/anti inflammatory, though I see her aging by the day. I'm afraid I won't have her much longer

I got some really good shampoo and conditioner, it's for coloured hair, or hair that needs 'rejuvenating' and IT'S AMERICAN!
The brand is called Matrix, do you know it?

Ah yes.. familiar with all the Matrix Products.. they are sold in salons.. I've used them for years!

My Salon uses them, and I got a good deal on some from an internet site Smile

Sorry to hear about the doggie problems, it's so sad, even if you understand their ageing and it can't be helped.
I reckon Dennis is over 10 years old, possibly 12. So far, if he's not attacked, he seems in good condition, goodness knows what's going to happen if he becomes ill.


I don't blame you for steering clear of the crowds in the heat - totally agree.

I'm so wanting to go to Gettysburg, before we move West. It's only a 6 hour ride from here... supposed to be VERY haunted

Hi everyone, long time no see. congratulations How is everyone? I was pretty busy today. My mom removed all carpets from our house and I've had to help her clean the floors. Then when she saw the freezer opened she almost started to cry. Everything melted, because my dad forgot to close it yesterday night. I've helped her to move the `survived` stuff from the freezer to our 2nd freezer in the garage.
That's pretty much all, it has been a very busy day Sad

I've been reading up about Lionel Messi (plays for Barcelona and the Argentian national side) - can't believe he only just turned 23, and, what a nice guy he is. He has his own charitable foundation, all for the benefit of vulnerable children, to help with their health and their education.

was one of the largest battlefield sites with massive casualties for both sides. I'll spare you all the details of the campaign, as I imagine they can be dry. My brother and I are both huge Civil War Buffs. He actually would enjoy the trip more than Mark, but Mark will go anywhere... as long as I drive LOL

Thanks for the facts, yes - terribly sad. We had Civil War here too - if I'd have been alive, I'd have been a Cavalier, no question!


Oh yes, love you and leave you - lol, a saying from my Grandmother's knee.

See you soon x

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone. It's a pretty hot but cloudy afternoon here. It's extremely hard to breath outside which means only one thing - rain is coming. I am just about to have lunch.

Hoping that everyone is having a wonderful day today congratulations

Just stopping by - work is so manic this week (thought I will have an easy one with boss on holiday).

It rained for a bit this morning as I was walking to catch my train and it was nice and refreshing. Back to hot and sticky as it's bit cloudy.

Hope you all had nice weekend
