Hey Gill....OMG your post about the Greedy Greengrocer really had my ROFL last night................

(aww, I still think he's a little cutey )

He's all yours then Wish, no fighting from me. Greedy Greg the Greengrocer lol - we see him occasionally at Borough Market...well, they film a lot around there, and he has a stall (although someone else mans it for him)

Sounds horrendous Armell, you need some antihistamine type tablets I reckon?



I don't have any detergent capsules Wish, but only send them over if no one else wants them - ty

Hey Frannie. I'm great thanks. Been busy working and even managed to get some gardening in today as it has been like (whispers) "summer".

So detergent capsules are little sacks of soluble plastci filled with laundry detergent - you put them straight in the machine with the clothes ...you don't have these in US (actually. I don't remember seeing them when I was there) ??

LOL Armell I guess detergent is the LAST thing you want then. My OH has that too - and his back comes out in welts!! ooh - hope it clears up soon

[Frannie 0]

I don't think we have those here... I'm very brand loyal, so maybe it is here, but I just don't know

[armellproctor 0]

we are having 90k wind gusts here so there is no way i can get to my garden lol my back garden is a real mess lol i need a gardener lol, oh that would be me, lol

[Wish Fairy 0]

Really Frannie...I am totally amazed that they are not in US to be honest!

I'm not brand loyal rregarding groceries and detergent at all any more! So much stuff (in Europe at least) is made in exactly the same factories with only different packaging!

(although I use Fairy for my super-sensitive husband now LOL)

Oh my - well, one things for sure, we're never stuck for a topic of conversation with the weather.

It wasn't nice yesterday, but it's been gloriously sunny today, a lovely warm day for the time of year.

[armellproctor 0]

okay i am back, it's far too cold out there .

[Wish Fairy 0]

lovely and warm here still..................I am basking in the glory of the only whole day's sunshine we have had yet ! (and hoping this is not our "SUMMER")

I gotta go get dinner y'all.

Maybe see you later

[Frannie 0]

Bye Wish, bye Army. See you soon.

Aaaagh, today's problem, there's something wrong with the icemaker in our refrigerator, it doesn't seem to be calling for fresh water in, and it's making a really annoying creaking noise.

[Frannie 0]

oh my Gill... remind me to never invite you into my kitchen LOL you're a jinx

When that happens to ours.. I just shove the holder thing back in really had. Have been fixing it that way for two years now

[Frannie 0]

it's ever close to Saturday and I still don;t want to travel

[Zoonie 0]

I've wiggled the arm and we've just pulled the whole thing out and I've jiggled everything I can.

We've had it for about 13 years and it's moved from house to house, been in storage for a time and this is the first issue...

[Frannie 0]

I'm so disappointed in this weeks items.. can you help me.. I placed the new stuff in my room 2. The pink bathroom stuff... changed the paper and floor and it's still way blah. Maybe you can help me punch it up?

[Zoonie 0]

I'll go look, although I have to confess - I find the new items far too pale and ill defined, am not a fan either. Let me see...

[Frannie 0]

thanks Gill.... I'm longing for something bright in this game. It's been weeks now

[Zoonie 0]

I think you did a good job using that wallpaper and floor, give a sharper contrast. All I can think offhand is maybe lose the pink bows and try a window in there somewhere?

[Frannie 0]

ok.. I can try that

[Frannie 0]

I placed the window that has the pink curtains.. seems to help a bit more... thanks.. sometimes all it takes is someone else to look at it. Thanks much

Good evening, how's things?

[Zoonie 0]

You're welcome Frannie

Good Evening BG how are you?

I'm just going to pop a pizza in to the oven, brb

[Frannie 0]

hi Sophie! did you have a good day?

[Toulouse 0]

Glad today's almost over as I'm tired and hoping that the burns are less annoying tomorrow (the cream is helping, so I am glad). I also just biked for 30mins, so going to try to keep that up. And reading reviews of Remember Me. Went to see that movie yesterday (pretty heavy)

[Zoonie 0]

Hooray!
Ice maker is fixed, I found a slither of ice stuck at the back of the roller at the back of the ice bin. It's stopped creaking now and just called for a fresh supply of water, so it looks like we're back on track!

I missed you all yesterday, what burns have you got BG?

[Frannie 0]

I'm so so lazy today... and have so much to do

[Toulouse 0]

Idiotic burns if I might say so...

You know about the tick, so I had to have a bandage because of it and when I was trying to remove the glue of it yesterday, I might have rubbed a bit too hard with a product and that gave me a bit of burn marks. So I didn't sleep at all because it hurt a lot and it's finally better now, I've been putting Flammazine on it (it's something you use for burns)

[Frannie 0]

Just posted an egg

[Zoonie 0]

aaah I see BG, ouch!


Frannie, is you being lazy today to do with not wanting to go on Saturday? hmmm? hmmmm?

[Toulouse 0]

Yeah it wasn't my smartest move, but I had to get the glue off and it was the only product here in the house I could use. Off course went to the pharmacy to get the right one, but am avoiding bandages now

Whoot for the fixed icemaker!!

[Frannie 0]

hangs head.. yes Ma'am. I'm sure it has to do with me not wanting to travel Saturday.. and it's a shame, because I LOVE to travel and have never been to Dallas

[Frannie 0]

note: Dogs do not like coconut flavored jelly beans.. nor do their ownders

[Zoonie 0]

Oooh I can't remember if IMOM still needs eggs, will have to look.

Frannie, you're in denial


aaaw, European footie match on my team are playing at home - they're playing our song (You'll Never Walk Alone) I adore that song!

[Frannie 0]

OK see you soon Frannie...I have to go and serve dinner, BG see you soon too x

[Toulouse 0]

Bye guys, heading off as well, going to watch some tv and rest

[Zoonie 0]

Eaten
Lurking
while watching Liverpool play against Benfica...

[TanyaRC 0]

so I wonder .... what flavor jelly beans do dogs like??

[Zoonie 0]

Liver flavour


Tanya - we've scored!!!


I like coconut, I like it in icecream, but my favourite flavour icecream is pistachio or rhubarb crumble flavour (but you have to make that yourself)

[TanyaRC 0]

he he he ..... that sounds like a Harry Potter flavor ....

Love almost any flavor of ice cream .... I must say that I have never thought of putting rhubarb in it .....

Yaaa for the score ... Is this a regulat match or are they working towards some kind of playoff??

[Zoonie 0]

We're 2-0 ahead and as this is the second leg of a two leg match, we're now 3-2 ahead on aggregate (away goals used to count for double but don't seem to now) This is a European championship game (Europa League) with a cup at the end of the tournament. Our opponents tonight are top of the Portuguese national league.


Do you have crumble as a dessert over there Tanya?

[TanyaRC 0]

Good luck to your team ... It sounds exciting!! Why would away goals count for more?? isn't a goal a goal??

yes, we do. I misunderstood what you said ... I thought that you meant that you had rhubarb flavored ice cream ...

I love rhubarb .. I think a crumble is similar to what we call a crisp ..

[Zoonie 0]

Nooo, you understood me, it's homemade rhubarb icecream and then the crumble topping is in little pieces, a bit like a cookies and cream icecream, it's really lovely.
I don't have a very sweet tooth so I like those tart flavoured fruits like gooseberry, papaya and raspberries

Away goals count more in some tournaments (not in the league games) because it's generally considered to be an advantage to play at home with your own ground and your biggest support.

[TanyaRC 0]

did you see my post earlier this week??

I got gift bombed with presents to use as prizes for contests!!
