Also watching GBM, watched just the fish course before. Fish is more my thing than puds. I replied to your message - am a bit out of sorts, so read it in that vein, yes? Perhaps send me a bit more detail workwise and I can scout around for you, I did the logos for our two businesses, and, I don't take offence if ideas fall foul, I'm sharp on business head/friend head, so no worries. ((BG)) how are you feeling lovely? hopefully a bit better today? We have a lovely evening here.

I think that's right for Chihuahua, I don't even know if I have one rofl! My interest in PS has gone downhill big time to be honest - time constraints being one reason, and all the multitude of stuff being another. Am considering giving up on the G/R but when I get time, will message you and Frannie and have a chin wag. Tomorrow, just moseying around and meeting R from work, not sure what time I'll set off - I'm a bit brain dead at the moment (as if you couldn't tell!) I know this is off the wall, but if ever I could assist with a hand, with phone calls, diary notes/virtual office or whatever, you only need to shout up.

Grrr at the clients and their goal posts. I'm not hurting thanks, just aching - it's also this sense of dread (read fear!) as I'm in the quicksand of working hard physically all day, and not seeing any real progress. We'll both overcome the hurdles, but boy it's tough hey? Oh and to throw a spanner in the works for Monday (and needing to be sorted by then) I'm up to London for the day tomorrow *bad Gill

Congrats Marie xxx Yes, you're in just the right place. Hiya Wish - I've just flopped down, bone tired and toting a wine bottle - help yourself and tell me all about it.

I'll pop back later, big workload again today x

Morning, lovely morning. Mindy, I don't think any of my PS friends are up in Cumbria (it's on the north west coast of England, but covers a vast area which runs into the Lake District. My geography's not the best, but the red dot is approximately where Whitehaven is, and the purple dots are vaguely where Bee, Wish and I live (very approximately lol) It's really nice of you to check up on us - hopefully none of us have friends or relatives who were affected. I don't, but can't speak for anyone else - this has been an absolutely horrific incident, really shocking.

The Woodpeckers are a real sight for sore eyes. We get Green, who don't really do much apart from dig up the lawns digging for ants ( we seem to have gazillions of ants this last couple of years ) and we have Great Spotted too - who are glorious to look at, and very comical, but also awfully predatory, which puts me off them. Wish, dinner's ready, sorry I have to go - xxx

Ooh your fox cub is like me, I pootle! I just saw the Springwatch blue tits leave the box, but yes, missed ours - at least this year I wasn't on dawn patrol fending off the woodpeckers! I haven't seen any fox cubs yet this year, it's strange, although we're down south, we seem to be lagging behind.

Not watching BGT I watched it last night and felt like putting a bag over my head. Have Springwatch on, and it's glorious - their Blue tits fledged today and I missed it (am well peed off) PS cheap as chips was all Top Shop, she can't afford anything else

Massive change of subject Wish - our ED has been featured in a what do you wear to work feature, in Elle magazine, how about that? - shame it was a day when she went for cheap as chips!

Can't imagine what's gone on there can you? 3 are still critical and 5 are serious. One man was just outside cutting his hedge and was fatally shot as the killer drove by! Crikey it brings you up short and makes you count your blessings, at least for a time hey?

See BBC have a news programme on, replacing (probably) Eastenders - all about the killings today in Cumbria. It's been an incredibly shocking day.

oooh Wish, I have my shiatsu massage chair cushion going rofl! *zones out

I'm trying to overcome my habit of keeping hold of things that we aren't using. I'm really trying to turn over a new leaf. The TV situation is a poser, as we don't let TV dominate our lives, and we're amongst the last in the country here to get the analogue signal turned off...2012 or later, not sure??? We don't have Sky or anything, as I said before, so it's procrastination central round here! IMOM has new shoes to make him feel better

Frannie has done the list and I haven't even had a chance to look I've been brain dead of late (too long) - spreading myself so thinly I think! Up to yesterday everything I got to the Registry is in rooms 1 & 2...not sure who's away as no one else seems to bother much any more...any idea about Army??? I do know Marie is having her baby soon, so perhaps it'd be nice to send stuff to her, but then again, she may not have a moment to even think of PS - very likely hey? Chip is back from honeymoon, but then again she never posts to us any more, so not sure if she still plays or not.

Well IMOM is injured, he sustained bad burns to one arm and smashed the back of the other hand over the weekend (he slipped on the kitchen tiles) - on the mend now though. New Everhot is fab - although of course it's warmed up here today, so I turned the ovens and simmer plate off until later (a benefit over other ranges) It looks just beauuuu-tiful The suite, long story, it's positively ancient, but in such good nick, hard to tell from new, and really solid, It's a kind of light pistachio come olive green, very soft colour, based on a chesterfield style, but with loose seat cushions, so not quite so formal looking if you get my drift? But as the room's L shaped, it really ought to have two times two seater sofas, or a two and a three. It's stood as it is for 9 years mind - we never go in there anyway

We're just having a conversation about getting rid of a leather suite, which I have such a soft spot for, but which doesn't really go in the room (which is L shaped) and a TV we bought a few years ago, which was a big mistake - it weighs an absolute ton! (no joking) We donated our old oven to a Hastings charity, am wondering if they'll come and collect the other stuff before Monday, which is when the carpet fitters arrive!

Oh Wish, you're still here, thought I'd missed you, have done my shoulder in shifting a big pine dresser and top with IMOM, grrrr.

lucky you! Hiya Wish - have collapsed with a vodka and tonic! Hope you're ok?

OK Bee thanks. The odd thing is that on News 24 they have a man signing the news for deaf people, and he has a resemblance to the picture behind him, of the man they're seeking! Take care Bee, I must go and get cracking, see you soon x

I've just this moment got rid of her! This news is terribly disturbing

Several dead and several badly injured, they've released the name of the man they're looking for.

Oh Bee the news is awful, a gunman on the rampage in Cumbria, have you heard?

See you BG, take care. Get well soon. It's not nice, but the alternative would be to simply say I can't spend all this time keeping her company - which is the message she got from her other friend. The thing is, she never thinks anyone else is likely to be doing anything if she isn't doing anything.

I'm going to have to think of a good ruse, and start laying foundations for it!
