Wish Fairy

Hi Paige - I'm just running in to say HI too. Hope you're ok. Gill - it's hot as anything here and not even 9am. Sun is shining - woo hoo Gotta go and do shopping, gardening and washing now. BBQ later on ! Enjoy the weekend

Hey BG - did I miss you ? Anyone else around ?

Wow - that's a great pic! So cool that you 2 managed to visit. It will be great if you get to meet up with Sophie.

OK, then I'll get my own wine LOL

Aww no - did I miss Boo ?!! Well that sucks. Hi eveyone who's here. Just arrived home - must go and feed my poor pooches who have been home alone since I left at 7a,m :-( I am a rubbish parent ! BRB - BG / Gill - if you 're here, please have wine waiting for me when I come bacK - thx

Hey Paige :-) I can't beleive it...I forgot you SO Sorry - it was late when I finished it last night. Will you be in charge of Beer and BBQ ?? I think no-one can beat the Aussies at that

Enjoy that then - he is a fablous actory IMO. G'nite Gill

LOL @ Horlicks..me too now (yawning) - am catching Jamie on CH4+1 ..but am flagging badly and have used the last remaining brain cells to share HR war stories with my friend about employees who are in Gender re-assignment. Not to mention my "Real Life" thread. Exhausted...crashing very soon. Lovely to spend the virtual evening with you - the first in a long time. Good Luck with decorating and enjoy the rest of your week. Hope to be around at weekend :-)

LOL I can tell you for sure we will not be getting any extension to our garden !! However, we are only 5 minute drive from the beach. OMG - Chip is married ? and Maries baby is born already ? I was sure to miss someone !! I just saw that I missed Karelle's birthday :-( Well, on the upside, if everyone turns up I can make amends then LOL

Really Amazing ....so cool. I'm very happy about this story Sylvi - thanks for sharing :-)

Ooh Nice - I missed it I think. I was on the phone to my oldest friend and working on my new thread http://www.petsociety.forumotion.com/c-g-f37/what-ifwe-all-could-meet-in-real-life-t11244.htm

Ok, so Wish and Sharon are bringing you the next in the "Real Life" series I think that all of us at C&G have thought about how it would be if we all could meet in real life. I know that some of us have managed to meet up (Kijo and Tanya etc), but what if we ALL could meet in the same place ??????? Any thoughts on that ? Would it ruin everything ? I think it would be a RIOT. So, let me start you off: I imagine you all arriving at my house early on a lovely summer evening. We will have a wonderful apperitif (served my Mr Zoonie and Mr Wish - who I am reliably informed make a mean Gin and Tonic ). Chupa will bring us some far flung "Sunny Island" Cocktails I hope. You can meet my dogs (the famous Pip and Efes) and of course we will swap animal stories (well, Gill, Frannie, Tanya can share their cat tales at least). We will toast Socks - cos we all miss him We will toast "the couples" with my favourite champagne - Boubie & Boogie, Joki & Snorks, Zoonie and Blue. We'll be able to congratulate Kijo and Sophie on the marriage of their pets in person! We have many keen cooks, so we will feast like kings and queens. Gill, Frannie and Armell - I was counting on you all to help me with food! (Armell and Frannie on desert especially !) And KB will be in charge of wine !! For music I bring you the playlist of your suggestions that I took with me to Australia ! Things I need to see: Tanya - I want to do a photo swap of your Disney Pics and you must meet my Disney Fan Husband Fran - I want you to bring us a C&G friendship quilt that we can snuggle under when the sun goes down Sophie (BG) - you must bring your Mum as we are all dying to meet her Dawn - bring the OH please with motorbike and camping gear as we may need extra sleeping space My lovely friend Di - you must bring the family. T will be needed to keep Andy sane and G will keep us all entertained. Kijo - you will be in charge of real life group photos and ensure we capture all out special moments (just like you do for us so well in PS) Armell - bring whoever and whatever you want - I'm just dying to meet you. Gill - we are all waiting to meet IMOM so show us he really exists and is not just an Austin Powers pic who is the "face" of Kitty who helps us out when we've been missing from PS. My white dog will constantly harass you all to stroke him, in between bouts of fending off "hostiles" from the garden (foxes, pigeons and other wildlife). My old dog will bark at you all to be quiet and talk one by one because he is a little deaf and hates it when everyone talks at once Leo / Mindy / Rena / Mary / Lou Ann / Tammy / Gillian (Ashkettle) - Although we are FB friends I don't think we are on the forum together a lot - it would be cool to talk and get to know you all better. We will be re-united with people we haven't seen on the Forum for a long time - Foxy / Diva / PinkyPoo / Squirrel / Yarden / Elvis / PinkyV / Chippy / Marie F etc, etc..... Marie, Bee and Dawn - we can share weight loss recipes right and perhaps do some Syn free snacks and munchies ?! All our newer members are, of course, invited - everyone welcome! Please bring something interesting to share with us (we like food, books, jokes, booze and art - among other things) After we've eaten and the sun is going down, KB will bring the Porto for us and we can snuggle down and listen to a spooky tale from Dr Cabra It will be a perfect if imaginary evening. I know, I know - it's self indulgent, but c'mon - don't pretend you've never considered it. Please, if you will, indulge me and share you Real Life C&G evening or meeting with me...

Mmmm..I love all herbs too ..apart from Parsley. I used to HATE coriander as it tasted like eating soap ?! But I'm used to it now and am a fan !

We are both really jarred off tonight with work and having a moan at each other! now parsley sauce........i love the idea of it, but the taste of it knocks me sick :-(

me too ! I need carbs and chocolate!

Bye Frannie Gill - wow still sounds like a mammoth feast with limited resources - well done!! I'm having pasta salad with pine nuts and olives. BRB OH on phone

Frannie - THANK YOU ! He's a real cutie :-) Gill - what's for dinner ?

.................running to check the post

Jeez Frannie - I honestly have to admit i have no idea what is even in the MB's for the past weeks (apart from the FAB but HUGE monster plushie you sent me). I bought a few MB's at the weekend but didn't get anything new. I've been watching the trading forum but since the HACK, new MB items are hard to come by. But, if I don't know about them...I can't miss them LOL

I'm gonna start a new thread....."What if we all could meet?" I guess a lot of us think abot that sometimes and what we would do / how weird it would be if we were all in the same physical space at the same time.. I have so many questions for everyone that I could never type LOL I think it will be my evening's wind down to start the thread and see what happens LOL

That sounds cool Fran. I must admit that I really admire y'all "stitching" - it's a skill I 100% do not have and quilts all look SO wonderful. Seen any good movies lately then ? I watched the Hurt Locker last weekend and I really enjoyed it, but OH thought it was quite boring.

OMG I hate TV actually. I'm totally not used to it. When I was a kid my dad was very strict on tv and I never got to watch (nor did my mum) so her and I are Radio 4 addicts. I didn't have a TV at all at Uni nor really until I got married!! Now OH LOVES TV and so we have one in practically every room. We even have a TV bed !! I wouldn't have been happy about it, but it does mean you can't see it in the room..and we only use it when the Grand Prix is in some mad time zone so it starts at 5am as we like to watch it live. The TV in our lounge it just for PS3 / gaming ..which we never have time to do LOL

Yep - it's expensive in UK and I hardly ever watch TV so we don't have it & neither does Gill

Gill - we don't have sky (OH would never leave the house) either but Sky 3 is on freeview at this time of night (Channel 11)

YAY Frannie Cool How are things ? Is Mark doing ok ? I am starved of news - please tell me everything that's been going on with you!
