Re: International Army February 2020

[MENTION=24080]Jude58[/MENTION]............I've got a sweatshirt that colour...........needless to say I've worn it maybe twice. All offers gladly received, would make lovely dusters.

Don't have to Buddy proof the house until tomorrow as they're not arriving 'til late on. He's got his kids from a previous relationship all day. Jenny is being gradually introduced to them. Jenny's the first woman he's introduced to them since him and his ex split up about four years ago............all exciting stuff.
Of course, me being nosy would love to know why they split but she sounds like a nightmare.

I'd never have made a nurse. I'm too impatient.

Watch yourself out there with Darren. He's a wild one. Its fecking awful up here but so grateful the Pennines are in the way to take the slack. Lord knows what it must be like in the West.

Buddy's and his retinue are expected at 7:30pm.

I thought it was Dennis! then menace.
Im nosey too about the ex now

Dont normally get sick, but Ive had the oddest of dose's. Hot, cold, dizzy, dry mouth and every muscle aches, not sick enough to stay at home, but it was always there, weird. Feeling much better today. Maybe its natures reminder of life with hangovers!

Re: International Army February 2020

Good morning everyone. One of the ladies in crochet had something very similar Mary, some kind of weird virus and yea it is Dennis we are expecting. Had lovely meal out last night and stuck to the healthy options but was still delicious. I have no puppy this weekend and the place seems so quiet. Good luck with Buddy JC. Going to get bit of a hike in with hubby before it gets too bad.

Re: International Army February 2020

If I felt for one SECOND that they had the brains to feel like frauds I wouldn't feel so hard done by and put upon... and you have LITERALLY put it in a nutshell -- laziness and entitlement -- so true -- and yes -- I could be accused of the same thing (allowing myself to fall into the jolly old mumsie role) -- and then I wonder is it my own lack of self confidence that lets me be seen as such.... I hate being wrong and I hate feeling foolish - so being somewhat non-entity-ish I don't leave myself open to anything... and then I wonder is my lack of self confidence down to age or down to the years of feeling less than others because of the hidden drinking.... oh where am I going with that -- I'm just babbling rather than get up and go to bed!!!! Work tomorrow!

I think your babbling makes a good point. Honestly, I think it took me nearly 4 years to get my mojo back. I didnt even realise it was gone, or that I had some to start with. Not that Im Mrs confident now, but Im not so hard on myself.
I see all sorts of graduates coming in too. Some are normal and very grateful for the help, others are entitled ejits. But they are generally looking for help if they need something from IT, so we let them sweat. The 2 guys beside me are 60 and 61 and between them its like sitting in the middle of Google.

Re: International Army February 2020

Dennis just arrived on the Costa del Mersey via the Irish Sea. Hope you got your walk/hike done Rustop before the wind.
Hope you are feeling better Mary funny viral bugs around at the moment.
Hiya to everyone else
Looking forward to being wrapped up warm and reading a new book!

FFS I thought it was Darren...........Darren could be his middle name

That's exactly what I've been like this past week. Tbh its the way I felt like when I was pregnant.........I always longed from proper morning sickness and just felt like death warmed up for four months.

House no Buddy proofed as far as we can...........he'll find something. Trouble is he's so cute and so proud when he brings you half a shoe, or a bit of t-towel its hard to cross.

Oh and The Last Tudor after a slowish and rather wordy start has picked up in pace.

Re: International Army February 2020

Re: International Army February 2020

Jenny & Ads and the beast are having a wild ride from York. Raining stair rods and the winds blowing so hard the windscreen wipers are struggling............needless to say my heart's in my mouth.

Awful news about Caroline Flack........Caroline Flack: TV presenter dies at 4 - BBC News

I'll see you on the morrow.

Amazing isn't it? Drinking smashes our self esteem even for years after we've stopped doing it.
There was always something to feel guilty about and half the time I couldn't even remember what it was. So I just took the blame for everything to save time!

Re: International Army February 2020

Why haven't you got a puppy to love this weekend Rustop? Where's he gone the golden labby cross?

Sending some chicken soup and a nice book and cashmere throw for Mary.

Could n't work out who Dennis was :welldone:

Re: International Army February 2020

Night all. Daughter gone to boyfriend’s place for weekend Bridget so she brought him with her. Dennis not too bad yet. Did 20km hike with hubby in the rain so absolutely wrecked. Huge fire and feet up, watching Godfather of Harlem. Was glad to see that Australia got some rain last week, badly needed. Off on half day cookery course tomorrow. Xmas present from daughter, looking forward to it.
