    Friday the 9th...poets day...

    mornin all ..and how are we today then,now that the weekend is on us...hope yours is better than mine is going to be...already started blowing a gale outside and this weekend it is forecast for 120mph winds..thats me wig gone then!!!quite a few posts on here yesterday..Ive started bimbling about the other threads just to see whats going on ..as I see some of you have too.....interesting in some cases to say the least!! by the way Im here to collect me 423 mill dollars... as pauly recommends, but if you have a whip round I ll settle for a coupla mill :yay:

    ok lets get on then tea and coffe on the go....need to get some shopping our Amy coming down for the weekend!!

    hiya Lav...and hows you today then?ok...I painted that border in the kitchen that I need to tile ..looks much better...heres a pic of the tiles Im after ..they are multi colored rough unglazed....see you were tripping about the boards too what plans for today ..or as it comes...keep seeing thomas the tank stuff in the shops ..and was thinking about getting some for you ..but tbh you can probably get the same over your way..plus the postage is insane!!..but if there is ever anything you want me to keep my eye out for let me know....right brew time!!

    hiya cinders ...yoohoo ..thanks for jumping in.....glad things are good for you ..best to all

    hiya ppqp...finished procrastinatin? hows things with you then today....apart from poetry...was wonderin what a dick looked like!!!been called it often enough

    hi pie ,bye pie..now say that fast!!hows you today then? all good? any weekend planning on the go?any more diy on the way?so how did you help the dog?was it lost..needed to catch a bus?no money?

    hiya pauly...how are you today then?feelin any better?saw you postin around the gaff too....again some interesting as well as disrespectful comments!!yep can honestly say I had an "interesting" 25 years in the prison service..started off as a prison officer (your speak guard) and ended up as Governor (your speak warden/superintendant?)..as an officer you deal with prisoners....as a gov you deal with prisoners ,staff associated staff,outside agencies,auditors (on just about everything)all sorts.so you can easily lose touch..I made a conscious effort to get round the jail daily..a .because I enjoyed it and b would rather talk to the staff and cons rather than some of the muppets I was forced to..Im sure if you talk to SL and the likes its the same..so there you go..suitably bored now??yep weve got a nice wee fred going here...and you my dear are a big part of it..as for looking at the big numbers ..I used to do that too...but when you think of it ..it is only 200/300 of what we did yesterday.....you doing anything weekend?

    hiya SL....Hows the world for you today then?ok?yaaaay another day closer to the weekend...good article that and made interesting reading..but would put a couple of caveats in..they make day 66 like holy grail day.. I think if you are going to make a specific day or length of time your target then you need to put an achieved reward with it..holiday ,show ..whatever..reason Im saying that is..how many people got to day whatever 30 for example ,,thought they had done brill and to be fair they had,but then thinking shit ..is that?no bands people cheering flag wavin etc..I know I certainly did...and the other thing it doesnt mention is complacency..day 66 +.. out with your friends .."go on have a drink"...thinks..yeh no probs just proved I can quit..you dont rule me Mr booze....and then......

    hiya tt hows you then ?feeling ok then?reading your post ..yes its so easy to become a keyboard warrior,its just tap the keys click and its gone..or if you are like me its literally gone!!...its very much harder to front someone up and discuss the issues, but I think it provides a lot healthier debate,plus its easier to talk then write .how many times have you been in e-mail discussion going on and on until you get to that famous website...cant be arsed.com and thats it end ..

    hiya Sam....hows you wherever you are today......


    righty ho folks offski ...have a great weekend one n all.....

    My blonde wife called me at work and said she can't find her glasses, so I told her to use her contacts.

    She rang me back an hour later to say she had called everyone in her phone and none of them knew where they were either.

    Happy Birthday Elvis, Born 80 years ago today

    If he was still alive he'd probably be dead by now.

    Just got the worse case of déjà vu, until I realised it was because I just refreshed the page.

    What's pink and hard?

    A pig with a flick knife!

    If I got £1 for every time I looked at the negative side of things,

    I'd have way too many f.cking taxes to pay.

    Patient: "Doctor, I don't know what's wrong with me".

    Doctor: "Take these pills, I don't know what they're for".

    As me and the wife headed off on a romantic holiday we talked about what kinky things we'd like to do to each other.

    She said, "I've always wanted to be handcuffed."

    So I planted a kilo of coke in her suitcase.

    I went to the best fortune-teller in Manchester and she gave me an envelope to open on the next rainy day.

    Then it came and I read

    "It's raining today."

    Some homeless guy stopped me in the street yesterday and asked " 'ave you got ten pence for a cup of tea guv?" so I said " yes here's twenty, get me one too

    Ahoy, Mick! Seems I've tripped an electrical breaker trying to stay warm in this cold and now rain. Would you mind going outside to reset the thing for me? My hair will be a mess without the use of my blow dryer.

    Back in a bit...

      Good morning Abbers & Happy Friday

      Looking forward to the temp rising up to the freezing mark today, ha ha! This extreme cold is not nice!!!

      Mick, 120 mph winds? You'd better get yourself & your bunnies to a safe spot, geez!!!
      I never did get that pic of my kitchen tiles yesterday, I'll get it today. Mine are rough, unglazed as well & honestly look as good as new (they will be 12 years old this summer).
      I don't spend a lot of time reading around MWO anymore. I like sticking to familiar threads & avoiding the angst created by the few. 'Keyboard warriors' is a good term for those few individuals. I'm sure they wouldn't have the gonads to make those inflammatory remarks in person

      Got Curves on the mind then an afternoon in my shop. Need to get my business sales & use tax filed for the Commonwealth. Don't want them going broke on my account, LOL
      Greetings to TT, SL, PQ, Sam, Pie, Det & Pauly. Wishing everyone a wonderful AF Friday! Make it a good day

      Edit to say be careful out there Pie!!!

          Morning from frozen -26C land, it's still dark ot at 8:05 am. Yuk!
          I'm with you on his cold weather Lav.

          Nice tiles 'Mick! I have marble tiles with a vertical line of stones every 12" or so., they are pretty nice I think.

          Pie, I bet your hair looks marvellous

          Another sober weekend here. I am going to the Market this am- indoor market of course!

          So happy to be sober.

Hello to all and I hope everyone has aproductive Friday

              Hi all - Pie, you made me smile - no hair drier!!! I have straightened my mop for longer than i have been drinking, and am choosing to embrace my curls - trying to work out how to make curls and not frizz just now! It is so good to not be beholden to my drier any more....
              TGIF! Off to get the mop trimmed and another lesson in curls vs frizz this morning - then catch up on work and start of kids taxi service for weekend! (trying to channel the Carole King look!!)
              Did look at the thread, but really am staying in my two homes here on MWO and not venturing out - the waters are not warm and gentle....
              Have a fabulous day you lovely people! So happy to be sober today (and everyday!)

                Electricity and hair all squared away. SL, I love Carole King's music, and her look. Hope you achieve what you're going for.

                Hi Lav and Pauly!

                Mick, your tile selection looks brilliant to pull together colors from your cabinets, worktops, and walls!

                Narilly, I went with marble back splash tiles as well. All neutral colors in the kitchen 'cept for turquoise blender and purple tea kettle!

                  MAE ALL....

                  Checking in from a very quiet, boring work place. Will be glad to see the end of the day.
                  No special plans this weekend other than getting down to see my Dad.

                  Ooops boss just walked in...gotta go.

                    This is the lady with naturally (haha) straight hair checking in. It's also always been ultra fine. So I love hair dressers who can cut like magic pixies.
                    I spent the 1980s not only in a drunken haze but also with very bad perms. Let's not even get into the blue eyeshadow!

                        Likewise the drunken haze in the 80s I guess too! I still have a few strands of hair left - combing and gentle blow drying is now important but mostly I keep it short. And yes, quitting AL gets a look in here too - I can wear my hair very short as I don't have as many jowls and a puffy face as when I was drinking a few years ago! Wrinkles - another story…...

                          Ah the 80's,if you didn't have a perm on top of a perm with big bangs(fringe across the pond) you were out! Guys too,miss my hair bands we'll we did make it to the 99 cent store,spent 45 bucks(don't ask) to the grocery store for decaf,Jack in the box,taco bell,picked up Brady now Louie's napping, lucky kid,Pie,kitchen is lovely, and I'm jealous of the teal blender! I did get a red crock pot for Christmas though

                            OK - well, i feel as if I have had my finger stuck in an electric socket - lots of curls (the girls nickname for me of poodle is appropriate) - I need to find a happy medium! Some vague similarities to Carole Kings hair, tried singing but no similarities there:eek-new: TT - I love pixie cuts, but when I tried that I looked like a really naughty pixie with sticking up bits everywhere!
                            PIE - I love your kitchen - I really need a new one so badly and you & Mick have got me going again - just have to decide what is first - Kitchen, bathrooms (both) windows or garden!!!
                            Waiting for the text to say that the run-about is ready to begin - need to squeeze a bank run and a car wash in too.....

                              evening all
                              just got in not long ago. Damn trees feel down on a bunch of fence I have up in the woods. Patch work till I can get in there and redo. Might have to be next winter's project. Funds are getting scarce.

                              Got into watching a story on Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac when they first started, interesting but sad story.

                              Hope all are doing well, tired here, so going to grab some grub and call it a day.
