hello Queen i love halloumi and havent had any for ages yum yum yum
sorry… this is a down market establishment… quueeenie - how are youuuuuuu???
hmmm…it’s after 9 pm i may go sleep soon…
i have just realised… i smell - that is why the bar is empty- i go hide
I don’t know I come here for a stiff drink after a domestic, and have no one to moan to - -its not on !!
Oh well I have left a fresh fruit salad in the fridge for any one who comes in with the munchies and a jug of freshly squeezed orange.

aww Mary - so sorry to hear you are having domestics - I presume in the plural as, like me, you spend some time in here! I’m just escaping housework, spining, sewing etc, but it sounds like you are having a virtual fun time in here! We haven’t had a stripper in here for ages!
Ladies - may I present you to “The” Queen…aka Gillian. I’ve met her just once, but am sure she will be right at home here - as soon as she realises she only has to read the page she’s joined us on - we’ll fill her in again on any stuff she’s missed! I do hope she’ll be able to join us at the Lakes - I’m sure she’ll have a lot of fun to contribute to the weekend, so make her very welcome ladies plz!
Jen - asked OH if he’d like to come to Lakes - immediate answer - NO. However, as you said, I’ve asked him, and I now have his permission, nay even blessing, to go down south and have a damn good time for the weekend…LIKE I EVEN ASKED HIM!!! I just TOLD him! Anyway - still nice to have his blessing.
Anybody want a pineapple tart? No? Just me? Good - oh, coz there’s only one in this pack! Apologies if I spill shortbread pastry on the bar floor! Mary - fruit salad and freshly squeezed OJ? Far too healthy an option for me - just gimme half a chunk of fresh pineapple so I can taste this drink (tea!) and tart! oooeeerrr!
Morning all… yummy fruit salad!!
sorry we weren’t there to hear about the domestic - lol you should have told us anyway Mary!!
I had a very nice sleep and feel all perky this morning will ring the YHA today and make a provisional booking for 14 people from friday 8 may to sunday 10 may.
we need to firm up numbers so peopel who know each other email/talk to each other…
well i need to pick up the pick axe now… heigh ho heigh ho…
Jen xx
Don’t drop that on your toes Jen…we need to you to organise this thing!
Perky? Where’s Pinky? I feel terrible - woken up after another 2 hours kip by my alarm, to get HIM up and into shower and get himself ready to take HIS car to the garage for service/mot…you guys spotting a theme - his car is sweet FA to do with me!!! And I was up half the night again - but the laundry pile looking very very good. Have noticed that the linen cupboard needs sorted out and so does the bureau in the hall. There’s stuff that’s not linen in the linen cupboard - and all sorts of cr*p in the bureau…hmmmm. How long will steroid buzz last this afternoon?
Mary my love - tell us all about it. See on FB you are “FURIOUS”. Wassup girl? As long as whatever it is isn’t stopping you coming to the Lakes we’ll listen. If it’s stopping you coming to the Lakes - I’ll come and kill it!
Morning Westie - If jen is perky - and feeling Pinky - Its the first I’ve heard about it!
The girl is all alone in W. Mids and obviously getting bored with all this rads stuff.
Hey Ho Hey Ho and all that…

hi JB
how are you holding up?
Afternoon all - how’s it going?
guess busy…
GD is about to get up…we had a busy day yesterday…so she is sleeping in.
Son off to conference, OH off to work
it is blissfully quiet
planning easy day with GD today; take her about and stop in at the DQ for an ice cream and prob to a store for toys
other than that, saved lots of activities for today
home alone with GM…nice!!!
have a great day today folks
I will check FB later for events of lakes…hostel sounds practical but not sure I can deal with dorm living at this stage
perhaps it is better than the pictures … are there options for a more private room???

I think you can get a twin room. OI - If I can stay in a shed that was little more than a tent for FOUR days, sharing an open roof with a bunch of drunken, coarse young farmers who kept me up all night with their fantastical love stories (some of that stuff definitely not possible in real life), and still attend to my livestock etc at an agricultural show - you can do a dorm with civilised human beings…even us!!! lol Wuss!
Have checked it out - 10 rooms available with 2 beds, and we are booking plenty time in advance!
Hi Emily
Watching Olympics with JBsDad cos weather is so rubbish.
Dorm living is not so bad - but there are 2 pers rooms at Ambleside YHA - or so I believe.
I’m sure we can work something out to everyones satisfaction.
Am rustling up a bit of lunch now- chat later,
Gareth

olympics - scmolympics - will be doing my best to avoid all that twaddle - I ain’t one of th3 £15eillion who will watch it, if I can help it!
Just cos sheep elasticating isn’t ratified as an Olympic event yet!
Your time will come!

just popping in to say hi from ages back… i have been rubbish at keeping up with the site… i think i kind of went through a ‘yippee i’m done with the worst of the treatment’ phase and wanted to distance myself from the site and everything cancer related, however, herceptin worries have brought me back!
just wanted to say to you all that it’s great to see you’re all doing so well and that the dew drop inn is still going strong.
take care, love carrie xx
