Standing outside the dark, dark woods.

Bye Kate…it’s been lovely knowing you…I said goodbye and came back within a day or so…couldn’t tear myself away from the madness that is the Woods…keep telling myself I should and then keep sneaking back…some threads I just lurk and others I join in…Caroline…it is all doable…just take it one day at a time…more choccie and booze on a school night??..yes please…

Hi all, please accept an ice cold glass of Baileys from the bar.

regards

Thanks Carline60 much obliged. Am I a bit early ? Just thought I’d drop in for a bit of company as that gremlin What If has been hanging round all day.

Is anyone around? It’s gone very quiet - is it something I said … .

Hiya tuppence…there’s going to be a panto in benchland…everyone will probs be posting there…the thread is called…stop feeling guilty, small rant. Benchland…if you want a chat with anyone… post on there…sometimes the woods go a bit quiet…it’s a virtual panto…if you read a bit of the thread a few pages back…it makes sense…well…sort of!!!

Hello all, went to meet some of my colleagues from 'life before BC, last night. Had 2 real glasses of wine last night. Didn’t sit as well as the virtual ones. Spring cleaning my turquoise tent and hoisting the flag higher as per Cackles recommendations. As its very cold I am installing a hot tub with built in Twiglet holders and chocolate fountain. Figure I can get out of the tub, put on my zebra print onesie and UGG boots, pull on my wig and sashay over to the JM for the evening.
do you think this would be a good look?
by the way, tub seats eight so all welcome, bring your own onesie!
have a good day all

Hi Kay,
This is very much the look for Woodies this season. Others may scorn my UGGs - apparently they are a powerful contraceptive as all men seem to hate them - but having just tottered out of a real world hot tub. I did swim first honestly!!! First stages of fitness training for our Life Climb up Snowdon next June… I probably can’t promote it on here via the link but it if for cancer charities and Just Giving Kazza’s Crazy Climbers will show you what I am talking about. Think I am going to be needing a good deal of fitness training, anyone care to supervise aerobics in the woods? Or zumba maybe?
A onesie… I haven’t quite ventured that far and may get some odd looks at work in NEDland if I venture in where a zebra or indeed any other onesie (I did see a rather fetching Elvis onesie the other day, otherwise some form of cat would be about right for me) :slight_smile:
So, I’ll join you in the JM for a few virtual snifters. Purely to keep the cold out you understand xx

Mary Grace, you are obviously a connoisseur of fine fashion (like myself).
see you in the bar…

err… what’s a onesie? Too busy in NEDLAND to keep up with Wodland fashion!

It did go quiet - sorry - we had friends staying (and my OH says I can’t abandon them to go online!!!)

bacon butties again in the JM this morning, and steaming coffee/chocolate…

thermal whatsits and plenty of “exercise” for Mary Grace… the rest of us will wander towards the tent with the warm pool and chocolate!..

humms carols quietly…

see you later ladies…

I’ll be right there for a bacon buttie - I’ll have a mug of tea with mine (need lots of tea first thing in morning to get me moving) A onesie is a bit like an adult size babygro. But doesn’t have poppers right down to the feet! Talking of feet I must get some Ugg boots - apparently they are correct foot wear with onesie.

Ooh a bacon buttie and a mug of tea, what a perfect breakfast. Be there as soon as I can work out how to do my onesie up!
have a good day all

ok… dippy one here… how EXACTLY do you go to the loo in a onesie???

GIJH I imagine it’s as complicated as those ‘bodies’ we used to wear with a popper crotch - (similar to a baby’s vest for those of us old enough to remember!) but you have to take the whole top half off as well. Bit chilly?! Possibly don’t need to be such a contortionist though. How many women put their backs out or cricked their necks trying to fertle the back flap of a body from half way up their back, through their legs, whilst looking up their own ‘credentials’??

The nearest I’ve got (or ever will have) to a onesie is OH’s paint-besplattered overalls. Not quite the same effect? To be worn with ‘sensible’ boots rather than UGG(ly) ones! :slight_smile:

Happy Birthday for yesterday, shawshank - and wishing you a MUCH happier one next year - I expect you’ll appreciate birthdays a lot more from now on?! I know I will, and I ‘only’ had my 4th (of 15) rads on my birthday, back in April.

Many happy returns for yeaterday Shawshank, Keep my fingers crossed the cold cap works for you, hopefully your se’s wont get any worse and you will ‘sail’ through the rest of your treatment xxx
JCJ, your description of doing up a body had me laughing out loud, brought back vivid memories, and glad I’m not the only one who calls them UGG(ly)s , second only in the UGG(ly) stakes to Crocs (belong in the Benchland lake with the Alligators). - and I DONT CARE HOW COMFY THEY ARE - they are the ugliest footware ever.

Ah wearing a body, remember It well. I had one once which was a tad too short and there was severe danger of it Pinging unpopped. Remember seeing women come back from the loo in various severe states of disarray with their underwear very mucH on display.
Almost as good as when when my kids were younger and I was out shopping with them. Saw a woman wearing a pretty summer dress but her daughter - about five - had the backof it hoisted right up so her thOng was fully on display to the watching world. I went up to say “excuse me there’s something you should know” and she gave me a dirty look, ignored me completely and continued on her way. Oh well :smiley: :smiley:
onesies are much safer (though probably about as bad as trying to go to the loo wearing a one piece ski suit, which I recall involving contortions of a type my aching joints can only dream of these days)

Anyone for a drink in the JM? xx

Hi all, I’ll have a Baileys latte if we’re ordering

Onesie ladies… SheWee… Nuff said!

All H I gave up trying to get the hang of the SheWee - had so many accidents with it! I would be better off with a catheter! Perhaps thats what astronauts do . . . . Their space suits are like onesies. I’m off to catch a sleep fairy now. Night all.
