Back to old home town

Over the weekend will be away, again. This weekend I am off back to my old home town, husband and I are going tomorrow afternoon and will be staying in a hotel where my sister works at a place called knights hill.
The purpose of this weekend, is to say a final farewell to my niece who sadly died end of May at the age on 26yrs, we are scattering half of her ashes on Saturday, the remainder will be bought back home and be scattered into the sea with the dolphins, they swim by this time of the year, and she really loved them, so it seems appropiate.
Will be back Sun evening my get a chance to have a small blog update, might be too tired.

Great party

Just a quick update on the weekend. The party was really lovely we sat outside, drinking and eating. It was in aid of a fortieth birthday, there was a hog roast, dancing and general frivolities. There were some very young girls there who initially were having a great time, and needless to say off their faces (drunk) very early on. (aaahhhh memories, halcyon days )
Anyway moving on, nothing really eventful happened it was just a nice pleasant weekend. My husbands family in Gloucester are all cricket mad. Two of the younger members actually plays cricket for the county under 13yrs and under 15yrs respectively. The dads coach and the rest go and watch, and help make the teas. It brings it all back watching the cricket that is......ah me memories........am drifting off now.....

Off to a garden party

Husband, I and mother in law are off to a garden party tomorrow up in Gloucester. We are leaving early in the morning and staying the night at husbands sisters, which is always good, she is lovely, I get a lie in and breakfast cooked for me, yummy.
The downside, is it is husbands family, which is a big family so there is quite a lot of bitching. This usually means we have to try to juggle meals with different people so as not to put anyone's backs up.
Mother-In-Law(MIL) usually stays with one sister and husband and I stay with the other one. MIL doesn't really want to go, but I am making her, I think she will enjoy seeing all the family together, which she doesn't see often. At 85yrs MIL is really good for her age, but she likes the comfort of home, so getting her to go anywhere is a real achievement.
Will keep you all posted on the events that occur over the weekend, watch this space!!.

Virus Warning

There is a dangerous virus being passed electronically, orally and by hand. This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK).
If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest bar. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE) or
Bothersome-Employer-Eliminator-Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

You should give this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5 friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

Fact of the Day

It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria found in faeces.

In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of Poo. However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine (or rum, whiskey, beer or other liquors) because alcohol has to go through a distillation process of boiling, filtering and fermenting.

WATER = Poo
WINE = HEALTH
Free yourself of Poo, drink WINE!!! It is better to drink wine and talk s**t than to drink water and be full of s**t.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information, I am off to the pub.

A loaf of bread!!

Around 6.30pm last night husband asks if I want to go out for a walk round our little town and get something to eat too, and also a loaf of bread as we have run out (coop open until 10pm) it being a lovely evening I agree.
First stop the back beach where there is a nice pub looking down the river over the little fishing boats, gorgeous. (see above)
We move on to find a place to eat, upon approaching one of our favourite places, a gentleman that husband knows comes out and says it is really hot and roasting inside, they look really busy too, so we decide not to go in. We stand chatting for a few mins, so we decide as it is so hot we will get a takeaway cantonese, and walk home and eat it, getting the bread on the way back.
Before we have a chance to do this, someone else walks down the street going to a pub, which I know my step sister drinks in, so I casually ask if she is in there, yes is the answer.
Well a slippy slope follows hastens to add we did not get the cantonese or the bread, and got home around 12.00 midnight.
I am never going out for bread again !!!.

Birthday and a win

It hardly seems a week has passed again, the time seems to being going incredibly quickly. This week was husbands birthday on Tuesday, as he wanted to spend the evening with his children. We went out on Monday night, to the next town for a meal and a few drinks. On the way back we met some friends and got roped into a pub quiz.
Tuesday night we went to my stepsons house for a family takeaway, grandson (2yrs) beat up my husband (grandad) it was great.
Wednesday night it was darts night again this week we surprised ourselves with the first win of the season (3-2). The guy from last week turned up a bit late, he tried to avoid talking to me, however, I was one never to be ignored tried to talk to him, but what I said he took the wrong way and twisted it into what he wanted to hear so I gave up and didn't bother.
Thursday I actually managed a night in !!!!!!
Which brings on Friday am I going out, I haven't decided yet, as I am typing this the answer is No, cos I am tired, my hours of work have changed and I now work 8am-4pm, this means getting up at 6.30am everyday. The night is yet young yet though, and I am working tomorrow, but not going to be there until 10.00am (a lie in, whoopee)
Enough of my waffling byee

Hanging

I woke up this morning feeling a bit delicate (yes again, and no I am not a raving alcoholic. Yet !!)
I didn't go out until 9.30pm, so late so that I didn't wake up feeling delicate. I meet husband at the Royal British Legion (where he likes to drink) he had gone out early, I had one in there with him, and suggested we go to our favourite local The Kings arms.
We went down there for a quiet drink, saw a few people we knew, then before we know it, it midnight and they are shutting, well almost, I think we managed to stagger out at around 1-1.30am this morning.
I know I made sandwiches when I got home, as I remember eating them funny shaped, obviously it was how I had cut them.
The highlight of the evening was I won some juggling balls now I have two lots, its a promotion when you buy a pint you get scratch card, and I won the first lot last week.
Now I will have to practice juggling balls - oh er missus :), any takers ?

Men !!

As many of you know, Wednesday nights out if my darts night (mid week p*** up). This week we had no game but all the team went out anyway. I was chatting to a guy in our team, he only joined a few months ago. We were talking about relationships, marriages.
He is deeply unhappy, his marriage had just broken up (3rd one) he's got two kids a 1yr old and a 6 yr old. I was telling him about my husband, about my good marriage and various other trials and tribulations of life.
The pub closes and as he has to walk past my house, I tell him he can walk me home.
I get to my door, and go and give him a peck on the cheek, to thank him for walking me home, he grabs me and sticks his tongue down my throat !!!.
Hello are you stupid !! I had just ten minutes or so before been telling him how good my marriage was, so why did he feel the need to try it on ?
I went in and immediately told my husband, who needless to say was not impressed.
Whilst I was shocked, secretly I am extremely flattered, and it has done my ego no end of good.
It just proves I've still got it and it is a myth that blonds have all the fun !

CANNIBALS

A large corporation recently hired several cannibals."You are all part of our team now", said the HR rep during the welcoming briefing. "You get all the usual benefits and you can go to the cafeteria for something to eat, but please don't eat any of our employees."

The cannibals promised they would not. Four weeks later their boss remarked, "You're all working very hard and I'm satisfied with your work. However, one of our secretaries has disappeared. Do any of you know what happened to her?"

The cannibals all shook their heads "No."After the boss had left, the leader of the cannibals said to the others,"Which one of you idiots ate the secretary?"A hand rose hesitantly.

"You fool!" the leader continued. "For four weeks we've been eating managers and no one noticed anything. But NOOOooo, you had to go and eat someone who actually does something

Good news

Everyone, will be glad to know, my step-dad came out of hospital yesterday evening, the doctors advised that he has an inflamed stomach, caused by the tablets he takes. What have they given him for it, more tablets !!!!.
At least he is on the mend, we all had quite a scare there for a minute or two.
We all celebrated last night, at the local hostelries I don't know what time we got home as someone opened their house for a party afterwards. (she delicately types, trying not to make to much noise as it hurts.)
