Sorry no way can I wear that MTG dont forget I am 5. 9 and I am doing Gymnastics. High Jump and Relay race.
I will never move my legs in the black dress. as it is I might need a leg-up to start with. so mine will be a tracksuit. blue which is my favourite colour.

BLUE IS THE COLOUR FOOTBALL IS MY GAME .i follow chelsea have since i was 17.

So I say to you all Good Morning where ever you are.?dont over do things with this training. you could get too tired and we dont want that, we are in it to win it LOL


The sky is not that good big black clouds floating above and the rest is grey.so it looks like we are in for a grey day.

At least the ribbon has come down that blocked the new tarmac path so I wont have a long walk to get to the shops this morning.
see you later.

Rita

Morning All,

H Had visitors last night unexpectedly last night so was not able to join you all.

Now I'm in agreement with MTG ....Audrey Hepburn IS ME TO A TEA ...!!!!!!! ...Just love style ...... I 'm not wearing a tracky suit or a cat suit.......
We have to have glamour Girls & Boy.

I have a little black dress already ....the pearls I can borrow off of my sister as she is a bit pearly, I've always wanted to wear my Chanel high heals again.

MTG and I can lead the possession carrying flowers that she can get instead of flags ........sorted

Now I'm off in half an hour.....see you all when I get back taking lappy with me so might pop in ......~~~~~~~ back on Wednesday. xx

Edit ...
Just a thought ....... I could learn surfing while I'm in Cornwall that would be another event I could do .....sorted ...

Oh Quickly reading back ....I see Pauline would fancy herself as Audrey, as well......hmmm I don't think I could compete with your figure Pauline , so I may have to knock that idea on the head .........but not wearing a tracky .......LOL

Gone now ......

Hello all you Audrey Hepburns !!!!!

Thats a great idea....confuse the enemy.....then strike when they least expect it.

'How can all those dishy women hope to win anything?'

I can just hear the comments.

Then enters Team GR , and if they can ignore the sack over the head member....we will certainly sort them out.

Bobby and I will go as Sean Connery lookalikes. That will have them Ssshhaken and Sssttirred Lol

Getting ready for the lunch time Training Session.

See ya later.

Stephen

sorry girls I will have to drop out of this. I will stand and watch I

cannot wear a black dress with the things I had entered for.

but I will carry a GR flag and wave you on.

also give you a cheer if you win or lose.

Rita

I wonder which LBD to wear to the ceremony, on the shoulders, of the shoulders, scoop neck, cowel neck, backless, frontless, hmm will have to ponder on this.
My conkers are all ready, I have had them in soak in vinegar,and put them in the oven to harden them. They should be good uns, they shine and glisten oohhh luvverly job.
Have sharpened my darts points, and put new flights in.
My hula hoop lessons are going brill. I can now keep it going for 30 minutes non stop.
Of to the charity shop in a minute, to see about some pearls. Might get some ear rings if they have got some.
What time do the games start, does anyone know.

Hi everyone

can I join in the swimming and running, I used to do that in my younger days., I'm quite good on the Tranpoline too and I 'll volunteer Sue's s services in the equestrian events with me, I'm sure she wont mind.

Have a good time in Devon Marilyn

Rita,

You can't drop out....we need you.

The black dress is just for the parades.

You can wear hugging lycra for your events and receiving the medals you are going to win.

Back to training.....NOW!

Bobby McGregor can't wait to meet you all......he read of
the Oban escapade and the Ritz events. He thinks you are all fantastic.

Team GR.......OK!

Stephen

PS If you do a Google for 'Bobby McGregor, Swimmer' you will see we have a 'winner' on our team. I spent many a happy time with Bobby in our younger days, we almost lived in the local swimming pool.

I'm back from the shops, got a lovely black shift dress and some very expensive pearls. Had my hair done.........very elegant it looks too. The stilettos are a bit high but I like them because they make me look taller.

Bobby McGregor is my cousin...........probably not the same one though because he's a chef not a swimmer.

Rita, I was just going to say the same thing that Stephen said..........you don't wear the dress for your events, it's only for the bit where you march round the stadium waving the flag. After you've shown everybody how elegant you are - you change into your trackie to do the gymnastics.

Marilyn hope you have a lovely holiday, but don't forget to practice for your events.

Well it's very quiet on here they must all be out training.

Puff Puff ,Pant Pant, whew can I sit down for a few minutes, all this training is not good for me, I'm exhausted.
Can somebody PLEASE tell me when the game are, I don't want to have wasted all this effort,and miss it.
Hi Yvonne, we must all be daft putting ourselves through all this.

well i carnt were chelsea colours ill get killed by this lot in doors
sorry but thay are all west ham fans

think we will have to go non foot ball colours
how about red white and blue england colours
i think that would go down much better

or pink and black tracky would look nice and stephen can just have black if he dont want to have the pink

and a GR greast on the right breast side

rita you have to join in you carnt leve me on me own
doing gymnastices who am i going to to a balance on me jack jones

9 days to go Mo......... when you sit down for a break, you're supposed to eat a banana - not a cream cake.........behave yourself.

Shelly, I'm sure Rita will come back when she realizes she doesn't have to do cartwheels in a dress.

Thanks for that Pauline, I thought we may have been holding our games on a different date.
I like the sound of pink and black tracksuits Shelly.
Was I supposed to eat that banana Pauline, oh oops,oh well never mind it's gone now. But I did enjoy the fresh cream doughnut, but don't tell Stephen I ate it will you.
I needed to get my energy levels up, and the sugar rush was great.

Madeleine, it doesn't sound right calling you that, I have got so used to you being called MTG, but if you insist thats what I will call you.
Don't wear the sack on your head all the time, we have got to show Stephen and the crowds just how glam we can all look,before we start, and make right prats of ourselves.

Pauline, Stephen is getting of lightly, he is only entered for two events, I think he should take the places in the reserves, so that we have got enough competitors.
