I dunno really. I just like a soft Scottish accent. Not a harsh Glaswegian one that I cannae understand.

My OH's parents came from Sunderland, and he has a slight lift to his voice too.

So, are we all up for the Savoy next week. You know I scrub up pretty well. I have had my hair cut recently, and have a dress I can wear. Will need to fish out a pair of heels, I wear flats at work. But I can be ready at a drop of a hat. Or a thong.
lol

At the moment I already have great BIG PAWS on my shoulder which makes typing a bit difficult but I dont have the heart to push her off.. (Her is a big black greyhound, 3 years old but with a puppy brain)!!
MotownNoelGal everyone just calls me Cath.-well sometimes other things which I wont repeat-.
Rita next time you have a trip to Guernsey let me know, I could show you the sights such as they are.

Cath xx Pass on Fluffy Paws..........

I have 2 Sundays at work. I don't normally work on a Sunday but the extra money is welcome, I work for a large toy store and i'm glad I don't work there every weekend, loads of screaming kids!!!

mind you I look after 30 kids at lunchtimes, most of them are lovely but theres a little group of boys who are little horrors

Cath your dog sounds lovely, have you had her from a puppy?

Mrs Stephen is preparing to go out on her Voluntary Work just now.

She does a 'nightshift' every fourth week......11pm to 5am.

This time of year means she is usually busy with folks problems

I get up when she comes in at around 5.30am so that she has a good
sleep.

She's my wee angel and I love her to bits.

Yvonne, we got her 14 months ago from a greyhound rescue kennels. She is absolutely adorable, loving, affectionate and crazy. Great with the grandchildren as well, we couldn't be without her now. Have had dogs in past but had a break while our children were growing up as couldn't devote enough time to a dog as well. I'm so glad we decided to get another but she is the first greyhound we've had, I'm certain she won't be the last.

Claridges is a bit stuffy. I saw a docu about the new Savoy. All new fixtures and fittings. Plus it is right on the Thames, we can organise a barge to come up, and put on a firework display. Just for us. Wheeeee.

Sorry, Cath it is.

I am only in for 3 hours tomorrow. So it will be a breeze.

How sweet Stephen to call your lady wife an angel. Aaaah bless. Its lovely.

Conundrum - what is the difference between eating the inside of a dead rabbit and not being forgiven for wearing it's fur?

Goodnight Cath, speak to you tomorrow.

Stephen don't forget, you promised us a sleigh ride before Christmas. I was looking forward to it. But I don't mind Claridges, if you are paying again. If not we will have to go out carol singing, they will give us money to go away.

Going to go now folks, nearly time for bed. Night god bless all. Luv Mo xxx

Reminder - last person on here tonight, remember to switch off the lights for goodness sake. Money does not grow on trees - not even for Politicians or Jersey tax exiles.

Someone left them all on last night. No wonder we have global warming - except for the last week of course.
