Evening all, and welcome ButtercupFields. Maz keeps telling us her Frog won't turn into a Prince, but has she now let slip otherwise?? :D Hope you like the colours Red and White cos LG keeps decorating in that colour :-(

Although Meccano was around in my childhood, being of the female persuasion, gifts were more likely to be dolls and toy sewing machines - lol However, at OH's insistence, BM was given some one Christmas, which OH and his father at once started to play with. BM still has an occasional moan. I think that's what stopped him following his genes and becoming an engineer!

Best to remove everything breakable if you think LG is going to get into a strop :-)

Hi BC and welcome to the madhouse :D.

Oooooooooooo perhaps I will buy a new outfit and fascinator while we are in BB :D :D :D

In a strop Moi ?????? never :-( :P Throws large bowl of stale mole stew at YG >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> :-(

That stew was green and mouldy LG!! All over my flippin' clean windows!!

You have confused me now. Do you mean PB, or are you going somewhere that I don't know about?? If you mean PB, we could all get our outfits and rig Maz up too!!

Still haven't done my ironing. Been playing games!!! Must do it or won't be able to climb in bed tonight!!

peeps in lol so you have been spying on me then been busy sorting my PC corner out today Froggy helped me so kitty cant knock the router over He lokes the wires .
Froggy will become a prince but not yet lol I am enjoying myself lol .My daughter is nagging me too .Hi BC and welcome the decor is lovely over here look out for lazers and broomsticks lol

Whooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! ;-) <3

Well we could have BB in PB LOL. Yes I am not perfect you will be surprised to learn I do make typos :P :P :P

Come on Maz get a move on I am getting impatient with all this waiting for the big event ;-)

A summer event please. I don't like the cold lol!!

Same here YG. Nice winter outfits are quite hard to find and the wind plays havoc with hair and fascinators LOL

I'm the Killer Queen,
Gelignite and Gelatine,
Dynamite with my laser beam

Taking my rightful place on the throne, nite nite all, sleep well <3

Oh no you're not!! Budge up and make room for me too!!

Nite nite ;-) <3

Come on YG WAKE UP LOL. Oh well seeing as she is still snoozing....
(gives gentle nudge and slides her to the floor) :-)

Good grief! LG has appeared before Maz this morning!!!! Someone didn't get their 8 hours and will be having a Nanny Nap later today - lol Mind you, I nodded off in the armchair last night, so can't talk. All these early morning are taking their toll :O

Had a few spots of rain yesterday, but that was it - a few spots. Didn't even lay the dust. So youse oop norf, send some down perleease.

morning all LG you were early lol i have been a buzzy bee here chores i washed a lineful on friday night i have 7 tops from andrew out on the line as well as 4 pairs of jeans lol

I have been awake since about 3 this morning. I don't know what woke me but I could no way get back to sleep. :-(

Many thanks for the warm welcome. What a nice crowd of Nutters you all are :D :D BC XX

Good morning, whoops sorry, good afternoon Nutters!!

No, I haven't just woken up!! LG, stop shouting in a morning!!!!

Been a busy girl, so have a late breakfast and then off to prepare dinner for tonight.

I think LG will definitely cat napping after such an early start. Am just getting the kettle drums out ready lol!

ButtercupFields, we're not a bad lot! Just have a warped way of thinking, especially when LG starts on about magic mushrooms, mole stew and flying omelettes!! We haven't heard much about the supercharged broomstick lately, perhaps it's in for it's annual service!

Oh dearie me Auntie is kna****ed!!

And we thought with the renovations over Auntie would be a LOL, and that stands for Lady of Leisure.

It's the garden of the rental that's what the problem is. Now hopefully you lot know what a Hills Rotary Clothesline is. If you do not then imagine a merry-go-round. You hang your clothes on it to dry in the warm Australian sunshine. You do understand sunshine don't you??? My team won too YG, isn't it exciting.

Well the rental has a Hills hoist clothes line completely over grown with grape vines. There I go again, assuming you lot know what grape vines can do to a hills hoist.

Anyway Auntie spent most of her day of rest chopping, hacking, hewing, cutting and pulling this stupid grape vine off the rotary clothes line.

Just don't ask why anyone, Brit or Aussie, would wish to grow a grape vine over a washing line. Yes the rental does have another line strung under the carport. Very inconvenient and not much sun shines in the carport.

So Auntie has three bandaids, sore hands, sore arms and OH just is not talking to her because she said she was only going out for a little while and came back about five hours later.

Don't much like gardening, which I suppose this was, but I do love a challenge. Removing the vines was like untangling knitting wool when you're using five strands at the same time.

I thought Arsenal was supposed to win one of those cups. Why do you have two competitions. Is one for the hasbeens and one for the wannabes. We only have one footy cup here and it takes 24 weeks to get to play in the finals to win it.

Hey BC. If you ask nicely one of the Nutters will introduce you to the catapult, the ArkRoyal and one or two of the cyberpets.

>>>>>>>>> runs on with a new box of band-aids for Auntie.

Sunshine?? Yes, we had some of that last month and we'll probably get some next spring as well. :-)

We had a little bit of sunshine this morning but then it saw me put my washing on the line and it vanished......... so the rain could attack my rotary line.

So that's a definite now, Maz?

Off to get my bridesmaid dress out of the loft!

Hello BC, welcome to the thread, have you got a bridesmaid dress?

Afternoon all, no I am not napping I have been out in the garden laying some paving slabs.

Hi Bc. Just loading up the catapult with some goodies for you, now let me see, Mole Stew, Magic mushroom rissotto, a large jar of pink custard. a couple of Boakins in case you need a scarf or two. I will have to go and round up the CP's and see who I can send over to you as I am not too sure how many new editions we have had since I last saw them. Well ot is Spring and they were geting a bit Frisky :D. I can't launch the Arsenal Arkroyal as we have had no rain so it is sitting in dry dock at the moment. As for the broomstick well it costs so much to fuel up I only use it very occasionally now LOL

Oooh, Aunty, here's some bandage too!!

We Poms do understand about grapevines. Very invasive!! What a silly place to plant one >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> On second thoughts, what a silly idea to plant one at all!!

We do know a little about rotary driers too! Pains in the backside if the ground stake isn't fitted in properly and terrible for hanging sheets on!!

Sunshine? We've had plenty over the last few weeks, but it has rained today. Not enough, I might add, to thorougly soak in to the borders, but better than nothing!

You have picutre and no sound then with OH!! Enjoy the peace while it lasts!!

BC, my Kenny is very good at steam cleaning anything, but he has been distracted by Bessie for some time now, so there could be some little Kennys running around in the CP now.

Pleased to see that LG has added you to the Nut Lodge Visitor's Book. All you need now is your botty stamping by Aunty and you will be a fully fledged member!

Hope you're following this ok!! If not, you will soon catch on!

LG, pleased to hear that you have not been catnapping!! I like to hear of people being busy! :D
