Any chance for me, with TWO bottles of Chablis?I've got three recycled plastic tumblers! Of coarse Pete's invited. I've heard about a certain persons problems with lemonade, let alone diluted white wine!! ( I hear it is diluted with SCHVELENSKIS SUPEROCTANE VODKA, c OR k can be used.)

jeni Wed 27-Jun-12 21:00:24

Definetly not!
It would take several bottles of the widow, with real beluga caviar sor cream and blinis.
I don't come cheapgrin

Anagram Wed 27-Jun-12 20:49:22

Yes, and stop trying to wheedle your way into jeni's affections, Pete. She isn't just anyone's for a glass of wine, you know! (I don't think...confused)

Jacey Wed 27-Jun-12 20:46:24

Take care of yourself nellie (((hugs)))

Pete Wed 27-Jun-12 20:45:21

Should be don't
... that wine is strong... Fancy a glass jeni smile

Anagram Wed 27-Jun-12 20:04:02

Tell everyone? confused

This forum is getting odder by the minute! grin

jeni Wed 27-Jun-12 19:47:55

Yes! Nut cases called Pete and gramps!

Pete Wed 27-Jun-12 19:38:11

There are two cases Anagram....but tell everyone.... smile

Anagram Wed 27-Jun-12 19:29:52

Sounds as though there isn't much wine for nellie to come back to, then! confused

Pete Wed 27-Jun-12 19:28:11

I can only watch the shed until 7-30 as the football is on. Key is under the plant-pot. There is a half-full bottle of white in the fridge, thought I'd sample it as the label looked dodgy ..... seems fine.. grin

soop Wed 27-Jun-12 16:42:34

jeni Tut! grin

jeni Wed 27-Jun-12 16:34:32

Over who?confused I don't remember those names on GN!

Ella46 Wed 27-Jun-12 16:02:54

I think Pete and gramps know nellie well enough, to know that if the wine has all gone when she gets back there will be consequences! grin

soop Wed 27-Jun-12 14:33:35

jeni are you brave enough to volunteer? grin
I'm far too busy drooling over Roger F and Raffa wink

jeni Wed 27-Jun-12 14:12:05

So who is in charge of Pete and gramps while Nellie is away?
You can't trust them on their own. Particularly when a shed fil of wine is involved!
( sighs) suppose we'll have to set up a rota to sit with them and drinkmake sure they don't drink all the winegrin

soop Wed 27-Jun-12 13:07:25

Dear nellie ...I've been worried about you. I'm so sorry that this has happened. You are in all our thoughts. I may not be able to leave another message until I return from London. Take good care of yourself. (((hugs)))

gramps Tue 26-Jun-12 23:56:25

Pete Tue 26-Jun-12 23:50:47

Is any one looking after the shed....its now full of wine.. grin

Ella46 Tue 26-Jun-12 18:36:55

Poor nellie you do seem to be getting more than your fair share of difficult (to say the least!) times.
I hope your son isn't too badly hurt, and things start to look up soon for you.
Take care of yourself too, love and (((hugs))) and a large wine is waiting in the shed!

Anagram Tue 26-Jun-12 18:28:51

Oh, nellie, so sorry to hear of your present troubles. I'm sure you'll cope admirably, as always, but it seems that it never rains but it pours for you. flowers

The decision about the dogs must be his, but as a dog lover I would not see this as a reason to have them put to sleep. When dogs are fighting they will bite anyone who gets in the way - I'm sure they would not normally have bitten him or any person. I have scars from separating fighting terriers but the dogs were certainly not vicious or dangerous to humans. Unfortunately with staffies they are so powerful that they can inflict a lot of damage without meaning to. It would certainly be an argument for separating them permanently, if another family member is willing to take one of them. It would also be an argument for keeping them muzzled when taken out.

Whatever the decision about the dogs, I do hope your son will be ok and I hope you are looking after yourself nellie; it's such a worry for us when our children of any age are hurt. ((hugs)) to all of you

Annobel Tue 26-Jun-12 17:59:38

So sorry to hear about your son's mishap and your involvement, having to rush hither and thither. You can't call your life your own at the moment. I hope you reach a solution about the dogs. Surely he could never trust them again. Will be thinking of you. ((((hugs))))

jeni Tue 26-Jun-12 17:50:40

Best wishes to you Nellie. We're here if you want us.

nelliedeane Tue 26-Jun-12 17:43:45

I am not lost but have been called away to a family emergency,am backwards and forwards to Essex at the moment as my son is in hospital after being badly bitten by two fighting staffs ( his own ) and now awaits micro surgery today to repair his hand and arm,unfortunately Kerry has been in hospital as she is I'll with her CF,we are in the midst of getting E cared for ,and our dog and other related problems....believe I wish I was locked in the shed at the moment preferably with a large bottle of wine ...will try and keep in touch but am likely to be harassed for the next week or so we are having the debate at the moment about the dogs being destroyed..... Unfortunately not my decision..it would be yes but other parties are getting involved in laws......ggggrrrrhhhh....love you all take carexxxxxxxxx

jeni Tue 26-Jun-12 15:44:17

Very likely I should think!
