Grace is a bit miffed that she has had to budge up, but recognises that her mum has been a bad, bad, bad granny and will not be allowed out until the nice ladies at Gransnet Towers say so. Her mum is sad that her scintillating exchange of views with another lady has been curtailed - surely not censoredshock- and the thread she started has apparently disappeared like a snowflake on a river - a moment there, then gone for eversad
It seems a shame that smutty schoolboy lavatorial humour and crude innuendo are deemed acceptable despite leainge a bad taste on an otherwise friendly, companionable and intelligent site. She has said she will apologise to any parties named (or not) so, apart from hanging her head in shame, tail firmly between the legs and ears drooping, what more can she do? She will probably have many more hours in the day now to take Grace for nice walkies instead of sitting at that machine on the desk. [woof] emoticon.

I'd look away if I were you. Likewise the Scotland-Tonga match - the less said the bettersad

Yes here I am ! Only dipped in briefly while away. Lovely time. Celtic Royal Hotel - very cheap deal dinner b and b, enormous family room with 3 beds, nice pool and a gym (handy on THAT wet day) friendly welsh people. Met someone i used to work with in W Water and had a couple of hours of catch up on news. Great bakeries everywhere. We do love our cakes. Lovely walk this morning on western tip of Anglesey.
Came back with leg of lamb and shin of beef.
Braced for the rugby now. sad

Jess!! I've just been busy putting my face on for my night out and, as I was doing so thought to myself 'where's Jess' and couldn't remember you saying you were going away...and, here you are; as if by magic!

JessM Sat 24-Nov-12 18:26:15

Gosh, I go away to N Wales for a few days and come back to gracesmum convincing herself she is in doghouse. Don't worry, gracesmum you are not the only one to accidentally transgress the rules of GN and we live to tell the tale. Or forget what it was about. flowers

Oh, I don't know! Some bits were really funny ha ha! grin

jeni Sat 24-Nov-12 18:13:52

Funny peculiar rather than funny haha

Marelli Sat 24-Nov-12 18:09:58

I haven't been able to make head nor tail of what has happened here confused. I shall go and give the curry a bit of a poke and pour myself a large gin and tonic. It's been a funny day.....hmm!

I second that Moomin

jO5 Sat 24-Nov-12 18:07:59

yoga I did just that! Went out in son's new red sports car (porsche of course)hmm and am now feeling slightly sick from over-indulging in almond croissant in Pattiserie Valerie. smile

Reading this thread through whilst cooking (probably a little foolhardy! Fingers still in one piece tho') Now I know why I rarely post, read thread with assorted amazement and amusement. Cheers all and here's to Saturday evening wine

glassortwo Sat 24-Nov-12 17:00:56

That was a response to nag post 15.33.41 grin

absentgrana Sat 24-Nov-12 16:56:10

Wtf?

glassortwo Sat 24-Nov-12 16:44:19

Well my Nana always blamed the Russians going into space ....turned the world upside down so she said, seem like that's whats happened on this thread since I went out this morning grin

Movedalot Sat 24-Nov-12 16:33:25

Oh Barrow, having not been on GN for weeks and not for long before that I had no idea. I am however glad that you were able to have such a good conversation. DH and I are very busy making good memories so that whichever one of us is left alone at some point we will be able to look back happily on our years together.

He does sound like a nice man. smile

Barrow Sat 24-Nov-12 16:27:21

Ahh, thanks Movedalot. When we knew he was terminal we sat and had a long talk looking back over our time together and the nicest thing he said was that he had no regrets.

jeni Sat 24-Nov-12 16:25:56

No! I'm going away but thanks! Laugh is probably right! I'll try it with material I have. It's a pinafore dress and she's only 16/12.

Movedalot Sat 24-Nov-12 16:22:49

Barrow it was love! He can't control who he falls in love with. smile

Elegran Sat 24-Nov-12 16:22:26

Pity you don't live nearer, Jeni. I would come round and laugh help. Well I could sit and tell you what you are doing wrong anyway. Can it wait until the 11th of December? I shall be in Bristol then taking presents down to DDS and DDG.

jeni Sat 24-Nov-12 16:09:47

grin

annodomini Sat 24-Nov-12 16:03:51

Thank you, jeni hmm, you have just taken me back 40-odd years... shudder!

Barrow Sat 24-Nov-12 16:03:03

Me to Movedalot I can't sew on a button without it falling off again. Someone once asked me what I did when my DH shirts needed repairing - I said I threw them away and got some new ones!!

Thinking about it I don't know why he married me in the first place, I'm a terrible housekeeper, can't sew and hate cooking! Must have been for my sparkling personality grin

Movedalot Sat 24-Nov-12 15:58:16

Wow Elegran now I really do feel inadequate! That all sounds so clever and complicated. I am so glad I don't own a sewing machine or someone might expect me to be as clever as you! I don't understand a word of what you and jeni are saying!

jeni Sat 24-Nov-12 15:56:55

I'd have thought not. So should I get some more lighter fabric for the facing? I'm a complete novice here. I can sew people, do a very nice blanket stitch for episiotomies, but fabric?
