Morning! Just brought one of those probiotic yogurt drinks with me to support my body's natural defences so that I don't miss any more vine time. I set out with the intention of having one every day to see if I felt any different, but I keep forgetting to drink it. Nipping out to another department now to see if they are all wearing badgers.

[Two_Sheds]

I tried all those probiotic things for my IBS. Made no difference at all.

Curiously enough (maybe a coincidence?) my symptoms (which I won't go into) changed when I had my bike crash (landed hard on the road on my tailbone). Weird huh?

[Two_Sheds]

^ that's not a recommendation !

[Pumpkin Becki]

Morning gang!!

Right, Binley and Flo, lets get a few things clear ()

[HeyWayne]

Bean slept right through! Not a peep all night.

LadyWayne had to wake him up at 6:30.

Whoop. Whoop.

[Nicos]

PB the carpet sounds absolute luxury . Promise I'll keep the wine in the kitchen and that's why I go in the kitchen to drink my coffee. In case of badgers
Wayne that's brill that Bean slept thru. Is he in your room or did you go charging into his to make sure he was ok like I used to do when mine were little?

[Nicos]

Oh my...we have a gentle flutter of snowflakes!!!

This is still making me laugh, so I've emailed it to DarkCrow to see if it will perk him up this morning .

It worked, he said (and I quote)

'Superb!!!'

Now I'm a bit free and easy with my exclaimation marks (you may have noticed), but you have to do something pretty spectacular to get three out of him!!

Morning all.Feeling rather pleased today. My little sister announced yesterday that she is getting married in August. As she's getting married in France it looks like I'll get my trip over there this year

[binley100]

Hey Incy . Good news , that's something to look forward to

Flippen'eck just realised I've come a cropper. When did that happen?

[Incy]

Thanks Binley. I am looking forward to it. My family is dispersed all over the world so a wedding is always a good opportunity for as many as possible of us to get together
I suspect we'll take our tent down and make a proper holiday of it.

I think you came a cropper 25 posts ago

[binley100]

Gosh I hadn't realised how much sh*te I've been chattin'

What area of France will you be going to?

[Pumpkin Becki]

Congratulations binley!!

[Incy]

Loire Valley near Cholet. May have to pop in and see Bob one the way past

[binley100]

Loire valley very nice. We're going Carnac again this year it'll be the 5th time we've stayed there. SIL and BIL are coming as well .

[Incy]

Nice Binley. Anumber of my siblings plus my parents live in France. It's always nice to get out there

[binley100]

We've stayed in various parts of France but Carnac is where we keep going back to . I'd love to have a place there.

(Note to self - must remember to do the lottery )

[Glutton4...]

Hi all!

Bit later than I had planned, but I had Elevenses with my Dad for a change. Not motivated today, it's bladdy cold, and because I've come in and put the Poota on the blimmin sun has come out. It was snowing this morning and my hands were blue. I've got so much to do outside in the veg garden, and I just can't be bothered.

I've just given in to the sugar craving, and pigged down a large helping of Mr. G's choccy cheesecake I've got indigestion now, which serves me right!

Hope everyone else is chirpy. Good new on the wedding Incy, France is lovely - you'll have a great time!

[binley100]

Hey G4 . Warmed up yet.
Bloomin' cold here as well. Alternates between sun and rain even had hail at one point.

[Glutton4...]

Not too bad thanks Binley my feet are cold though! We've got hail here at the moment too

Right, I'm off to get motivated (ha ha), back this evening. See you then

[jackie j]

Feeling well pleased with my self. I spent the morning at my lottie ( no: 1 that is ) I have now dug over three quaters of it and raked up 2 big bags of leaves. I'm sure they all fall on my plot lol. I had a wonder up to my 2nd plot and found daffs growing at the bottom of the plot, an apple tree and a cherry tree in the two bottom corners at least thats what I think they are. Took the agrrement and the cheque to the treasurer's house hand delivered to make sure it gets there. Cant wait to start work on it, I wanted to sort first plot ready for planting so I can get on with the second plot.

[Glutton4...]

Sounds great JJ - two Lotties - lucky you!

[Pumpkin Becki]

Sounds like you've had a great day jackie. Well done.

I'm going to my second Garden Society Committee meeting later. Goodness knows what we'll talk about, we sorted all the show classes out at my first meeting!!

[binley100]

Oooo PB you'll have to fill us in on the goss when you return

JJ sounds like you've had a good day. It's been brass monkeys here not at all good for spending time outdoors.

[Florence Fennel]

Hi All - weather has been all sorts today, sounds pretty much like in Coventry Binley. Just done on-line shopping at Asda. When I first started doing this again when we had the on and off snow the bill was quite reasonable, I think because I was just getting what we needed until we could get the car out to go to Morrisons (that's the next to nearest supermarket, nearest being Tesco, but I find them expensive), but the bill is creeping ever upwards. Wow, talking in paragraphs tonight instead of sentences, must be feeling better!

[binley100]

Evenin' FF . So I'm all agog were they wearing their badgers.

[binley100]

He is

[Florence Fennel]

Hi Binley, rofl - you just caught me on the way out. Yes, they were all wearing their badgers, but disappointed to find they had only added the r so definitely not as good as the one he's got. BTW, no one else has spotted it yet, so I'm not saying anything until I find out who took the Minutes!
See you tomorrer
Flo x

[zazen999]

Evening all

Missed a load of badgering it seems; rofl.

Been busy busy busy here - have taken the JC+ up on some training opportunities so have a few sessions booked to sit with headphones on and type lots. YAY!!!

Rams won 3-0 tonight, so Mr Z will be a happy bunny when he gets home; he's off to Dublin at the crack of dawn so we will have to delay celebrating until tomorrow night. Rather him than me, it was chuffin' cold tonight.

On another note; was talking about trying to find tyres for the lottie and one of the chaps at college has hundreds [I think he works in the auto trade at the rougher end of the spectrum] and wants to know how many I want [YAY!!!] - so will be expanding my potato growing into deep tyre piles after half term. And he's from the village so is going to drop them off for me!!!!!!

Thanks for the reminder of the Veg Committee PB; We've got our meeting on Thursday night and I've got to cadge a lift there so I need to work out timings......

Right - I'm whacked!!!

I'm off for a hot soak and then packing meesel off to bed.

Night Grapes. xxx

[binley100]

Time for me to be orf as well. nighty night.

[Florence Fennel]

Morning everyone. Virtual Full English I think this morning. Bit icy here.

[Two_Sheds]

Icy here, bit of snow too.
I have to walk to work (30 mins) instead of bike (10 mins) boo. That cuts into my Vine time.


To make up for it, we're going to Nandos tonight for a "Valentine" meal - we don't really celebrate, but any excuse to go for a spicy beanburger & chips eh?

[Glutton4...]

Morning all!

Just popped in before popping off out. Bladdy snowing here, would have thought it was too cold for that, but what do I know!? Got a garden to 'do' today, but I'd rather stay in in the warm to be honest. (Lazy tart!)

Catch y'all later, have a good day.
