My nanny is a really good cook

Well that's not very nutritious!

How long are you staying with her? Hope she's got more amazing meals planned for you.

I never even tried to convince myself it would be nutritious. =P

Probably do some pasta in a bit. Not that I really need more carbs... >.>

Staying until Monday
I'm sure she will!
Everything she makes is yummy, even when she's just like 'I've been lazy and just whipped this together' its still way more effort and more delicious than I can ever do!!

Haha! :p
Got anything to go with the pasta?

It's the special skill of that generation, I think!

Not really. I bought some stir-in pasta sauces so I'll just use one of those and dump a load of cheese on top. =P

I also need to go out later and get cash/supplies for tomorrow... =/

Probably!
My mum can do it too.

Mmm cheese!!
Sucks that you have to go out again though!
Its dark!!

And still windy!

I was dumb and went out yesterday to do it but forgot to take my debit card.

Yep and windy!
Ah no thats so annoying!

Yo! :)

Yobergine! How are you?

I'm OK thanks. How're you?

I'm alright. Full of nerdy excitement for tomorrow. And pasta. =)

Hi Aubergine!

What's tomorrow, Person?


Hi Beckie! How are you?


I have a cold. I've been poorly for a WEEK!

I'm ok thanks!

Oh no Aubergine!!
Colds are no fun

Tomorrow is giant pumpkin weigh off day. =)

Oh no. Are you getting better now? A week is a long time to be ill.

My family are growing pumpkins this year.
I doubt they are anywhere near as impressive as yours though np!

Ooo hooray for pumpkins! I hope you have fun. :)


I'm glad that you're OK, Beckie! :) Been up to much?


I thought I was getting better, but feel awful today. I can't work out if it's the first cold that's got a second wind, or I've icked up another cold. The problem with working with sick people. :(

Hello all.

How was your meeting with Mike the other day Beckie?

Thanks Aubergine!
Met up with Mike yesterday and stayed over.
We had a great time thanks Dawn!

That sounds awful aubergine :(
I hope it clears off soon

There are three transit vans full of police outside my house! I've never felt so safe. =)

Oh, wow! How come, do you know?

I am tired... We did a marathon Ikea shop for the new flat after work and now I am on my way home.

Because of royal wedding stuff. They've been around all day.

Eek, Ikea is a tiring place to visit even if you don't buy loads! Did you get everything you wanted?

Ah right! I hardly even knew a royal wedding was happening. Shows how tuned in I am.

I think we got most things! There are a few bits and pieces we might order online instead. And we still need a fridge, that's probably the most urgent.

I also had no clue about any weddings!

Eska, IKEA marathon sounds exhausting. I hope you can get some rest soon.

Glad you had a good time yesterday Beckie.

Oh no Aubergine, I can empathise, been sick for a while too, and everyone around me has had this cold (I've got a kidney infection, didn't catch the cold.) I hope you feel better soon.

NP, yay for pasta! Hope tomorrow goes well :)

This one was much more low-key but we've known about it for months here.

Thanks Indigo. =) The pasta was very nice!

Morning guys :)

Hello!
I have just woken up

Oops Beckie!

Though I can beat you as I woke up at about quarter past two.

I hope you two aren't going to be awake all night now.

I'm eagerly awaiting NP coming into the thread.

Evening all, guess who is out of hospital and has cuppa soup to share round!

That's awesome buttons!!

Its 8:40 and i am tired but only just setting off for the club
*dies*

I'm here! And absolutely shattered. Long but exciting day.

My two pumpkins didn't weigh as much as estimated but still pleased with the results. Came 3rd for the squash (45 stone) and 10th for the pumpkin (48 stone) and won a fancy ribbon and £50 which was a complete surprise (didn't know there was money to be won...!)

Yay! =D

Good news Buttons.

Yay buttons! That's fab news. You've been missed :-)

Ooo np well done! Do you have any idea what you'll spend the money on? It should be something nice though and not boring! I demand it :'P

I'm at my uncles and everyone is asleep. Even the cat who loves me but is 19.

Aw, that's a really old cat. He/she probably spends all the time asleep at that age!

And thanks. =P I'm not actually sure if I'm allowed to keep the money because it was partly a work thing and we have a weird rule about having to declare "gifts" (even freebies like calendars from suppliers!).

I was thinking it would buy me a massive tub of fertiliser for next year, lol! But I'm sure that doesn't count as nice so I'll have to rethink. =P

What're you up to when everyone wakes up?

Nice to see you Buttons, I'm glad you're home now. How are you doing?

Well done NP :-) I hope you get to keep the money and buy something good even if it turns out to be fertiliser!

Hey Lillie, I guess people are awake by now? Are you doing much today?

What's everyone getting up to?

Erm a cake as well as fertiliser may be appreciated lol np.

I'm on my epic trek home. Train 1. Before the 2 tubes and train 2. I hate living in the arse end of beyond.
But Billy the cat came and lay on my front with his chin on mine and we had cuddles. He doesn't even mind you touching his paws and ears! My auntie kept trying to get me to take him home lol.

What are you guys up to?

Aww cat cuddles are the best. What a journey Lillie, have you got things to occupy yourself with? Hope the journey goes smoothly.

I've got some housework to do. Might attempt to go for a walk later but I'm not sure.

Good luck on your travels, Lillie.

Lindsay, hope your weather is better than it is down here, got rain all day so no walk for me.

I need to get off my arse and stop looking at pumpkin stuff, go shopping and then meet my friend later to bore her with more pumpkin stuff!

I'm wondering if I have a problem - is pumpkin addiction a thing? =)

Going to post some pics later.

They are!
And nope I was in a bad physical health place when I packed so I barely managed to get clothes and toiletrise together. May buy a book or something.

Ugh housework! Don't remind me. I haven't done mine fully in 2 weeks. Just bits and bobs.
How's the weather where you are? It's grey and wet in London.

Pumpkin soup is the best thing ever though. So if your pumpkin talk involves that it's all good np.

I have a massive (not giant) butternut squash that I'm planning on making into soup later. =)

*waves to Lillie as she passes by on the train?* =P

Good but no pumpkin :-(

*waves*

Am knackered. Being up at 5.45 is catching up with me. And everyone else gets Sunday lunch and to snooze.

I concur with Lillie pumpkin soup is EPIC. Damnit now I want some :( Thankyou for all the lovely comments :) I'm especially glad I got discharged as my birthday is on Wednesday and I didn't want to spend it in there!

Hey guyss

Hey Beckie :)

Ooooo what fun do you have planned buttons?

I hate life. My train tube train journey is now a train tube train bus train taxi journey. Damn line is forever flooding !! And someone has burger king on the train and I want it so bad.
