You enjoy being smug!

You are the Wise Woman of your tribe, wife ;)

Well, I will try to enjoy it, but I would really rather belabour this woman with a copy of Excel for Dummies and force her to learn a few things. Still, in not very long at all, these things should cease to be my problem :D

You should leave her with a copy of Excel for Dummies as you leave on your last day, waving breezily and skipping with joy :D

Bob is ace. We had a little chat and his candles are first class. They're Yankee candles. Have you smelt them? They're gorgeous. I bought two big jar candles that are gingerbread scented to go in my new gingerbread house! My house now smells as good as its name. :)

Huzzah for the Gingerbread House! You know you have to get a REALLY big oven at some point don't you? The kids in a cage might not be a great idea, mind...

Depends on how often the local little sneckers kick a football into my garden! :wink:

Deornoth 02-06-2008 01:27 PM

RANT: Didn't get to sleep until two in the morning :(

RANT: Up at six fifteen :evil:

RAVE: Have been on a sugar rush since eight in the morning :D

RAVE: Will finally be going to see 'Iron Man' tonight! :D

Dria 02-06-2008 04:30 PM

RANT: Ankle playing up again. Ow.

RAVE: Going to see SATC with my mum on Wednesday.

RANT: Idiot so called friends who treat me like crap and then accuse me of being childish when I say I don't want to see them.

mosquito617 02-06-2008 06:57 PM

I hates Yankee candles, they always always trigger my hay fever

RAVE: Skive day was goooooooooooooooooooood

miykwhat 02-06-2008 07:05 PM

RAVE: New phone! It's all blue and has unnecessary - just how I like 'em!
RANT: But is strangely devoid of people's phone numbers. Email them to me t.o.m@o2email.co.uk if you like random unsolicited text messages about crap. Guaranteed to make you happy! Or irritated.

breyah 02-06-2008 07:07 PM

RAVE: Devon was lovely, we went to the seaside, played mini golf and went to the Spa!

RANT: Have no food in what so ever, and I'm very hungry, and Chris is at rehearsals till 10!

RAVE: The glourious, wonderfull, sexy, fabulous K is back! He's not guilting me into writting this at all, honest ;)

cosmicrohanprincess 02-06-2008 09:02 PM

RAVE: Drove all the way to Ipswich and back and I didn't crash or get lost or anything. Yay me! :mrgreen:

RANT: People who drive at 65mph in the middle lane of the motorway. Get your ass over to the left so the rest of us can overtake, for frak's sake! :evil:

RANT: The lights in the Dartford tunnel. They make my eyes go funny. :evil:

RAVE: My friend just bought a Wii Fit. Spent a few days playing on it. It's brilliant and I want one! :D

Dragondrawers 02-06-2008 09:20 PM

RANT: We keep missing Forum birthdays.

RAVE: Going on holiday tomorrow

So glad I'm not the only one. I think it's going to be a long night. I'm not even that convinced by the germ I have. Oh well...

Deornoth 02-06-2008 11:14 PM

You crack open a bottle of wine, I've got some beer. Let's do this :D

jumpin' jellybean 02-06-2008 11:20 PM

Oooh. Pulp Idol suicide pact. I like it. :D

Deornoth 02-06-2008 11:24 PM

I'm going to get really drunk and just write whatever comes to mind :D

jumpin' jellybean 02-06-2008 11:41 PM

My plan is similar :D

edit: half three and I've got 1300 words done of my first draft. How's it going D?

BruceWee 03-06-2008 05:54 AM

Rave: Put my notice in for work

I was in bed at half three with 1865 words done and my story completed 8)
I'm going to go over it a couple of times and post it tonight. How's it going with your story now? (Good luck! :D )

breyah 03-06-2008 09:42 AM

RAVE: I'm finally getting a desk of my own!

RANT: It's right next to my 1* (uber-boss) so It's smart dress and no surfing the net all day from then on! :shock: :cry:

Deornoth 03-06-2008 09:42 AM

Refuse the desk!

breyah 03-06-2008 09:51 AM

I wish I could.

Unfortunatly it's the only one there is. Oh well, at least he's out the office a fair bit. :?

I've been over it a couple of times this morning and I'm currently running around seeking second opinions and proof readers :D

RANT: Sooooooo tired.

Deornoth 03-06-2008 10:50 AM

jumpin' jellybean 03-06-2008 10:52 AM

She can have his babies too. Such is the awesomeness of The Grohl.

jumpin' jellybean 03-06-2008 01:19 PM

RAVE: 1826 words submitted. Fly my pretties, fly! I don't expect anything after the awesomeness that was last year, but I'm really pleased with myself for making the deadline.

Good luck to all the Pulp Idollers :D

Deornoth 03-06-2008 02:33 PM

RAVE: Just submitted my Pulp Idol entry, 1921 words of greatness (in my head anyway :wink: )

RANT: Already impatient at having to wait :D

jumpin' jellybean 03-06-2008 02:38 PM

Oh, by the way, thanks D. If it hadn't been for your post last night, I probably wouldn't have done it at all :D

Dria 03-06-2008 05:12 PM

RANT: Stupid people who send me what are meant to be apologies but actually end up making me feel guilty as if it's my fault I was the one being treated like crap.

RAVE: Wine.

RANT: It's crap wine.

RAVE: Lovely flatmates.

Fleet Captain Roak 03-06-2008 06:14 PM

RAVE : Got a massive new fridge for FREE off Freecycle Sutton - it had only been used for six months before the lady had a whole new kitchen re-done and it didn't 'fit in' anymore ! :D :D :D

Her waste is my gain ! :wink:

RANT : Fecking splinters ! :( Got one a huge one JAMMED under finger nail * ouch * , pulled it out but it was still trobbing hours later . Had to cut off 1/3 of my finger nail to get the small bit still stuck in there ! :shock: :cry: :cry:
