Will you be rushing off to the new shopping centre in Derby (I won't) or, if you've already been by the time you read this, what do you think?

excellent, Robinia, I wanted to note down the details of my 6-course meal again before I die. Did I mention that the boss of bosses was there? Not my boss but of most other guests. Right little alpha male. When we relaxed and played pool afterwards he was all for imposing Strategy, pleading with his various partners (it was all ever-changing doubles, like my drinks) not to pot the ball, just cover the pocket, so he could go round and pot them all at the end. Needless to say everyone else just wanted to have fun hitting the ball in the hole and ignored him, and he lost every match he was in, haha.

I don't want to appear big headed but I'm using Beta and can see all your avatars. The problem I have is getting Personal Messages when I click on in box nothing happens but I will keep trying. Hope everybody is ok and that you all have a goodnight. :o)

[netibiza]

Stop showing off jude - actually I'm not sure if biddies are allowed to use the beta version cos our BP's and heartbeats can't take the strain.

[Robinia]

looks like neti's fairy can't stand the strain

[Robinia]

[Jude123]

Hiya.Just nipped in for a last read. That is good Vinny you're really good at all this stuff aren't you. Where do you find it all. You can't just google it or can you? :o)

[netibiza]

Robi and Vinny you are both so clever, I love the falling fairy, and how on earth does Vinny do all that - wasted childhood methinks!!!

[jno]

quite right, neti. You can't actually see the water ripple unless you're squiffy on Becks. So I don't even know it's happening.

[VINNY100_2]

[Robinia]

[Jude123]

Hi Biddies Hope you are all ok and enjoying the run up to Christmas. I've been into work today for one of my Christmas Dinners. I had a great laugh with my friends. Management waited on us and we had a lot of fun food and wine. They had a skit on I'm A celebrity get me out of Here. Where they had to taste or touch things with a blindfold on to see if they could guess what it was. They had worms in a box (real worms which they had to touch)bull's testicle but it was a meat ball really but they didn't know til they put it in their mouths. Wicked!
I'm really stuffed wont want anything else to eat for the rest of the day lol.
Anyway off to read the local rag now see yer later 'gater(s) :o)

[DaSwede]

Jude I want to be like you... not the eating er meatballs but I want your energy...!

Christmas again... a complicated time of the year for little old maid me. In some ways I'm expected to come "home" - but I'm not going. How much should I tell you about it, well I've given serious consideration to that and I feel I could tell you almost everything about my somewhat dysfunctional upbringing and the reverberations still affecting everyone involved - those still alive - but, again, I won't.

The reason for that is, there are a few people in my family who don't know everything about everything that once transpired and they'd be badly hurt to learn I'd discussed it on here, if they ever were to stumble across this. So I'll just say that Christmas is... complicated! I probably won't mention this again. Sorry for being so cryptic, possums, it ain't I don't trust you.


uncomplication
(if I can't be Jude I want to be Louieeee instead)

Still can't get my avatar to join me. I don't want to fill out everything in the form in My Profile - did y'all state your birth dates, for instance??

[Robinia]

hi Kit...I was just a-wonderin' where you were...
yep of course I told them my age...born 1971...yeeeees, well it's close enough. I don't have it showing on the beta business though.
Understood re the family stuff...who has had a 'normal' upbringing? I don't know anyone without at least one 'we don't talk about that' episode. We were discussing our ancestors at the funeral on Tues & our grandfather refused to talk about some things & there was alot of jiggery-pokery with the family name so you can imagine how hard it is to trace back. Did I ever mention it was only a few yrs ago that I found out I was illegitimate!!

oh lordy...Vin's had a long Thursday & he's nodded off in M&S....in the lingerie!!

WAKE UP VIN!...you're dreaming of soft silky women again...

[DaSwede]

Well I won't do the You were lucky-skit, Robinia, but in our family it's more about finding the one episode that we can talk about, ha ha...

I was here yesterday! Never got round to posting though, started doing the numbers-and-letters-posters that Vinny put here and I lost all track of time. Didn't you sense my presence, Madam Robinia? ;-)

Signing out now, gotta get some stuff done. Nitie nite!

[netibiza]

Hey Robi we must be related - I am illegitimate also, although my mum's husband was the only father I ever knew and he was sooo lovely to me - he was my Dad!!! Don't know about families nottalking about these things - we are always gabbing and searching the internet for lost "twigs"

[netibiza]

I only found out when I was 21 when my parents were getting a divorce. My father told me, mother never, ever mentioned it!
