Throw in a steak dinner and the air fare, D A, and you're on. I'll bring the paint brush.

Wow, you must be pretty handy, David. I'm impressed. I have no "handy" genes.

[David]

I do OK, Chris; saved us a lot of money over the years.

[Janet , Moderator]

Blimey!! He sounds quite skilled .... he's been plastering!!

[David]

Makes a change from being plastered ;~)

[Janet , Moderator]

Lol!!

Mine is semi working. Why did I think you only had two kids?!! *losing the plot*

[DianeAlice]

Air fare David?! I'm in England!! I can run to a take-away haha.
Janet, I don't know why you thought that lol, I'm only one behind you! But all off my hands now ; )

I only travel by helicopter for decorating jobs; very exclusive ;~)

When I let you out of jail!

[Christine]

David, do helicopters carry enough gas to get you to Minnesota?

[David]

Janet wrote: "When I let you out of jail!"

There is that little complication, yes.

[Jean]

David, you beat me to the punch with your "plastered" line! Hard to plaster when you're plastered, I imagine (or do any other project well, for that matter, although some DIY-ers final results rather look like they've been imbibing while working. Yikes!) Anyway, I'm impressed, David.

Laughing my butt off!! Me too! I'll be heading to the loo and I get detoured by my children, my dog, my book, company arriving, a phone call. It's never ending. I love it when dogs are like us, don't you? Thanks for that laugh. :D

[Sharon]

its the last game of the season tomorrow and from the team sheet am having a small change in position for the game :) that doesn't mean I will be doing no exercise over a weekend - it means instead I will be back doing crossfit on a Friday night and hopefully out on the bike on the Saturday morning :D:D

[Freda]

My children are 17 now and I'm ever thankful they are not talking piercings and tattoos at all! They like the fake ones once in a while and will dye their hair blue or red come 'wacky' day at school but other than that, they enjoy their looks without all the added ink and metal. Should they ever decide to change their mind, I'm hoping they are small, scarce and discreet.

Oh, I want your body. Mine's falling apart! ..Wait, I meant, I wish my body wasn't falling apart so I could be as active as you are. I used to be. *sigh* :D

[Sharon]

I wouldn't say mine was in that great a condition lol I just work around it and do what I can :) I try to do something every day and during the week I try and walk to work from the train station and then back after it

[Patricia]

My son got his first tattoo. Tastefully done he researched local artists and went to the guy marked top artist in his city. He got a small tattoo of his graduation date (in Roman numerals) on his ankle. He works for a law firm and he can cover it up.

I know some of you have mentioned having diabetes and I do too. I've seen wrist tattoos of a medical alert bracelet in case you are not wearing one at the time. I'm considering this or something similar. But, I've seen some other beautiful works as art for whatever reason.

Make him plaster the jail Janet... :)

[David]

Ha! I'll need someone to mix, Gopal.

You're right, Jean, only tea is drunk while DIYing.

Sharon, you must have some stamina; Just reading your workouts makes me tired.

[Janet , Moderator]

I always imagine a cell like Lecter's in Silence Of The Lambs!! Proper hardcore!

I need to get a medic alert bracelet but I am allergic to metal and hate plastic. They do have a sterling silver one I could wear but the cost is quite a bit. I keep forgetting about it until I see someone mention it. I need to start saving. There are entirely to many things I need to save for. lol

[Patricia]

I've got 2 bracelets to wear. Just forget them sometimes. But, I'm not allergic to metal so no problem for me.

Everything costs too much these days!!

LOL don't know about stamina sometimes I think I am just plain mad for trying to do it all!!

Haha, Kirsten, my cats respect me! Maybe not always, but often, as long as I do what they tell me to do.

Today my wife and I treated ourselves to a new corner unit settee, and new oak flooring for our hallway, landing and lounge.

Celebrating paying off most of our mortgage off, rest by the end of the year (one part mortgage , one part loan).

Also celebrating our 35 years wedding anniversary tomorrow. 29th March 1980 married, where have all the years gone!

Ironically the young polish lady who served us at the furniture show was 35 years old tomorrow !!

Plus I knew the owners and he gave me 10% off, so happy.

[Sue]

Happy Anniversary tomorrow, Sean!!

[Sean, Moderator]

Who asked you to apologise for having tattoos - as far as I'm aware no one here?!! What you do is up to you!!

[Christine]

Sean, congratulations on your anniversary and mortgage!! You are going to France for the day? Hmmm. Think I'll do a day trip to South Dakota, lol.

[Sean, Moderator]

We are only one hour away by boat, Condor Ferry, to the beautiful historic walled city of St Malo.

In a weeks time our firm, pay for our group to go my fast speedboat rib, to go for an evening meal to Carteret in France, 20 minutes by rib !!

Takes a lot longer to go to the UK.

[Christine]

Wow. What is rib?

[Sean, Moderator]

It is last a dingy/speedboat, goes fast and up and down every wave ,so a bumpy ride !!

[Freda]

Good Times Sean, Happy Anniversary!! Don't ask me where all the years have gone, I'm asking that too. :D

[Sharon]

RIB - rigid inflatable boat. we used them a lot in the navy for boarding other ships and man overboard as well as other stuff.

that is my hockey season over we won today 4-0 am exhausted it was a very blustery day although it did stay dry which was a bonus. was nominated as player of the game by the opposition and did far too much running about will no doubt be asleep in front of the tv soon lol

[Janet , Moderator]

God I'm tired. Feel so weary :-(

Good for you, Sharon!! Any more competitive sports coming up for you to replace the hockey?

[Christine]

Janet wrote: "God I'm tired. Feel so weary :-("

Janet, can you get thru supper and then just go to bed early?

[Janet , Moderator]

Dunno! Maybe.

Which reminds me UKers clocks move forward tonight if anyone has forgotten.

[David]

An hour less in bed for my wife; she's working Sunday. Wish they'd just leave the clocks alone.

[Christine]

I agree with you on that, David. It's a pain to have to adjust.

[Sharon]

I am doing a thing called tough mudder in june but i don't do any other competitive sports over the summer. will continue training for hockey next season on a Wednesday night. I aim to get the bike out on a Saturday or Sunday again and i will be getting out the running shoes / doing more crossfit sessions in training for tough mudder

[Janet , Moderator]
