message 901: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Okay. So you'd think it was funny if you were me? Not that you'll ever be me. No one could ever be as awesome as me. Don't forget, TOC loves me because I co-created a hashtag for him.

message 908: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) Good morning people :D

It's Wednesday, almost 1/2 way through the working week (for me at least), the sun is shining and I'm off book shopping this weekend (when hopefully the wetaher will still be hot hot hot!)

What's everyone else got to look forward to this coming week/weekend?


message 909: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Hiya Hayley! :D

It's too hot in Wales I nearly died today. I don't do well in the heat. Oooh! Book shopping! I love book shopping, when I really am looking I go in charity shops. You find some great bargains.

I'm spending Sunday in front of my TV because BTCC is on (shuddup Rea & Tara) and I love that. Don't get me started on it however because you'll never shut me up and I'll just redirect you to the Fit Guys topic. :P


message 910: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Haha.

BTCC stands for British Touring Car Championship. It's a form of motorsport. It's actually my favourite (F1 gets boring on tracks like Singapore) because you're guaranteed lots of crashes, overtakes and controversy. It's also on my TV for 7 hours so I'm literally not gonna really be here on Sunday. xD (Right... I'm gonna stop now. Before I get told off.)

Aww sweetie, you sound like I do when I watch the rugby (seriously - the minute it hits the proper competition side of it I'm gone the whole match!)

The heat was annoying because I was stuck in the office in the heat with the smell being blown in from river Medway - blech!

I would go to charity shops for these books 'cept I'm pretty sure they won't be there - pitfalls of them being on the MBP shortlist - boo :(

At least I'm not alone in my passion (even if yours is for a different sport! :P)

Eeew, I'd hate that. I don't like being too warm. It makes me feel ill. On the upside I ate an ice lolly!

Aww, that sucks. Boo! I like bargain books! :P


message 913: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Just deciding which of the MANY, MANY pictures that I took of myself should be my new GR pic. (I've chosen my Twitter one already.)

I love rugby - and not just for the men... tho' I don't complain about some of them ;P

I don't get on with heat - there's only so many layers I can take off to try and cope before I'm trying to peel skin :S I don't have an ice lolly - only Pringles :(

I love bargain books - but these are needed for the challenge - after that's done I already have LOADS to read... happy, happy, joy, joy :D

I'm like that with BTCC. ;P

I don't either. It's just not normal in the UK. This is why my ideal holiday is husky sledding. xD

Yay! There's nothing better than lots of books to read! :D


message 916: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) Teehee, it's much better than footie imo to! I may look into this BTCC thing - altho' I doubt I'll stick with it for 7 hours I'm afraid :(
My perfect holiday is skiing in Canada! But I'm willing to put up with Morrocco heat (sp?) for the camel rides and experience alone :D

I think, after the MBP challenge, I'll have at least 10 ready and waiting for me - almost all can be reviewed too :D

Very random - had to post this link, made me giggle and choke on a pringle!

message 917: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) I hate footie. No words can describe just how much. Lol... it's okay, it's really long but there are lots of races that happen in the 7 hours. It's not just one long race. No one would finish!

Oooh! It does sound awesome. I won't lie.

Yay! I review every book I read nearly. :P

O..."


Oh, thought it'd be like the F1 thing where they go round and round and round and....zzzzzzz (I kid, I kid ;D)

Well of the 10 two are follow ups to a book I read aages ago and can barely remember - so I either do them as slightly standalone reviews as I did before with Rebellion or just read and don't review - will most probably end up reviewing regardless but it's worth a thought :/


message 919: by Jeshu (new)

Jeshu (jeshusauria) This morning, Victoria asked my why panda bears jump on the bed o.o Did she have a dream about that? Why? XD

Lol! It's fine, I get why some people think that and some of them can be boring but not with BTCC. They like to drive into each other.. xD

I tend to re-read the entire series. I'm just good like that!


message 921: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) @ Jeshu - is she maybe hiding pandas in her room? I once had my little sister talk to me about banana's... whilst she wa sstill asleep - strange convo :P

@Char - I would but it was one of the books sacrificed to charity when I moved so now only have 2 & 3 :( May see if I can find it as a bargain in a charity shop just to keep the series.


message 922: by Hayley (last edited Sep 28, 2011 09:35AM) (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) Jesus Char, just saw the new pic you uploaded when I was checking my updates thing and then somehow ended up on your profile and then realised something - you were born in the 90s but your, technically, now in your 20s.... that just sounded wrong to me... I'm only 5 years older than you but was born in a different decade and I feel old now ;_;


message 923: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) @Jeshu It's well known that pandas jump on the beds of young girls called Victoria. It's because they like to bounce! :P (I'm a bit hyper, you can ignore me).

@Hayley Aww... that sucks! I'd never give up any of my books. I couldn't do it. I love them all way too much. (Except for the rubbish ones... I should get rid of those, but I just can't do it.) You should, you never know. Amazon may have it though.

Haha! That's so funny. I was born in '91 but because I was born in Jan I'm 20... closer to 21. Don't feel like that. My brother's in the same boat! :P


message 925: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Also an exciting development about my 21st!!!! I'm going to enjoy it because I have been told I can have ALCOHOL!!! The convo went a bit like this:

Me: "Mum will you be taking pics of me on my birthday because if you are I'm not touching anything until I've got my makeup on."

Mum: "Yes I want pics. Okay then."

Me: "Mum, can I have some vodka?"

Mum: *grumbles for a bit* "S'pose so..."


So yeah I'm gonna get drunk on my birthday! I'm looking forward to it now. :P

Hahaha. I had no idea! I need to get some bamboo to feed them, I don't want them to starve. Bouncing is a tiring sport.

You've never had alcohol? But you're over 18 (says the woman who's been able to get into clubs since 15 :S)

Don't get too drunk hun, just enjoy it sensibly (as in... don't go OTT and pass out - things will be done to your face etc!)

I was the youngest in my school year - my bday's end of August and cut off for each year is Sept 1st so not many people had birthday's after me :(

Didn't you!? I think that fact must've escaped you somehow... I know, they're going to need bamboo and a place to snooze. I mean they be tired after all that bouncing.

Oh no! I've had it before but my mum disapproves of alcohol very, very much.

I won't. Although I'm a very happy drunk... I just go around telling people I love them (I may have to stay away from Twitter). :P

Awww... My bro's birthday is Sept 1st. :P

Oh please be on Twitter... oh wait - it's your 21st, I don't wanna see you online all night when you should be out tearing up the town (or in tearing up the house with mates:P)

I had a pink 21st - pink cava, pink food, pink deco... and to think I used to be a tomboy then a goth for a while (black is not flattering on me considering my natural pale skin :S)

Lol! I'll be online because I'm either gonna have an MSN party or a Twitter party (although that would ruin the "no Twitter" thing.) I'm not really a party girl so I definitely won't be going out.

Oooh! I've been promised a balloon, and a badge, and a teddy (she's already got the teddy lol!). I'm a tomboy and I used to be emo. My fave colour's pink. :P


message 932: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) Hmmm, shall hafta gate crash that one then ;D

I like the sound of the balloon! And a badge too...a nd the teddy... oh what the heck, It's obviously all good :D

Oh gee whizz, child outside screaming - someone pass me water balloons so I can shut the brat up (can't you just hear the maternal instinct oozing out of my very pores >:/ )


message 933: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Lol! Feel free. Are you on Twitter? If so are you following me and if not why not? :P You should. I can see it ending badly. :P

Haha! It sounds so awesome. She says she wants to make a fuss because her parents didn't for her. (Which is quite sweet of her.)

Hahaha! You sound like me! I'm always like that with annoying kids! Kids in general actually...


message 934: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) I just got a tweet off James Nash!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOO!!!! (He's a BTCC driver. Before you ask.)


message 935: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) WOO!!! Well done hun :D

I've not had a tweet off anyone like that but then I'm not a mahoosive fan like you :D

P.S - what is your twitter?


message 936: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Lol, it's up to 3 now. I got excited... but not as excited as when I get tweets off Tom Onslow-Cole. :D

@CharmaineElaine is my twitter


message 937: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) Okay, I'll take your word for it that that's a good thing ;P

I just tweeted you! (sorry, simple things :P)


message 938: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Haha! I'm a bit obsessed with Tom. The girls will confirm this. :P

Yay! I love getting tweets (I agree lol.)


message 939: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Tara is blind! I'm just gonna point this out now. How can you not notice??? It's obvious!!! (I'm on about my profile pic)


message 940: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) I... erm... okay then :P


message 941: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Lol. Has no one noticed that I have no specs on???


message 942: by Hayley (last edited Sep 28, 2011 11:09AM) (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) Okay, yes, but how does you not wearing glasses make Tara blind? Are you two linked in some way... this is getting weird for me (too much sugar in the system :P)


message 943: by Char (new)

Char (CharmaineElaine) Well it took her half an hour to notice even though I kept telling her to look. (She's also due a trip to Specsavers...) We're chatting on MSN lol. (Sugar's awesome!) xD

Char (CharmaineElaine) I got put in Twitter Jail!!!! :( I guess I'm officially addicted to it now. Ooops.


message 948: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) @Char - Only you hun ;)

I keep thinking it's a day ahead of wat it should be - today just feels like a Friday and everytime I remember it's not I just go all meh :(

On another topic - I have a pigeon imprint on the outside of my hall window! It's a full on bang where it hit - both wings visible, fat body and small head - you can even make out where the beak left a mark - the thing is that's going to be there until it next rains because there's no way to reach the outside of that window! It just looks hilarious!


message 949: by Rea, Ghost (new)

Rea | 1992 comments Mod
Twitter jail? What is this?

Haha Hayley! That sounds really funny! Poor pigeon, did it survive the impact?
(a jackdaw flew into my house's French patio windows when I was 3 or 4 and the impact broke its neck. My mum and I had to bury the poor thing and the idea of birds flying into windows has traumatised me ever since.)

Onto another topic, my boyfriend's just the best. He's coming home from work early today to just be with me cuz he's worried about me and he's taking the day off work tomorrow - and missing some important meetings - to go with me to the hospital.


message 950: by Hayley (new)

Hayley Stewart (haybop) Twitter jail I believe (not know from experience) is when you tweet too much in a certain time frame and so they ban you from tweeting for a certain amount of time.

I wouldn't know - the back of the flat (where the window is) can't be accessed by me - I hope it survived else there's a dead bird's imprint on my window - like a birdy crime scene :,(

Aww, that's so sweet of him! He deserves a HUGE hug!! Hope the hospital visit goes okay for you tomorrow.
