CAMPYLOBACTER: Anyone else had it?

[Space Chick]

Good evening Em

 

I have just come back from my Community meeting, it was like the community meetings in the Vicar of Dibly

 

On the plus side our lovely Community Police officer has confirmed that crime has fallen in my area by 50% over the past 12 months and the council are taking forward my suggestion for a mini roundabout at a busy junction

 

I'm a pillar of the community me

Heyy Debs

I've always wanted to go to a community meeting like the ones on Vicar of Dibley. I love the Vicar of Dibley

[Lewis]

We've made the gingerbread house - I think it should have an eglu and chickens in the garden!

 

Me + brother got all the decorations out of the loft - not allowed to put them up yet though

[Lewis]

I like the new avatar Koojie

 

Lewis is off to bed .. only 1.45 hours of lessons tomorrow, but I still have to be in normal time - think we're going to get some free Hippodrome tickets in the afternoon though

 

Night

[Chickvic]

Morning all I like the new avatar too Koojie, I might change mine - you can't see what it is properly. It's chickens pulling a chicken in a Santa hat.

[Valkyrie]

I can see the chickens pulling the sleigh, but I thought it was Santa leaning forward, Chicky.

 

I thought old Grinchy was a perfect me - bah humbug! Oh I suppose I could have done Scrooge. Er, Erin helped. I chose the piccy!

 

Morning all and what a dark one it is too. Well at least it's dry so far - give it until 8 when I let the girls out and then - swooosh deluge!

[Chickvic]

Going to buy Christmas cards today, see if I can beat DH's rotten one from last year!

[Valkyrie]

You get one from DH? Wow, can't remember the time when mine actually went and found one, the twit.

[Chickvic]

We have a challenge to find the cheapest card with husband or wife on. Last year mine had a 'lovely' poinsetta on the front, all I managed to get was a robin on a postbox for him. Makes it more fun to find a rubbish card

 

Aww Koojie, does he not notice it's Christmas?

[Valkyrie]

No wonder I'm in bah humbug mode - thing is, he likes playing the Christmas songs - shudder shudder, although I like the Fairytale of New Yorky thingy. I think it's when she says "Merry Christmas you so and so" applies so well!

[Scramble]

You do make me laugh Koojie

 

Afternoon everyone

Well, I've re-awakened Flappy from last year ... now we're all christmas crazy people.

 

...Hippodrome...

Take Pippo with you...all packed into that Hippocrate

 

Seems I don't make any important additions to this thread...oh well.

I'm off to do some homework.... see you later

[Geoid]

I just cycled home, in hail, lots and lots of rain, I am soaked

[Chickvic]

Aww poor Fred, jump in the shower and get some pj's on - always makes me feel better! That and the chocolate

[Scramble]

Aww, poor Fred

Aww poor Fred, jump in the shower and get some pj's on - always makes me feel better! That and the chocolate

I completely agree!

 

Although when I was younger and me and my sister walked home from primary school there was always this puddle that the cars drove through and splashed us

We used to watch harry potter films when we got home to make us feel better

[Valkyrie]

Went to a place with my neighbour and we spent ages there. I have managed to find some more things for the Christmas tree - Jelly Belly candy canes (with sizzling cinnamon - my favourite) and some more little things. Bought mum a yard of Scottish shortbread - if I get some Ferrero Roche chocs she'll be all set! I so wanted to write Ferrari then.

We drove home in really awful weather - dashed into the garden with the girls corn (they'd gone to bed), so they ran out for some food and went back to bed. In the time that it took to get down the garden and back up again the rain had gone through my jacket and the rain was dripping down my trousers and wetting my knickers - I managed to wait until I got wet again by shutting the girls in for the night and retrieving the food, then dashed upstairs to change. My bum is all warm now! Ahhhh.

His lordship is away until Friday, Erin is late at college, Muz is at his mums and I have the house to myself. Whoo hoo! Trouble is I feel so sleepy. Will hide pressies before Muz gets home. I have tested his mug - it's so clever although it looks dark brown and the writing is in black so you can see it, but when it has warm water in it, the brown turns to white and the black writing turns blue. Brilliant! So I have bought him a jam spoon - well, for someone to give him - probably Ciaran because he forgets - or is too lazy. I also bought a jam/sweet thermometer because they haven't got any around here (humbug). I made some fudge a couple of nights ago - just finished it. Oink! Still looking for that perfect squidgey chewy fudge - at least I can check the temperature instead of watching the colour change.

Evening all

 

Phil wants to buy a peanut butter maker

 

All this talk of Christmas cards, Phil has never sent me a card....ever....not even a birthday card.... or an anniversary card. His logic is he can just wish me a Happy *insert occasion here* so why does he need to waste his money on a card

 

Off to make tea now, before I get interviewed by the police

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That had you panicking then didn't it......... its OK, as a respected member of the community *cough*, the police want to interview me on what I think should be their priorities next year

 

I'm rather looking forward to it

[Valkyrie]

Golden opportunity Debs - good luck.

[clootie]

Hope you've got a list prepared Debs.

[Space Chick]

Well that was fascinating.

 

They really listened to my opinions. In fairness, I live in a very low crime area, but as with every area in the UK there are always a few problematic issues. They will feedback in February on the progress

 

However, the neighbours opposite had visitors leaving as the police were leaving my house, you should have seen the look on their faces

[Space Chick]

OK my husband is now doing my head in

 

Solve an argument here.............

 

Trifle - is it better with or without sponge? I am talking here about trifles with jelly, custard and cream.

[Chickvic]

DH says with but I prefer it without which is no help whatsoever

[Lewis]

at the neighbours visitors!

 

Tell him he should get a peanut butter maker - we were looking at them in our frees today, was it red and £30?

 

Went to town to get the free tickets and then some speakers to replace the ones they blew at the charity event. We got some good ones, delivered to school, but the teachers have to get involved and tell the company they should be contracted to come in every few weeks to sort out sound problems .... its the first problem we've had in 7 years at the school + we've sorted it

 

Oh ... and with sponge

[Space Chick]

Interesting initial voting. I will wait for a few more responses before I reveal who sits in which camp in this house

 

Yes, it was red and £30 Lewis

[Lewis]

I think you'll like sponge

 

I thought it looked good, not sure it was worth £30 though - never made PB though.

[Space Chick]

I think you'll like sponge

 

 

I am not at liberty to say until more votes are in........

 

We have just rang my sister and her husband to get their views
