"YABBER-LINER" - ALL ABOARD

Hey hey crew

OH MY! I made it to Essex and am sitting here with FQ (bliss) - got here around 9pm last nite and we talked til 3.30!!!!!! There's a thing. Laughed a lot and FQhubby made us consider ordering multiple supplies of incontinence pads. Roared with laughter - "tits out" - ask no questions, tell no lies. It's been fabulous. Didn't go bed til 4.30am and then SLEPT SLEPT SLEPT!!!!!!!!!! Must've had 7 hours - got up - took it easy - FQ's family visited - I had baby cuddles........... ohhhhhhhhhhhhh this beautiful beautiful little girl - older kiddie was poorly bless her - but we had a fab time and are now chilling.

FQ sends love to all - she's verra sleepy right now. Oh.......... it's been so lovely.

I AM SO HAPPY! Such a great time.



I cannot thank Barry enough for his kindness whilst I visited. Over and beyond - he was very generous and is such a gent. Thanku Bazza. x

Leaving tomorrow to go back home - back to reality.



hey ho!



BLUE - Oh I have missed you! How happy to see you flying by - so near, and yet so far a?! oh oh oh... you are such a GIT. xox x



BEAgle - gosh - well done youhun, you have been keeping the ship afloat here - where in the world is everyone? - busy busy busy by the looks of it. Normality will return tomorrow - will be onboard and we can dance on the deck again love. So glad all is good with you. x


Will try and pop back a little later. Hoping all are OK and enjoying the weekend. Love y'all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hey good to hear you are ok and have had a great weekend X

quite the whirlwind weekend miz iz, sounds like lots of fun

Hi Izzie, a beautiful morning here, hope the weather is kind to you too. Nice to hear you made it safely to FQ (say hi & hug please) and having such a fabulous time. Don't rush back to reality, make it last, and above all take care. Wondering about some of you statements, curious but dare not ask but if you roared with laughter it must have been good.

Oh Oh and Oh

It's been such a lovely day - FQ and hubby have gone to zzzzzz now - bro needs to be up at 5 and FQ at 6 !!!!!!!!! Moi - will be setting off as and when.

oh, you know, there is no-one in the world that I could sit beside or lie on the floor with comparing who has the most hideous tummy in the world - we have just been non stop blethering and acting like 5 year olds. It's just been the best tonite

and the greatest thing is - it's FQ's birthday on Sunday and she is driving down to Devon on Thursday and we are gonna spend the weekend together.

Daughter J took her photography AS Level today - she thinks it went well - she's such an incredible wee photographer - really has the eye. She's gonna go far in her profession. Daughter A is also back at school so I didn't get to see them this weekend - but hopefully at half term we'll all get to spend time together as a family.

It really has been such a wonderful weekend - I don't want it to end.




Tulip - will call you tomorrow and if you're around will pop in for a cuppa on the way back from here - ping me on my mobile if you're around OK.

DjjD - hope you had a great weekend - how are all the blooms - colourful in your parts now - how are TC and MrFixit - have they settled in to the school house?

BEAgle - ha - you would have roared too - bro has the loudest voice in the world.... it's the only time in FQ's marriage that when he "commands" - she "obeys"..... yeah, not even going there - but boy, I am so proud of my bro and everything he stands for. FQ hugs you back - your ears must've been burning - she has soft spot for the Aussie Boy!

Have missed yabbering with y'all and telling you my every "thing" - but - it's kinda good to get out into the real world and realise I don't have to be a recluse. Feel as tho I just wanna go and meet all of you - you know, people I feel real safe with, not just any folk, but you guys. People I trust and who I can myself with - does that make sense.

oh oh and oh........... 'tis all I can say really - can't wait to start the next chapter now.


Blue - hugging you babe.

Veggie - how are you sweet girl? All OK?

Missy - bet you had a busy time with the folks and parties and all - missed ya smiling face.

Horrendous. It's raining too - so, not gonna be the best of journeys but havta get back in time to pick the little fella up from the school bus. mmmmmmmmm. Hey ho - it's been a fab weekend - so, little bit of music, bag of Pear Drops and away.......... first of all, gotta find my car, bro parked it up the road SOMEWHERE - ha - that should be fun trying to find it!

Morning Izzie, happy to see you home safe and sound, haven't had much sleep yet, have you? How far is the trip from FQ to home? Little fella happy to see you, I'll bet he was! Now we want to see some pictures of the highlights of your trip, no doubt you made a few......

What are you talking about Alex, are you becoming a 'bikie'? Just the other day nearly a thousand 'bikies', Hells Angels, Bandido's, Rebels and a host of others, roared past my house on a protest run. They are being outlawed in this Country and they don't like it.

That was a quick edit Izzie.

Hey BEAgle -looks like there's a lot folksies away on shoreleave - or we've anchored up. Hope are all OK. I am wasted- need to sleep now - double tabs and got be up at 6.30 for the school run. Cant keep my eyes open to yabber - so.............. aplogies darling, I'ma off to bed Have so many pics but no hance to download yet.
