Wakey wakey, Westfield and Sir Wogan of The Terry
Westfield this morning whilst Tash and sis number one shop for "power clothes" XXX.
Liv has just bagged her first big job with GSK so now needs the attire to rule.
Never been before, my my what an enormous space, actually much more impressive than I imagined and it was empty - perfect, people can sometimes spoil a place.
Been ordered on parade at midday to shoot the Terry and Aled video for this year, apparently they're making me dress up. Seein' as it's for the kids - alright then.
Loose Ends on Radio 4 tomorrow, heard they go out for a jar or two afterwards - could be interesting.
Crackpot's last day today, we love him.
Have a fab weekend y'all.

Morning.....
Don't mention shopping, that's where I should be right now......(food not clothes, although I hate doing both!)
We've got the first guests coming this weekend, my folks are coming down when they fly back in from holiday for the boy's Birthday on Monday. Which means I'll have to find somewhere else for the remaining three boxes of 'stuff' that is still homeless or we would all be albe to sit round the table!!!!
Right I'm off before my motivation completely deserts me.........
Too late, there it goes!!!!

The supermarcardo where I got aforementioned 'scription was full to bursting of ickle dahlinks getting Hallowe'en stuff (half term innit!) and there were several ickle girl dressed as fairies. I thought how fantabulous it would be to be able to go to Wickerman's shop dressed as a fairy! All pink and sparkly and fairyish. Wonderful!! I'd glide round the aisles giving it some bipperty-boppety-boo in my pink fluffy halo and pink fairy tutu ...... oh yeh baby!
I couldn't resist temptation .... so now fully loaded with 2 giant pumpkins, loadsa sweeties for the trickley treaters and some red sparkly glitter devil horns.

My 7 year old son asked if I would take him trick or treating this Saturday when he is round at my house. No, I said. Why not he said. Because it's an American thing and it means nothing to me so nor should it to you. It's demanding money/treats with menaces and I don't agree with it, I said. Oh, he said. His mother is picking him up on Saturday night for 2 hours of trick or treating - probably dressed as a witch - shouldn't take much effort in her case! Bah humbug or whatever the equivalent is at Halloween.

I don't mind the little ones that come to the door with a parent in tow, but it's the 15 year olds who bang on the door at 10 pm and demand in a very gruff tone Trick or Treat and then proceed to terrorise you into signing the house over.

Well now.
Have just popped out to the bank, pay the papers, etc. And was sat at traffic lights behind a Fiat with 2 dangly things in the back window. One, SMALL DUDE ON BOARD. Two, PRINCESS ON BOARD. Growled and dribbled a bit, but no problem. However. Lights change, off we go, suddenly said driver pulled straight out to turn right, no indication, nothing. And nearly got smacked from the rear by another car in the process.
Now, do forgive me, but if she'd been hit, that would've technically been the other driver's fault. Except I'd have bin' a witness. So I'd like to say this to all drivers with dangly things obscurin' your rear view. I DON'T GIVE A MONKEYS THAT YOU HAVE A PRINCESS ON BOARD. I DO care, however, that you jeopardise their safety because you can't bloody see outa your back window.
GRRRRRR.

Hi CLP, Tash, Noah and All
Deev - hope you feel betterer soon. Maybe you should dress up as this sparkly fairy and you may get some magic fairy dust sprinkled upon you from above and then you will feel all better. I used to have a glitter box and when my daughter fell over and hurt her knee or something I used to sprinkle the glitter over and say it was magic fairy dust that my Gran had received from a fairy long ago and it always worked, is that a placebo?!
Nic - I think the term is bah pumpkin, but really think you should chill out a bit, and maybe go dook for some apples (is this a Scottish term?)....relax, and poor son of Nic :(!!! Me thinks ex Mrs Nic has had lucky escape!!! Provacative? Me? yes!!!
Chris and team - I have an idea for the last week of Drivetime, how about doing the top tenuous for Jonny, Foxy, Sal and of course Chris, Monday to Thursday???

And don't talk to ME about the Trick Or Treats, Nic and Deev.
I've given up on battin' 'em off whilst Renee sits ragin' in 'er chair. Instead I had the marvellous idea of keepin' a box a sweets near the door and the full witch's outfit; you know, if yous can't beat 'em.. So there I was, false big wrinkly nose, trick warts, moles with hair stickin' out and the hat with the straggly hair. Revoltin'. Unfortunately at the first knock I leapt up, grabbed me hat and flung open the door.. to be greeted by my niece, who looked at me in delight and said, "Hiya!! Oh, sorry, have I caught you on your way out?"
Bloody cheek.

Son of Nic is not poor; in fact he probably has more money than his father...lol...if you knew her, you wouldn't say she'd had a lucky escape. I will be taking him to fireworks and bonfire anyway - much more civilised and British - about burning Catholics isn't it?!

I agree about Halloween - Bah Pumpkin indeed. Fortunately I live in an apartment block so won't be bothered by the little darlings.
I happened to be staying with my friend in the States one Halloween and they do it so much better than us. All the families and kids go out about 5 o'clock dressed up with their little pumpkin baskets ready for the treats. No tricks are ever played (well at least not in her neighbourhood). They then go back to their house and if the porch light is on then you can knock if it isn't then they know to move to the next house - simple.
I was given the task of handing out the treats, I think they were more excited about my English accent than the sweets..LOL.

Well based on a conversation I had with my son last night, he does indeed have, or at least, intend to have, more money than me as he asked me what I would like him to buy me when he is grown up. I replied an Aston Martin please and he said, ok dad I will buy you that. Bless him!
Let's just say that my ex and I are both quite happy with the current arrangement, as is son and heir as he gets the best of both worlds.

Ah Chris, I just love dressing up! I've just changed my profile pic on FB to one of me dressed as a pumpkin exackerly one year today.
I love the thought that Hallowe'en and Bonfire Night and then you-no -sorry-know-what are just around the corner; the thing is it just doesn't darn-well feel COLD enough.
Have had a mixed week, stayed with boleynmother for first half, dealt with boleynteen2, who is currently in a "hellish zone" for the latter. Am feeling bowed with duty and hankering for some fun.
Anyhoo, off (finally!) to the wisecracking rip-off merchant, sorry wedding photographer, to give him our final order for the album. It's only taken us three months!

Alib, are you sure we're not the same person? I too feel like that about Hallowe'en. Trick or treat is actually ILLEGAL. REALLY HONESTLY. Check if you don't believe me. Bloody american nonsense. With a small 'a'.
Having said that, love, love pumpkins. Always make sure I've got one in the kitchen, just so I can say 'its a bit of a squash in here'.

This is it. No, sorry, I'm not leaving, seems this is the title of a film featuring the late MJ, about the tour called, erm, This is it, which, erm, was it. Or wasn't. As it happened. Or rather, didn't.
Oh, you know what I mean.
$20m at the box office on day 1.
They say death sells. Look at the stats. OK, these are rather old stats, but you get the picture.
2006. $50m Kurt Cobain, thank you very much.
2006. $42m Elvis. Faaaannnnnguveryymusscch, goodnight.
2006. $35m Charles Schulz. Peanuts compared with those two.
2006. $24m John Lennon. Imagine earning that much?
Anyway. So Jackson is trousering a few quid. Funny that, wasn't he broke when he 'died'?
A few million quid winging their way to a newly built compound in the back garden of some Arab squillionaire by any chance?
Today has been another one with excess driving in comparison to work actually achieved, but hey ho, it is now the weekend. As I said before, not alot going on for the next two days other than more damn running - my feet, hips, back and sanity can't take anymore, but the small matter of 26 miles in April won't go away - some more relaxing cooking - I feel a curry coming on - and a wee bit of actual relaxation.
Don't forget, Green Day on Wossy later.

it's a family joke Rips - our ex neighbours had their first date at legoland (both single parents at the time) and at their wedding, the best man turned it into legover land. it worked for them - they've had 3 kids since getting hitched!

Afternoon gang
What a morning! Was in town by 9. I only needed to go into 3 shops - little did I know that 2 of them don't actually open til half nine .... on a Saturday!?!?! Hello ..... hicksville!?!?!
Then did ELH. Ugh! Hate it with a passion.
Home. Got the curry on for tonight's dinner, carved me pumpkin out - well scary mary! Now sat down for the first time since getting up at seven to watch (most of) the Arsenal/Spurs game.
Schoolgirl error - haircut at half two which means I'll miss the end of the game, but barnet needs desperate attention, as do me nails.
Oooooooooooooooh - I treated myself to some lovely dramatic red costume jewellery which will make its debut in Loverpool next Saturday nite. So me dahlinks!
And .... drum roll please ...............
I HAVE PUDSEY EARS!!!
Now have a stooopid ickle black cat looking at me with those "i love you mum!" eyes of hers. So adoreble!
Right, off to hide behind the sofa - part and parcel of being a Gooner!

SORRY FOR SHOUTING. GONE A BIT DEAF. FLEETWOOD MAC VeRY GOOD BUT BIT LOUD!!
Ooo that's better.
Can't remember who else went to see them but they were right, it was great! As Lindsay Buckingham said, they don't have anything new out so every one was a classic. Loved the Chain, felt like Jenson was doing that victory lap round the room.
And Oh Miss Diva, what you would have given for Miss Stevie Nicks wardrobe? possibly a right arm or two? She wore black velvet and chiffon, corsets and elbow length fingerless gloves, one pair leather and red, nay, crimson silk and lace. All finished off with a tambourine and mike stand festooned with ribbons and beads and fol-de-rols and of course, the final touch, a black silk top hat!! At least 4 changes!!
Definately the best way to spend Halloween!!
Now catching up with Stirctly in peace and quiet. Big advantage to recording it is fast forwarding through the links!
Is pouring here so think the rest of the day will be collecting boys then curling up watching boy1's new Twilight DVD.

Good afternoon nearly everyone from an old lost soul in Dorset. Weather is abating here and the sun is attempting to beat the clouds in.
MTF nice holiday.... hope you are well rested - love those red kites too - such majesty in flight.
I had 3 visits of children last night but they were in large batches so inbetween my short stop at home for 20 mins dished out my cache of sugar free lollipops to about 20 and then off I went to deepest darkest Stur for a ladies party... nice lot of costumes out and about and no bad stuff seen either.
I know, I know not been around much but access to the bbc message board isn't possible from my G1 mobile much though I have tried. Might reinstate my twitter and use that.

Beeb One good tonight 10.20 Fleetwood Mac followed by Clapton and Winwood. Seen before probably but never mind.
Still not dented ironing pile!! Looks the same as when I started ages ago ! Can't say I ever enjoy it Bridge cos I never seem to finish it!
Billie - most 60's songs remind me of my teenage years - hard to pick one out there were so many good ones!
Good to see you managed to pop on again Phoenix - long time no blog.
Tea break over - back to the steam! Oh Joy!

Seza/MTF will be back to join you in slurp later xx

Phew!!!
I made it!! Am typing to you (on a proper keyboard) from our very old, previously mothballed desktop 'puter, which hadn't been booted up for 6 months, and previously couldn't be connected to broadband as it had no wireless facility and the signal wouldn't reach.
So, adapter fitted, ethernet bridge fitted, 47 windows updates, and a complete antivirus reinstallation later, and here I am!!
Have also managed to retrieve over 2000 photos and docs from the laptop and got them stored on the external drive (think we lost about 10%, but better than all of them)!
I'm now too tired to type though! Oh, and haven't eaten all day, and need a shower as I've been crawling around on the floor rather to much for my liking! At least I didn't missed any good weather....
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday!
Brilliant F1 race - watched whilst transferring files.

There are some Rat Bags around you know around .
My two young grandboys had their Pumpkin stolen from INSIDE their Porch last evening .
The villians had gone up the path ,opened the porch door and made off with it ,only to be found by freinds on their way home smashed up along the road .
Daughter was most upset for boys co's she was carrying on the event this evening indoors for them as they are parents that care .
Tell you something I hope that made them there THUGS HAPPY .

Evening
I went to Waitr0se earlier - get this - wearing my pink fluffy slipper socks Bids gave us in Brizz! My toes were oh so cosy toesey so I just put my boots on over them.
It's a slippery slope from hereon in ....! But I did get a key lime pie for afters.
Billie - as for one song to remind me of being a teen - impossible! So many different tunes form the soundtrack to my teen years - all 1981-1986 really. From The Human League, Duran Duran, Soft Cell, thru to endless plays of Dear Or Alive's You Spin Me Round in the 6th Form Common Room.
Happy Dayz!
For now = the dumplings need to go in!

hi all
Is there anything better then having your music on, curled up with a book and a happy cat?
Bids - thats not right - poor your grandsons
Done my ironing and raked all the leaves today as well as lunch with the inlaws so doing well!
Now I just need some supper but too comfy to go and make it and Mr bp is at work - so I guess I will stave then

Having met Bids adorable grandsons, I can see their little faces and can imagine how downhearted they must have been.
They, however will grow up with a sense of what is right and what is wrong whereas the pumpkin smashers, probably come from a home were no-one cares or maybe even knows where or what they are upto.
So, the winners are, well Bids lovely boys.
Send them my love Bids.

Wow MTF thought my roast was good. We'll be round for leftovers tomorrow!
Have ironed the uniform & handed it out to relevent wearers, I've sorted out all the rest of the laundry so I've got a huge pile to put away & another huge pile to iron but I'm not doing anything more tonight.
The rest can wait.
