It all seems a bit disjointed this evening
so here's the welcome mat to draw in the stragglers of the weekend.



I've spent most of the afternoon asleep or dosing in front of House M.D and still feel tired now, so not sure how much I'll be posting on here. Feel less like shit though and have the hungries, so will endeavour to make food in a bit.

How is everyone?

Hurrah
I was just thinking about doing that.
How are you feeling now Becks?

Evenin' Becks!
I'm feeling a little better too... Just forced some food down, hoping that'll perk me up a bit!

Just saw your new pic on facebook, liking the blondeness!

EDIT: HELLOOOO, Liveinabin!

Hey becks
Glad you're up and about again.
*hug*

My tattoo is at the itchy as buggery stage and slightly scabby stage. Trying not to think about it.

*edit*
and the blonde looks fine!

Oh Becks and DiT
have some biscuits from earlier to help you get over the poorlies.

@DiT
I got some geometric polynesian on the inside of my forearm. Need to put get some batteries for my camera or I would post a pic. Looks really good though.
It's my first for some six years and I've got the old addiction back.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 20:42, Reply)

Excellent!
I'm still looking to get a big polynesian mask on my leg, and a half sleeve on my right arm!

'Allo, ancrenne! I dunno what's up with me, but I am beginning to feel rejuvinated!

I can imagine that
if I turn up to a bash without biscuits there will be a lynching.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Tue 26 Aug 2008, 20:45, Reply)

Sounds good
Think my next project may be 3 or 4 smaller polynesian masks up the outside of my forearm gradually over a few months.

Feeling a lot better than I was earlier thanks, but think my addiction to House might take over again. It's just sooooo good.

Lo Ethelred
I'm trying to work out if I can afford to come to your minibash as I anticipate being skint for the foreseeable future and wont be going b3ta camping. Will have to say for definite closer to the time, but signs point to yay.

Who else thinks cheese on toast would be a bad idea considering I puked this morning? Other feeding options being toast, lasagne or bread?
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 21:00, Reply)

@Ethelred
I'm good thanks.
Got all week off work for a chill out. Went into town for a bit, pottered around on here and made a lully cassarole

@becky
Unsurprisingly I vote for lasagne.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 21:03, Reply)

When I was a lad
my mum would feed me steamed fish when I was sick.

Which probably isn't an option for you, Becky.

My sister, on the other hand, used to get toast and jam when she was sick. This was fine, as I like fish, and she doesn't; also I think toast should only have savoury toppings.

But apparently toast and jam (or toast on jam, as we'd say up here) is sick-safe food.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 21:04, Reply)

not sure
Cheese would be a good idea at first. Try toast then go from there?

Thats ok Becks, I'll save you a drink :)

How are we?

I've missed you today. I've been a busy tulip. But I did get a pay-rise, so consider this an invitation to slurp b3tafizz with me.

*pours b3tafizz for all*

edit@becky - this is utterly sick-safe fizz poppet. and here, have some dry toast as well.

*guzzles*
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 21:06, Reply)

Porage
Or Porridge.
Either way only made with Scotts Porage Oats.

Ooh I forgot I was told by rabbit sitting neighbour
that coca cola can be good for settling the stomach. *clinks b3tafizz*

It's years since I last had dry toast, but will give it a try and see what happens...yay science in action ,)

Edit: Feeeesh? Have you any idea of how expensive fish is now K2k6? I have none anyway and not lumbering down to the shops as I cant be arsed. I think I have some jam, but don't really fancy it.

Edit2: Fabulousness HLT, what you gonna spend it on?

Hello !
Can't stop too long as I have my youngest sister stopping over tonight.

@Becky - flat lemonade is best for poorly stomach. 7-up or sprite would do.
( girlinthehole, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 21:11, Reply)

Yes, fish is expensive
but I like it. It's a quirk of modern fish raising methods that salmon can cost less than haddock. But it's still not cheap.

I didn't expect you to have any in the fridge, Becky. It's not the sort of thing one keeps just in case!

Edit - Evening and congrats, Miss Tulip!

Hmm...one bite of dry toast
was enough to convince me that it's evil and chewy. So I put the tiniest bit of soya butter on it and so far nothing has come up. Gone for flat coke as it's all I have right now and then I'm back on the water again.

Night HLT xx

I'm just back from getting a back massage from a friend, which was useful since my back got monumentally ruined at work today by lifting a huge amount of wood up some stairs and into the store room. What fun.

In better news, I found out that I haven't taken enough holidays this summer, so am getting paid holidays for two weeks in a couple of weeks time. Then I leave. SWEET!

How are we all? Good to see you made it back safely Ancrenne and Kaol.

But the doing stuff once I got places was excellent.

Obviously, as a full-grown strapping fine-figure of a man, I'm not _afraid_ of spiders. I maintain a healthy wariness about them.

Not just free holidays - PAID holidays, which I don't have to go back after, which is grand. I have no real plans, apart from just moving more stuff up to my flat. I considered using the time to buy a piano and get better at it again, but probably won't.

Hoorah for my back feeling better. It's amazing.
