Kelly, when you say you are a big fan of cubes? what do you mean ? I didnt quite get that?
Yes the web site, is the company I work for.

The store is alot better today, had about 40 workmen in today!!! (nice eye candy!!!)
I have taken some photos will try and put on here over next few days. (of the damage, not the men ! )

Waynes Dad had major surgery 3 months ago, when he was under for over 9hours, his kidneys packed up. This was a kind of expected side effect. However they have never started again, so now he has to go to Oxford about 45 minutes drive away to the hospital 3 times a week for dyalisis( sp?) my spelling is terrible at the mo !!!!
So tomorrow E and I are taking him out to the garden centre for a look around, and a bite to eat. He gets so bored and tired, he was such an active man before, ex Navy, very fit with a mad passion for golf, which he cant now do ( well not for a while anyway)

Hey if Jules is going to stink of Stilton, can we request a table for 9, and bump her and Ian to another table ?????? actually poor Ian, make that a table for 10 !!! Hey Jules, you know im only kidding!
Have you managed to chat with Ian, what does he think?

What do you think about the double eviction on BB? I reckon micheal and spiral will go.
Anyway bye for now..............

Wow Kelly you are sooooo organised! We will have a massive packing list for Florida, but we usually just fold everything into a case the night before. We would have been in our villa 8 nights by the cruise, so we will just re wash and iron then re pack the night before we cruise.
We have hard side cases ( Delsey ones) will they fit under a bed, or is it better to buy a couple of soft type big sports bags? we like Delsey, as they protect you stuff, when the airport guys chuck your cases on and off the plane!

Seeing everyone here knows me pretty well, what do you think to the shows, Should we try and see them all ? We havent seen Hercules, so not too sure we will "get" that. ???? I think Disney Dreams and Golden Mickeys is a must... yes. Elouise will definately want to see the one with all the characters. She loved Beauty and the Beast at MGM, we had to watch it about 3 or 4 times in just 2 days!. Still it was out of the heat and gave our feet a rest.

 

[Lindy Loo]

anyone out there?????

 

[Lindy Loo]

Jules ........... just in case you see this by 8pm, ITV has CRUISES UNDERCOVER on tonight at 8pm till 9pm............ should be interesting!!! not sure if DCL will be on it or not ???

Hi Everyone

Sorry Lida did you think I had deserted you, I'm sorry, bit I'm back now and raring to speak to you all

I did catch the show last night what did you think of it Linda, it was pretty yucky wasn't it - I'm glad that DCL was not mentioned I cant believe that so may people disappear !!

For all our US friends there was a show on last night, which was about bad experiences on cruise ships, basically people getting ill and bad standards, the most shocking part was the number of people who disappear on ships and nothing gets done about it - for example there was a young girl of 15, the barman served her lots of cocktails, her dad managed to find her, takes her back to the cabin and tells her to sleep it off and he will deal with her in the morning, basically she feels unwell, leans over the balcony and falls overboard - never to be seen again !! It said cruise ships do not need to conform to the law, basically they are a law unto themselves, it was a bit shocking !!

Did you see the last ship Linda I think the Sea Princess it looked more like a ferry - Ian says I am a Disney snob

Well anyways - what has everyone been up to ?

Rocky Horror (A cult film, starts with lips singing)

Morning All,

Linda, I have not cruised before so I have not seen any of the shows but I REALLY want to see all of them, especially Hercules. It sounds sooooo... funny. I have been hopeing that they will not stop doing it like they did on the Magic.

I finally got to see the Travel Channel special on the Disney cruise ships last night. It was really cool. Palo looked different than I imagined it. The ship looked sooo... pretty. There was also another show on about the best cruises and it featured the Wonder as the best Family cruise.

Picture Show

I enjoyed all the shows also Jane, they are all really nice. The show that you watched sounds great, it is a shame that we don't get anything like that here it would add to the excitement

 

[Lindy Loo]

* cinema*


Jane, Im so happy DCL are featured as the best family cruise, that makes me very pleases!

Jules wasnt it terrible about the guy on his honeymoon getting "lost" too ! oveboard, never to seen again! Yes some of the cruise liners, did look like ferries!!! Glad DCL wasnt on this show. It was scarey though! All the bugs in the food, in Egypt! Yikes I felt sick WATCHING the programme! No wonder so many people were ill. Im glad DCL insist on hand wipes etc, it must be terrible being stuck in your room, sick! That Norwark virus sounds evil!


We are off on Sat for a week with my mum and dad, so off to start ironing and packing!

 

[saratogagirl]

popcorn

it was awful, like you say especially that guy going overboard !

Where are you off too with your parents, I know you metioned you were all going, bit I cant remember if you said where ?

 

[Lindy Loo]

we are off to Dawlish Warren, in a massive 8 berth caravan, so Jazz can come too!

This is the first time we have all "holidayed" together, my parents treated us, think they wanted time with Elouise!!! Mum keeps saying "you tow can go out, leave E and Jazz with us"! I wish they would come to florida with us, but they say they arent interested. What????!!!! I hear you cry, I know.

Pray for good weather, the forecast says it getting cooler!! No we want to swim on the sea, and use the outdoor pool etc. If it rains it costs ££££££'s in the arcades!

 

[saratogagirl]

that sounds lovely, I am sure you will all have a great time together, and great with Jazz going along too.

I will keep my fingers crossed that the weather stays good, I know what you mean about the arcades, when we go with our friends and it rains, their little one is constantly wanting a pound for the arcade, it must cost you a fortune

 

[SparKeLLy]

Peanut M&Ms (I like mixing them with popcorn!)

Sounds like fun Linda, I'm sure you'll all have a blast.

Had some bad luck yesterday. My florist called to tell me she could no longer do our wedding because she's closing her shop - swell! She said to me "you have plenty of time though to find someone else" Really?! LOL 2 months, not quite plenty. Jacob was a good groom though and went after work to a flower shop he found recently and they have the date booked already but might be able to do ours as well since we don't need much - I hope it works out!!

I watched a cruise show very similar to the one you're talking about. It talked all about disappearances and germs on ships. It was gross. The missing people with no explanation are the ones that creep me out. A guy was at one of the clubs with his friends, goes to the bathroom and never returns and is never seen again.

Peanut Butter

Oh Kely that is bad luck, all you need with only two months ago, hopefully, the florist that Jake went to will come through for you. It will all work out for you I am sure ..

The disappearing thing is creepy isn't it I was a bit freaked too !

-N- Jelly

Sparkelly I am so sorry that your florist bailed on you. She may have thought it was not a big deal but you have allot on your plate right now and the last thing you need is to have to redo somthing that you thought was already done.
mmmmm I know what you mean I used to mix microwave popcorn, m&m's, and mini pretzel twists from the vending machines at work, I called it "lunch"
Alie is leaving tonight to go on a little end of summer trip with her friend Janet (The one that is cruising with us). They are flying to Arizona to stay with Janet's big sister.
80 Days left.

 

[saratogagirl]

Jam

That will be a nice trip for Alie, Jane, tell her I said to have a good time. Your lunch sounds lovely ....

Only 80 days that is mad !!

Dodgers

I have just paid

 

[Lindy Loo]

* bumper cars*


Allie have a great trip!

Jules... isnt it fab when you have paid................ kind of means things are getting close!!!


Wont be on for a while now, as ive choosen not to take the laptop, so we can all spend real family time togther. Ive even packed Monopoly!! so after a few glasses of wine, our caravan might geet quite competitve ( I always want Mayfair, so Wayne always tries to get it too, so he can "bargain" with me) Sorry you guys, do you know what monopoly is ?? Its a famous UK Board game, ages old now, but still v popular. You go around a board landing on places in London, like "old kent lane" or "Park Lane" ( Park lane and Mayfair are the most expensive) once you land on them you can buy them, ,when you have a whole Set, (about 3 places of the same colour) you an buy houses or hotels to build on your land. Then if another player lands on your property they have to pay you to "stay".... you can also land on things like "go to jail" etc, where you have to trow a double 6 to get out. Sounds weird, now im explaining it, honest it can be fun for an hour or two!

 

[SparKeLLy]

Carnival

for your final payment Jules! I can't believe it's almost August already!!

Linda yeah we have Monopoly - the patented version originated in Pennsylvania USA during the Depression. Your names are different though of course, we have the Boardwalk, Park Place, Pacific Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, etc. I play Monopoly Jr. with my nephew. Jacob and I prefer Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, and I really like LIFE! Who am I kidding...I love all board games.

RODEO
(My town has a carnival/rodeo coming up soon in August)

Hi!
I am SO glad that it is Friday. I was quite tired this morning and need a day to sleep late!
I am keeping busy at work and the weather here continues to be very hot. I could sure use a refreshing cool breeze off the ocean as we sail out to sea! (Just doing a bit of daydreaming. )

Kelly, Sorry about the flower situation! I hope you will be happier with the new florist.

Linda, we will look forward to hearing all about you trip! I hope you have a great time.

Alie, Have tons of fun on your trip!
