*relaxes* Ahhhhhh its almost friday

[rhysd2]

Evening all how are you all on this dark evening?

havent been about this week much due to HELLLLISH evil things going on with various things at work so figured i'd see how you are all doing and if your all relaxing.

im currently playing majhong on the web and listening to music, chilling out before i go pick my dear wife up from her late shift at the hospital. and no doubt when i get back we'll be watching finding nemo as i just bought her a new copy on dvd(last copy developed a scratch that prevents large chunks from playing) so she'll be bouncing around like dori no doubt.

by the way a few people wanted to say hi to you all.

(I meant the picture rather than you, Rhys )

Yes indeed, thank Crunchie it is nearly Friday!

 

[UKANGEL]

ooooooooooooooh they're SO cute!

hi to you and yours........I'm snatching a few minutes on the net while Mark constructs some furniture for DD

 

[rhysd2]

hehe they thank you for your compliments

most of those were bought from the disney store over the past year. however the REALLY big one you see at the back i won from a arcade machine in lyme regis, the bagpuss i won in weston, and one of the other eeyores i won in weston im a dab hand with those claw machines.

woohooo fixed the image. and i made my eeyore my avatar hes a mischevious lil eeyore. Jessica my wife bought me him for my bday

 

[Miffy2003]

I'm rubbish with those claw machines Any tips?? "The claw......the claw......!!"

I love Lyme Regis

 

[rhysd2]

umm tips.......... ummm lol

basically i just look for one or two that arent to clumped together and have their bums in the air. its common for people to go for their heads but most of their weight and size is in their bums. so if you grab that bit of them they are less likely to fall out the claw as its the bigger end and their more balanced.

dont go for ones tightly clumped together and ones on their own. 3 or 4 loose together enables you to use 3 to move one so its bum is in the air.

etc etc hehehe hope that helps

Looking forward to the weekend too!

[rhysd2]

as you can guess love the eeyores, my alltime fav character, hubby thinks i am eeyore. cant wait for friday either. i, ve just survived my first week at university which is scary when your nearly 40! gill

 

[Madjock]

My daughter is an Eyeore nut so I'll have to show her this this evening.

So you're a bum man then but I don't think you want to go on about that being the bigger end too much

Happy Friday

what course are you doing at university? and dont be scared. i had a 58 year old on my course when i did it your never to old to learn.

and LOL no not a bum man just the easiest way to grab them is all and its only the bigger end on cuddely toys

 

[Miffy2003]

Thanks for the advice Rhys I'll try it and let you know if "bum grabbing" works for me I may not try it out in town tomorrow though LOL

 

[rhysd2]

ROFL no only try it on cuddely toys in the claw machines!

 

[mumloveseeyore]

thanks for the encouragement, im doing a course in operating department practice. Gill

 

[rhysd2]

you're more than welcome. one piece of advice i will offer,

its a common thing when you start a course to go in all guns blazing and doing shedloads of work and assignments a million pages long. Dont do that because you will burnout and lose motivation.

Instead read the grading critera carefully and do whats required to get the top grade instead of going overboard and still only getting the same grade.

believe me i learnt this the hard way heh.

oh and we added a new eeyore to our collection at the weekend. we went down to st Ives in cornwall for a day trip and there was a winnie the pooh shop there. and lo and behold a new eeyore was out. with rough stitching round his edges and a stitched patch on his belly. will post a pic tonight if i get a chance. i also won a fish that looks remarkably like nemo(not an official disney one unfortunatly) from a claw machine only cost me 40 pence too heh.

 

[mumloveseeyore]

cant wait to see pics of new eeyore, we have a couple of standard ones but im hoping to add to thecollection in disney. The course seems ok so far, ive started thinking about asignments but thats as far as it goes!

 

[rhysd2]

sorry i've been hella busy at work. heres our new eeyore
