done the washing up, shit on the telly, how was everyones weekend?
Everybody in love
Not been out on a bike for 3 days now, whole weekend got mucked up over plans to unload children for half term that fell through, was a bit grumpy.
But if I look out the window I can watch MrsMDTC bouncing on the kids trampoline, and that always makes me smile. (And probably does the same for the neighbours)
why on earth have you shat on the telly?
recommend the fort william coverage on www.mtbworldcup.com

I rode in the Jura - 3 hour sat, 5 hours today, got a silly tan, drank coffee by the lake, perved judiciously, went to parties fri/sat night and had a completely ****ing ace weekend. Sorry.
I fell off on Saturday, got cut on my elbow, no perving, ace party at a mates, hung over today.
not bad
I did naff all. Parents are over so took off work from Weds til now. Wandered round Munich on Weds, spent most of the day in hospital on Thurs, then in the car on Friday. Yesterday went to Neuschwanstein castle only to find it a tourist hell-hole and two hours to wait til a guided tour so we came home. Today was better, art gallery followed by coffee.
Bit stressed, driven far too far in an uncomfortable van now Lil Grips is not going to sleep well and it's about to thunder like blazes.
Sorry mboy, looks like tonights show has just finished!
why in hospital Molly?
My dad had another one of his attacks of atrial fibrilation. Happens every few years or so, usually at Christmas tho.. but my presence seems to be one of the trigger factors!
Oh, hope he's OK!
BEen visiting cynic-mum in hospital
i babysat my grandaughter on friday/saturday.
i bought her a big paddling pool and pretended to be a island laid in the middle of it, while she climbed all over me and tipped water on my head.
i went to a stonking real ale pub in leeds last night ( the palace)
sampled 3 nice pales. then i went for tapas.
i laid on the settee most of today watching the downhill stuff from nevis.
it has been a ok weekend.
i would die for a weekends riding tho............ 🙁
Yeah he's ok emsz cheers. He has a few things that he has to look after. Hopefully I'll remain indestructable when I get older...
How come you're not riding ton?
Cynical, hope she's Ok?
Sorry mboy, looks like tonights show has just finished!
Tis ok, just give me a postcode for next Sunday night... How much is the entry fee by the way, and is the first drink free? 😉
Anyway, spent Saturday afternoon popping down to Bristol, went to the bikefest for a bit, and also took my ex to see her friend in Frenchay (mountain biking accident funnily enough!), spent some time catching up with her too and having a laugh, then off to my mates for the evening for some snacks and lounge about outside catching up. Then today went on a short bike ride with her, and managed to clear a climb I normally have to resort to a granny ring on but managed to do it all on a single 32T up front this time! Minor victory to me... 😀
emsz............i have been in AF since october.
owt steeper than a kurb leaves me in a gasping cold sweating mess.
Hope your ma is ok Al. And your dad molgrips.
Spent all day yesterday in the swimming pool with my kids. Bad dad forgot to put suntan lotion on. My eldest looks like he's been on a barbecue. 😳
Went to a crap christening today. It wasn't crap because it was Christian, it was crap because the vicar was a prat, rushed through it and couldn't be arsed to remember the kids names etc. Party after was good though.
Ton, did they try rebooting you?
Go on put your hands up.
they did mate, about a month ago, it failed.
seeing the consultant in 10 days to see what is the next step.
Presumably you've had all the drugs...
I worked all weekend and when I finally got my bike out today, got soaked. Back to work tomorrow, happy days!
Went with mrs bjj and our dog rogue to his first dog show today. Did really well considering mrs bjj openly admitted that she doesn't have a clue about ring craft. Won best in class and came 3rd in the overall best in hound group.

Ton, same thing as Molly's Dad? just looked it up on Wiki, looks shit, hope you get better soon.
molgrips, i have had indeed. 13 mgs of warfarin, 10 mgs of bisoprolol and some digoxin too.
sick to hell taking em.
Aren't the rosettes supposed to go on the dog? LOL
cheers emsz.
fingers crossed for the next procedure.
Good to see you back on here though ton 🙂
emsz - you are a very rude young lady, tsk tsk.
I did family stuff all weekend. Wasn't expecting the rain 🙁
Went to the gym this morning, felt knackered all day since.
Back to the normal 'God I'm bored' state now that creeps in on Sundays 🙁
**** off Yeti, your mind 😀
*waves at Em82*
hows the planning for the big day coming along?
Did my 2nd road race today and i'm ruined! 57 miles with some seriously quick 2nd cats. They ripped it apart from the 1st lap by notching it up to 30-32mph!
Going to bed now
What... how do you know what I was thinking?
Anyway... for those that can't... my thoughts are with you and I hope you get better soon. But, for those that can... why aren't you drinking red wine right now?
<waves back> big day planning nearly got seriously thwarted yesterday by my five yr old flower girl. I got a dress for her that I loved but bought a back up dress in case the lovely dress didn't fit. Little madam really wanted the back up dress 🙁 Spent 10 minutes trying to convince her gently that she wanted the princess dress. Her dad got bored eventually and just said '[i]Child[/i] its not your wedding so you'll wear what your told'. She pouted for a minute then decided she preferred the princess dress anyway 🙂 phew 😈
I know *exactly* what you were thinking of...men 🙄
Tricky, WOW! never ridden 57 miles, never mind at 30 mph!!
Oh that reminds me - I have to get a wedding outfit!!
hi folks - been away for a wile - how has everyone been???
Rachel
Phew, I wouldn't have given her the choice!!
Loads of weddings yesterday, cars and people dressed up all over the place. Bliss
Hey up Rach!
C'mon emsz... I want to know if what you think I'm thinking is as funny as what I'm actually thinking 🙂
Rach!! *squeals*
where have you been? how are you? wedding outfit? something to tell us?!?!?
Are you getting MARRIED! Don't do it! Weddings are a pain in arse.
Weddings are a pain in arse
Anyone want to get married? It won't hurt a bit...
lol = not for me!!! (seems to be no chance of that on the near horizon, anyway!!). An old friend's sister is getting married later in the year so I need a dress. My mind is a blank...
I've been decorating - 460 square feet of wooden flooring later and I'm a broken women, but with a LOVELY new floor!! 🙂
Rachel
🙁 but 🙂 about the floor. LOL
Yeah - at least I have my priorities straight!! 😉
Oh BTW you've missed nothing on here, there's a "what hoover" thread it's got that dull....
And it was really good to spend quality time with my dad. Even if it was mainly clicking together bits of wood, over and over and over again!!!
Coast have some stunning dresses at the moment. Deffo worth a look.
Dont mind the being married bit - tis the blinkin faff that you have to go through to keep everyone happy in the lead up to it.
A what hoover? Really?? OMG... And I thought it was too boring to mention spending a weekend at an IT conference on Drupal... lol
Rachel
Oh.. wood flooring.. done that one!
I was watching a camera I wanted with 4 mins to go, Mrs Grips said 'oh check what time the garage opens tomorrow'.. so like a fool I did, forgot about the auction cos the garage website wasn't working and now someone else has my stupidly cheap camera.. 🙁

BTFU. Tell them it's your wedding, if they don't like it don't come.
Oh Emma, I'd [i]definitely[/i] be up for the "let's run away to Gretna" option!!!
Ha, well, we didnt want to go quite that far but we started small (like 50 to the evening) and it's grown to well over 100. Oh well, will be a good party anyway 😕
[i]Coast have some stunning dresses at the moment[/i]
OMG don't they!! waaay out of my price league though
Need to get asked first 😕
I shall have to make a visit to Coast, then - maybe next month, though - just managed to spend £200 between White Stuff and Joules today!!
Still, got plenty of stuff for the GOGO Festival week after next... 🙂
Rachel
*cough* emsz
Anyone want to get married? It won't hurt a bit...Posted 13 minutes ago # Edit
I've spent the weekend rediscovering pushing after a rubbish week off suffering from chronic parcel stress. I'm not as fit as last time I owned a 35lb bike but, you know what? I don't care . . . it's a riot on the downs 😛
Oh and one of my lads is now home from Uni with my eldest returning next week. The 'dirt' house will be full once again and I can play 'mama' 😀
Healing vibes to all those poorly folks too.
Emz I kind think the same but for a special occasion I might one day make an exception 🙂
Deffo go soon! The summer stuff is awesome.
See, I love White Stuff clothes but whenever I try them I just look stupid 🙁
Looking stupid is my speciality!!
Rachel
Yeti, don't think you're quite what I'm looking for.
But I've even bought myself a pretty maxi dress from coast 😀
Maxi-dresses are brill - good choice TSY!!
Maxi dresses make me look like I'm playing dressing up with my mums clothes!!
pics then Yeti.
I too like maxi dresses, not bought one yet. I intend to for me honeymoon
emsz - it helps beings amazingly tall - I have one form the tall range at New Look that would swamp most people!!
err - have we scared off the boys? sorry!!
Come back!!
Rachel

I never show my face in pics.
Lucky cow! I keep seeing lovely ones all over the place, given up even trying them on! 🙄
How tall is tall though? I'm 5'6 so Im kinda mediocre
Tall - try 6'2" - or 188cm for emsz!!
I thought it would be more of a problem than it is, though.
Rachel
Sunday night Challenge!!! I need to find some nice* Mr & Mrs or Just Married Banners. If anyone can help I shall reward with a nice smiley face cos I am failing miserably 🙁
*must not be the silver foil type ones!
Emma - why not ask Jane (Bunnyhop) to make you some bunting, if you can get material printed with it on??
Rachel
OMG that is such a good idea!
Even flea Bay has failed me this time
Had a quick look, it's all a bit rubbish isn't it?
Edit, lovely idea Rach
You could go for a Kath Kidston kinda style to the fabric and it would look completely different to your average banner
