jings old bean, did you really only have one name on mumsnet, that jangly one?

Really?

And truly-ooly?

wink

soop Fri 18-May-12 17:10:06

Anangram Yay! I never did like the idea of 'cold turkey' [whatever that is] so I guess we'll just have to live with our little weaknesses. grin

Off to watch Alexander Armstrong and that nice Richard Osman. This is where I say a fond farewell until tomorrow's fix. wink

Anagram Fri 18-May-12 14:08:48

I know! I think I'll just succumb gracefully....grin

soop Fri 18-May-12 14:02:27

Anagram ...very true! Until I discovered GN, I found ironing very theraputic. Such tedious tasks have been down-rated. I believe that I'm a GN "junkie"...heck! grin

Anagram Fri 18-May-12 13:59:29

Well done, soop! It's great when it works out well, isn't it?
You have reminded me, though, of that pile of clothes which need me to get the sewing machine out - it's a bit like ironing, fine when everything's set up, it's the getting round to it that's difficult! grin

Took forever to re-fashion the top [purchased on eBay for a song] lots of mess: dropped pins, tangled thread, bad temper [mine] but end result is pleasing. smile

soop Thu 17-May-12 18:22:24

hmm confused wink
I'm off to shorten a top and it promises to be tricky. The end result could be a perfect fit...or, a heap of off-cuts on the floor that would have been better left as part of the garment. She who dares...and all that codswallop! grin

Anagram Thu 17-May-12 17:50:54

Yes, I meant back home! This is getting weird....! grin

Annobel Thu 17-May-12 17:42:15

Greatnan is in England.

Anagram Thu 17-May-12 17:04:49

No, soop - I meant Greatnan's not back yet! grin

soop Thu 17-May-12 17:00:39

Are you referring to that jings? If so...WHERE ARE YOU? That's me being uncharacteristically loud and unladylike! wink grin

Anagram Thu 17-May-12 15:24:32

She's not back yet! confused

jeni Thu 17-May-12 14:56:19

What have you been taking?

soop Thu 17-May-12 14:30:39

Welcome back Greatnan looking forward to the next crop of funnies grin

Glad you had a good journey, gn. Enjoy your holiday with your sister.

whenim64 Wed 16-May-12 12:55:19

Hi Greatnan I hope you've brought some sunny weather with you - it's a bit overcast again here in Manchester. Have a fabulous time! smile

Greatnan Wed 16-May-12 12:39:52

Ha, you don't get rid of me that easily! I had a good trip over and my scalded chest is virtually healed, so I am having a lovely time with my sister.
I am in her local library but I may not have time to get in again before we fly to France (well, Geneva) next Monday.
Love to all my friends - and even people who don't realise they are my friends! I am feeling very mellow.

soop Mon 14-May-12 12:48:09

For a moment, I came over all woozy. wink

Anagram Mon 14-May-12 12:42:40

No! Greatnan's just going to Manchester for a week and might not be able to get online! Don't panic, soop! grin

soop Mon 14-May-12 12:40:37

Anagram Have they resigned? shock

Anagram Mon 14-May-12 12:06:58

It's going to be very quiet on here without Greatnan and jingl confused

soop Mon 14-May-12 11:50:12

Is that jingl5001aprrox Still down the boozer...or what?

absentgrana Sun 13-May-12 11:31:55

The butcher I buy from in our local market puts marrow bones in a tray for people to help themselves. I suspect a lot of people take them for their dogs. I use them for stock. Either way, how good is that?

soop Sun 13-May-12 10:59:46

jingl5001aprrox Thank goodness we can all stop YELLING for you to come back from the boozer. wink I've wasted too much precious time on a pub-crawl - looking for you. You're a minx and the forum needs your likes. So, for crying out loud...welcome back...grin slurp! hic! totters off to do something useful [or not]

Greatnan Sat 12-May-12 18:16:35

I love marrow too but it is getting harder and harder to find it.

Bags Sat 12-May-12 18:12:59

I mean how did you manage to stick with one name?

guiness book of records for deregistering and reregistering on GN though!
