It's Friday... join me for a drink...
 

I'm enjoying a nice shiraz. After the week I've had I think I deserve it!

Hey Pip! :woohoo: I wish they had the two smileys that did the "cheers" thing.. LOL.. I hope your week was a GOOD one, and not a bad one! I had a GREAT one, as I got a new job, and my mammogram was good! WOOOOOHOOOOOO.. The celebration is on!:blob1::woohoo:

Great news, Arlene!!!

~ sigh ~ It has been an insane week for me and I am much deserving of a serious cocktail. Let's see . . . I guess I'll stick to the usual: A very large glass of merlot. Chilled, of course.

!!Hey, Pip!!

Thanks Ruthie! LOL.. Sorry to hear this week was a nutty one.. On to better weeks for sure!:woohoo: And a "cheers" headed your way too! I'm after a nice Malibu rum and pineapple juice cocktail!

I'm headed out to a bachelorette party tonight. :cool::woohoo::lol:

cheers! looks like we're all red-wining the night away? i've got a glass of valpolicella and life is good. the cat's keeping my feet warm and i don't have a thing to do tomorrow. by the by, girl scout cookies were delivered this week and i've found that trefoils are lovely dipped in wine.

:wavey:

Would you send me over a bottle of that? I'd love to try it! :nod:

Well it's the morning after...lol. My week wasn't the greatest... hence the need for a drink! :laugh:

Oh and congrats on the mammogram news!

Hey Pip!

Awww.. sorry to hear your week wasn't a good one.. Hopefully, this up-coming one will be a better one for you! When I have those weeks, I *live* for the weekends.. LOL:p- Thanks SOOO much for the congrats on the mammogram news... I always feel I jump a huge hurdle when I get the "ok" there.. LOL- (Here's to a GREAT week ahead) CHEERS!

Well, I had to *bump* this thead up, as it's almost Friday again.. and I hope everyone's week is going better! LOL..I'm up for a drink too! LOL:thumbsup:

I just settle for getting through the week now!

.....and have you opened the Shiraz yet?

I hear you Pip.. :p

I have indeed... sick of drinking alone though:rolleyes:

Well if you can get over to Chicago for 7pm - you can come out with me:)

I wish! :lol:

Well you just need to finish earlier next Friday :laugh:!

Indeed! :p

Gearing myself up for the return of the tosser/wanker/dickhead/bastard on Monday :rolleyes:

I assume that isn't a ledgie:shrug: but Mike:laugh:

Good luck with that - I guess he'll have arm fulls of presents for the kids:rolleyes:!

I have to pick up our two from school shortly and take them down to their fathers. So I'll be doing a bit of the 'happy' families thing!:laugh: He's only having them for one night cos he has 'more important' things to do Saturday.

Hey we're English - we rise above this sort of bollocks!:lol:

I do love the word bollocks... hehe. Yeah Mike... presents for the kids?? Excuse me while I puke :lol: He actually sent me a message on skype the other day (I deleted him from my contacts) to let me know he is home Monday. Didn't even ask me how the kids were :rolleyes:

Are you doing anything with your child free night?

YES I have plans!! - so we will only be out a couple of hours:laugh:.

No - we're out for dinner at an Italian place in the city that we like with some other people. It will be cool.

I SOOO love that word bollocks as well! Every time I hear John use it, I swear I crack up for like 30 minutes afterwards.. I've also grown to LOVE the show "Ramsey's Kitchen" on the BBC every Thursday night, and that word gets used more than anything.. well.. maybe other than the "f" bomb.. ROTFL

God... 'plans' are a long distant memory... hehe

We've had this discussion here before but we (Brits) have a few swear words like bollocks that are quite inoffensive really....but the Americans I work with go straight to using the f word. It takes a bit of getting used to........:laugh:

I use bollocks, wanker and bugger quite often. (usually when talking about my ex..:laugh:)

See.. to me bollocks is HILARIOUS.. I don't know why it just comes across as funny to me.. but it IS much better then the "f" bomb for sure, and you are right.. To me, that doesn't sound offensive at all.. I need to try using that word, verses the other at work, and see what the consesus would be.. Now, keep in mind, this is in Texas.. ROTFL:laugh:

ROTFL.. Pip.. you are a mess.. but I guess in your case, I would probably use "wanker" for sure! I don't even think Mike would be considered a "bugger".. that just seems too nice for that one.. :(

I went out with some friends last night, and as always I was the designated driver as I drink very little alcohol ever. I actually did have a Malibu Pineapple with Midori last night, but that's it. My friends though, thats a different story. Oh well, we all made it home safely and thats what matters.:nod:

That sounds exotic - the sort of thing Strandinthewind would drink. I've had two alcoholic drinks since October. I don't drink much anyway but my g/f's two brothers got me stinking drunk on Whisky. I was in bed for two days thinking I would die - so the smell of alcohol just makes me feel sick now.

I don't remember the last time I drank to the point of being ill. Despite starting these threads I really don't drink that much alcohol.

Here we are again... another Friday night. Where is everybody?

Pip - you said last week you didn't drink much:laugh: and you have started again!

Ah the perils of being alone...lol. And the kids will be with their father (the asswipe) tomorrow so no doubt I'll be having a glass or three then too! :lol:

Pip - you gotta take the pledge:laugh:.

Everyone is in the Rumours thread arguing about the (limited) merits of Sheryl joining the band.

Is Mike on English soil?

Do we know for certain she's joining? Or just touring with them? I'll meander over to that forum in a sec.

And yes... he returned to the UK on Monday. Apparently his latest spawn is due in July. He is supposed to break the news to the kids over the weekend... I await the fallout...

No we are working ourselves into hysteria over something that may or may not happen!

Had she been joining the E Street Band, I would have been rioting in the streets of Chicago:) but it isn't clear.

Good luck with the 'news'. Will this arrival be the excuse the pay less maintenance?

Dunno... better bloody not be. Apparently his woman is back in Venezuela at the moment. Not sure when she'll be back here.

Hopefully she'll stay there and then he'll go there too!!:laugh:

God knows what he's planning.

Well I'm in sunny California all next week - my suntan is fading:laugh: so it's a good job! It's Easter in the UK isn't it?
