Not location specific, No rules: Welcome to ILX heaven

Congrats on the new goods!

I arrived at work at quarter after 6 this morning. hurrah!

Still an hour from coffee. :(

Me and Mister M have just been out and spent our SSIA money. New 40" Samsung telly! New sofa covered in hard-wearing fabric that dogs cannot destroy! So excited now.

Much better than trip to Antarctic imho!!

Well yes, especially since by going to the Antarctic we would be helping to destroy it. So no Antarctic for me. Instead I shall watch it from the comfort of my huge, Irish-built, hopefully long-lasting couch.

I can't make many claims for the sustainability of the new TV, but Mister M insisted on it.

Today is travel day! Amsterdam or bust.

Have fun!

I'm going to block up the last 10% of my arteries and have Accentmonkey ship my body home.

Good plan! Have a good time all of yous!

Me and Mister M have just been out and spent our SSIA money. New 40" Samsung telly! New sofa covered in hard-wearing fabric that dogs cannot destroy! So excited now.

Me and Neil have been out spending our hard-earned profits from the sale of the last house. New suite! New sofa bed! Half of IKEA!!!! New LCD telly! Sky+ box at last, I am up with the modern TV experience, no more videos for us! New bedding! A Wii!!!! I is a consumer and I LOVE IT!

Score all round! Especially nice re. profit! YAY!

Most of profit went on deposit, paying off existing debts and buying new cars, but still, enough to go a little mad on buying stuff.

I am jealous of new car and bed. :(

New car is broked and in the garage getting a new alternator :-( Stuff be expensive :-(

Still no home internets, but hopefully back to you all soon. Am missing ILX less than I thought, which has got to be a good thing though.

oh you crazy celtic consumers. i await the david mcwilliams novel.

really, i'm just jealous cos i'm broke after a trip to london.

ILx is boring right now Ailsa. You are not missing much.

Work has broking my head.

Am missing ILX less than I thought, which has got to be a good thing though.

Maybe we miss you, did you ever think about that, Ms. NewBed? Hmm?

Am missing ILX less

I've gone from 69th up to 43rd or something in the monthly stats. I need to miss ILX more. Or at least stop posting drunk.

we just bought all new appliances! Will be delivered by next week!

Yay! New appliances rock. I still love mine and they are becoming less new.

Splenda looks like coke. I'm just saying.

I don't understand Splenda. Isn't it supposed to be able to catch on fire at high temperatures or something? Or become toxic? Anyway, there seem to be as many web pages devoted to telling you not to eat it as there are telling you not to drink Diet Coke, so I'm steering clear of it.

Aren't all sugar sub. supposed to be bad for you. I don't drink much coffee or tea so don't use them often. Have also all but given up soda.

It was just chunky this morning and made me thing of drugzlol.

Any Americans watch K-Ville last night?

I wanted to come in at 6am again today but after being here until 6 last night and working at home until I went to bed at 10, my body had other ideas. I appreciate it when it keeps me in check.

That sounds like too long a day. I have a flat viewing tonight then have to iron dress shirt, polish shoes. Pack enough for 5 days and chill with s.o. before flying out tomorrow. It's all go!

guys, hi.

yo.

I forgot I'm hosting a party this saturday and the house is a holy filthy mess. I hope I don't have a ton of work to do this weekend.

I'm going to implode.

Now would be the time for that tea methinks!

Parties are easy, let Mr Mis be host, you can hide out by cooler and build up to making your way inside greeting by greeting. You'll meet everyone and have an easy topic to start talking about (beerzlol or winelol) which will make you feel more comfortable.

What's the occasion, Ms Mis?

wine of both colours, crackers and pate, reasonably clean house, lots of seating, and a bit of quiet music.

party sorted.

Don't forget: midgets carrying salvers of cocaine

well, i assumed they'd been sorted already, tbh

sorry kev, not been keeping up with things, where you off to?

Stag in Rome Wed & Thurs, wedding in Florence Fri, Sat, Sun. Fly home Mon.

Don't forget: midgets carrying salvers of cocaine

Nor the baptismal font filled with lube

cut to the catholic s£x thread, then.

It's all about the details... (xpost)

Parties are easy, let Mr Mis be host,

HAH! It is the Potter Party I fretted over a few weeks ago. It was cancelled at the last minute as one of us fell dreadfully ill. I am making a treacle tart and some other goodies, must clean as everything's gone to sh*t while I've been so busy, restock alcohol (all previously bought likker has been imbibed) and decorate.

argggh work1

lots of snogging and grumbling about adults then

Pals!

I am off for some days in Hamsterjam. Have a lovely time at the wedding, Kev-lol! Have a great party, Ms. M.

Everyone else, as you were.

Have fun! Eat some brownies for us!

A Potter party sounds like fun - hope it's great, Sam!

Have fun Accentmonkey, Mr Monkey, Rock and DV. Enjoy!

I'll do my best to match the festivities in Italy.

Hope party goes well Ms Mis.

The rest of you: behave.

Yeah, like that's going to happen.

Whee, back from the city! Surmounter, I'm so glad you enjoyed the salsa! I looked for you after the show but I was in a bit of a daze and had no idea where to look. Such an intense play, AND NO ONE WARNED ME that I'd be seeing a knight's package on stage. Woo! :)

That salsa's truly the best and comes from the town of Telephone, Texas (so-called because it was the only town with a telephone int hat neck of the woods). I sent accentmonkey the same. When it comes to sending packages, I say damn the postage expense. It is a form of recreation for me, I figure, and it's a sin tax.

I am away from home myself! In Cambridge! Eating foods I can't get on my pathetic island! Buying second-hand books and clothing! I bought POWER-SUIT skirts at the Salvation Army. Nobody has subverted the powersuit yet—it's virgin fashion territory. When I get home I'll have to lay out all possible combos on my bed. Hiking boots are def. called for. Then work my way up, and go over to Scott and Maria's to check out the appliances.

Perhaps I shall have to do some packages of Misery brand salsa.

Took a break from working to go out to eat. Two margaritas, my tacos and one of G's enchiladas.

I. AM. DYING.

Hi dere thread.

Margaritas are a great way to take a break from work.

We visited Mr & Mrs ailsa in their new home last night, and very nice it is too = almost as nice as her cooking :) (anyone who can get both of our boys to clear their plates is doing something right)

Shame we got stuffed at the football :(

She's expecting to be back online sometime this week I think.

David's 6th birthday today, the last of the party mentalism until Christmas!

I want dinner with Scottish ILX0rs. :(

back at work. Demo at 1pm today. One big PHP thing to fix then a few styling things. wish me luck.

Onimo is being v generous re my cooking (the washing up only took half an hour though, and NO leftovers to throw out, hurrah) :-)

I am only sorry I couldn't arrange a better performance from Celtic in the first eight minutes to improve the evening. Good food and good wine and good company counts for nothing if Stephen McManus is going to knacker the mood after four minutes :-( Still, it was lovely to see Megan all growed up and big - last time I held her she was about five days old and now she is all big and adventurous and our stairs hold no fear!

Do not all get excited about new bed, it is just a sofa-bed for the putting-up of guests since our spare bedroom is basically just a cupboard with ideas above its station and wouldn't fit a full-time bed in it (well it would, but there wouldn't be room for important stuff like computer and TV and playing Wii bowling and stuff. Still no home internets, so back in the library on the way to get my little car back.

Happy birthday to DavidOnimo, hope Shrek 3 hasn't made him all upset at not getting a Wii for his birthday!

I work with people who say things like, "It's only a $350,000,000.00 fund," at ten minutes after eight in the morning. :(

i need a wii. anyone selling one cheap (PAL)?
