ok it was calm but I could the disappointment in yout voice that nearly counts ....or ruffly translated is your nevres were NEARLY 'anging out....

I think that taxi driver was a real eastender..." w'ere ya gow'in gal "

TW - after having been thru a similar blister scenario during my visit to Berlin, I can highly recommend them there gel blister plasters - they work a treat and got me thru my 4 day jaunt pain free :O))


Anyway i parked the car up - paid my £2.30 for the luxury of leaving it there for 6+ hours, and tootled across to the station, during which time i receive a text from Hayley that she's on her train.........

I stroll along leisurely (always early me) to the ticket office and watch a 'slow' train pull in on the London platform then disappear. I buy my ticket, and half listen to the announcement that the next train due down from London is cancelled - not registering the fact that said train is actually the one that should turn around and come back as my 9.25 to London.

I walk onto the platform to then be greeted by 'attention passengers on platform 2, 9.25 service to London is cancelled - next service is 9.55' .................. GREAT !!! it's currently 9.05am.

Phone Hayley and give her the news - calmly :O)

I enquire at the ticket office if i am able to go back to the previous station and switch across to the Victoria line - 'yes madam you can i'll just check the times for you' - next train to London 10.06am ................ no point faffing around, so i wander off to the meagre array of shops in Strood and find a half decent looking cafe and have breakfast - egg on toast and tea with hardly any milk - yuk !!!

Stroll back and succeed in getting onto an empty train at 9.55am - take 2 calls from Hayley during the journey, but can't hardly hear her lol - arrive in London and bundle onto the tube to be greeted by the same message as TW - signal probs.

Nothing worse than being stuck on the London underground at the best of time - sweltering ..............but finally get off at destination and get thru the barriers to see a vision with auburn hair approaching me and not a tarten shopping trolley in sight lol

As said before a delightful day - but boy the time just sailed past far too soon.

But it was strong coffee Hayley,and wet water
lol

I only drank water or coffee Merlin...boring old fart I am

I was not boozed up,,,,much

Wonder when the headlines in the local papers are going to be "Boozed up Birds in Bermondsey" riot squad called out.**M**.pmsl.

As I predicted, the carriage I was booked on the way home, was right down the other end of the train, felt like miles, I was almost out of Liverpool street and on Stratford Station LOL.

I must say, the olympic stadium is coming on really well, last time I went past there the place looked like a quarry! Lots of new high-rise buildings at Stratford too, my Dad wouldn't recognise the place he was brought up now.

Awww poor TW....I didn't realise you had sore tootsies...never occurred to me to wonder why you went barefoot all day...lolol.....

Broody, grey day at the moment, so yesterday we were lucky with the weather....
I am still waiting for the answers to No 4. Hayley.....tsk tsk...talk about keeping folks in suspense.

BCXX

Am trying to cancel my Sky movies deal, but am *uggered if I can find a phone number!

Hayey and June would make a good couple,one tears her skirt and shows her drawers
The other has torn trousers and shows her legs

Yes Hayley,what did the place mean ?

Oh....and there was our Hayley walking round London with ripped trousers!!! How common!

Soggy salad and diluted wine
lol
My hard work on my hair would have been wasted as well

Yes we are still waiting to find out what the place meant....

gowd I forgotton the little quiz we did lmao

Ooo it's lovely here. The roadworks are still there, so traffic is still in chaos, so glad I didn't have to go out today heheh

I am in bare feet, covered in plasters, and my feet were so sore last night that in spite of being exhausted by the time I got back, I just couldn't sleep. I ended up on the sofat with them hanging off the arm for a couple of hours lol. I sent OH to go and get the bread and milk..

**pictures us all out side holding brollys with damp fags 'anging out of our gobs...me nerves would of been hanging out **

So glad it wasnt today girls,it is chucking it down outside now
It was nice to be able to sit outside all day

Nah, we did 'arrods last year Merlin...we just has a lovely relaxing afternoon in the sunshine.

So no visit to Harrods Sale? **M**. Then

I have to say, when Mo and Anita went with BC to take the poor little doggy for a walk, Hayley and I did what we were forbidden to do, we washed up. BC came back and told us both off and punished us by making us dance in the kitchen. :-))
