The jackpot tonight is over £100m.
What would you do if you won that amount of money ?
I'm thinking I would build a commune. Women only. Lot's of space for animals and growing stuff.
;D
-
Your joking! The one night I havnt done it!
Oh well, have to stay a pauper! 🤣😂
I'll come to your commune, not sure what I've got to offer, but I'll still come, if you'll have me. 🙏🏻 😆
-
You can join my commune jillydoll. No one has to arrive with skills, just the willingness to learn and a big heart ;)
-
Thanks.....on my way! 🤣😂
I'd like to help the homeless, how? I don't know yet, but I know it's getting worse.
I'd have an animal sanctuary aswell. X
-
We would all live in eco friendly bungalows ... very modern design.
Have solar panels and a couple of wind turbines. We'd have a lake and some woodland. An area for growing veggies, as well as some lovely flower gardens.
A communual kitchen, large dining room and lounge for get togethers.
Everyone can bring there furry friends. We'd get a couple if rescue ponies to play with too.
You can tell I've put a lot of thought into this !!
We can run an animal rescue centre there as well ... if you like :)
-
Invest it. Then live off the Interest.
That bungalow with swimming pool off the bedroom would be built, alongside a walled patio area for sun-bathing: with a view .........
Other than that :-\. Animal sanctuaries are not easy to undertake, I've done kennel work .......... maybe put some money into mental health care for homeless people and pay Vet Fees for their pets. Some people simply can't exist along-side others so good safe accommodation - rooms with en-suite - with access to basic food stuffs.
Wind turbines are not 'green'. Many are constructed in Germany of concrete, then transported by huge lorries :o ....... and take up valuable land which could be used for growing food stuffs. A ground heat source might be better, plus large tanks to catch rain water which can be used for flushing loos or they could be serviced by diverting washing machines to flush them.
Chickens for eggs. Goats, sheep etc. take too much paper work ::) ......... poly tunnels and lots of space for growing, I go along with that, I need a lake/pond/water feature too ;).
-
Ok then! When do we move in? 😂
-
Blimey CLKD ... swimming pool ... it's a commune!!
Ok ... maybe one shared swimming pool. But no private pools ;D
-
One UK ticket has won £123m.
I'm off to check my ticket :scottie:
-
Omg.....hope they enjoy it. Hope they help others too.
That's a hell of a lot of money....
I wouldn't want that much tbh, money's the route of all evil.....
Wouldn't mind a share of it though!....😏
Good luck Pants....🤞
-
It wasn't me but that's not surprising as I didn't have a ticket ;D
Lanzalover x
-
Be nice if it was a large group of people who have won it, one person doesn't need it all ;)
I've always thought it would be nice instead of one huge amount make the top prize one million and make 123 people millionaires ?
-
:'( not ours :'(. DH has double checked the numbers :-\ so the bungalow build is off.
Ah well. Back to the drawing board. I wasn't planning on being part of the Commune, living next door; but of course, I could have built the swimming pools 4 you there .......... and a sociable patio, with bar and umbrellas above for all year use ;)
-
Good idea CLKD, your hired! ( as long as the boss approves,....PANTS.) ;D
My OH says that too Two Hoots, it is too much money for one person.
-
It is. I think that the amount should be capped and spread more evenly, I think that would encourage more people to buy a Ticket? One couldn't spend the Interest on that amount as it would need to be invested carefully as Banks don't pay 'interest' >:(
-
I know, CLKD, but I would give it a good go ;)
That's why I would build a commune !!
I'm not sure about having next door neighbours, although I guess you don't want to dump the husband in order to be able to join ;D
Not that anti man or anything. We would have some male staff (young, fit etc etc) :P
-
For cleaning out the pool!
-
You read my mind.
Plus driving, heavy lifting, and generally looking good about the place ;)
-
No Lycra though! 😂🤣😂
CLKD would have em all to herself! 🤨
We'd have to have mixed nationality, and a fire station, just incase we set fire to something.🤣😂🤣
A good selection of music too. We all enjoy music, oh and books, something else to do when we've finished with the men! 😂🤣😂
-
Could you squeeze another one in ladies, oh JD you just had to get the firemen in somewhere didn't you 😂😂 x
-
;D Oh, there's always room for firemen, after all, we would need them! :o ;D
Yeah of course there's room for another one, wouldn't go without you! :) CG....
-
I'm quite partial to a handsome policeman,can I bring along one?😀
-
No! We're all anarchists, don't believe in being policed! 😂
Can't you bring a chef? 😆😂
-
Boooooooooo it's Johnny depp dressed as a policeman but if no is no,I'll keep him to myself
-
jaypo I'm with you there!!! :banana:
-
Oh you should've said!
Yeessss, bring him, will he do a Chippendale for us? 🤪
-
No no,it's ok,I'll keep him for myself & May let foxy have a shot 😆😂 I'll have tired him out though foxy but Jill would kill him 😆😂🤣
-
>:D :bounce: :stretcher: :jiggy:
-
It's true Foxy, sorry! 😂🤣
You can have his sorry ass bones after we've finished with him! 🤣😂
He may get another wind up, just for you...🤣😂🤣😂
:rofl:
-
Large kitchen. Two dish-washer machines. Lots of lines to hang laundry to blow in the wind coming up the valley ........
-
Johnny Depp?clkd I'll make him wear Lycra 😆
STAY BACK JILL STAY BACK 🤣
-
Don't like Depp in particular, too violent. A bit of a reputation.
Give me DC, JLorenzo, DH :-*
-
A bit of a reputation is what we like CLKD.
He ain't met us yet! 🤣😂🤣
-
He's got no hope!! ;D
-
He'll run a marathon to get away. But he won't wear Lycra in his escape....😂
-
Something dirty about him😳
-
How's this about the lottery ;D
I would pay a therapist to travel with me so that I can go to the Italian Lakes etc.. I would buy a larger motorhome .......
-
Sorry we get side tracked from our dull and boring lives!
We have to digress else we'd all go mad! 🤣😂🤣😂
-
Aren't we mad already :P
So a room each; ensuite with a pool directly off. Large kitchen equipped with dishwashers etc.? Off a patio area for al fresco?
Large gardens? Fruit, veg., flowers ......... one would need a gardener/s :whist:
-
Topless gardeners, I might add, with bulging biceps! ...No, No, stop! 😂
Can we have a badminton court for the horses? 😂
-
😆😂🤣😂😆
I was just away to ask if I could have a horse
Oh yes a nice toned gardener,are we desperate Jill?
Mind you it's not us that goes on about men in Lycra 😚😉
-
Think we are-you know! We know what we likes.....😆
I think we should have a velodrome, just for CLKD...
She could join em then! 😆
-
We'd need a hose to spray them all down for her😆
-
We can borrow the fireman's hose.
If we can stop her going round and round. She'll be dizzy.....😂
-
Since when have horses played badminton ;D
-
Not remember Jill didn't know what The badminton horse trials were?😆😂🤣
-
AHHH - tnx for the reminder.
Camel racing anyone?
-
One hump, or two....😂🤣😂
-
Two please 😆😂🤣
-
Oh lord ... what have I started :o
I turn my back for a couple of hours and you've turned my lovely peaceful, eco friendly, lady farm ;) into a swingers club, full of lycra wearing policemen!! :'(
-
That'll teach you for leaving us to our own devices pants ,can't take us anywhere 😆😂
I apologise but it's that Jill one,she started it 😳
-
It's Jay, Pants, She does these things all the time! She's quite partial to police men, see! 👮🏼♂️
SORRY Pants! 🤦♀️😊
Now about the camels 🐪, can't we use their poo as fertiliser? ......anyone....???😃
-
See pants,see?its Jill,it's all poop & naughty men with her,whereas me?im refined & sophiscteted,soffusticated,sifphostucutted............ a bit posh
-
OK - so I need to build a home composting system then? All animal poo has to be well rotted or it scorches roots ;) and camels spit, so they are going back to the Zoo ;D
I think it will be The Ark if this continues!
-
Agreed, camels.....do one! 👎🙂
You get on with building the composting system, and we'll start building the kitchen area.
Elephants are what's needed, for help moving things, and their poo for fertiliser.
We need a rain/ drainage system, who can do that? 😂
Better? 🤷♀️😆
-
Think I'd sell everything and go live on a cruise ship(to be whispered in front of clkd 😆) as long as I could take my little dogs 🐶
-
Everything on board, I know someone who did that: bought a small flat in Southampton and goes away 3 months at a time.
-
Yep everything,dr,dentist,no dishes,no cleaning or cooking yay,that's the life for me
-
Postcard please? :D
-
You sound like a pirate Jay... 🎵a pirates life for me....🎶 🤣😂🤣😂
-
Ooow,back to Johnny Depp,phwaaar,sexy pirate,that's what I'd do if I won the lottery,buy Johnny Depp 😁
-
You don't know sponge bob do you? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Your more likely to buy him than Johnny Depp! 🤣😂🤣😂
-
Next time johnnys at the pub down the road from us,I'm not telling you,I'll just go there myself and have a pint with him 🤗
-
Spoil sport! 😂🤣
-
Oh no. Depp isn't my cup of tea at all. Keep him !!
Gerald Butler, on the other hand :-* :-* :-*
-
….both together for me, if that's alright! xx You could throw in Jason Statham as well if you like! x ;D (I love Johnny Depp).
I've not been paying attention ...I know the weather forcast is rubbish, but why is CKLD building an Ark and the subject for discussion today is camel poop???? ::) I worry about you lot you know :-\
-
Glad that someone does: worry ;D
Oh to be a Pirate King
-
Can we add Tom hardy into the mix please 😂
-
Ooohhhhh yyyeeeesssssss, Tom, come to me, Hardy..😂🤣😂🤣 NOW! ☺️
Now your talking, ......but it's not talking I'm after....😂🤣

Lay off the testosterone Jilly!

Hello ladies
I haven't read all of this thread so apologies if my suggestion has been mentioned already.
If I could I would fund good quality research into the causes and treatments of the menopause. I would ask scientists to approach the subject as if it was a disease and ask them to investigate why some women suffer so many symptoms and others so few. Lifestyle factors could also be studied such as diet and exercise also weight and body shape.
I'm sure that many of us would like to understand the exact molecular changes that are going on and how best we can deal with them. For example I read that exercise increases testosterone levels in women, if true how was it measured, what effect did it have and how would this apply to the menopause? A practical application would be the discovery that 40 minutes of brisk walking raises testosterone in post meno women which is converted to sufficient oestrogen to relieve vaginal dryness.
In the absence of the above I would fund questionnaires to gather women's experiences and see if any patterns emerge, for example do overweight women actually have fewer symptoms because fat cells store oestrogen or is that a myth? Is there a particular food that is high in phyto oestrogens that is especially helpful?
Obviously this is my own little fantasy but wouldn't it be great to take the guesswork out of the menopause and apply some hard science to the problem, just as we do in other aspects of medicine.
Sorry to go on ladies but this whole ‘suck it and see‘ approach gets very frustrating at times.
Wishing you all well.
K.
-
Kathleen, that would be a wonderful tthing to do. And thank you for being sensible / sane.
This thread had gone off at a tangent. I blame Johnny Depp. Apparently he smells of camel poo and spits ;D
x
-
Great thread.
So the much needed research is sorted. And were all going to live on the commune (with animal rescue centre attached). And CLKD is gonna upgrade the charabanc to a mahoosive tour bus (with pool). I'm liking it.
I dont know what practical skills I could bring to the commune but I could provide the entertainment. We might have to add a state of the art theatre though as this doesnt sound like a campfire singalong happy clappy sort of commune more like a gated community in Florida :)
I would need a cast of back up dancers. Jilly can audition the men.and I would need some musicians so we need to form a band between us.
Might I also suggest we enlist a chef. I know its a commune but when it comes to my turn to cook I will be busy rehearsing my show.
Oh yes. And a team of medical staff. We could advertise for "doctor wanted for position in menopause commune. Must be highly skilled in every single medical speciality known to man,both real and imagined, not afraid of (very) hard work and must have the patience of a saint.
We could interrogate, ahem I mean "interview" the medics as a panel and if we dont like the cut of their jib they are out!!
Please please could we also have a miniature horse, they make me smile. Oh and a unicorn... ..did I go too far now?
-
Tc, it will be a bit of both. Gated definitely, and a bit posh and shiny. But with some happy clappy, eco warrier stuff thrown in.
So .. solar panels and waste water recyling. But an indoor swimming pool with steam room and thalasso spa.
Vegetable gardens, woodlands, lake and wildlife sanctuary areas. But high tech communal kitchen and state if the art movie theatre.
All ... most animals welcome. You can have a Shetland, but miniature ponies are usually very unhealthy, poor creatures (bad breeding by unscrupulous people). Although Shetlands can be rather cantankerous.
How about an Arabian. We can stick a horn on it on Sundays, et voila ... your unicorn. ;D
-
I know a farm that breeds miniatures and they are fine, except 15 were stolen 2 years ago and came home quite traumatised :-(.
Kathleen - you can be the Voice of Reason ;-). Love your ideas ........... in reality, who can we approach once this PM debacle is over to get your ideas kick started? We need a woman in charge of the Health Dept. perhaps?
-
I used to own a Shetland pony,companion for my horse & they're cantankerous little so & so's the teeny ones are called Falabellas,so can I have one of those please😊
-
Shetlands have 'a look' when they don't want to do anything ;D ....... mine was a X and would put her head down to graze so I went over the top, I could hear her laughing . I was 4 and had no chance ::)
-
And they KNOW you've got no chance 😆😂
-
Yep.
Last year at a Show I did meet a breeder of miniature horses - to me they looked like ponies - from America, if we need any more breeds ending up in rescue :bang:
American Miniature Horse
Horse breed
DescriptionMiniature horses are horses defined by their small height. They can be found in many nations, particularly in Europe and the Americas, and are the result of centuries of selective breeding. Wikipedia
Falabella
Horse breed
DescriptionThe Falabella miniature horse is one of the smallest breeds of horse in the world, seldom taller than 8 hands in height at the withers. The Falabella, despite its size, is not considered a pony, but rather is a miniature horse. Wikipedia
These were kept at Silverstone Wildlife Park, they were 1 of the first families to own them. They lived in the house ::)
2017:
Police are appealing for information after eight rare miniature ponies were stolen from a farm in Sixteen Foot Bank in Stonea.
It is believed the animals, which were left in a field surrounded by a chain link fence and a 10,000 volt electric fence, were taken overnight between 10pm on Wednesday (July 12) and 8am Thursday morning (July 13). - photos on the appropriate article with a real aaaahhh factor ;-)
-
Oooo. K. Maybe just the unicorn then. X
-
We were travelling North
To sing and play
For friends that we had never met ...... Unicorns [Artisan, 'driving home']. give it a listen ;-))
-
I'm scared of horses I think they are beautiful creatures but they are so huge and powerful and fhey get "spooked" so easily. I've only been riding once in my life and a loud noise scared my horse and it took off with me holding on for dear life.
I guess that's why I like the miniatures. I dont mean shetlands i mean those ones that just look like a,scaled down horse. But if which i didn't know, they are being unscrupulously bred like that as some dogs are and have problems as a result then i definitely wouldnt encourage that
So, back to the unicorn....can i ride it?
-
Yes Birdy, you can post pics, others have done it. And I think we ought to see this one ;D
JP x
-
I will have a look.
Can I ask a question. When I post emojis from my phone like this one for you birdy 🐥
Can you see it?
-
If I won the lottery I would find a nice little place to escape - somewhere like bora bora or I would ask Sir Richards does he fancy selling Necker Island to me. I have always wanted a loo with a view ;D ;D wouldn't need any staff or anyone else to be honest - just me on my own trying to find myself again!!!
-
I cant see how to do it. There isnt a paper clip or attachment option. Maybe were not allowed to. Or the software isnt there.
-
O.k. I just looked back at how they did it in some old posts.
They used "postimage". You post image to it then select photo then there is a thumbnail saying forum. You copy it and then paste it direct into your reply. I got that far but I cant preview it. . Hold on

Yes yes yes :cancan:
-
I didnt sign up. You can choose option for it to only hold the photo for one day. I personally wouldnt post pictures of myself or others just to be on the safe side.
That rainbow was a double one. You cant see it on photo though. I've never seen a double before. One on top of the other with inverted colours.
Btw. I stuck an extra patch on yesterday :o
-
Woop woop!! I see them. Cute as all heck arent they?
Birdy and TC on the ball today :parti:
-
Mushy - now that wouldn't be peas would it ;)
I'm with you on not needing Staff. Except to clean out my swimming pool, clean the shower heads, cook lunch ::). Getting there means flying though :-\
-
I think because it's a gallery it came up as a link but it worked.
-
Haha. It took me to my gallery and I ticked one and cliked "done"
-
Whose that when he's up and dressed?

😂😆🤣

Yeah ......... right ........... :-\
It looks like a chap I knew for many years who was a great musician !

I Dreamed There Were Unicorns
by Bill Caddick
We were traveling north to sing and play
For friends that we had never met
Been working hard and didn't speak
The sky was grey and threatened wet
And I dreamed that I saw unicorns
Dreamed I saw them wild and white
their sudden beauty lit the world
Like a star will light a winter's night
Pure as love with manes of milk
They danced and pranced and cried aloud
Bright as rainbows round the stars
Their eyes were soft and sad and proud
And I wept for the wild and dirty world
To which this beauty now was lost
And cursed the hungry mind of man
That feeds the future at such cost
My head was bowed, my eyes were closed
When in my ears their voices rang
And these few words lodged deep inside
And in my very soul they sang
We never went away
You always knew that we were near
Remember how to look for us
You'll see we were always here
I raised my eyes to seek them out
The world was empty all around
The rain came tumbling from the sky
It drowned all dreams upon the ground
And when they asked me why I wept
Like one who for his dead love mourns
The only answer I could give
I dreamed that there were unicorns
We never went away
You always knew that we were near
Remember how to look for us
You'll see we were always here
-
You've nice legs Birdy 😆
-
:rofl:
-
Omg,I'm peeing myself here 😆😂🤣
-
Oh oh,with my winnings I'd get a tummy tuck and a boob job & maybe get my legs stretched,both of them though not just one ,like you Birdy,Do you walk round in circles a lot ?😆😂
-
Must be quite heavy lugging a 5 bar gate around but you do look stunning 😆😂
-
Festival!!! I'm in. As long as theres plenty of porta loos
-
We were travelling North .........
-
Thanks for the unicorn poem CLKD x
-
When I went backpacking in my youth I never got the hang of squatting without weeing on my feet. My trendy leather gladiator sandals rotted after 3 weeks.!!
-
Unless you have grown out of such habits, you won't be welcome on the Island! Did the JR bite ......
-
Oh Birdy, take it that it was a good night then?! :drunklaf: :stretcher:
-
Birdy........I saw you again! :rofl:
-
We'll need an helicopter pad....whose making that?
-
The helicopter pad shop 😁
-
Nope. Helicopters are dangerous :'( they plummet quite easily.
We won't need to go anywhere!
-
Oohhhh, alright then!!! :(
-
:rofl: Private jets ......... John Travolta at the helm? ;)
-
;D ;D ;D nutters... a bunch of nutters..... :rofl: I've only just logged on...my sides are splitting here! xxxx
Could you just imagine us on a night out????..... :rofl: :cancan: :sick02:
John Travolta 20 years ago maybe......
-
Yes?whats your point ladybt?😆😂
-
no point Jay... honest! xxx ;D
-
Can imagine the night out,you'd have to forewarn whatever town it was we descended on😆
-
We could meet up where Birdy lives, the natives would be used to her antics and not pay any attention to the rest of us! ;) :-X
-
😂😆🤣
Right!! Are you ready for us Birdy?
-
Here we come..... :rofl:
I am coming too aren't I? 🙂
-
Has anyone seen the opening of the film Resevoir dogs? We'd look like that but in our leopard print stilettos,mini skirts,red lips glasses of g+t's to hand,ooooow,just gorgeous 🤪🥴🥴
-
Yes, that's how I look on a day to day basis, BUT Am I ALLOWED TO COME TOO?
PLEASE, 🤗🤗🤗🤗
-
Oh yes,you've GOTTA come along Jill
-
Why thank you sooo much. .....sorry, I can't I'm busy that night! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

-

Is it just one leg that's extra long???
-
If we do the red and purple thing we wont lose each other
-
Cranking up the charabanc right now ;D
-
Whose that on the table? .......it's Birdy..... :rofl:
-
I lOVE YOU ALL.
You're all as mad as badgers ... but I guess beggars can't be choosers ;)
I too have had to pee in an alley, whilst drunk in Greece. No rabbid dogs though. Oh to be young again.
HANG ON ... I had to pee, hiding behind my car, on a long drive home last year. Not so much fun when you're sober and in your forties. At least it wasn't a 💩
Tc, the art is to hang on to something and lean back. Alternatively, lift one foot off the ground, so you only pee on one foot !!! ;D
-
Pants! You've shocked me! 😂🤣😂
I can wholeheartedly say, I have NEVER took a wee outside! 😂
I've done other stuff outside, but NEVER a wee wee! 🤣😂🤣😂
-
:rofl:
-
Do tell us Jillydoll.
-
OK ... so I'm thinking my commune should have an 'incontinence wing' for those special ladies.
-
Getting sick of course......what did you think I meant? :rofl:
Where the trees are Pants....😂🤣
-
To be honest ... my mind was boggling.
-
Little tease jillydoll.
I've never been able to pee in a direct line. Sprinkler system down there.
Has anyone ever used a she wee. I saw a stand fselling them at a pride festival but I'd already wet myself waiting for the portaloo.
Those individual portaloos are the work of the devil. They always put them on uneven ground a couple of years ago my (slightly drunk) friend fell out of one head first with her drawers round her ankles in front of a very large queue. And when I say friend......
-
Haha, too much to drink , on many occasion.....🤮
-
🤗. :drunklaf:
-
I've just snortled my chamomile tea :clapping:
-
I could not use a bloody shewee TC....( that's a mouth full, shewee TC....) 🤣😂🤣
Nor a portaloo thingy....
I'd have to wet myself. 🤣😂
I'm very fussy where I pee! 🤣😂🤣
-
If you pretend your pregnant you can pee in a policeman's hat!
-
🤣😂🤣😂 what? 🤣😂🤣😂
-
It's legal. Preggers women can pee anywhere they chose including policeman's hat.
And men on rear wheel of (presumably their own) car with one hand on the vehicle.
I'm not sure about the legality of crapping in a layby on the way to birdy's tho.
-
🙀 :rofl: Well at least we'll all leave our mark! 😂🤣😂
Birdy? It wasn't us! 🤣😂🤣😂
It was Jay who left that pile :cuss:........🤣😂🤣😂
-
Does the policeman have to wear it again after he's emptied it? 😂😂
-
I'm ok Birdy ... I'm so bloated I could pass as 7 months gone :'(
-
I wear it quite well though. It balances out my big boobs and massive arse ;D
-
Just catching up, hilarious!! ;D
-
Passenger side rear wheel ;-)
I have a sheewee - still in it's box ::)
-
If you want to sell it CLKD, TC will buy it off you.....she dieing to try one! 🤣😂🤣😂
My belly's that big , Pants, and I'm NOT bloated......😂😂🙀🙀
-
Nearly new sheewee? Hmm.....
Before my next appointment with physio in July I've got to pee in a measuring jug for a week. Nice.
-
Jillywilly,you told them I pooped outside?how could you?but thank you for holding me up whilst I did so,the people going in to M&S were a bit shocked to say the least 😆😂
-
It was ok tho jay, by the size of it, people thought a horse had done it! 🙀😂🤣😂
And your amongst friends here, no one will tell....🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫💩💩😂😂
You could always borrow the local bobbies hat....TC....😂🤣😂
-
Just catching up, hilarious!! ;D
Me too, you gotta laugh 😂 x
-
I dont know about pee for a week but I've p*ssed myself laughing at this thread
:rofl:
The physio told me to buy a measuring jug and measure everything I drink in it and pee in it every time I go. ONE JUG!!
Lucky they're 2 for a quid in the pound shop!!
-
;D .......
There's an alphabet: "A" for apple, "B" for ? , "P" for relief ........ I can't remember the rest ::)
-
Haha. TC two jugs. At least I can bake a cake now. I cant guess measurements. Victoria sponge anyone :cupcake:
-
So you've got nice jugs then tc?😆😂🤣
-
Are they 1 litre size jugs or 2 litre size jugs? TC.....TC big jugs! :rofl:
:boobs:
-
Mine are only 500ml😧
-
Oh ??? there small!! ;D
-
Shut up foxy 😆😂🤣
-
;D ;D ;D
-
🤣😂🤣😂 coffee cup size....😂🤣
-
Large mug actually
-
so more than a handful?!!
-
I wouldn't go that far 😆😂
-
:rofl: depends how big your hands are! 🤣😂
-
Well if you're only 4 foot tall then yes,you've got yourself a handful 😆😢
-
Or four years old! 🤣😂🤣😂
-
That's so wrong on many levels 😂
-
It is isn't it, you should get a padded bra....😂🤣😂🤣
-
It is padded,got two cushions down there
-
And a chicken fillet....🤣😂🤣
-
what no socks? ;D
-
Too smelly, ......we'd smell her coming! 🤣😂🤣😷

I would buy my 3 sons a house each, and a bungalow for me, although i like where i live now i could do with downsizing, and give some to my sister and daughter,
Plus give a lot to animal charities, and the Soi dogs charity, to let them escape from the dog meat farms
-
All on one complex?
-
:-\
-
All the properties? All on one site? Or would you buy in different places which would give you holiday choices ;-)
-
I'd like small boobs.
When I went skiing (quite a few years ago), my ski instructor said to lean forward just enough so when I look down I can't see my feet.
I had to point out that when I look down I can't see my feet anyways !! ;D
-
:o. was he embarrassed?
-
:rofl:
-
Bet he wasn't! 😂🤣😂🤣
I've thought of another male friend to come with us to Pants's commune......TIM ROTH....😍😍
He's very rough n ready, and will keep us all safe! We can use him for patrolling around the perimeter with his German Shepard dog, keeping unsavourily people out, but of course, he's got to do it in a pair of speedos! 🤣😂🤣😂
-
Jillydoll, you are so naughty.
The ski instructor wasn't embarrassed, he just looked me up and down and laughed.
He was a nice man. I was in a small group with just 2 other ladies from Spain. They laughed everytime I swore profoundly (everytime I fell over, which was often). They said that even the worst words sounded funny when I said then in my posh English accent. They even laughed when I used the C word and threw my poles at the instructor !!
He was unhurt ... my throwing was as bad as my skiing ;D
-
Haha. :rofl:
You've gotta be a bit naughty, life's too short! 🤣😂🤣
-
I WON. I WON. I WON.
£4.60 on the Euromillions. The drinks are on me. That'll be 1 lemonade and 17 straws please barman. ;D
-
Oh congratulations pants,how will your life change?😆😂
-
Not a lot ? that's what they all say ;D. Not plastic straws though :o :D
-
I'll just come to your party Pants...😂🤣
£4.60! At least it covers another go on the lottery! Better luck next time....xx🤞
-
Sounds lovely. I need 3 extra rooms for my antiques etc. ::) which would leave the rest of the house calm .....
-
Watching a programme: a property for sale that sleeps 24 :o ..... I don't know 24 people I would want to share space with ::). A bedroom layer; a kitchen layer; an entertainment layer; a basement for exercise, swimming and a cinema. Overlooking Sierra Nevada - nope.
-
I wouldn't want a large house, I don't think so anyway. Too much work, in and out.
I'd like a large apartment, I know would be safe when I'm away, which I would be quite a lot of the time. 🏖
-
Hi Birdy Do remember if you get the large house with a lottery win you can afford the house keeper to go with it.
-
Last nights ‘Set For Life' lottery game,
I was one number off, either way, it's the closest I've EVER been!
And that was all the numbers, not just one or two, all of em! 😠😡
£10,000 per month for life, now that would do nicely.....😉
-
Not sure I'd like a house keeper, tbh, it's the thought of someone being there when I'm not.
Maybe they can just come in when I'm in residence....🤣😂
When I'm deciding where to go on my travels next! 🤣😂🤣
If any of you DID win the lottery, do you think it would ‘change' you?
Ie, would you start to get snobby, and look down your nose at people?
OR, do you think you'd stay the same......humble. ?
I think I'd stay the same, there isn't a posh bone in me...as you all know, 🤣😂🤣( common as muck) 🤣😂🤣 but some people it does change. I'd like to think I wouldn't change. 🤪
Well, apart from being mad, that is! 🤣😂🤣
-
;D. what makes you think that I don't look down on people anyway :lol:
It would change me. When first married living on very little I never thought I would want anything else but of course, once we got our own property it was buying for the garden, as well as furniture. When first married we couldn't afford Ercol, now we can I haven't room for it ::) - but I do hanker after pieces when I see them in antique places. So yes; I want a house with 5 rooms so that I can put all our 'stuff' into 3 of them which would free up spaces and clear my head a bit. I have dummies clothed which have brooches on for example, if they were in 1 room then I would have space in the bedroom to relax ::)
But my main hanker is that bungalow with heated covered pool off our bedroom ;-) - I know the layout of the property with 3 extra rooms ;D
-
I would buy my daughter and son houses each. I often think I would buy us a house with a luxury suite for Mum and a live in nurse. I would definitely buy a car where I could just wheel Mum up and take her out for a drive.
I would get daily beauty treatments, facials, massages, nails, eyebrows etc. I would also buy very expensive, well cut clothes and beautiful shoes. Having just been to Marbella and seen very wealthy people parading about everywhere you can really tell that their clothes are top quality.
-
Home again, washing done PF?
A good idea - live-in Nurse but you would need 3 for rotation - it becomes an employment issue; pension plans, insurances etc. ..... I have never been a clothes person .......... I would love to have someone to 'dress' me - I could afford that if I won ;D
-
Dummies CLKD? Omg, I'd be scared to death coming to your house. 🤣😂🤣
Imagine walking into one of your rooms and seeing one of them looking back at you! 😱😆
I'm the same with dolls!
MIL has dolls, in a big glass fronted cabinet, although they're dressed lovely, they give me the creeps, they watch everything you do! 🙀😱😆😂🤣
-
Not those kinds of dummies though but tailors' bust-type that have dressers, suits etc. on
-
Omg, thought you were all weird for a minute! 😂🤣😂
Madam Tussaud's house! 🤣😂
-
Oh don't start me on another hoarding habit ;D
-
I'm a bit of a hoarder.
Can't bear to throw out anything.
I'll say to OH, keep it in the garage, we might want that again one day! 🤣😂
-
I don't think winning the lottery would change me. I'm a bit posh already ... ha ha ha.
It's true, descended from a King of England, no less. ;D
And my brother was briefly married to aristocracy. She was awful though >:(
-
Was she Pants? All diamonds and no knickers? 🤣😂🤣
I'm all for the no knickers bit, but diamonds are just disgusting! 😂🤣😂
-
She gave up work 3 months before the wedding and then never worked again !! Complained that my brother didn't do anything around the house ... he's a doctor and was studying for his consultants exams. So he said he'd pay for a cleaner, and the wife said they couldn't have one ... they might steal the silver !!
-
Haha sounds like my husbands ex wife,she never worked but needed a cleaner,what the hell?!? Here's me down on my hands and knees (leave it jill😆) scrubbing the floor tiles in kitchen,summit wrong somewhere.
Oh yes pants I'm posh too 😆😂🤣😂😆😂🤣 I've never had money,single mum blah blah,married a man who has a successful business & now for the first time in my life I've not to watch every penny but I STILL DO!!! It's an in built thing I think, I ALWAYS go for the best deals At Tesco,still do the charity shops, I hate people who are vulgar with money,makes them ugly.Im not materialistic either and not impressed by people who have “things†so I'm not sure what I'd do if I won millions 🤷♀️ Buy a nice cake 🍰 😆😂
-
I LOVE Charity shops and wouldn't give those up any time soon.
-
I sooo love having a mooch about in charity shops.
There's always something unusual to buy, matches me, I'm unusual. 😉
-
Posh Pants eh? 😂🤣😂 or should I say, your Madge? 😂🤣
-
Pants46, are you related to Danny Dyer then??!! :rofl:
-
Yeah Foxy.....Mrs Danny Pants! 🤣😂🤣😂
-
;D ;D ;D
-
HRH Mrs Danny Pants.....🤴
-
I've just looked up Danny Dyer and ... his King relative killed my King relative.
>:(
-
Oh no Pants! I'm sooo sorry.
Don't like Danny Dyer much anyway....😂🤣😂
-
me neither, knew there was something dodgy about him!!! ;D
-
I won £20 on the post code lottery this week and every week for the last 5 weeks I have won a lucky dip on the national lottery.
-
We won a tenner on the health lottery 🤑
-
That's all we ever win, a flipping tenner....😠
I won £4 summat on the lottery last night.
-
OHHHH - don't spend it all at once ;)
-
We weren't meant to be millionaires I don't think ☹️
-
I could do with Staff though ;D
-
here here!!
-
A staff? There's loads in the dogs home! 😆
-
No thanks!! Had bad experience with rescue dog :( :'(
-
We're all winners then !! ;)
I read that as a dog too .... but I think that's because a pronounce staff as staaaarff. ;D
-
:rofl:
-
My 'Jeff' was a rescue. Best thing I ever did. Obviously didn't have anxiety back then. Wouldn't be able to take on an 8 1/2 stone Rottweiler, with man issues, now. :o
-
Oh we could! 🤣😂🤣😂
-
8 1/2 stone weighs more than I do ;D
-
He was a big lad :)
-
Jeff! Love it....😆
-
Jillydoll, he came with that name. Although we think he was originally called Jethro. But he'd been rescued, lived in care for a couple of years, was adopted, then given up 18 months later, back into care .... and then, finally, I gave him the loving, forever home he deserved.
So when I got him he was called Jeff, and that was what we called him. But I had all his official documents changed to 'Jefferson'. Cos I'm a bit of a snob ;D
-
Oh, and I'm going to change my name... can't decide between Queen Pants or Princess Pants ;D
-
PP pants 😆😂🤣
Our rescue dog has been a nightmare since we got her,she's a beautiful black German shepherd,she was 2 when she came to us and is now nearly 9,totally neurotic,she's calmed a lot lately but has put me off getting another rescue ☹️
I'd love to open a donkey & horse sanctuary with my million.....I've decided 😊
-
Oh Pants, er, I mean HRH Pants ...Maaammmm....😂
How lovely you found him, what a life he had, in and out of Homes. It's such a shame.
But you showed him what a loving home was. Destiny see, he was destined for you! 🖤
Jefferson,! Brilliant name Pants!
Xx
-
He was such a good boy.
Well, when I say good ... he only bit 3 people in the 6 years I had him. And it was never his fault.
Lived 3 years longer than anyone expected. Lost him 6 days after I finished chemo.
I had a cat before him. I changed his name from 'Mistle' (rubbish name) to Cosworth. My surname is Ford, so it worked really well.
If I get another pet, I'm going to call them 'George', no matter if boy or girl !!
-
Ohhh, Pants that's sooo sad, losing him after your chemo, he wanted to make sure you were ok......he did extremely well lasting 3 years longer than anyone expected.
Cosworths are nice ent they? 🙂 I see the connection.
Why George? Any reason?
You have to get another pet! You seem to enjoy them. My OH says no more after this one! 😡 but we'll see. He's not a cat person, so no cats, but I have to have a dog. They get you out when you don't want to go, so that in itself has to be a good thing, doesn't it? X
-
Jillydoll, I just like the name 'George'. And I'm sure my next animal will be georgeous !!
I should say, though, that cats can be just as much fun as dogs. Cosworth was an indoor cat (2 previous owners, the 2nd had passed away, and I think he broke a leg at some point, because I could feel a surgery scar).
He would go out in the garden, but if I left him, he would come back into the house after 20 mins to check I was still there.
When I travelled for work, he would stay at my parents. And every night at 6pm he would wait by the front door. That was the time I usually got home from the office. He would wait 30 mins, then get on with his evening. Returning to the door at 9pm, and waiting for another 30 mins.
And he once bought me a worm. The worm survived. He was a lover not a fighter !!
I do want another animal. I was looking at rescue dogs before my surgery. But I think I need to be on a more even keel before I do. It wouldn't be fair on the new animal, especially a dog. It's hard resisting though. ;)
-
Ha,my OH used to own a cosworth.
After my little King Charles passed away, I swore that was IT,no more,geeze the heartache 😢 but after a couple of years I was lost without a little dog sitting on my lap,the shepherd tries bless her but at 5 stone a tad uncomfortable.
You're right jill,it's the getting out for a walk,I just wouldn't,without my dogs but once these 3 have gone, I think that really will be IT
-
Yes Pants, when your ready maybe then you'd consider having another pet.
They are therapeutic aswell though aren't they?
My Molly, ( chocolate lab) used to hear everything, she was my confidonte! 😆😂
If ever she could speak! 😱
I don't mind cats, had them growing up when I was a kid, this one used to run up your legs, back, sticking his claws in as he went up your body, and he'd sit on your shoulder! 😂😂
We also had a lovely one that was all white with a black tail. He used to suckle your top like he was feeding off his mother, he'd leave your top soaking wet! 😆😂 my mom would look after any animal that was around. My dad would not be happy! 🤣😂 there used to be this BIG tom cat around, tabby, he was that big, we called him Butch, don't know if he had a home to go to, but he was always at ours, my dad used to kick him out, but me & mom used to let him in especially when winter was here, he'd sleep on the chair downstairs, and first thing in the morning after we'd fed him, we'd let him out so dad didn't know, .......I think dad did know in the end, he just let us get on with it. 😂 then one day, he never came back.😭 never did know what happened to him.....our white cat got ran over....🙀😭
-
Jillydoll, 'Butch' ... what a name. So sad that you never knew what happened to him.
So no cats and no more dogs for you. What about a house rabbit ? ;D
-
Lovely reading about all your pets ladies. Pants I'm glad you didnt stay behind the sofa too long after my emmerdale rant!!
I love the idea of giving pets "human names".like "dave" or ""nigel". Have you noticed it seems to e more of a novelty with Male pets. Female names for pets doesnt seem to raise a comment my little adopted tuxedo cat is called sophie.
Ive never had a dog but I've allways thought if I got a Jack Russell I wouldnt have to name it. :)
I love it when people let the kids name a pet. That's how you end up calling out a Disney characters name in the park!!
When I was little I had a goldfish which I called "snowy" ??? He/she seemed to live for years and it wasnt until I was 14 years old and regaling someone once again with my story of
Snowy "the oldest goldfish ever" that my mum said ",I think it's time I told you the truth"!!!!
Love to you all and heres to the pets we have loved who made such a mark on our lives 🐕🐱🐎🐆🐰🐥🐡
-
Tc, my best friend has a Jack Russell called 'Dave'. He's a real cockney geezer (the dog).
I could imagine you with a JR. But would you call him 'Jack' or 'Russell' ?
-
Pants...I really think after the emotional stress has calmed down with my OH, after we lose this dog now, I'm sure we'll get another....after all, I'm a true believer that getting another soon after, ( not too soon) helps with your healing after they've gone! :'(
As for the house rabbit? Errr, NO, I'll pass on that one... ;D
I've always wanted a JR, or a golden lab, or golden doodle. Like the one out of the ‘flash' advert on tele....xx :)
-
Crikey I'm physic. 😀
Morning ladies. Jiily. They do help with healing dont they. I took on .my elderly girl because a home couldnt be found for her and it was not long after my wife died. Some times she has been the only reason I have got out of bed at one point i thought i might be making her depressed too. She took.to laying on the pillow next to me. All day and night. She was .my sisters cat and my sister says shes never been as affectionate with anyone the way she is with me. She realy seems to love me.
I dont think I would get another though as I'm in a flat and its o.k as shes old but I dont think it's fair.with younger cats. Some breeds are indoor cats but I think moggies like to outdoors. Having said that if i did i would probably take on another older cat anyway. They realy struggle to rehome them.
Hope everyone has a good day xxxx

Hey jilly - NO such thing as a Golden Lab..
Golden retriever: which can be bred in dark autumn leaf colour; pale cream/white; or 'golden': and are either show or working type
Yellow, black, chocolate Labradors - occasionally one might come across a 'fox red' as 'new' but ours in the 1960s was that colour ::) - Labs are bred as show or working strains, the latter being thin and more alert.
Jack Russells - pert, snappy, loving ...... different to the Parsons Russel Terrier which are usually white and much longer in the leg. I've had several people insist that they have a Parsons from a Rescue Centre when it's obvious not ! >:(. whoops, wrong thread :D
Opening another sanctuary jaypo - I would join in with Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary where it's all set up with Vets., Insurance, volunteers, fields, sheds ;-).
-
I've been to the monkey sanctuary in Dorset. Anyone else been? Sadly the guy who ran it passed away but his wife is carrying on the rescue work. The team there are so dedicated. And they try to give the animalsxthe closest to natural habitat they can get ( apart from all the humans gawping at them) but having visitors there helps fiund the work.
X
-
Oh yes tc,I've been there,was fab,the monkeys all have such good lives there,when we went,the chimps were all doing something I can only describe as the conga,about 12 of them all in a line,was so funny
-
When we went it was a cold, wet day in March. Windows were misted up and most were hiding under builders rubble sacks etc. ::)
When my parents went in the years it first opened, the chimps had free range. One sat beside Mum whilst she was eating an ice cream - that all stopped when a woman visitor was bitten ::)
-
Oh dear,well they are wild animals after all. I remember watching a documentary thing about people who seem to want to keep wild animals as pets & apparently something like 80% (ish) of all chimps WILL attack their (so called) owner
-
Yes. Big trend in the 60s or 70s wasnt it? Among those with .ore money than sense. Someone bought a lion from harrods to live in his penthouse flat!! When the law changed in the mid or late 70s I think it was people just turned them all loose!!
-
A dog and 5ft fish tank have been the only pets we've had, that's as exotic as we got!!!. Loved the fish tank but the regular cleaning and increasing in electric prices meant we decided to sell it (fish and all) was very relaxing and if won the lottery would get another, full wall and pay someone to clean it!!! Loved the American programme 'Tanked'.
-
That was Christian the Lion - bought from Harrods. He was released into the wild and about 3 years ago his owners went to visit - he remembered them immediately, there's a bit of ruff and tumble on U-tube somewhere.
Our gold fish were far from relaxing in the night ;D - the bright light by the bed was too bright and they picked up stones from the floor of the tank, took them to the top and dropped them. All night long >:( :D so we had to move the tank back downstairs. I wasn't aware that the electricity costs went up as they were goldfish, we also had a tank of guppies etc. but the cleaning was a chore. A friend kept marines for years, more and more until the tanks too up his garage and he never went on holiday as the water had to be monitored regularly ::)
Now I can't get why people keep snakes or spiders :-X ........... many of these are coming into 'rescue' because they get too large :o
Chimps get to the age of 3 and turn like teenagers and will bite. Particularly males who challenge the men in the household. Have U seen the size of those TEETH ;D .......
So no Zoos with our millions then? :lol: but subscriptions to already set-up Sanctuaries? My neighbour had 2 donkeys which went to Sidmouth when the land he kept them on was built over >:(
-
I'm still after my bungalow with swimming pool 'off' ;D
-
That's what I meant, A Golden Retreiver.... ;D. ::)
-
We used to have a fish tank. We've had loads of different fish over the years, they don't interest me, it's OH, but the cleaning was a pain in the butt! Plus all the money spent on it, then he'd change it to marine fish, omg, now you have to be dedicated for that one. And in the end, it got Too much, we've only just dumped all the stuff belonging to it, the heaters, the pumps, ect.....good I say! 😆😂
-
...... and the fish :-\
Of course, if we won that money we would have Staff to clean the tanks ;D
The cats would have Staff :D
I would have my pool .......... :whist:
-
Tc, I don't think you've made your cat depressed !!
I think she just loves you. Some animals can be very sensitive to our emotions.
When my Jeff passed, my friend took me home to her house for the night and 'Dave' stayed by my side all through the night. I didn't sleep, nor did he. My friend said he was f*cked the next day!!
Sometimes they just know. When I had my USO in Jan, I went back to hers for the night. I couldn't let 'Dave' into the bedroom with me (in case he tried to lie on me), so he slept ouside my door all night. The other JR and the Rottie both ended up outside my door too. The 2 Chihuahuas slept with my friend (as per normal) ... they aren't so sensitive !!
xx
-
And Cosworth (my cat) used to sleep around the top of my head.
He wouldn't start the night there, but in the morning, he would be there.
I don't know how he managed to get there in the night without waking me up. But he never did in 6 years.
It was quite nice. Except during a heat wave (hot fur hat). And waking up with his back paw in my mouth ... not the best.
But I loved him. And he loved me.
:)
-
CLKD, I love that your cats would have staff.
My friend (I have another one) had a live in dog au pair .... don't get me started on how that turned out !!
-
Animals definitely have a sixth sense,when I used to get my horse from the field he would ALWAYS come trotting down to greet me BUT if it was to get him to take to vet who was waiting at the stables he would just stand and look at me from a great distance 🐴🐎
-
Oh that's 2 friends pants ? 8)
Even if I won the lottery there are a limited number of people that I would share it with :D. I don't know many who I would like to spend time with .........
Our Siamese would lay between us - long-ways across the bed so that we were hanging on to the edge ;D
-
Our first Rottweiler used to sleep on our bed. 😂🤣 we couldn't move. She used to jump off in the middle of the night because she was fed up of getting kicked every time we moved...😂
She used to go up there on the bed every time we left her on her own too. We did have a blanket on over the top especially for her. She loved it. She was as gentle as a kitten, my youngest was only 6/8 months old and she'd let him do anything to her. Under supervision of course, you can NEVER be 100% with animals. No matter how gentle they seem to be...
-
You're 100% right Jill,our shepherd is as gentle as a lamb and great with OHs kids but I'd NEVER leave them all together,just takes one of them to stand on their tails or trip and fall on them,dogs natural instinct could be to snap
-
It's not fair on the dog - children can be a bit un-predictve and may be tempted to :poke2: 2 see what happens.
-
If I caught one of them doing that,I'd do it to them 😆
-
Oh so would I! NO ONE touches my dog/cats without my permission >:( ;)
Now: if I won the Lottery :-\
-
Dog rescue centre 😊
-
I always feel a bit sorry for adult dogs and cats when they go into a home with very young crawling babies or toddlers. Even if they try to be gentle let's face it they grab and pull and pick them up when they dont want to be picked up and squeeze just that little bit too tight.
I guess puppies and kittens will just grow up alongside the child, at least that's what people say.
At the same time I guess it's good for children to learn young how to look after and respect animals though.
I absolutely hate to see children being spiteful to animals and it going unchecked. I'm afraid I just have to say something and it's got me into a row in the past
Children cant be expected to instinctively know, they need to be taught the same as with everything else in life. If people cant teach a child to be kind and respectful of animals they shouldnt have animals.....or children!!!
-
And so say all of us TC.....👍🏻
-
Absolutely tc
-
It is my personal belief that no child under the age of 12 should be left alone in a room with a dog (probably cats as well). It is, therefore, very difficult to have dogs when you have small children. The logistics are just not feasible (look at me with my long words ... ;D).
If there is an accident, and someone gets hurt, how do you reconcile that. It could be the child's fault, it could be the dog's fault. It is most certainly the adult's fault.
I never let anyone just walz up and start touching Jeff, if something happened, he would be blamed (because of his breed) and I would have had a humdinger of a legal battle on my hands.
That being said. One weekend, I took my parents and Jeff to lunch at the local pub. We were busy chatting and eating. Jeff was snoozing. A family came in, and before anyone realised this little girl had run over and wrapped her arms around Jeff, and was giving him kisses. You should have seen the look on her Father's face when he turned around and saw her !!! ;D
-
;D .......... did Jeff respond by licking her all over ......... I would say no child under 21 myself ;)
Many years ago there was a family of children born close together - I had left my dog outside the shop and came out to find 1 of the children walking down the road with MY DOG - I can tell you I was less than pleased. I went hammer and tongs if the child didn't know language B4 lunch she certainly did afterwards.
My dog would growl at young children. Our Siamese cat would tolerate young children ........ he would take hold of the child's arm with his paw, neatly sheathed and run his lips along the arm :D ...... like 'if you come closer I'll show you my fangs' ;D
I met a dog with a muzzle this morning, because he eats sheeps poo which costs a lot of money at the Vet's ::)
-
You should know all these long words Pants anyway, being as posh as you are... ;D
Totally agree with you Pants. That's happened to us a couple times, ....inside your panicking, but know you have to stay calm because you can't stress the dog out, hoping the little 🤬 lol, child will hurry up and go. .weve never had a disaster, but you have to have eyes up your bum don't you?
If it's not kids, it's other people with THEIR dog off lead, there's always one, everyone else has theirs on leads, then all hell breaks loose, glasses, food, ashtrays, all over the place. And that's just the people.
;D ;D
-
;D
Mine ran up to a toddler in a pushchair and I held my breath. Fortunately my dog sat to 'ask' for the sandwich that the child was waving around ::) but I ran hot and cold for nights after, thinking what might have happened :'(; even though I knew it happened.
If I won the lottery: I'd be off to an architect with my designs ;D
-
I once had a friend come over with her toddler. They had a black lab at home, so the little girl knew how to play nice. And we both stayed in the room with her. She played with Jeff so nicely. And he was such a good boy. She would bounce his ball across the floor, he would go get it and then drop it at her feet.
He never fetched a ball for me !!
We then went for a walk in the woods. And Jeff walked up front, all puffed up, and a bit tough. I said to my friend ... he's never like this, maybe it's because Izzy is with us. She turned to me and said ... it could be because I'm 10 weeks pregnant !!
Very smart dog !!
-
Now, back to the commune ....
The big question is (apart from when am I going to win the lottery?), where should the commune should be ?
I'm a southerner, but land around here is hard to come by (and expensive), and as you all know, we're going to need a lot of land for the wildlife area, the formal gardens, the lake, the woods, the tennis court, the pool, the individual luxury suites, the communal spaces ....
Have I missed anything ?
xx
-
Bit of a big request from me is near a beach, hopefully that won't put a kybosch on things though just thought a cooling sea breeze could help with the hot flushes 😎 x
-
Sea air is good for you 😊 so I'm happy with that
-
Pants46...sounds good to me!! I'm in ;D
-
Pants I think Jill will tell you you've missed the hunky gardeners & topless male butlers 😆😂

Do we get en- suite bathrooms?
I've always wanted my own bathroom....🙂
With shower....pleeeaaasssseey please.🙂
-
No Jill,it's a bucket behind a tree 🌲😆
-
Oh no, I'm too refined to stoop behind a tree....😂
Might get flies where they're not supposed to be...🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
-
Did you say you're too refined?aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha
-
I am quite refined, I'd get someone else to dig the hole for me....😂🤣
-
One of the hunky gardeners you bought?😆
-
Yep, he'll know where to put it.....
And the hole! 🤣😂🤣😂
-
Have a look-see at the property on-line - at least you'll have a loo with a view ;)
-
Oh god,I'm shaking my head at you Jill 😆😂🤣
-
I don't think an 'isle' would be a good idea. Too remote. We wouldn't be able to get staff easily.
Coastal sounds good though. I've never lived near a beach. Would be good for walking the dogs. And cooler during heat waves. 8)
I need to get a map out.
Jillydoll - of course all individual suites will have their own bathrooms, including a shower.
There will be no pooping behind trees on my land, thank you very much ladies !!
-
That's a relief Pants!
It's Jaypo, she's used to doing that up in the mountains.
🤣😂🤣😂
-
⛰💩⛰💩⛰💩
-
She'll be comin round the mountains when she comes,that's rude 😆😂
ITS A SONG,BEFORE ANYONE STARTS 😂🤣
-
I was just going to say "yee har" 😂😂 x
-
😆😂🤣 singing I will if you will so will I 😆😂🤣 great lyrics
-
Eh jay? .....your at it again..... :rofl:
-
Your not wise the lot of you!!! (counting myself in that!) ;D ;D ;D
-
Well we wouldn't be on here if we were foxy😆😂🤣
Jill,honestly,CG and I were singing a song,you never heard of she'll be comin round the mountains? Leave it 😆
-
Oh i've heard it alright!!! ;D
-
😂🤣 which version 😂
-
Don't know what your talking about ....🤔
-
:-\. did anyone look yet :-\ .......... it's got a VIEW :D
-
OK, OK, CLKD ... I'll go look it up now !!
-
CLKD, it's beautiful and the views are stunning. It's only £1.5m !!
And I can see why you REALLY like it 🏊♀️
xx
-
Well ... I'm cheered up.
I won £96 tonight.
What to spend it on ?
-
Would you like it - I believe that I would do, that view sells it for me. Now if I can have a bath that over-looks that view ;D
£96.00 - I'd be off to the garden centre 8) :-*
-
Clkd,wish I could send you our view,I guarantee you'd love it,you'd never know if you were in Scotland or Norway
Pants, I need a loan 😆
-
;D ........
-
Well done Pants....
Treat yourself honey....you deserve it....😉💄👠👡👜
-
How many times have you spent that £96 so far ;D
If I won it tonight I would have the Dentist here to tell me what the pain might be :-\
-
pants 46, have fun spending it!
-
If I win the lottery tonight I'm off to you know where I have a villa in mind and it's got my name on it 8)
I've even bought a ticket ;D
Lanzalover x
-
;D
-
Oh yes Lanza... I'm with you on that one.
Can just myself sitting in my own villa, with pool, and slide. 😆
Outside Barbie, and bar....👙👓🍹🥂
-
I'd pay off the daughter's mortgage, get her and hubby new cars, move us all to Devon along with my mum. Get two houses , one with an annexe for mum and one with holiday lets to keep the daughter and hubby busy. Give my brother a nice amount to keep him comfortable. Then I'd look into various charities and see if I could help them out. .
-
That sounds an Idea that might work ..........
-
A super duper (quiet) air con system!!
-
:'(
Lanzalover x
-
Awww why you crying Lanza ☹️
-
Didn't win euro millions
Lanzalover x
-
Oooh Foxylady. You got the right idea. Underfloor heating for winter, AC for summer. Bliss.
I didn't win yesterday either.
But its £3.8m on the lottery tonight. That'll do me ;)
-
I wouldn't trust under-floor heating :-\ :-X
Lanza - it's OK we loves you still .........
I would have That Pool ;D
-
CLKD, what's not to trust about under floor heating ?
I trust all of my electrical appliances - except the washing machine. She leaks often, so can't be left unattended. I guess as she's 25 years old (that's 50 in human years) she's menopausal, which has led to atrophy (hence the leaking) and mood swings (she doesn't always have the energy to spin) !!!! ;D ;D :D
-
oh pants46, poor washing machine, I know how she feels, you make me laugh!!! ;D
-
Yes but you can't trade her in for a younger model,that would just be wrong 😆
-
An overall is what's needed. Call the service engineer, he might give her a thorough deep clean. 🤣😂🤣😂
-
Darlings, she too old for a service. No one would have her parts, or know ehat to do with her !!
She's a vit of a family heirloom. My parents had her for 15 years, then she came to me, at least 10 years ago.
It will be a sad day when she goes to the tip :'(
But now I know how she feels :-\
-
There's life in the old machine yet my lovely!
As there is you too.....
Keep going, we're with you.....
-
Doesn't have to go to the tip. My Dad took the innards out of a TV with a wooden surround, left the bottom in, put a cushion inside the guts and my dog slept in it for years :D - he put curtains across to keep out the draught ............
Think of it as re-cycling ;-)
Of course, we'll have a large laundry room and utility area - won't we ;D ..... and perhaps Staff?
-
Ohhh yes, large machines and plenty of washing lines and space to hang out to dry....
Don't know about the staff..... :o
-
A large airy barn to put washing across with open doors each end for the laundry on a wet day ;-)
-
Reminds me of a film I saw which was set in Mississippi.......😄
What will we grow ourselves for food?
And what about meat and fish, for ladies that want them?
Will we need big shop like freezers to store it all in? .............🤔🤔
-
We will have plenty of growing space - a walled garden, one end for fruit, veg in the middle and flowers - like that at Alnwick Caslte ;-). There will be a boot room and composting toilet in that area and a large room for washing down veg.. A dry room for herbs and to store bulbs.
We can buy meat/fish as required. Here was have a large chest freezer; a fridge/freezer as well as a larder fridge ::) for 2 of us ;D but DH does a lot of fishing and we buy in bulk.
We will need vases for all those cut flowers :D
Any bakers joining us? Oh the smell of fresh bread ........ :-*
What reminds you :-\ ........
-
Sounds idyllic CKLD, I love baking - only problem is I eat too much of it so do very little now, maybe if/when I retire!! or win the lottery ;D
-
I haven't baked since 1982. 'cos we eat it ;D
I don't like goats and sheep are either dead or alive ::). Chickens are OK, geese protective, ducks messy :sick02:
-
Geese are dangerous, got attacked by one as a teenager out for a walk with my younger sister. I was wearing shorts and it ran after me biting my legs, my sister was beside herself laughing, not funny!!! That's why some distilleries etc have them as guard dogs.
-
The White geese we seen in Farmyards probably hale from the Bastille ;-) . My sister bred them and I had an Uncle with a bantam rooster which attacked me when I got between him and his Ladies >:( - put me off birds for years ::)
-
All our laundry blowing in the barn. Doors wide open....outside in summer.
Only eat chicken. Couldn't eat anything else. And the only fish I eat is Birdseye.... ;D
Other than that, I'm ok with just fruit n veg....and a bit cheddar cheese. Can't eat eggs, so you can have the eggs. I'll have the chicken that laid em....Mmmm, our supply will soon be all gone!
Have to rethink that one.... ;D
Ducks are far tooo lovely to eat...I love ducks....my OH hit one with the car, it went under the car, came out the other side, rolled a few times, then got up and waddled off! Tough as old boots or what? 😁
-
You don't usually eat layers ;D - they lay ++ then die ::) - scrawny old things though I did eat 1 of ours. It was fatty. We ate the quails too ;-).
I can't stomach eggs unless they are in :cake: :cupcake: :D You'll be OK in the Birdseye, we'll have a freezer.
Ducks are for eating ....... we'll have feathers for stuffing pillows ;D
-
Oh my God .. this is turning into a horror film !!
There will be no killing of animals at rhe commune.
We will have a few chickens for their eggs. We can keep a couple of ducks as pets. No geese ;D
We will get all our poultry, meat and fish from local farmers. Have big freezers. But try and eat seasonally.
We will definitely need someone good at baking.
Ooooh ... hunky farmers :-* :-* :-*
-
Oh noooooo,I'm veggie,can't kill any animals,I'll buy a Tesco for you all
-
Now your talking Pants.....hunky farmers! 👩🏼🚒◀️ He'll do... ;D
-
Ooowaaaarrr,do farmers say that?or is it pirates 😆😂🤣
-
Ooowarrrrrrr, they do indeed.....😆😂
They loves a bit hay, they's do. 😆😂
-
My luuuuver😆😂 oops,sorry Dorset people
-
get back to the topic ;D
If you won .......... but why not kill your own :-\ why let chickens etc. go to factories :-X ........ I don't like the smell of fish :-X ::) which is why DH cleans and fillets what he catches ;)
-
I was telling my friend about our (my) commune, and I said I didn't want it to be far out, like remote ... in case we got burgled.
She pointed out that it would be a brave individual (man) to break into a house full of peri / meno women !!
Too true. They most definitely would never be seen again ;D
-
So, back on topic ... my commune !! ;D
I think we should have an area for wood cabins or yurts, so that during the summer we can run retreats for those in need (meno women !!). They could stay from 1 week to 6 weeks. Like a business, but affordable.
Then they would have daily nature walks, yoga classes, equine therapy, cooking lessons, educational talks, reflexology / accupuncture and the like.
I can run the business side of things (on my good days) and do the equine therapy thing. :)
-
Just me,clkd, I never get on my soapbox about being veggie and I respect people who want to eat meat,hence I'd buy you a Tesco 😆 I personally would be happy if no animal was ever killed again for consumption but that's not going to happen,so it would be a free range Tesco 😊
Haha pants,no man would be safe
-
How about dog agility classes alongside the equine side of things pants, that'll keep us and the dogs out of trouble, mind last time I crawled through a tunnel to get my dog to follow me I came out panting more than the dog x
-
Haha CG you should watch french and saunders on YouTube when they end up doing the jumps instead of the horses😆
-
So the equine therapy is for our paying guests, to deal with their anxiety.
I'm not sure dog agility would help reduce stress levels. Particularly if our guests keep getting stuck in the tunnels, or half way up the a-frame !! ;D
-
Hello Peeps...been away on a "holiday" a very loose term when visiting family, more like a 10 day marathon! Missed everything, so as a complete diversion from the current discussion (ignore me if you like ;D) if I won the lottery tonight I would (first thoughts...;
Buy a chateau in France (always wanted one...) and house in Turkey right by the beach (just love the heat) and a flat on Poole Quay, cos that's where the kids live and they are always on at us to move back! (although it's usually sunny there I'm more likely to be in either of the other places ;D) Pay off mortgages for errant children. A long wheel base landrover for husband (he's always wanted one more than a merc or some other flash car). Redecorate the whole of this house so I can let it out! Get my droopy eyelids fixed (nothing else really bothers me but that does!) Hire a personal trainer and a cook to keep us ;D on the straight and narrow...cos I'm lazy. Go to the Singapore Grand Prix, Travel. Donate some money to Great Ormond Street Hospital and not much else, cos I've never been one for wanting much except sunshine!
I might buy some tickets to see Barbara Streisand at the Hyde Park Concert next week (they are £300 each!!!!!! - who pays that!) but otherwise????? No save the world projects or major list of extravagancies
-
Lady,
No major extravagancies .... a chateaux in France !!! ;D
-
….one of those run down ones Pants - not really extravagant when you think you can get one for about £300k - not a fully done £1/2 million one, where would be the fun in that! Love DIY me!
-
Ladybt28, when i read that quickly, thought you had written something ran down my pants!!! :rofl:
-
;D ;D I've had many a thing run down my pants! ;D ;D ( joking) ;D
Did you have a nice time Ladybt?
I'd buy hair extensions, good ones, done properly, then cut beautifully. Some famous hairdresser can do them...
-
I like DIY too. Can I come for a visit ? I don't speak very good french though.
Bonjour, je mapelle Pants ??
Foxy ... nothing's running down my pants, not today anyway. Whoop whoop ! ;)
Jilly ... hair extensions ... really ? :-\
;D
-
Only because I'm trying to grow my hair, Pants.
And it's a long hard, and messy road....😢
-
In a weird sort of family, grandchildren christening event type way ;D ;D
Hair extensions defo won't make much of a dent in the current Jackpot of 59 mill JD...honestly????
Fancy sharing out the other £58,999,800 ;) (I think there could be a chateau in there somewhere - even a small one!)
and its "bonjour, je m'appelle Pantalon"! ha ha and course you can!
-
Jill,youre trying to grow your hair pants 😆😂🤣
Oh pants,your name gives us all a laugh
-
its to go with her hair shirt Jay!
-
😆😂🤣😂😆
Nice to have you back ladybt 💗
-
A wig then? .....Mmmm, that might be better....😆
-
If I win that lottery tonight, ( which I doubt very much) I'm going to Australia.
If I can find the strength to fly that far, that is...🛩
Or I could take around the world cruise...Mmmmm decisions decisions......🚢 🤔
-
Don't forget your friends Jill 😆 I'll go the cruise with you,probably get our butts kicked off at first port
-
I'd get a new head, another night of migraine!
-
hey JD but sorry a cruise - no - not even if I won the lottery - doesn't even **** my curiosity.
I've found my French house though £265K. Hubby was showing me houses on Green-acres even the million pound ones, but I kept saying "non"! os they are just not "the right kind of French house" for me. So 265K to buy and another £250k to fit it out with furniture and repairs, that's my idea of fun... I tried really hard this afternoon to spend £1mill but couldn't... hows that???
Nothing about boats grabs me I'm afraid wouldn't buy a Sunseeker yacht if I won, I know some would but not me....now Australia, Hong Kong, Egypt, New Zealand, the Gambia, a Serengeti safari...India....Travelling the world...just not on a boat!
New Head? Foxylady? could do with one of those myself! Ha - do you get to pick a specific kind in your "lottery fantasy"? maybe one "with organised thoughts" or "good at maths"? x
-
Ladybt28, definately more organised thoughts, retaining info better, improved concentration, aesthetically more pleasing would be another bonus!!
-
Of course Jay.....captain? Watch out, the girls will be about! 😆😂
Awww sorry Foxy, have you took anything? 💐
-
Yeh sumatriptan when I got home, same lastnight and had break through bleed today - likely all related (on new HRT regime).
-
Ladybt...I'm not keen on flying, although I do, and I know my OH would like a cruise, especially as it's around the world one........but I get you, boats don't do it for me either.
It's the thought of being out at sea, and the sea scares the life out of me. So, back to deciding what to do.......
-
Yes probably Foxy...hormonal migraine....
You have my sympathy, I get em too ....... :bighug:
-
Thanks Jillydoll!
-
Its weird... I used to get left sided migraine in the left side of my face for eyars and I know I have discussed this on the forum with others but now it has all but stopped. I have only had 2 attacks in 5 months! and they were brought on under severe stress.
Cant say which hormone has stopped them or even it is the hormones (I ditched my AD's and I wonder if that has had an affect?)
or whether I am less anxious cos of the hrt and that has stopped them and they were only stress related.
I do remember when I was on the pill they were bad so would suggest hormonal....just flaming glad they have all but stopped..I sympathise Foxy...very debilitating...make you feel sick too!
So no boats JD and no flying...wigs and hair extensions is thinking too small...what are you going to spend all your money on?
-
What about a pedalo?😆😂 then you can stick to the shallows
-
Good idea Jay. I'll have calf muscles to die for....😂🤣
My lottery win will be spent on a big apartment, you know a luxury one, couple nice cars,
and I'll be able to go away when I want to and stay in luxury hotels. If I can decide how I'm going to get there....😆
I may even buy a villa in Lanzarote, I like Lanzarote. I won't buy a big house because I'm too scared about the house being too big, and all what that entails,so an apartment will do just fine.....OH would buy paintings as and when they come up, for investment for our son.
Can't think of anything else. But I suppose, if I did win it, it would all be so different.
-
Won £30 on Wednesday's lottery. Going to collect it in a mo. Not sure what to spend it on, still haven't spent the £96 from last week ... what am I like !! ::)
-
Won £30 on Wednesday's lottery. Going to collect it in a mo. Not sure what to spend it on, still haven't spent the £96 from last week ... what am I like !! ::)
Spend it on yourself Pants! Massage, nails, hair etc.
-
whoo hoo Pants - maybe you can make it 3 in a row!!! :banana: xxx
-
Yep pants,you're gonna win big next time
-
I am going to win it tonight! Bought a ticket online just before lines closed. :)
-
No to a flight
No to a cruise or yacht
No to going abroad
Yep - MUST HAVE A VIEW ;D
-
Was thinking of saving my winnings for 1 big purchase ... does any body know how much a new ovary costs ;)
-
Well I havnt won it! Not one number! AGAIN.....🤨
-
Just go to your local ovary shop pants,they'll tell you 😆
Aww Jill,so you not buying me anything then?
-
Not this time Jay....your Swedish masseuse will have to wait! 🤣😂
-
You didn't get any numbers JD cos Pant's has them all!!! ;) She's probably going to message us saying she's on her way to the Bahamas with her 3 in a row! or a weekend in Skeggy!
-
😱😢😢😩🥺😔
That pants is so selfish,she could've taken us for goodness sake 😆
-
I think Skeggy is beyond Pants......Ladybt. She's far toooooo posh for that....😆😂
I can see her, in the Bahamas in her own villa, with everything on tap! 🤣😂 🍱🍾🍷
Sunning herself in some designer bikini and kaftan...👙👘 .with her helicopter waiting just incase she wants to hit the shops....🚁 🏪🏦. 🤣😂
-
...we won £2.60 so I need to say sorry to Pants suggesting she took ALL the numbers....oooh so large bag of wine of gums or some ice cream??? decisions, decisions ;D
-
Right now ... the Bahamas are too hot. Anywhere with A/C will do. If Skegness is cool and dry, I'll take it.
Errr... where is Skegness ?? ;)
Yay you LadyBT.
Me ... £4.50. GET IN. ;D
-
£2.39 ;D
-
They never have adverts on the telly with folks winning £4.50 do they?😳
-
:lol:
-
oh well ladies, your dreams will just have to wait!!! re £2.39 & £4.50 win.
-
My dreams were weird last night and didn't concern money at all ::) - a large black dog and a large yaught ......... the dog kept jumping into the water and I couldn't pull it back in ::)
-
No winnings from last night. Maybe my lucky streak is over.
-
:D
-
I couldn't win a p*** up in a brewery!
I've NO luck at all.....😢
-
Hmmm, Jillydoll, I'm pretty sure you'd beat me in a drinking competition ... especially if it's a case of who pee's first - loses, or who nods off first - loses, or who falls over and flashes their knickers first - loses.
I'm a light weight these days.
Oh for the days when I could drink a rugby player under the table if we were on the whisky !! ;D
-
Haha, Pants, I know who would fall over and flash their knickers first! ..ME! 😆😂
But that's if I remembered to wear any in the first place! 😆😂
Especially in heals too! ...... :neutral:
-
heels even ::)
-
Heels.....them aswell.....😂
-
Pants are you o.k?
-
Struggling this evening.
-
Do you want to talk? Pm me if you want I'm still up x
-
Hope your feeling better pants.
I've just checked my Euromillions ticket and won drum roll please £2.70 I'll reinvest and by a ticket for Tomorrow hopefully with better results.
Lanzalover x
-
That would be a chocolate milk-shake for me ;-)
-
I'm winning that lottery tonight, it's got my name in it.... ::)
I say that every week...does no good at all! :-\
-
Jillydoll, I think you'll find that I am going to win. And then it'll be ...
Ovary transplant
Face lift
Boob lift
Bum lift
Big house
Puppy
Age inappropriate boyfriend !!!
Lols. ;D ;D ;D
-
I'm with you on the Bum and Face lift........😉.
I only got one number, 😢 so I'm getting nothing done at the mo! 🤨
You'll get that age inappropriate boyfriend without even trying.....you don't need the lottery for that....😍 😉
-
I asked number 2 son what he wanted for his 21st birthday...he said he wanted bum implants (yes unusual I know.. :lol:) I asked by when I had stopped laughing...
he said he had nothing to hang his trousers on, which way why they kept falling down!!!
No more puppies for me...could buy a bigger house with land and start a dog rescue?... but it would be likely I would never let any of them go "to a good home" - I would end up keeping them all which sort of defeats the object really...
I got my toyboy when I was 46 (hubby is 5 years younger than me) - how inappropriate were you thinking Pants? :madeyes: :bed:
-
OK, OK, LadyBT, don't look so smug with your toyboy !! ;)
Seriously ... there's still hope for me then.
Long term, as I am turning 47 in 11 days, I would go for someone 40-45.
But short term ... a 30 year old would be nice. You know for a few months :jiggy:
;D
-
Don't give up pants,I didn't find true love til I was 48,ok,not with a 30 year old 😆 don't give up hope,you're still young 😊
-
Your not gonna find anyone stuck in your flat, Pants are you....?😉
You need to get out and about girl, put it about a bit.....🤣😂
youll find someone, it'll happen when your not expecting it....xxxxxx😘
-
I got mine in the building section of B & Q Pants! - long story... we were both working there on the twilight shift. ;D
Not that I was "putting it about" JD ;D ;D
-
Be like Jill pants,just grab a guy off the street you fancy,badabing badaboom sorted 😆😂
-
You were after some grouting weren't you Ladybt? 🤣😂
How sexy is that, getting down in the hard hat section? 🤣😂
Oh Jay, you been talking to my neighbors? 🤣😂🤣😂
-
Oh, you ladies. I don't know where I would be without you all.
Hanging around the tiling aisle of my local b&q, I guess !! ;)
-
Not one number again in last nights lottery! 🤬🤬
No one won it...80 million pounds on Friday.........yes 80......🤔 🏝🏖🏝✈️🛩
-
DH had 1 number this week - so we won't be arguing on how to spend the winnings ;D
-
I don't know why I play the lottery.
They say it ruins everything.
The curse of the lottery they call it, lots of people have split up because of arguing over the money...
Maybe £80 mil would be too much for one person who has never had big money before. 🤔
Money is the route to all evil! ...hahahaha hahahaha..( in Vincent price voice) 🧟♂️. 😆
-
I could cope with £10m. I'd be very happy with £5m. I wouldn't sniff at £1m.
'Luckily' I don't have anyone to argue with ;)
-
No argument here either,would be mine,end of 😆😂🤣
-
I think it would literally do my head in.....
Sooo many people to help, and family to sort....
It would take me a while to get used to it.......I think....😏
-
But you'd give it a good go, though. :)
If anyone did win big (really big), I'm happy to provide support, advice etc.
For a fee, of course ;) ;D
-
In that case then...Pants.......consider yourself hired! ;D ;D
When I eventually win it....of course......
-
Don't forget your friends Jill,that's me btw 😆😂🤣
-
We'd be off on a round the world cruise...wuhhoo......🚢🗽🏝🌋🏔🗽
Just us tho, no blokes! 🤣😂
-
I don't have friends ........... don't know 10 people I would want to share a table with
Family can make their own way - they don't support us now so don't bother :worm: up when they think they could be 'friends'
2 Nephews (late 30s) might get some invested for their retirement needs
I wouldn't put any into charity unless I could see that they required help. Each one has to have £5,000 in order to close the company B4 planning consent is given and each one has to publish Annual Accounts - so it would be practical rather than financial help into the coffers ;-)
My anxiety would stop me travelling - unless my Dentist and GP could come along too - then it's off to the Italian Lakes ;-) 8)
-
Jill and I would force our friendship on you though clkd 😂🤣 seriously,there's NOTHING to not love about us,we're fabulous 😂🤣😆
I'm like you though, I don't actually know 10 people I'd want to be around for too long. I met Jill through this site & we both clicked,rare for the two of us,so we'd just drag you along,you'd have no say in the matter 😂🤣😆
-
You mean that you don't already - drag me along :lol:
:thankyou:
-
Ya love us really 😆😊💗💗
-
When you are all asleep :D
-
and then you don't know what they're dreaming about CLKD ;)
x
-
🤣😂 we drag her down,! Jay! 😱
I don't know 10 people either that I'd want to spend time with.
Not sure I'd want to. 😂🤣
-
Me?me?who'd not want 10 of me? Leave it 😆😂
Haha ladybt you'd not want to know what I dream about 😆
-
It's OK we have a dream thread here amongst the others ;D
-
We don't want to hear about Jays dreams! They're too weird for anyone but her . 🤣😂
Imagine 20 of us.......🙀🙀🙀. 😂🤣
-
Is that 20 together :o
-
You or nobody else could deal with 20 of Jill 🤣😆😂 now me on the other hand😇😇😇😇😇
I saw the most beautiful house yesterday,big big windows,sitting in an elevated position overlooking a loch with mountains in the background,up for sale,so if anyone wins can you buy me it please,I'd be very grateful 😆😊
-
Links?
-
sounds lovely jaypo, count me in!! ;D Could have a dip in the loch when it get's too hot!!
-
I hoped you were all here. Just read back the posts I missed. Bad few days and I just said to CLKD on the other thread I need to lighten up a bit. Tonight. and I knew ecactly where to come!!.
How is everyone this eve. What's the topic tonight?
-
Buying ME a house when you win the lottery tc,not that I'm selfish or anything 😆😂
-
Oh foxy it was out of this world,it wasn't overlooking a loch my OH has just informed me,it was the very tail end of the Firth of Clyde
-
Oookay. I cant get a mortgage so I guess I will have to start playing the lottery in earnest. :)
It does sound idyllic
-
Well up you come to Scotland tc,the tranquility will make you feel so much better 😊💗
-
My wife was from Scotland. She was from Glasgow so not that tranquil but we made many trips to some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.so yes I would. Xx
-
Oh,we're not too far from Glasgow,we take the gourock ferry to Dunoon then into the beautiful mountains 😊

I've never done that we used to go up to the lochs. A place that sticks in my mind is ballachulish. We had a lovely romantic weekend and in a hotel on one side but could also use the sister hotel on the other side thanks to the "new" bridge the locals were so proud of. I even remember my meal, trout the best steak I've ever eaten in my life followed by cranachan and then a glass of something very old and malty by the fire. Heaven.
Have you been there?
-
I've never had cranachan, always meant to try it!!
-
Foxy. My wife hated it. But i loved it. I loved the bagpipes too and she hated them. Have you visited the lochs foxy?
-
Is that something to add to the recipe thread?
If I won ........... same old, same old :D
-
Clkd. The influence of this thread lead me to buy loterry tickets last week. Not one number!! I never count on winning anything. !!
I've got a funny true story if you want to hear it?
-
Go on Tc, I'm all ears.
-
Yeah go on TC we're all ears....😆 👂🏼👂🏼👂🏼👂🏼👂🏼👂🏼
-
yep - will I need Tena lady though ? ;)
We have a ticket - £K86? would be OK?
-
I couldn't find any ears ... could only find a nose, some eyes and a tongue !!!
-
Have a look at 'rural scene' web-site, some lovely places on there across the UK ;)
-
I havnt done tonight's lottery, forgot! :bang:
-
Soz. My aunt just phoned me.
So....me and my wife took my niece and nephew to paradise wildle park. He was about 3/4
He was always so chatty and we came upon two parrots sitting on a perch (sadly in a cage,) straight away he said "hello" and I'm not kidding this parrot said "hello" and he said " I wasnt talking to you I was talking to him". pointing to the other one!!
I will never forget it till the day I die and it always makes me smile. :)
-
Aww TC what a lovely memory for you to keep refreshing in your mind.
Thanx for sharing...x
-
That's lovely Tc.
My bestie has parrots. The macaw scares the cr*p out of me. She will have your fingers.
The 2 grey parrots swear at each other, and at the dogs. I taught one of them 'for f's sake' by accident. She picks things up really quickly ;)

Yes I've been there and had cranachan 🤢 😆 that's lovely memories tc ,really lovely 💗💗
-
I would buy an army of zombies and conquer the world... or better, I'd give all except 1 million to Miguel Alcubierre so he could build a WARP spaceship for me, I'd go where no woman has gone before and tell the Earthlings to f### off
Miguel Alcubierre's WARP engine:

I like your style Cacarosa. Although my anxiety is stopping me flying at the moment, so space travel might be a bit of a stretch !!
I didn't win tonight anyway. ::)
-
Not been to Ballachullish TC but childhood haunt was Balloch near Loch Lomond, travelled up to the islands a fair bit so enjoyed lovely seanery (including lochs). Glorious, especilly if the sun is shining! ;D re the parrots. x
-
Nowhere more beautiful than the west coast of Scotland is there foxy?when the sun shines its actually the best place in the world
Did you get my joke?when the sun shines 😆😂😆
-
West Coast has it's microclimate. My fav place is Plockton ......... I first visited at 11 and it hasn't altered much as it's managed - people have to get permission to decorate inside and out to keep colours 'the same'. I took Himself there many years later and he loved it too. Ullapool was lovely from what I remember but a long way from Plockton. The Isle of Sky was lovely but we had 5 days of FabULus weather :-*. However, as we age we need to remember how far the journey might be to Hospital ;D
-
It does have a micro climate. I went once in early October. Still warm during day and the colours were amazing
X
-
Come to Dunoon tc,spare room here 😊
-
What a kind offer Jay. :bighug:
You might regret it one of these days :)
I hope there is a time when I can travel again.
Have you always lived in dunoon?
-
I don't know Plockton but been to Ullapool more times than I can possibly remember getiing the ferry to Stornoway! Jaypo def right re sun shine, we can but hope ;D You will be inundated with MM ladies wanting to come doon the water!!! ;D
-
Not anyone last night! DH had 1 number :( ..........
-
No,tc I'm an Aberdeen gal,moved to Wiltshire but have a holiday lodge in Dunoon,my OH from Skye.omg,what fun,all the meno ladies coming over on the ferry 😆😂
-
What Ferry :-\
-
Ferry from gourock to Dunoon clkd much quicker than driving over the erskine bridge and going the long way round 😊
-
That should have been 'which' ........
I don't do ferries :-X
-
Haha,I'm not great if it's rough and once we did go the long way round as there was NO WAY I was bobbing about on it,it's only 20 mins though
-
Jaypo. I ve just opened the thread and I read your last comment first.
I had to scroll up.to check exactly what you were talking about :rofl:
Re read it again out of context and you'll see what I mean :o :o :o
-
OMG!!!! 😆😂🤣😂😆😂🤣😂😆😂😂🤣😂😆
-
What the hell is Cranachon? Or how ever you spell it! 😆
There's quite a few earthlings I'd like to tell to eff off aswell Cacarosa.......🤨 😆
I'm with you on that one.......👍🏻
That's jay for you.....😂🤣🤣😂
-
Omg,I'm actually crying with laughter here
-
I quite like bobbing around on it! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
-
You can sing while bobbing! 🤣😂🤣😂
-
cranachan - sounds like something out of War of the Worlds :o
-
Funniest one yet Jay : :D
-
It's a pudding Jill like oats and stuff,that makes it sound lovely
Aww geeze, never gonna live that one down
AND 20minutes?!?! 20 seconds if I'm lucky 😆😂
-
My wife used to make a great full Scottish.
Eggs, Tatty scones, Lorne sausage, black pudding, white pudding and fruit pudding. Didnt like the fruit pudding. It was like eating Christmas pud with your fry up!!!
The other thing she never stopped asking for in shops dow here was plain bread. They actually got some in at our local tesco for her!!
-
my OH likes lorne sausage but it's hard to get in englandshire,think it's just called square sausage.
Did you ever try haggis?🤢🤮
-
I m ot a great meat eater but I didnt mi d it occasionally I take it you're not a fan?
Yes square sausage down here.
The other thing was tablet. Every sweetshop in London and the home counties, she would try a bit ,screw her nose up and say "nah that's ne proper tablet". I stg the real thing is the sweetest thing I've ever tasted in my life. My teeth hurt thinking about it
-
No,I'm veggie 😆ooww but tablet is nice though,but one little bit enough ,deep fried mars bar?😆😂 we're very healthy here in Scotland 😆😂🤣
-
Deep fried mars bar? 🤢🤢🤮🤮
-
I well I'm from the east end London and I grew up eating pie and mash. Not sure how healthy that is.either.
Up in Scotland, one evening my wifes family were all together and I went out for the fish. They told me to get 10 fish suppers. So I ordered 10 fish suppers and chips. The guy serving asked me if I was sure. I thought "why wouldn't we want chips with our fish!!
the bag seemed heavy and when I got it back indoors everyone fell about laughing. 20 portions of chips. !!!
-
😆😂🤣😂😆 brilliant
-
Jill,they would deep fry everything here if they could
-
I suppose you've got to keep your strength up for bobbing about
-
Jilly could I tempt you with a deep fried bounty?
-
What about the fish tho TC, didn't he give you the fish aswell?
No thanx......that's a crime.....😆
-
I heard about the deep fried Mars bar on the radio a couple years back when they started, makes me feel really :beaurk: :sick02: just thinking about it - but then I don't eat chocolate!
-
Wow, wow, wow, you don't eat chocolate!!!!
How do you do that? 🤣😂
-
What!!!! YG you must be missing the chocolate gene. Wish I was. You do have the best tea though and the best batter puddings
Yes jilly got the fish. I didnt realise a fish supper includes the chips. It's like a linguistic minefield once you get past berwick.
-
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 can't understand a word.....🤣😂
-
Lived in the Isle of man for a few years, no square sausage there or proper black pudding (stornoway) either. Only recently have I started eating Haggis. Bobbing about..are we back on the naked strawberries thread??? ;D
-
I'll be bobbing about tomorrow tc 😳😳😆😂
-
Oh Those Haggis - so difficult to catch ;D
Deep friend Mars bars :sick02:
YG? never eaten chocolate? or 'gone off' it? I couldn't live without knowing it was available ::), watching a programme earlier about making bars - they said that Yorkie didn't appear until 1971 but I remember buying it B4 then :-\
Oh - we could have a chocolote factory if we won £Ms ;D
-
No, Foxy, jay likes bobbing about on summat or other......😂🤣
She might have naked strawberries with her aswell tho....😆😂
-
Strawberries dipped in chocolate?
-
Oh yesssssss please,I'll have them dipped in white chocolate though
My strawberries Jill my strawberries 🍓🙄😆
-
Plenty to go round ;D
-
🤢 white chocolate.
Dipped in strawberry sauce.....✔️
-
Hey CLKD better not get JILLYJAY talking about their 'raspberries" :o
-
My raspberries are washed cleaned, and ready to be devoured! 🤣😂🤣
-
:) nice one jilly.
I've got to go. I sat on my number 3 glasses and I'm using 1.5 and ivecbeen on my phone all day and I can see axbloody think right now. My eyes have given up. :o
Sweet dreams ladies xxx
-
Hey,you leave my raspberries out of this tc 😆😂 & I think you'll find it's jayjilly 😂🤣
-
Oh TC, I do that all the time, try to type or read without my glasses on. My eyes end up in all directions. 🤣😂 makes me sooo tired. So, I've glasses upstairs, downstairs, and everywhere! ( I was gonna say, in my ladies chamber) 🤣😂🤣
I always keep mine on my head...👓
Oh, I think jillyjay has a better ring to it than, jayjilly......don't you agree? 😆😂
-
If I won .............. 'if' :-\ ::)
-
Yeah.......? Carry on......🙂
-
I certainly would carry on, you'd hear my screams of delight from there ;D
Still want that bungalow with heated swimming pool off the bedroom ..........
-
Oh yes Tc I love a Yorkshire pud
CKLD I used to eat chocolate, i went from milk chocolate to dark only, gave it up for lent a few years ago after having eaten too much at Christmas, when I had it again after lent didn't like the taste and haven't had any since.
-
Don't know about screams of delight, think I'd pass out! 😂
-
I found in the 1990s that chocate made me sluggish ........... but got into it again through necessity :D
-
I wish I didn't like chocolate, it's been my downfall over many years, now taken control of it & sweet things generally, limiting myself to one day a week having a sweet treat (raspberry & bluberry riple cake at Costa on Friday :P).
-
Yes that's exactly what im going to do Foxy....
No chocolate or anything in the week, just on a Saturday.
Starting this week....just hope I can stick to it....😏
-
I'm going to exercise every day starting tomorrow,I look like I'm 8 months pregnant 🤰 crisps are my downfall 🤤
-
Jaypo glad I'm not the only one, they are my downfall as well!
-
I've now started buying packs of six little bags as if I buy a big bag I'd just eat them all🙄
-
Put them high up so that one has to get a stool to reach them ?
If I won the lottery - large motor home with driver ;-)
-
Cliff Richard? I've seen him drive a bus.
-
🤣😂🤣😂 were all going on a summer holiday.....🎼🎤 :cancan:
Come on girls......... :ola:
No more.............🎼🎤. 😆😂
-
:lol: Cliff had a very bright jacket on when at Wimbledon at the weekend and paused to sign autographs :-*
He looked a lot younger than of late too.
Yep. Thought a driver so that Cliff can sing as we go ?
-
Tom Hardy will do then, I'm sure he won't mind me sitting on his lap whilst driving...🚌 😆
Cliff looks better now, he's been through so much being falsely accused.....😡
I'm glad he's suing them...good on him.....
-
Ooh yes Tom Hardy, may have to fight over him!
I agree about Cliff, he looked so fragile during that time :(
-
Don't forget the Invictus aftershave advert model,phwaaarrr😆 he can drive my bus any day of the week 😳
-
what colours your bus jaypo?? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
😆😂🤣😂😆
-
If only 🙏
Lanzalover x
-
I did win a fiver on Tuesday...😏
-
Oh - that's 5 bars of chocolate then or a milk shake with ice-cream?
Who is Tom Hardy :-\ ........
My bus will be purple, what else ;D - with bright yellow seats and a bright lilac steering wheel cover
-
Tom hardy is an actor who Jill has naughty dreams about 😳 as does my daughter
-
........... and yourself?
-
My husband of course 😇😇😇😇😇
And wouldn't pass Johnny Depp up,especially if he was dressed as jack sparrow 🥰😍🥰
-
Omg.....yes.....jack sparrow.....😍😍😍😍
Mind you, have you seen Tom Hardys wife?
I wouldn't stand a chance! Plus, she's young! ☹️☹️
On the other hand, your daughter would be in with a chance Jay.....🤨😡
Tom Hardy is a total dog lover.....he was in an episode with Paul O Grady, at battersea dogs home.... 😌😌
-
I won another £30 on Saturday. I have never won so much in such little time !! Someone on here is my lucky charm.
Probably going to spend all my winnings and my birthday money on hot flush proof bedding !!
I KNOW HOW TO LIVE ;D
Need to check my numbers for tonights draw. It rolled down, again.
-
Oh I saw him on that Jill, I LOVE Paul O'Grady
When's your birthday pants?
-
On Saturday Jaypo.
Not looking forward to it, to be honest. Just another day, home alone, feeling miserable.
-
You won't be alone 'cos we are here ........... let us know your address and we'll be round ;)
Make plans to treat yourself? A good book. A walk in the sunshine. Bubble bath .......... lots of hot water. :cake:
-
Sorry pants 😢 but you are right,it is just another day, I certainly don't celebrate birthdays anymore,now you see,if we all lived closer we could drag your arse on a night out😆
-
Oh I celebrate :bouncing: but not so much
C.mas
-
Pants? Get yourself a bottle of something, and have a drink....OR, get some lovely takeaway for yourself and enjoy....OR....go out in the prowl looking for your toy boy.....you never know...🤣😂🤣 you may just hit the jackpot! 😉
-
Sorry Pants, I agree go get yourself a bottle of Prosecco & your favourite meal with a film, you could go out into town and treat yourself.
-
Iove that you ladies are so optimistic ... go out ! go on the prowl !!
Darlings ... you know I am barely leaving the house.
I weighed myself today, and have put on 10 pounds in 4 weeks... WTF >:(
I haven't had my hair cut or coloured for months.
I'm now covered in spots and am growing a quite respectable beard ;D
And (quite frankly) I smell a bit too.
Go me, go me, go me :jiggy: :banana: :spin:
:'(
-
Awww Pants! What we gonna do with ya babe....?
Well, there you go, force yourself to go and get your hair done. That'll be nice.
Once you've done that, you never know, it might pick you up heaps and bounds.
I know it's not easy, omg, I do know, but if you can't do that, at least have summat nice to eat and have a drink. 🙂 oh, and have a wash! 😉. 😘😘
-
Hairdresses attend at home ;-)
One can remain sweetly smelling but going nude :o .... too chilly to stand under a hose ;-)
I never weigh, I can tell by the belt ::)
-
I never weigh myself either,when my anxiety was at it's worst,I'd weigh myself,see that I'd lost even more weight which in turn would make me even more anxious ,round and round 😏
-
We need to get pants a nice day ! So:
:hbday:
:wish:
:cupcake:
:bbq:
Good Book? Bubble bath ...........
-
:hbday:
Happy birthday Pants for Saturday...... :bday3:
We're a bit early, but what the heck! ;D. :party09:
:ola:
What time round yours?
We'll bring a bottle....🍾🍾 or two...... :party:
-
Omg,think she'd rather be on her own than have us descend upon her😆😂 we'd cheer you up pants 😁
-
You can all come round mine ...
someone will need to be in charge of food,
someone else can sort the drinks ... I do like a prosecco (but haven't had a tiple since, I don't know when)
and can someone bring their dogs (big or small, I dont mind, as long as they don't mind being cuddled ... excessively ;))
what else do we need ??
xx
-
That's my two in the pic,they love cuddles,I like Prosecco too,so we better get plenty in 🥴🥴🤣😂 which part of the world are you in pants?
-
I don't drink but I do a good line in washing up ;D
Seriously - I don't like to think of you on your own 4 your birthday :'(
-
Stop it CLKD ... you'll make me cry. It's just another day, really.
Jaypo ... I'm South Oxfordshire. Near Henley.
-
Aww bum,I'm in Wiltshire,bit away ☹️ Shame coz Jill and I would've landed on your doorstep,although clkd would have us on short leads 😆😂
-
Now I need to google Wiltshire. My geography is .... pants !
-
South west pants,not too far from Bath and Bristol
-
A bit far from Yorkshire :(
Maybe we should have an online party :)
-
Wiltshire actually ain't far from Henley. Posh down there though ;-)
If I won later .............. or next week or next month ;D
When I won £50.00 from ERNIE I thought that I owed money: it arrived in a small brown envelope ::) and I spent it several times ;D
-
Of course it's posh,I live here 😂🤣 no,it really is posh 😳
I had an ex called that clkd,don't ever mention that name again,it sent me into shock 😲
-
Henley or Ernie ;D
-
😆😂🤣😂😆 the one that drove the fastest milk cart in the west
-
May I laugh .........
-
Well,who wouldn't 😆😂🤣
-
I'm laughing! :rofl: Ernie.....🎶🎵 😆😂🤣 did he get a pork pie in his eye? 🤣😂
I used to love that song...😊
-
Such a beautiful name isn't it?😆😂🤣😂😆
-
If I won the lottery 2night ....... new kitchen and extension
-
New kitchen......yeahhhhh.....with you on that one...
Mind you, it'd be a new house, forget the new kitchen....
-
For DH so I wouldn't have much say in the matter ;D
-
Lucky lucky you.....
I'd love my OH cook me a meal.....on the other hand, I do still want to live! 🤣😂🤣
-
I'd starve to death if it was left to my OH so maybe I'd purchase a Michelin star chef if I won
-
I would have a hairdresser every morning and a foot massage whilst she was doing my hair ;)
-
Yes CLKD, sounds good to me. I never thought I'd like a foot massage as I have tickly feet but boy did I enjoy my massage on Wed!!! aaaah
-
Didn't win squiddly dot on the lottery Friday!
At least it was rolled down and many people won something...good for them.....👍🏻
-
It should be shared ..........
-
One ticket in the UK won £170million this evening ... off to check my tickets ;)
-
It wasn't ours ;D
I would sponsor a cycling team. Or a chef for a Team that is on a small budget. Or a friend who has taken up archery and needs assistance.
Then ???
-
No, not me either....🤦♀️
One number I had.
-
Jill I was depending on you to buy us a big house in Scotland 😏
-
Not me. Got 2 numbers. :o
-
It wasn't us either :(
-
It wasn't me so back to work tomorrow :'(
Lanzalover x
-
£8m+ on tonight's regular lottery. That'll do me nicely.
-
Go for IT! ;D
-
Aww I'm sorry Jay....I did try....oh well, back to the drawing board...🤦♀️
-
it wasn't us either :'( I think when it gets to over 130 million and up to these huge, huge amounts of 170 million, it should be broken up into smaller amounts. They should give out loads of prizes of £2 million tops, make loads of peoples lives better.
Anyone got any friends "with the gift of second sight" or whose a pretty nify tarot reader for the next one?
-
No, but I wish I did... ;D I agree though, it should be broken down. It would make a lot of people's lives better. 🤷♀️
-
Noooooo booooooooooooo ;D
-
I know a castle in Scotland which has a tidal swimming pool ..........
-
Now a swimming pool,maybe I should mention this to my OH for our new abode in Scotland,or maybe not ;D we have Loch Fyne to swim in
-
Oh - think of all those birds and fish, pooooohing ..........
-
You're made of tougher stuff than me jaypo, no way am I breaking the ice to go swimming in a Loch. I prefer the temperature in the Indian ocean :)
-
If I won the lottery I'd move the family lock stock and barrel to Devon.Not for me, for the grandchildren who love it there. We wouldn't be on top of each other but near enough to get together. A little annexed for my mum, a bungalow for us and within easy reach of the coast and the moors.
-
Haha not tough at all Sheila,be lucky I'd I dip my big toe in there ;D
-
I'd buy a country house somewhere. I could go for walks and see the country side.
Plus, my own indoor swimming pool. I don't do cold. 🤔
Ok, back to reality, ☹️
-
My bungalow will have a covered, heated swimming pool off our bedroom which opens onto a enclosed patio garden with rosemary, lavender, roses and :sunny:
-
Mmmm, good idea, I love rose and lavender scent.
Oh, what are those white flowers...🤔 magnolias? Highly scented, love those too.
-
Mine will open out onto a pub ;D
-
;D
