Fendy v NatWest - 16K - **FINALLY WON**

[Seahorse]

HOORAH FOR ENAID'S GNASHERS!!!

 

Not TOO much rum, tho. Don't want to see you on the telly on Airport getting punchy with security cos they won't let a drunken cagger on the plane.

[enaid]

That might just be my 15 mins of fame that people go on about. Anyway I could sup a whole flaggon of rum, but as soon as i go in that tunnel thingy to get on the plane I sober up. Once again congrats on your win, have you got a little bit of your fight back now? I hope so;)

[Jetspark]

:D . Good news all round then. Fantastic! Wot plane enaid? Sparkie

[enaid]

Benidorm in a couple of weeks, 22 woman so it should be a good do:D

Thing is I hate flying and on the news this morning it was on about that Manchester plane in flames because 2 birds flew in it's engine, scared me to death, anyway I'm still going

[Seahorse]

Great news Seahorse, romantic meal is should be, dont forget to wear your hats . Loving that horsey pic by the way, we have a little horsey we keep at my mums in worcestershire. Grew up with horses, love them, that is until they chuck me off, like she did at easter! Ouch! Have a great day. Sparkie (maybe hedgey shdve called me in to sort her leccie out )

 

My brain has turned to mush. Hats? Horsey pic?

 

And getting chucked off is just their little way of saying they love ya.

 

And Hedgey... just leave the DIY to the experts. Men, I'm talking about.

[Jetspark]

Hats - doesnt the missus make hats?

 

Horsey pic on your my space thingy?

 

While i'm at it, i am from a wee town in scotland called perth

[Jetspark]

You'll be fine enaid, just keep on the rum . Dont worry about birds flying into plane, if it happens to your group there will still be 20 left . Off to write letter to cobblers now. Sparkie

Yaaaaaaaaaaay Barbados Extra Old Mountgay rum. Gorgeous.......... Well on account of my detoxy is over and Ive lost a total of 1 stone and 4 lbs. Im well happy. The weight thingy was never the intention, I was doing it in support of hubby, but hes lost a whacking two stone and is looking super slim again. Back in his 34" waist pants, so hes delirious. Guess what Im having for tea........ Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, curry. !! Cant wait. Had lovely Crunchy Nut cornflakes for brekky, Tuna salad for lunch, healthy I suppose, and curry for tea, and I might even have one glass of white wine with that. yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, Fendys detox is over. I feel fantastic, on cloud nine, and ready to tackle anything that nutty west or the cobblers chuck this way.......................

 

Enaid, planes, dont get me started. I go on them in order to get from A to B, i.e. on holiday once a year, but apart from that, I hate em. Im not a natural flyer, Im petrified beyond belief. Not of the actual planes as such, but Ive had a recurring dream about being in a plane crash since I was a kid. My first ever holiday to spain with my parents when I was 3, and been going all over ever since, and still have not managed to shake my fear of plane crashes. Its like this, I know theres more danger in getting in my car every day, but in a car crash you have a change of survival, but lets be honest, if a plane is going down, theres no coming back from that one. Names one instance when a plane has landed on water and people have survived. Never happened. ?????

 

See my point. If something goes wrong up there, youre a gonner, and imagine the 3-9 minute ride down from the skies knowing you are going to certain death at the end of that terrifying never ending fall. Woooahhh too much reality for me........... I would hope one would pass out way before impact. I can hope anyway................. but nope, Im not big on planes....... never have been, never will be......... but it wont stop me going on them, in order to get a very enjoyable holiday.

 

Its one of those things,, that fear or not, it must be faced. But I am terrified, honest.

 

Sparkies onward and upward with claim, hedgeys leccies back on, Seahorsey has got lovely spondoolies in his bank in order to take out the lovely Mrs Seahorse for tea, (now I personally think thats a cop out Mr. Seahorsey, you just didnt fancy cooking tonight did ya, Lol )...... and Enaid, well, at least you have lovely holiday to look forward to. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, not a bad monday after all, so far. Lol xxxx

[Jetspark]

Hi Fendy, ur garden sounds absolutely bliss, like hedgey says cant wait to see the piccies. How do you do it all....

 

As far as planes are concerned, i did actually have a story to tell about that too but decided not to in case it made enaid even worse! No wonder she hasnt replied, omg, come back enaid, everything will be fine. Tell it how it is Fend Off to pick up kiddies now and if i can get a look in on the computer later i will catch up. Have a super rest of day, enjoy the curry and wine, you sooo deserve it, am full of admiration for you. . Sparkie

[fendyweather]

Yeah sorry Enaid. A bit too much info there. Lol xxx Was just trying to say I know how ya feel dear. I hate flying too. Fendy xx

[enaid]

No mither Fendy, I will be going, I just wish they could beam me up Scotty. If it were one of them planes with a settee, bar, double bed etc then that would make it easier.

[archer_66]

my aunts the same though the siblings wont take her on a plane anymore cos theyre scared she'll have a heart attack next time she gets so wound up!

[Jetspark]

I've got so much to catch up on - on this thread alone so I'll see you in about hmmmmmmm 10 hours \o/

[fendyweather]

Lol Lol. Morning ya happy bunch of Alpha Females, all claiming ya spondoolies back from grubby grabbing banks. Cripes Ive such admiration for us laydeeeeees on here for having the gumption to stand up and face the music, and take it to heart and dance with the likes of the big bods and Cobblers, like weve only just learned to Samba................. yaaaaaaaaaaaay or the Samba..................... although Im still waiting for mine to move up to the foxtrot........... Lol. The rate Cobblers are going I will be old and grey and maybe only up for a waltz, the length of time these claims take to settle.

 

Feeling in a SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER boogie kinda dancey mood today. Im at work, of course, need to earn a crust somehow, lol, but boss is still away, so the little mice will play, but only for ten mins. And just to be fair to the company, I will have ten mins less at lunchtime. There, poltical correctness gone made again. The sun was shining like a beautiful bright ball of flame this morning, throwing warmth and happiness all around the deep valley I reside in. It was beautiful. From my upstairs bedroom window I can see, from Oakies, right across to Oldfield/Stanbury/Haworth/Oxenhope/Denholme and Ogden Moor at Halifax. Tis a breathtaking sight. I stood for ages enjoying my crunchy nut nutty taking in the beautiful view from my window, ready to face another day and hopefully do battle with the Cobblers. Missed postie, had to leave earlier than he turns up so no juicy postie bottie today. But the weather sure as heck makes up for it................... tis gorgeous. Warm, sunny, clear, the reservoir that I look out over at work, is crystal, and still, like a stunning mill pond and the ducks and swans are a plenty this morning. Oooooh my, its great to be alive on days like this.

 

And my daughters friend (male), lead singer in the band theyre in, has a little sister. The little sister has a tortoise she got 2 years ago. Well shes bored with it, and has asked if we want it. Now being lover of all things living and animal, am very tempted to get it for the little boy. Hes been nattering for a lizard or something equally as yukky for his birthday coming up in July. And I was thinking I would much rather have a tortoise than a lizard. Cant cope with feeding live crickets to a lizard. Something inhumane about it.................. so, Im thinking, this tortoise is still only small and two years old, and called, wait for this,............. ELVIS......... so Im thinking I might take the tortoise on for my iccle boy. But not knowing the first thing about how to care for them, I need to do some research first. I want it to be loved and looked after properly and ensure it stays in peak health, so need to do my homework on it first.................

 

The one and only thing that bothers me is this.................... I know we would have to have warm box in garage with heat lamp for said iccle tortoise at nights and in winter, but Ive heard theyre ok wandering around you garden in summer when its warm, but have to be brought in at night. And that doesnt bother me, I know I would end up cleaning up after said Elvis tortoise, but just wanted to know. Does anybody know. Do tortoises smell ????? i.e. I know it would need cleaning out say once a week, or even twice, but does tortoise poopy smell ?? Dont want a smelly garage ???

 

Answers please, any tortoise keepers ?????

 

Enaid, you might have a friend soon. Lol Lol Lol. Elvis the tortoise...........xxxx MY LITTLE BOY WOULD GO APE............. and I would prefer it to a lizard or a snake. No snake is setting foot in my home. Ever......................... eughgghghghghggh. I thought of a fluffy bunny, but on account of the dog would chase it, and no doubt eat it, thats not really a good idea. So had to rule out bunny, and hamster, cos hamsters pong a bit............... I dont do pongs in the house.......... Lol xxxxxx

[Caz1974]

Fendy we have a tortoise called *Baby* lol and a African side necked turtle!!

Snatch her hand off for Elvis because they're really hard to get hold of!

Baby was my dads (who lives on a farm) she's been alive longer than me ( we estimate her to be in her 60's.

TBH depending on Elvis's breed they are completely fine without a heat lamp.Make sure your garden is well fenced though because the little story about tortoises not being able to run is a myth! Baby potters around with one of the cats sitting on her back and takes great delight playing with the hedgehogs under the hedgerow.

We fetch her in every night and she snuggles up in the suede cat igloo (purchased for the cats but never entertained by them) Also in the winter the heating in the house is enough to ensure she sleeps soundly for about 8 weeks she climbs in the igloo and sleeps for about 10 -12 weeks then just springs back to life when the sun comes out:D

[Caz1974]

She is a great recycler too and eats all the veggie trimmings when we have a cooked dinner - there's no special rules and most pet shops sell expensive vavariums with heat lamps and thermostats etc.But it all depends on her breed (they do have a tendancy to try and sell you expensive things you don't need)

Our African side necked turtle lives in one of those because she loves to swim but in the summer months she chases Baby around the garden nipping at her behind and then swims in her own paddling pool n basks in the sunshine.

They've never pooped in the house yet so I wouldn't worry too much about that but they do like a little sandpit to dig in.

The only thing to really be aware of is that they can live for over 200 years ( I personally think they make great pets because unlike hamsters or small animals you don't have the problem of the kiddies getting attached to then having to explain in a year or so they've gone to heaven )

Elvis will hopefully outlive you all and give you years of fun along the way;)

[Caz1974]

One problem though your doggy might try to eat the stone with legs that moves!

[enaid]

Morning Caz,

You certainly do have an array of animals don't you? I had tortoises when I was a kid, but mine never lived long, I suppose in those days, as they were very common and not much known about them, not many did.

Would love to squeeze you in me suitcase, but alas I have that much fancy dress gear, i only have room left for basics, sorry.

I've been a member of this site for years and you'll find all your answers to the research here.

There's lots of different breeds so the first thing to do is to find out exactly what sort little Elvis is (look at some of the pics they're great how they live in America) they build big ponds and rockeries for said turtles to roam:D
