How's our resident English Muffin? I see you lurking!!

I have become a bit of a lurker of late, too much stress in my life!!

I have the movers coming on Thursday to take all my stuff to Charlotte so I'm busy sorting everything out. I don't leave until Saturday and it's going to be a bit weird in the house for a couple of days. I'll have a bed, a radio, my laptop and that's about it - no couch or TV!

I will have my internet connection though so that is ok and Scott will be keeping me company after work - he's bringing Scrabble with him.

I could have left Thursday or Friday but I think I'd rather drive that kind of distance at the weekend when the roads are quieter. I didn't fancy hitting NYC at rush hour on a Friday.

That's all my news for now.

Hahah - I'll try to make sure my fingerprints match the previous 25 prints they have taken from me

how did you manage to give twenty-FIVE? did you just do one hand once?

Agnes, I'm waiting to hear stories about the guests from hell! c'mon, you know they don't come in here, so you can let rip

Aw, Gillian, *hugs* Thanks for the update! I hope it all goes well with the move and the drive. You'll have to find w wifi connection along the way and post here with your progress!

Good point StP about Aly's fingerprints! That is a conundrum!!

I don't do long drives so I'm staying overnight in hotels in PA and VA and I made sure that my hotels had internet connections.

I will keep you all updated on my travels.

Does Griff have a job now too? I don´t remember reading anything about that

Glad you are ok STP

Out of a sudden it´s pretty cold and rainy here...hope it clears out soon cuz the weather before was really lovely and that´s what we would prefer for the wedding next week Leaves are still green but the leaves in vineyards are slowly starting to turn yellow and other nice colours

Congratulations on your anniversary Julez!!

Gillian, I look forward to reading about your adventures in NC. I'm sure there are mixed feelings right now but I'm also sure you'll find happiness along the way

No, at the moment Griff is still enjoying his retirement, although its definitely wearing thin. He would like to get some sort of job, just so he could meet other people. I mean, I'm great and all, but he needs other people too!

Congratulations on your anniversary Julez!!

Thanks babbles! You'll always be babbles to me too!

*rolls eyes @ Gillian and Julez*

It's ok, I don't mind. I just fancied a change plus I was really suffering from the heat here that day.

Well at least you have company in the evening - I am glad you and Scott are getting on well again

Agnes, I'm waiting to hear stories about the guests from hell! c'mon, you know they don't come in here, so you can let rip

Nope! Each hand once - I have 7 fingers on one hand and 18 on the other

And I wanna hear about the guests from hell as well

We just got a baby rescue kitten - a little tom who is three months old and adorable. Daisy is now very p*ssed off at me and has gone out again even though she was out all day and I feel terrible. I hope she is ok

[rae_and_scott 1]

Wow, rae, that is so great! He really found himself a good gig! And something that he likes, too, which makes it all even better!!

Re: commuting together. We only have one car right now so Griff drives me to work fairly often, though not as much since we moved out in to suburbia. I love when he does drive me to work, though. Its nice to have some alone time just chatting about whatever. Not a problem for you guys since you don't have kids, but its nice all the same!

Yeah, it really is awesome. Before he came here I think one of the biggest worries was what he was going to do for work. Understandably, he didn't want to end up at a place he wasn't going to enjoy. So this is really great.

I'm sure the no-kids commute is nice. I wouldn't have thought of it that way, not having any!

awwwww, I want to see pictures of the kitten!!! Daisy will get over it.

Hi guys!!

Gillian, it sounds much more positive between Scott and you!!!

STP: Glad you made it safely through the hurricane!!!

@ Jeremy: I AM SO JEALOUS!!!! i would LOVE to have a kitten.......

it took me forever to give them my fingerprints, I somehow couldn't relax my fingers an roll them accordingly..

about the guests......

well, they went through 2 rolls of toiletpaper a day, ate nothing but lettuce, drank 12 cups of coffee a day, were too weak to do sightseeing because they didn't eat. they spent 4h in the bathroom each day.

Saturday we went sightseeing with the girl i grew up with, and that was really nice. the other girl had to stay at home because she was too weak. they didn't really look at anything but shoppingmalls. ohwell, there isn't much out here anyway

[Jeraly 4]

I'll try and get some piccies tomorrow - Daisy has come back in and tried to attack the bathroom door after miaowing at it but she came and sat on the laptop for a bit with her tail flicking before sitting next to the back of the sofa and then wanting to go out again. We have to leave the kitten in the bathroom for a few days so he establishes his territory there and make sure that we spend time with him when Daisy isn't around so she doesn't get jealous. Then we have to gradually introduce each to the other's scent before leaving the door open and letting them explore each other. Apparently it is normal for there to be a little animosity at first I just feel a bit mean taking the kitty away from his little brothers and sisters and locking him away in a bathroom. He has a litter tray, food, water, toys and a cushion along with a damp towel as there is no air con in there.

Of course, once the pics are up we will welcome name suggestions Agnes - you can meet him if you come to the Halloween party but if you can't make that then maybe you can make it to the New Year's Eve one

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Haha why do they only eat lettuce? They come from a farm where they havent been introduced to other food?

Aly, I think you are very kind I think I´d introduce them the first day and see what happens

Yeah Babbles will always be Babbles

[Jeraly 4]

Marta - they kinda did - you can read the fiasco so far in the UK off topic thread - Daisy is still grumpy and the little guy is still not happy being in the bathroom but I don't want to let him run rampage all over the house yet. And he peed on the bathroom mat

I think I need to go take a shower and give him some company while Daisy is out, poor thing
