Gulp
Up early, heart pounding. I will say no more.
Here's to a fine day, looking set for a sunny one here on the estate (and we appear to be fox-free at the moment, so praise be). Really enjoyed yesterday's show and Eddie M was on fine form I thought; thoughtful, open and profound. He was wearing some natty yellow trousers too which takes a certain panache and je ne sais quoi (which looks really stupid written down). There is, in my opinion, no such thing as a bad Eddie Marsan film.
As I wrote that paragraph, the ping from the inbox signified the arrival of child 2's A level results. What a terrifying sound. Normally so innocuous, you would normally pay it no heed but today? Oh boy. I remember my dad chucking an envelope at me in my tent as we camped somewhere (Cornwall probably) and the heart pounding in EXACTLY the same way. In those far off days, my 2 B's and a C was considered pretty good and fine enough anyway for Warwick. It would be unwise to blog about child 2's results as 1) she hasn't said I could and 2) Grandmas don't know yet. Etiquette matters.
We move on.
Nige is back with a tasty chocolate tart for you (well me really) and oldies please on the subject of CHEATING. The world of Scrabble has been shocked to its core by the revelations of cheating in the US National Scrabble Championships. One of its young players was caught with 2 blank tiles under his shoe and has been expelled. Songs for the cheats please!
Have a sunny and coherent Thursday, see you after 5

I am pleased that your estate is fox free at the moment, Simon. Long may it continue.
Why does the fear of exam results still haunt us many years later? I still have a dream where I am sitting an exam that I haven't revised for. Not sure what that is all about! I am sure that she has done well, and you have an excuse for a cheeky creme de menthe (or at least a sherbet lemon)!
Off to have a think about suitable oldie tunes.

I dod not do A Levels I passed the BTEC National Diploma in Business and Finance with Distinction which was due to the fact for the Economics type module I received an A for a joint project we had to do to go through the motions to set up a business, my friend and I chose a baby goods store and she was responsible for the marketing and I was responsible for the Finance side of the set up. We were given individual marks for our final mark much to my friends disgust when she was expecting an A as I had achieved but got a C!!! I did do an A Level in one year at night school in 2001 in Law and achieved a Grade B.

#41 Mandy - A retweet is when you either copy and paste what another tweeter has said, with the letters RT in front to indicate a manual retweet, or you use the retweet button to pass that tweet on to your followers, as it will appear on your timeline.
A reply, is when you press the reply button and the person you wish to reply to will come up in the box, i.e @their name, you then add your reply, and send.

Hope it all goes according to plan (or better than?) and the blank chequebook that is now a University education is once more opened up in the Mayo household.
Careful family planning waaay back ideally means that only one Uni funding should be required in any academic year. Poor planning means a year, or even more in our case (but not our fault, my step-son had a change of course after year #1 and had to start back at year #1 on his new course which was then a 4 YEAR course = 5 years of funding!!) of crossover funding.
Mr e said he would buy me a new car when the kids finally left Uni, at this rate the joke is that it'll be one of those mobility scooters, we will be sooo OLD!
I tweeted some choons, including the popular LYING EYES and the Police's 'SOMEBODY'S WATCHING ME'
Not at work tomorrow and a girlie lunch planned, so good luck tonight with the menshes and tomorrow with the ARFO!
ps Happy Birthday to Alison of Eastleigh
A friend also has a b'day today - makes one ask what was going on 9 months ago...
We had chocolate and beetroot cake, a Tanya Ramsay receipie - and I'm counting it as one of my five a day, so there.
Yesterday's BBC 2 b'fast show motto was 'you know you're getting older when...' (or was it Tues, can't rememer!) - my end line today is '....when your drinks after work night out is cancelled and you are relieved!'
We still have to watch the 3rd part of the closing ceremony!
Laters,

Bingo Star 'ere...
Firstly a just wanted ter say a see George Micheals is getting 'is karma for crossing Bingo Star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A was waiting in the freeeeezing cold outside R2 a few years ago (a was in the area and 'eard 'e was.... A didn't go especially!!!).... Waiting ter get me album signed by George Micheals with about ten other people!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When 'e came out we all asked could yer sign this please.....
'e turned to us all and with a smile said "yer all e-bay merchants!!!!!!!"
And carried on nby inter 'is limo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since that day about 3 years ago ave NEVER played 'is album since!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatta way ter speak to 'is fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway 'ave just 'eard in the news this week many are critising 'im for using the Olympic closing gig ter open the way for 'is new single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'ypocritc or what blog pals???????????????????????????????
Something 'ave found so, so, so, so, so, so, many times in life something that me mother told that 'ave found out ter the single one best bit of advice that she ever told.... That am sure most reading this if yer think carefully if somebody 'as 'ad a go at yer recently yer will find out 'ow true what me mother told me is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is it that me mother told me??????????????
A will tell yer>>>> :
When somebody accuses yer of something..... Nearly ALWAYS yer will find out they do this themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As is true with George Micheals.... Accuses me of stooooping low enough ter try and get an album signed just ter flog it on e-bay.... When it looks like 'e stoooped low enough ter use the Olympic gig ter flog 'is single!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Secondly..... A goot carried away with the above.... A forgotten what secondly was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember blog friends if somebody 'a accused yer of something that yer not..... Nearly always they are telling you something about themselves that they don't even realise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It psychological ter off load their guilt onto yersen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They do it without even realising!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad te r'elp!

Mr madchick bought a 'handmade' racing bike recently. The last one was stolen from our shed. I nearly fainted when he told me how much he had paid for it. (It would buy a few bags of beetroot, I'm sure!). It is currently standing in the utility room until the new garage has been built. Another ornament to dust...
