There lies madness.

where?


I'm sure Patti will be pleased to hear that my purple bathroom is probably staying. The builder couldn't decide whether it is impossible or just too expensive to move a bit of wall. The wall needs to go so that I could have a normal sized bath instead of one that is only big enough to sit in. So no wall moved = no bathroom as there is no point in spending money for something I don't want.

Oh Janet! I'm sorry!

I'm also sorry about missing Skype last night. I actually fell asleep on the couch!

I NEVER do that!

Yes I felt a bit depressed last night, but woke up this morning thinking I can do one of two things

1. Leave the horrible disgusting bathroom as it is, & when I am ready to sell and move on tart it up then. ~~Disadvantages - I really hate the bathroom as it is, & I would have to spend money on it to tart it up then , plus the shower really needs replacing at the very least so why don't I...

2. Spend the money now, get the benefit of a bathroom that is pleasanter to use rather than one that I really don't like I know it isn't what I really want - but the bathroom without the wall was a compromise of what I really would like but couldn't because of space. Plus not paying the builder leaves more money to do other things.

Poor Janet, not fun to have your dreams dashed! Worth a second opinion though, before you ditch your plans - a different builder, or an architect? (Trained to look for options!)

Yes. Option 2 definitely. Forget getting a bath and get a really ritzy huge shower instead. You can spend more on the shower if you don't need to pay the builder.

And you should have the benefit of not having to sit on a purple throne!

But I do love to soak in my bath reading (DTBs not ever my precious kindle) (even though the bath is too short to really stretch out)

Oh. Well, get used to loving really ritzy showers. ;)

I wish I found this link earlier. When is the next Skype discussion going to be?

Every Thursday!

Which reminds me, since I am back for the semester, I can't do Thursdays. As much as I love our Skype talks, debate has a special place in my heart.

We are on UK time? I'll have to compensate for the difference from NYC time zone. Is there a specific hour everyone starts?

Good luck with classes!

We start at 7pm, UK local time. You are welcome.

Elle, they must change their debating evening! BTW, have you seen the movie The Great Debaters?

One of our regulars has wondered whether a Saturday would be more suited to those of an international persuasion. Any thoughts?

Yes!!!

I miss Skype.

Sunday afternoon UK time would work for me too.

I could Skype while Dave watches the stupid football.

Sunday afternoon would be amazing <3

I haven't seen the movie Geoff. Must look it up!

Sunday afternoon could be a problem for me as I am often not home until 4 or five.

That's 8 or 9pm for me. Still better than 11pm

I could do early Sunday evening as well. Sundays are pretty slow days for me, mostly sorting things in the house and getting around to catching up with things I ignored throughout the week!

I went to the beginning of this thread and believe I have found the Skype info I need to join.

Superbowel or Super bowl Sunday when everyone drinks beer and looks at the "game" on the tube and yells in camaraderie.
Maybe there will be a wardrobe malfunction this year.

I should be able to fit in with the Sunday thing at the moment. The only problem is if I should have to work away from home as I travel on a Sunday evening.

Lets hope you don't.

So, are we to set something up for Sundays and see how it goes?

5pm UK time on Sunday. I'll be on Skype then.

I'll be there if i'm there.

Sundays are great for me too, all except this Sunday as I will be in London at a concert! Will be around next week though I think x

Are we going to switch completely to sunday or run both thursday and sunday?

Up to you lot.

I can't see myself being available on Thursdays very often.

I'm just starting to become available on Thursdays... Not a hope for Sundays though.

No harm in doing two nights. Or more, even.

It's great fun!

I might not be there, I'll probably be crying into a pillow at the loss of my cousin and her wee baby.

(By loss I mean they will be going home)

Oh decisions decisions.....

Tim or Patti???

Or both... ;)

I am definitely available on thursdats, and may or may not on sundays. I think we could do both.

Of course, I'll do as many Thursdays as I'm able.

I'm planning on skyping tonight.

You joining us tonight Tim?

No, I'm out tonight unfortunately, but I'm in for several Thursdays after that.

I'm out tonight, again. Only managed to join in once - expect you're all thinking I was scared off!

Oh that's a shame Tim. That you won't be around tonight, I mean. Dunno when I'll be able to do another Thursday.

Wouldn't blame you if you were scared off Rosemary. ;)

Do try n join us again sometime!

I'm lonely. :(

Nobody loves me and I'm going down the garden to eat worms. :(

Poor Patti.

It's cold here so the worms are hibernating.

Sorry I didn't answer but am just heading off to Jazzercise so won't be around for Skype tonight. Have fun all xx

I don't know anyone here. I hope to meet you all. Three pm eastern time must be about 8:30 UK

May I join in?
Anyone need my username?

I was knitting so I missed Skype

Last nights debate was simply fascinating but not as hilarious as our Skype chats.

Sunday is good for me but someone will have to remind me as I plan to spend most this weekend catching up with my TV shows and watching some movies. I have an entire free house. Hallelujah.

I'll iMessage you Peanut.

Now that's a pathetic excuse. ;)

Oops!

Pm Geoff with your username and he'll sort you out for the next one. :)

I read that as Jizzercise. I need to get my brain sorted out, obviously.

You're a sick, sick man Geoff.

I love that about you. :)
