IF I WANT TO SEE MY FAVOURITE COAT AGAIN....

Chris Evans | 15:06 UK time, Monday, 19 November 2007

Oh, it all seems so far away now and I wasn't even going to mention it but....

... I left my coat at CHILDREN IN NEED and now their holding it to randsome until I pass on this message...

THEY LOVE YOU, I MEAN LOVE YOU. radio 2's audience are the people that drive the whole event. £19 MILLION pounds and big smile and high five fury paw from the PUDSMEISTER.

Seriously they were blown away.


So here's my life for a Monday.

Have decided that the new M & S ad., is by far the best on the telly.

Have been offered a job as a consultant on a movie !

Have formed a new company but it's all hush hush at the mo', though of course you'll be the first to know when I can say anything.

Since the health kick kicked in, my weight has gone up, muscle weighing heavier than fat of course. Ha ha !

The wife amazed me once again this weekend but I can't tell you how. Mange tout, three and four !

Ready to rock and roll fo a whole new week again, might as well pack in as much as we can before we all get rained to death.

    Hi Chris,

    I agree - the entire effort from Radio 2 for CIN was completely awesome. Well done everyone.

    Isn't it great that Natasha has been upgraded to Mange Four! I love it when we share!

    I tried to send a message earlier today, but got the old "Error Page" thingy. Hopefully this will go through.

    Bingo Star: your zodiac reading for Sagittarius was brilliant! We "Sag Dudes" are pretty nice people! The reading is very "me" - except: I could never be a vet, foreign languages elude me, and I hate the great outdoors. However, I am very much up for socialising and travel! Thank you Bingo, for all your hard work with the zodiac readings.

    Hazel: hope you are feeling better.

    Gingembre: hope the wedding went well.

    Denise: you are a star!

    Dear All,

    Is only a Game, people, only a game.

    I know, if they had won, etc etc etc, but in all honesty, I don't think Alex was really expecting them to- which is what makes his management technique a breath of fresh air..... " we go out there in the knowledge that we will probably loose" - which is what I heard him say. The boys enjoy themselves, and a good time is had by all.

    My husband surprised me over the weekend too. Never fails to amaze me!

    Happy Monday everyone, hope all is well with you.

    Enough is enough. I think the time has come to start a campaign to bring Neopolitan chocolates back? It's simply not Christmas without a box of those lovely choccies. (The last few years have been hell!) The supermarket shelves are stacked with alternatives, but I'd like to see the Neopolitan chocolates making a return.

    They brought back the Wispa bar, so I think we should give it a try.

    Just a thought!

    Hiya

    I have the radio back into the car as TLOML finally got round to putting my stereo into my new (to me, not really new) car! For the last six weeks I have had the standard stero which was not plugged into the radio and meant I have not been able to listen for ages, I have been feeling really left out!

    So now new car but my great stero which has radio (turned to radio 2) and MP3 port for my mepod! I can fiannly put all the CD's back into the house.

    so welcome back into my life and come join us on facebook!

    Our new company has kicked off in fine style. I assume that yours has something to do with classic prancing horses? I haven't dared drive one of ours yet, but I am gradually plucking up the courage!

    It is all go for the Snowdon trip.

    We're heading up on the Friday night, walking on the Saturday, staying at the pub that night before heading back on the Sunday.

    And the Monday is booked off work.

    All weather permitting, of course.

    Didn't you mention this as one of your 'must do's' earlier this year?

    If you are thinking of doing it at this time of year you'll definitely need to find that coat of yours.

    Peace & love

    Denise - Whitby on a motorbike sounds like fun.

    Tinsel - we got horrid wet snow too. Not fun when you're shivering outside a pub under 'heaters' that don't heat.

    Michaela - where's your pub? Sounds like heaven!

    Chris - do you need a PA at all? I'm very reliable ;)

    Morning Christoff!!

    I have a note for yesterday’s absence … but the kitten ate it!

    I LOVE the new M&S add!!! Don’t really know anyone but Antonio and Twiggy, but it’s class! My sis, who works for said company, hates it! Go figure!

    I hope you are taking the job offer for the movie! More feathers in your cap and all that, but, more than that, what an experience!!

    Congrats on the new company! May it be successful and enjoyable for all concerned!

    ChrissieS - I got that Error Page every time I posted yesterday, but they seem to have got through! If you’re up for travel, we could organise a meet of Bloggers in the chilly North of Scotland!

    Denise Nesbit - Well done!!! Don’t suppose you hire yourself out?! Our weekend was ok thanks - weather was cold and wet, but we got some family visits in. Not much on this week apart from the usual clubs with our 2 year old! She has a better social life than I do! Managed a lovely walk in Culloden forest yesterday with our friend and her kids and decided we really should be walking more!! Would be nice to be lean and fit again!!

    DWNB - Loving your shots on Flickr honey! Did you watch? We could only listen on the radio as we don’t have the sports package - and that was nerve wracking enough!!! The papers did my head in yesterday! Talk about making a meal of it! Ummm … why did hubby surprise you at the weekend … or should we not ask!?

    Chris - I didn’t know they didn’t do Neopolitan chocs anymore!

    Bingo Star - yarr yarr yarr yeah!

    Gingerbread - I was wondering whether to delete my group? How do you join them together?? Ah - and I just asked you on Facebook what your blogger name was! Did you get married?! I’m so out of the loop these days!

    Elm - what’s the new (not so new) car? And I think (?) I found you on Facebook?

    Dan the Man - I was just saying the other day to the other half that we really do need to get our finger out and visit Belfast! And …. BERMUDA?!?! You’re going to Bermuda!? Need a PA?!?

    The Debster - I have really missed the blog and bloggers too! Like you I’m determined to keep it going! I’d love to get my motorbike licence! My pal says she’ll give me a shot of her bike to try … can one go through a midlife crises at 38?! Best of luck with the lessons! I very nearly grew tatties this year, but only managed pakchoi in our plant pots! And carrots and garlic!

    Missy - I know what you mean! Where does the time go!?

    Michaela - welcome!! This is the best bunch of bloggers you could ever wish to meet! I hope Christoff is proud of the community he has built up here! And you just know we are going to find your pub and try and organise a blogger convention there!

    Prof Plum - what’s your Facebook alter ego?

    Pauline - I was trying to persuade Christoff he needed my photographic skills!! Shall we do a two pronged attack!?

    MfR - glad the company is going well! I can’t believe you are doing Snowdon! How do you guys do it!? I stand in awe!

    Red - a celt?! Yay!!! We have only had one fall of snow here! Looks like England got more!!

    Vaughn Jess - You are dreaming about air conditioning, we are dreaming of roaring fires!! Well done on reaching the last exam!

    RosieRoo - Happy Tuesday back! What does it hold for you today?

    Huggles all round!

    Ello..... ello CLP & ALL Blog Operatatives,

    Bingo Star ere, coming ter yer from 'is car on top of a 'igh 'ill in New Brighton!!!

    Firstly am 'aving BIG trouble blogging lately - the situation is ALL stress!!!!!!!

    Yesterdee I tryed ter blog (see comments #6 & 7) while 'aving in indepth discussion with Tim Nice But Dim but I couldn't get away from 'im!

    On top of this, me first computer 'as gone for repair (screen cracked), me second is in inop in the loft so i've 'ad ter resort ter me third.
    Only problem the mains power lead end bit 'as broken. I tryed ter fix it with me plyers but 'ave accidently cut the wire in 'alf.
    So i've resorted ter blogging via me in car lead from me ciggarette lighter socket.
    Only problem it might drain me car battery of all it's juice, thus rendering me stranded & unable ter start me car.
    So 'ive parked at the top of a 'igh 'ill so if me battery drains I can let off me 'andbrake & roll with it ter jump start me car!

    Only problem first time on the 'ill I plugged in me lead & blew me fuse ter me socket.
    So 'ive just been ter but some new fuses...... so am ere at the top of the 'igh 'ill tryin' ter blog again!!!!!

    Ere goes...........

    Penguin - #33 previous blog - All I casn offer is my serverest sincerest 'pologies for not mentioning Brad Pitt.
    That's apolgies without an 'aye' but means more meaning than one with a 'aye', bit like the brilliant tune by Timerland at present - WOT a brilliant opening keyboard riff - so poweful - love it - #3 in the charts... oh yessssss!!!!

    "it's too late terrrr 'pologizzzzzzze, it's tooooo late ter 'pologggggg.......izze!!!!!!!!!!!" just can't get enough of that tune!!!

    PS Penguin - 'ope it's not too late for me ter 'polgise too you though, for the Pitt incident, sozz in all areas!!!

    Chrissie S (aka Sag Dude) - Glad ter be of 'elp ter a fellow member of the zodiac.
    PS All above applies ter yersen too for me recommending that you become a vet, sozz too!

    Clodagh - Did you 'ear you got another Drivetime Mega Shoe Mention by CLP again.
    It was about the wobbly bits.
    I agree with you that it's better ter play with a wobbly balloon than one of lead.... unless yer scared of 'eights or yer name is Jack Dee!!!!

    Chow!

    PS i'll bang me next astro on the later blog.
    As i'm covering all the signs there's gonna be an astro Bingo reading for every single blog operatative & every single bbc employee..... and the not single ones tooo!!!!!!! aka Married!

    Hello lovelies!!!

    Apologies for enforced absence. Work PC puts up dire warning messages when I blog from there (will get one today and be frightened half to death by it, I'm sure) and have also had three weeks off work poorly :-(

    On a bright note, I came back to work yesterday feeling MUCH more like my old (but very, very young at heart) self :-)))))

    So great to read blogs from the usual crowd, but also great to read blogs written by newbies!!! Keep blogging!

    Oh dear, just went to pick up my sandwich, but I've already eaten it! Doncha hate it when that happens???!!!

    I loved the snow on Sunday, we had about three inches - fab! The only downside was that I had to leave Special Friend early Sunday night, as I was worried about the drive home.

    Have had a good morning and managed to tick off a lot of those stupid, fiddly little things, that always get moved to the bottom of the list, which is great!

    Now need to get on and tick off some more, have a great afternoon all,

    I really don't know where to start, especially as the Pound Shop has closed down in town. Christmas cards seem really cheap this year though. Wonder if people are sending less and using email greetings instead?

    BINGO. Your Astro readings damn amazing man. Do you beleive in past life readings too.

    Gingembre. Very nice Wedding photo's.

    Cathmel. Did you choose a new name?

    OK, so I've just seen this after getting on your case about not using your talents enough. I just dined finely on my words. A consultant on a movie will be a great kickstart to further things. Hope it will be in a creative way as well as business savvy? I always wonder what Producers on movies do, I think I am right in saying that Executive Producers are just 'the money', so hopefully your creative flair will be capitalised on.

    I laughed at hearing about your weekend. Unless I am seriously mistaken (and depraved) I think I had some of what you had today. And gee whiz does it bring a smile onto one's visage :-0 Especially when it is unexpected! mon dieu, mon dieu (but minus the three and four)

    Is it true that you have recently purchased the Newbridge on Usk?

    I was part owner of the original company that bought it and renovated it in 1998.

    It holds some good memories and some not so good.

    If it is true good luck, it is a lovely part of the world. But watch out for the natives, they can be a bit weird.
