Lily2 Is coming out!!!!! UPDATE! AGAIN!

Sounds good. I'll need to think so that is probably the end of my contribution as thinking has and intelligence have never been my strong points.

I want creativity above intelligence!
Just ideas for a background!

Denise! Why are you being qiuet?????????

How about a lovely sunflower with GOY in the middle .... because .... altogether now

"Goy is the sunshine of my life" (with apologies to Stevie Wonder for changing the words !) haha

Good one Sue!

Is there another denise?

No, it was you, but I hadnt seen your pm (I answered it!)

How about a Rose......everyone knows that Roses grow on you...........

Good thinking, I was on the same lines! What would be the perfect rose tho!
Or should they be as individual as the GoYers themselves?
Everyone could name their preference if they wanted a badge/magnet/ keyring, or could even have their avatars if they wanted!

That's brilliant Sue!
Wow that was quick Marie! No sooner said than done. I was only joking about making the badges myself although I could get the grandchildren on to it. Give them something to do in the hols. buthink Jasmine may be a bit too young!!
You make it and I'll model it on GOY!!
Meanwhile, thinking cap on........

You could have your favourite Lily on yours!!

Sue that is brill i think:o)))

Lily, the magnet frames I have can be made up as either badges or magnets!

I would order a badge and a fridge magnet. A rose is nice how about a lancastrian rose very colourful and decorative.

I can see I'll need to get a move on with my website, but in the meantime, anyone who wants one, they'll be £2 each including p&p, but the bright spark who set this off will get hers as a gift (Lily2, I do mean you!)
Of course, reductions will be made for anyone daft enough to want loads of em!!

Well now I'm torn, a Lily is appropriate for me but sunflowers are so cheerful and so are GOYers so that's appropriate too. :o)))

Do you have a pic of a lancastrian rose Denise? I would hate to mix them up, & I'm a Scot, remember!

oooh thanks Marie x

We could do a pseudo "official" GoY one with a sunflower, & individual ones as well! Any "adjudicators" out there got an input please?

what about a flowerpot man design with GOY on his hat,

Yes how do i send a pic?

So what's your favourite lily Lily?

Just put it in your pics & I can save it from there! (I think)
If that doesnt work, I'll pm you & you could attach it to an email!

Oooh, I like that, San! A flowerpot man!

will do

Lily's favourite Lily is a water lily Marie. Don't really like the tall ones.

Lovely!

Sorry to go off at a tangent but can't resist : Re Flowerpot Men

Bill & Ben go into a pub. Bill goes to the bar and says 'Shlob a lob, shloba loba lob' Ben says 'Oh I'll get them he's p****d again' lol

Hi Madbeth it will not let me send it but if you google lancastrian rose they come up

so you noticed me then sue,, flowerpot men :o)

Ok Sue! I'll give it a go!
Like the joke!
Now I need to find a flowerpot man San!

Sorry San, so much happening, so fast on here tonight, can't keep up. Flowerpot men sounds great or even 'little weed'. So many good ideas already. That Marie doesn't hang about does she? lol. I need a lie down now. nite nite

lol i know she`s none stop thinking, hehe, good ideas though :o), sorry i was a bit rude there,:o( cant wait to see you showing your badge off lily

~I would love one with a protea as per page 23 of my photos and my avatar~send me your add in a pm and we can sort it out?

Have a look again first Lily! Got your waterlily!

I like Lily's idea of a water lily too

Ok Arlene, will do!

I'm thinking .........................................................
OKAY EVERYONE STAND BACK THIS MANS BRAIN CELL COULD BLOW AT ANY SECOND ...............
unacustomed as I am to thinking as it can be very dangerous for a man of my age and with only one brain cell, I have come up with ..... absolutely nothing all the suggestions are very good. I like San's suggestion of a flowerpot man.

thanks bob, great minds think alike lol

Ha ha Sue I like it, How about this one,
Bill and Ben in the bath and Bill says to Ben "Flobba flob dibble dob flobba dob" Ben says to Bill "If that stinks Bill I'm gonna hit you"

Hi San yes I did like that its a good suggestion.

hi bob you ok? good joke there hehe

Tee hee hee Bob !!

Yes San fine thanks, you OK? We had a 150 mile round trip to Telford today our Grandson has a girlfriend there and we went for Genealogy reasons.

Peace is a lovely Rose...........but whatever design I would like one......and a keyring just to be awkward please Madperth, and Its a brilliant Idea. It would be nice to have an official Goy magnet.....What about charging a bit more and donating to a charity?

im ok thanx, sounds interesting bob, long trip in a day

Me too please MP. One of each x

Peace rose sounds nice Milky!
The beauty of this is that I can just play around & use your ideas for individual ones if you like!
The pics are coming up too big, but I can give you a rough idea of what they'll look like!

mari just fit me in when you have time, looks like your going to be busy lol,:o) i will look for a pic

Sorry Milky! I obviously answered you while you were editing! Good idea! If I charged another 50p each, we could put that to a charity, no problem!

I'm involved with a local charity that provides outings & holidays for people who are marginalised (through disabilities/mental health or other reasons), and would love to donate to that, but I'm open to suggestions!

Hi San! I'm working on your flowerpot men as we speak!

i think thats a great idea milky,

Poor Sanbaz is feeling left out ......I will go with whatever the official design is or ends up....How about a pair of wellies......TT did a brilliant blog on wellies and there were some really nice ones in there....

Thats a brilliant charity to donate to....I am more than willing

im ok milky just not on the ball at the moment,:o(
thanx mari, will catch up tomoz im tired, nite all x

What about a gnome?........

Yes me too ....Dont stay up all night Madperth.......C U tomorrow x

TT would love the wellies!!
What've I started? So many ideas!!!!!

Ok, goodnight GoYs! I'm working tomorrow so wont be too late!! LOL!

I think that it has to be a lily flower in background, the logo "I Love ( but just a green heart shape)YOU GOY! with a clickable button alongside the phrase "remember me" , and the badge lights up?

Nite ~X~

Night Bob. Have lovely dreams about Bob's Big Choo Choo !

David! I'm not building lights into them! You've had too much chocolate!!
Night Bob!!

A teddy bear holding a Leek lol with going 4 written on it.

Dont QUITE get that one, Morgana!
Oh! I need to remember to get that plant off to you! Damn thing decided to flower again!

How about just using the "GOY tree" but with different single flowers "growing" beneath the tree to give us all a choice of which flower to choose?

I'll buy one, thank you. When they are ready I'll send my address and payment :o)

I can see I'll have to make a selection up, but I'd rather KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!)
than get too carried away, as the pics will be on a very small area!
So if everyone agrees, we'll charge £2.50 inc p&p, with 50p of each sale going to The VISOR Group, the charity I'm associated with (& secretary of).

Agreed Marie. Great cause

Thanks Sue!
When I get time I'll do a wee blog telling people what the VISOR Group's all about, but gotta go to work now!

Well Marie, you are such a fast worker, all this from my litle comment!!! There's no going back now, you've well and truly slammed the closet door behind me......and thrown away the key!! Who cares, GoY is great and we should tell the world! The Lily pics are great, now I have to choose which one and on what......oooh I'm so indecisive....will send you a PM

Like the idea of a lancastrian rose Marie.

How about a pic of a pile of manure with several spades forks stuckin it, with the caption GOYS all muck in together?

thats a good one Indypendant!

And don't we just ??? haha

Thats pretty good (& very restrained for you!) Indy!!

I'VE HAD A THOUGHT!!
Dont all fall over at once, it'll cause a tsunami!
What about the extra funds being raised towards Conker's vet bills?????

wonderfull idea mari :o)

Good! Although I'd like my chosen charity to benefit, I really think a cause close to GoYers' hearts is a better one in this instance & I'll think of something else to raise funds for VG!

i agree mari, as the badges/fridge magnets are GOY related, see how many you get to do, could always split it for both causes, im happy to go along with either option :o))

I'm happy just to cover my costs, & will work out exactly what the materials & postage come to, then I'll see if anything's left after Conker gets his share! Then I'll donate any profit to VISOR Group

ok mari thats cool, just let me know when mine is ready, just badge as i dont have a normal fridge for magnet, its intergrated lol

Sounds like a great idea Marie.

I've just ordered a load of magnets, as I thought I had bought a box of magnets & a box of keyrings, but I'd actually bought keyrings & pens that you can put inserts in!!
At the moment I have 9 magnet/badges, but the rest will be here in a few days! Loads of keyrings, & 20 pens!
I'll keep the prices the same, to save muddling!!
Have pm'd you Lily!
San, still working on flowerpot man, I love the idea!!!
Ok, now to pm Terra!
Will she shoot me?

i will have a keyring and badge them please mari :o))

Ok sweetie! I'll add you to the list! And I'm going to hunt out the stuff for the flowerpot man!
I've pm'd Terra!

great mari thanx,

I'm pleased to say that Terratoonie was happy with the idea, (with suggestions that I give it all to VG)which I'm NOT doing, half WILL go to Conker!!!
so IF I get permission from Peter & Ajay to go ahead with this, I'll update the blog!

sent you pm mari, im confused lol

Where's Ian Marie? Is he ignoring us?

Whats confusing you, San?
I dunno, Lily! I havent seen any sign of him!!

read my pm, mari,

I'm here.......... Bl***y H**l can't even take a bath in peace............... Lol. I hope Peter and Ajay don't complain about their copyrights..............?

I wan't mine to have potatoes on! ! ! Pllllllleeeeeaaaaaassssssssssssseeee.

I've contacted Peter & Ajay to ask them!
I'm waiting for an answer!
Potatoes? why not!

Sandra, I've read & answered! She's ok with it!!

PM - MP Lol

I'll have a key ring and a magnet please.

Got your pm Digger, & read the blog! Aaaargh! Pm on way in a mo to you!

Its a B****er ain't it? PM back

It is that! I wish I'd known!
But I need to wait for an answer from Peter or Ajay!

OK then talk soon, Nity nite.

Goodnight, may angels sing thee to thy rest!

nite mari sleep well,

Nariz idea of the GOY tree is a good one?

I think so, but will need permission from Peter & Ajay!

I'll take a fridge magnet if the proceeds or part of are going to Conker, make that 2, can you do me one without the magnet so I can stick it up in my campervan (I'll be living in it when at uni through the week!

Yep! I'm waiting to hear from P&A but I could do you one with a sticky back instead of a magnet!

Bang on M. just whats needed!

Okey doke!

Ha Ha Madperth.......you had better bulk buy the stuff.....he he he ......Im getting really excited.....Did you want our addresses now or wait til your ready and got them all done?

Can i have a magnet please? will wait to here whats happening before i PM my address. Great idea for conkers bills

I'm waiting to make sure its ok with Peter & Ajay, but I'll happily take names & addresses by pm, then I can get going as soon as I know its ok!
I've just ordered in magnets & badges! I'm goiung to make myself a pen too, then I can show you them! Mine will just be my avatar to give you an example!!

I'm going to make myself a list from this lot to check who wants what, soI have some idea of what I've done!!
8~}}

Good luck Marie and thanks, we're keping you very busy!
How do you manage to do all that organizing and keep up with GoY too?

Dont ask me!!! I'm winging it!!! LOL!
I'll be missing for a good while tomorrow working on the designs that peeps have come up with!!

Bet you won't be able to resist a GoY 'fix' lol

PM, MP

Of course not Lily!! I got home from work yesterday & the pc was on before the kettle was!!
Digger, have answered but would like advice please?

I've sent it. Hope it helps

I do that first thing in the morning Marie...sad cases aren't we! (or just enthusiastic?)

Both?????????
Thanks Digger, will look now!

Sorry Digger! I went to the pm & forgot to let you know I'd answered it!!

PLEASE SEE TOP OF BLOG!!

Oh no Marie, what a disappointment all round, but especially for you as you have already put in so much effort. I was so much looking forward to my official 'coming out' badge!!!!
Don't know what else to say really.........
except :o((((((((((((((((

The joys of commercialism ! But you can understand what they mean. Oh well...never mind. Hope you're not out of pocket with the things that you've bought already Marie ?

Sorry about that and after all your work. Not sure I understand this site now, I thought it was just gardeners talking to each other? but the possibility of it being marketed means that the essence will be lost?

I agree Drc, but talking about it here could cause even more trouble/upset. Just about to PM you Hatter.
I LIKE PRIVATE MESSAGES. :~)))))

I'm really disppointed, mainly because we've lost the opportunity to support one of our friends!
Yes, Sue b, I am out of pocket cos I ordered & paid for a new load of supplies yesterday!
But I'll think of something! I'll probably use them to make & sell VISOR Group ones in Perth , and I'll get my website up & running, & we could maybe find a way to help TT through that!
I now need to pm TT & let HER know!!

Read my PM first Hatter

Its such a let down but this is the way of life I suppose.
PRIVATE MESSAGING RULES.........

Hmmmmm! Sods Law! I didnt get your pm in time, cos I did it straight away, but that can be sorted!!

Going for a walk, talk later!

Marie ask people to contact you privately if they are still keen to have them without the GOY logo~I collect fridge magnets and would still like to go ahead as a private transaction.
You may well find you are not out of pocket!
love
Arlenex

I'm not allowed to sell them on GoY, but I have a solution in hand! More to follow!

I just had a look at my horoscope online, & here's what it says for today!!!!
Monday, Aug 31st, 2009 -- You don't have to be overly vocal today to be heard amongst your peers, for your input is valued greatly. Still, memories of a recent rejection can provoke you to either be more forceful than necessary or to give up and keep your ideas to yourself, without even trying to participate.
.
Dont think I'll be giving up trying to find a way to help TT & Conker YET GoYs!!

ATTENTION PLEASE!!!!
I've set up a website to solve the problem!
the link is

http://madperth-designs.webs.com

Dont expect much, I've only got a home page & a blog so far!!!

Direct link to the blog is

http://madperth-designs.webs.com/apps/blog/

Re the website.......
It wont be on google or any search engine cos it was only put together today! It takes ages for them to register it!
I did a copy & paste into the address bar at the very top of the page, & that worked!
Mx

Marie, I am so sure that the guys at GOY would have helped if they could. You are remarkable in that you have so swiftly organised another route.

So many fave garden plants, quotes, etc., to choose from, but, I'd really quite like something along the lines of a pic of beautiful Conker, or an actual chestnut?, with a slogan above and below, something along the lines of......."Conker - a hard nut to crack", "Conker - Your'e a Knock-out!", The Big C - Together, we'll crack it!"

Don't really know, tired, and thinking with my fingers right now. :-)

...............I

...(pic of conker)
...(in a heart shape)

......CONKER

Good ideas there!
Had a pm from TT, & Conker's had a good day!
I know they would've helped & tho I was upset this morning I'm quite excited now- Its made me get on with things!!
It really was a worry that I was breaking rules without ever meaning to!
I'm bushed too, I've been at this pc all day!!
Talk tomorrow!
Mx

Nice one Indy! You posted that as I was typing! Have the emails stopped? I'm still trying to find my way around it!!

Not looked yet M. I just hate loads of notifications to delete to find i've deleted sommat important as well know what I men! will go see now!

I DID send you ONE deliberately, a friend request! But I stopped mine when I went into edit profile & found a button that said notify me or summat, & I scrolled down the hoojy & clicked on never!

They've stopped Marie

Oooopppppsss !!! Oh no they haven't !!

Thats good sue! As long as the ones I DO mean to send go out ok!

Still getting them M. will put up withit for a bit but it needs sortin
Is your site reeeeeaaaallly slow loading comments and stuff or is it my puter! seems quick enough here on GOY though?

I clicked the never first time round its ignored me ! grrrr
will do it again, but i did check it the other day and it was still on the never setting!

Sorry! I'll see if their support link will help me sort it out! I'm jumping back & forth between the sites like a blue bottomed flea!

I cant get to my edit profile the site times out on me and I go to windows cannot connect etc same with posting comments grrrrr!!!!

Sorry Indy! I'll try to get one of my mates to take a look at it for me, but I dunno what's up!!!!!!!!!

I had to faff about, but I got in! I'm not sure what's wrong, I'll need to get someone to checkit!

No probs M. everything has its teething troubles when you start something new, YOU don't need to say sorry, I know you're trying to sort it out I might just make them "junk" and let them go into that folder, if it gets too bad. though I'm not sure if that would be bad for your site in some way so I'll hold off for a while anyway.
Good morning M. are you well today!

Morning Indy!
I'm good ta! The sun's shining & it looks like we MIGHT get a good day! And I only have to work 3 hours today!
Might get going on my path after tidying the hovel a bit!
.
Re the site issues! You CAN put them as spam if you wish! There's an unsubscribe me link on the emails, but I tried it & got nowhere!
I'm still trying to get help from "support" bt keep going round in circles!
I'll get it sorted, but feel free to spam it!

There's time yet before I need to do anything drastic, are they site issues? are others having the same probs as me/us I keep wondering if its my puter, but its fairly good everywhere else i go!
Have a nice day at work and hope it stays fine for the path thingy, lots of love ,Indy

No, its not just you! I think its a problem with the site provider!
Thanks! My shift will be good, I just need earplugs!!
You have a good day too!
Namaste

cant get on your site mari, will try again later :o(

Go to my homepage here & click on the link, San!

kk

Sorry, only just seen this. What a great idea!
I haven't got my glasses on so couldn't read it properly...Did it say Lily's been smoking pot in the shed????(he he) I'll tell the 'Dragon Lady' at Alnwick about her!!!!

It's all technical stuff, this, isn't it. I kkep getting emails telling me to buy tins of chopped pork, but I think they're just SPAM!!!!!

Ssshhhh Paul, I can only come out about one of my nasty secret little 'addictions' at a time and pleeeeeese don't report me to the Dragon Lady of Alnwick!!! :o((((

Ooh, Lily, you've changed! Nice to see you!

Well Marie, I was told that my previous avatar didn't look a bit like me! I decided that if I was really going to come out then I should go all the way and show my face instead of hiding behind Daisy!! I deliberately chose a slightly fuzzy photo lol

LOL! Well its a very nice photo! Was the photographer smoking pot in the shed too?
My avatar doesnt look like me either!

Wow, well done you, I didn't recognise you without the fur. Lol :~)))

THERE YOU ARE!! Did you escape???????

Meeooow......purr..... I did it just for you Ian being as you don't like cats. lol (or maybe you'd prefer me to change it back again!)

Never Lily you look Purrfect. :~))
Hatter I get to use the pc while they sleep, I've wrote another poem! ! !

:o)))

:~)) Here or on Madperth?

Oh, tou're not a cat afterall Lily!! Mind you, on that basis I suppose I would be a bit of a vegetable!

Well you said it Paul, not us!!!! LOL!
;~)))

Nice with some SPAM!!

??????????

U obviously missed my earlier wise crack on this thread yesterday MadP

No, I saw it, but I missed the connection somewhere!! (NOT unlike me!!)

Didn't you know witches can turn themselves into cats Paul, so watch out!

:~)))))))) Lily!

And - what sits on a lily? A frog, of course!

New idea for a pic for your stuff, M - frog on lily with "Kiss me - QUICK!", either with frog wearing hat, or as a lo-gogh!

David, did you pay attention to what Lily just said to Paul?????
Living dangerously, boy!!

But I like it!! LMAO!

Right then David, where's my cauldron and wand....izzy wizzy let's get bizzy.....

You get him told!

Whos the gladiolus expert ?

????????? Dunno!

Try sue birmingham she mentioned she loves her gladies, she ma know sommat, but i'm only guessing from a comment she made!

Please pm me with your choices guys or go to my web & take it from there if you wish! Ta! Mxx
