    Mabboo.. most places here charge for tap water as they claim it is the charge for washing the glass!!

    Same here Pigpen...maybe I should take some fairy and offer to wash the glass up!!

    I've done all the charity shops and there's nothing that fits! I must be an odd shape...I don't have going out clothes in my wardrobe as I don't go out. How sad is that? The last do I went to was someone's 40th at their house but it was in March so the top I wore was a posh but warm (charity shop). Don't think i'd get away with it at a wine bar. Definitely going to give it a miss xx

    Evening all .

    I am so glad lots of you have done very little flying this week - apart from dailies - didn't even do those today - I have failed completely at flying.

    Thinking of having the rest of the week off and starting a fresh next week.

    Car MoT tomorrow so will be keeping everything crossed.

    Off to watch big brother now so see you all tomorrow

    a bit off post but I also say chinoodle for chinese and klibklub for kidsclub - sad I know but remember I am also Gabriella from High School Musical!!!!!!!!!!But the 10 year olds have started looking at me a little funny when I say that now - agghh the innocence has gone.

    I also dressed up as Madame Cholait "the American Peripatetic Music Teacher" on a special visit to y'all and the kids really didn't know it was me - mustbe the really good accent or maybe me right big tambourine!! age 3-5years they are lovely then they go to school so iced bum it will always be.

    Another day where no flying was done, as while we where having dinner this evening DS informed me he need a spanish costume for school tomorrow:eek: So trudge to MR A's to see what we could find that with a bit of tweeking would be passable. Why do kids leave it as late as possible to tell you this stuff. Though this is an improvement as normally he lets me know in on the morning he needs it :rolleyes:.
