Morning all, hugs for those that need them.
How is Bo this morning vanilla?

Had a great night at the Tattoo last night, Norwegian Kings Guards were fantastic! Loved the finale, they had all 1000+ performers playing The Gael which is one of my favourite songs:D (Main theme from Last Of The Mohicans for anyone who doesnt know), really stirs the blood.

Right, just going to empty DW and do a bit of a tidy in the kitchen.

Morning everyone.

Not long been in from work. Had my breakfast and read the paper. A bit noisy at work about 3.30am when the police helicoptor was overhead. Luckily no one woke up.

Off to bed now and will fly later.

Hugs to everyone who needs one. Vanilla im thinking about Bo.

Catch you all later.

I'm not doing the kids' rooms - well, I may do the bedlinen! They are big enough to shovel them out themselves.

I think as it actually isn't raining, I shall go down to the allotment.

Today's unanswered questions:

1. In the 30 years I've known OH, he has never participated in any sport of any description. So why, when there is any big sporting occasion, does he spend every waking hour in front of the TV?

2.I have spent the past five days doing non-stop washing, so why is the laundry bag still overflowing?

3. What are we going to have for dinner?
Answers on a postcard please!:D

1. It's a man thing.:rolleyes:

2. Because we all have a washing goblin that comes out at night to delibratley make more!!:D

3.Sorry can't answer that one. I wonder that everyday;)

Vanilla Thinking about ((Bo))

Well I sorted all the Christmas decs out yesterday and it made me realise that we have had our last Christmas in this house and didn't know it at the time Really going to miss this place; it was always full of people at Christmas. Our new house is much smaller and 400 miles away so I think it will be a lot quieter for us; we will probably have to go visiting (but that does mean a lot less work for me ). Hubby says I am only allowed one tree this year :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:
