    Sounds like fun, are you off work today + friday?

    Ouch about your foot! Glad NIM wasn't too upset, but still if OH did that, I'd be freaked out if he didn't moan at me! While youre at the doctors you should see if you could get something for your foot if it starts hurting too much.
    Well done on the new MS aswell!

    Richs birthday celebrations start after work, so 12:30! I've made him a tiny present to give him before dinner - got the number 1 single the week he was born and put it on cd, a yorkie bar and can of coke he was pestering me for all of last weekend and his modified birthday card. Giving him his vans when we get home, then giving him the laptop before skins is on, let him sweat alittle! Then another full day of them tomorrow, and saturday! Birthdays are a big thing in my family, if you couldn't tell.

    Gosh, I wish you were my girlfriend Cinny, you sound like you spoil the pants off your OH!

    Bad news about the laptop, good of NIM to not get mad. I suppose he's learnt this week to not sweat the small stuff! I'd have gone mad if OH had broken my laptop, I can't hold it in, even if I know it was an accident. He's the same, I'm not allowed to touch the blu-ray player in case I break it, and I daren't break the rules in case I do break it!

    OH won't let me touch his playstation, or his telly anymore. Admittledly I did get a bit tight at his house once and he found me tapping the screen while doctor who was on because 'his face had gone funny' First and last time I've got drunk, and that was over a year ago!

    I do spoil him alittle too much, but then he spoils me too so it's even, in a way!

    Thanks Lara - it's looking better now after another coat of black.
    Did everything go okay for your sister? (was it yesterday?) Hope it went without a hitch!

    Ooooh yes are you an auntie now?

    Injections made me woozy.

    NIM is great, amazingly calm about things, he has never gotten mad at me, save for the time I had a bit of a stupid commitment freak out! I couldn't be that calm, even if it's an accident I get huffy.

    I got married at 32, had to wait a long time to meet the right man:rotfl:

    Yeah me too, he was worth the wait though :) And I love the way you say "Found Martin" like "Found God"! :money: It's a similar kind of 'seeing the light' thing I think!

    Morning girls, I'm having one of those days where you wish you hadn't bothered getting out of bed! Took me an hour to get to work this morning, now they're installing some extra electrical points next door so there's loads of banging and drilling right next to my head, and work is just poo! And I've left my little notebook at home so I'm a bit lost without my lists :o

    Hmph. My OH is a bit like that too, says he never gets annoyed at things, that's just an alien concept to me, everything annoys me!

    The Reader last night was fantastic, I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to you all. Very thought provoking, brilliant acting, and loads of lovely 50s and 60s clothes and hairdos :D

    Are the jabs for Egypt Dinah? Five is a bit scary! I was surprised we didn't need any at all to go to Cuba. Enjoy your days off, I have one scheduled in for the 23rd, can't wait!

    It's weird, I'm never huffy if my parents have broken something of mine - even with mums dog chewed my shoes! - but if it was my brother, sister or OH I'd have a right huff on.

    You clearly need some chocolate then! I had the 5 injections when I went to tunisia I think, I was too busy looking at the wall charts to notice what she was doing. Not long till you go now!

    Good going Dinah, your total seems to be growing quickly! Sorry about the injections making you feel woozy, think you and Tete need a chocolate break! What the heck, lets all have a chocolate break!

    Glad to hear that The Reader was good, I want to see it but OH is not into that kind of thing (If it hasn't got Stallone in it he's not interested! LOL!) so I'll have to find someone else to watch it with!

    Do we have a new auntie in our midst? I hope so, babies make me go all gooey and broody!
