    Toochoosey - I'm up for it, if you let me know when and where, but how will we know each other? Pink fluffy dusters in our button holes? :D Maybe if your DD is not good in town, Saturday is not the best day, but don't know what suits others. After all, I'm off sick at the moment, so my time's my own. And Valli wants to come too (but only if she can get a private jet)! But if anyone fancies Cwmbran, it's the French Christmas Market from Thursday of this week and free parking, don't forget.

    that sounds good but as a dinner lady i (work) 12 till 1.15 so weekdays out, i know we dont all have kids but if we could find somewhere that is child friendly, or i could just take the nintendo, she should be ok

    ((hugs)) and more blankets for soappie who even though she is poorly is being lovely and helpful, you're a treasure x

    I'm off to bed too I think, shattered, night night everyone xx (and thanks for your support) DPs currently playing with a hornby simulation programme and pushing himself up and down the conservatory on the computer chair. I wonder sometimes if I do just have 3 children, going to bed before I end up telling him off!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Then, i was unpacking the shopping when OH phoned and asked if i had heard from Ds1 as he wasn't there when he went to pick him up from school:eek: . I tried not to panic and said wait a while and see if he shows up as the time OH picks them up has only just changed from 3.20 - 3.05 ( they wanted to go into town after school for a bit but don't anymore as it's too cold:rolleyes: ). At 3.40 OH phoned again and said he'd waited and looked everywhere he could think of and he couldn't find him:eek: :eek: ( now i was worried ). Just as i was on the phone to the school to see if he had a detention he'd forgotton to tell me about he rings the doorbell. He'd walked home and claims he told me the night before he was going to:mad: :mad: ( he didn't as my answer would have been no). So he's not in my good books now. It's a long way home along a busy main road and he hasn't got a phone or anything any more.

    Oops that was longer than i intended:o

    you sound a lot calmer than i woud have been!!! how old is he????
