    Good afternoon all!!

    Well I went to the Coldplay Concert last night in Belfast:) WOW the best concert I have ever went to!!!

    Standing at the parking kiosk to pay for the car park who was standing beside me............TIM WHEELER from ASH:) So i spoke to him as I know his sister and got my photo taken with him:)....He went to the same school as DS1. And people when they realised who he was started mobbing him....I apologised and he laughed and said its ok....it kinda happens!! A young girl came over to me then and asked what he had said to me:)

    Cards - All parcels weighed, DS2 got wrong for sucking on an envelope or 2 (self sticking but he likes the taste of the glue, odd child) decided against putting them in the box as I have 5 carrier bags full of envelopes, they might not all fit (Large size carriers). So will take them Monday am to post office. There isn't a collection until after then anyway. I will send them all first class, most stuff has arrived next day for me 1st class this week, if they are a little late at least you get to enjoy them when it's a little less manic. Going to put them in my car now.

    Then think of what I need to do next.....sitting rooms full of the bits of paper off the self stick envelopes, DSs don't do bins!

    Moam thanks for the card, arrived this morning x

    soappie even if it's a little late no panic, DS1s birthday being just after Xmas (hence I have bought his presents now as it's 10 days after) we call them Parcel Farce based on past experiences.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
