    I am a very 'open' person myself and happily share with you all - and occasionally remember there are lurkers. Funny thing is my mum is not like that - she was always (and is still) a 'keeps herself to herself' type. So I need to respect her wishes.
    My mum and 'dad' do so much for me and I could not have coped without them.

    How sad am I? just scrolled back to see where bacon butties came in (as a Northerner it is my bounden duty not to refer to bacon butties as sandwiches)
    Triker or Summer or AnWsMum will confirm this
    and I bet Supergirl can, too!
    and I am not even thinking about the Scottish contingent!

    The Hut order already in! That should be another card filled just on time :D

    I'm hungry too now, who dared mention food? Trying to think what I have eaten today, lasagne and garlic bread, seem to have missed lunch and breakfast today. Ah the chaos of kids holidays! I wonder what I have that might be quick/easy. I need to get the mince out for tomorrows tacos aswell.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
