    Morning, going to read through in a mo, loads to do today as it's my last 'free' day when the boys are at school. After finding lots of poop and Megan collapsed this morning I have had to book her in at the vets this afternoon, 3.50pm, unsure if she'll be coming home, leaving the decision up to the vet, I just can't make that decision. I took her out after school run as she seemed to pick up and wanted to go but kept falling :( lots of cuddles today.

    Will read through in a mo and get myself a list together to keep myself busy.

    I ordered something in Argos for collection on Quidco, unsure if it will stamp because it says you have to manually validate and I am waiting to find out how you do that.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I've only caught the last half hour of the variety performance, has it got a transexual/gay theme this year and I missed the advertising? Doesn't bother me in the slightest, just seems rather odd!!!

    I only saw a bit of it - the male ballet dancers doing the female part. Very odd. Is that the part of it you mean?

    Why on earth were the Strictly judges on? :confused::confused:

    I also saw Cliff and the Shadows. I've always been a huge Cliff fan and have seen him many times (though not since 1990) and I've seen the Shads in concert too. I do think it's time that Cliff hung up the microphone though as his voice is nowhere near as good as it used to be - his range is definitely getting more and more limited. He's going to end up doing the 'talk singing' if he's not careful.
