    Evening all :hello:

    Its been a lovely day here nice and sunny, windy and a bit cold but just to look out at the sun make me feel good :D

    Had a nice lunch at MrM's cheese and bacon omlette with salad mmm very tasty.
    Did the shopping for the 2 Mums, its a nightmare...."dont need much".....they both say, and we end up with a huge list off both of them :rolleyes:

    We had a lovely weekend down in West Sussex with our 2 little DGD's. The youngest is 3 tomorrow so they had a party for her yesterday, it went off really well, ahhh dont you just love kids parties??? teenage ones well now thats a whole different story ??? :eek:
    Our newest little DGS wasnt there as he has only been with DS2 and DIL since last Tuesday, he is a bit quiet and shy and not keen on the car, they are taking him out everyday on short journeys to get him used to it.

    Weezl - O how lovely CONGRATULATIONS

    I would do that too!:D we have a big garden with lots of the little blighters in:mad: I love gardening but am always nervous about coming across one. Next door used to have a large pond but its been filled in now. I think that's why there is a lot. We have also had a newt and a grass snake in the past:eek: I wish I loved pondlife, it would make my life much easier. I used to be spider phobic but am a lot better now. I caught a huge one the other day with my spider catcher and put it outside(cant kill them) but I cant see myself ever liking frogs.
    Do what you love :happyhear

    Evening all! Late post from me!!

    Have been to the animal shelter today helping out, had a really good first day! Started off walking a dog called Sally. I am not used to dogs, but I really enjoyed it! Sally loved the walk and so did I! Then I helped exercise the puppies. They are too small to walk, so they are let out in an exercise pen to run around. They went mad, running all over the place! They were soon tired out! This afternoon was spent with the cats. I spent a little time with each, grooming and socializing as well as having lots of cuddles!! Some of the cats were really excited, about having some company.!!

    Although I said I wouldn't, I really am starting to think about bringing some home with me!! I have my eye on a handsome male tabby, who I think would make great company for my tabby, just don't think she would see it that way, she rules the roost and doubt she would want anyone else in her house! lol But we will see! I have my birthday coming up soon and said to OH, wouldnt it be better instead of spending money on presents, put the money towards buying a cat from the shelter. It would be so much more worthwhile to give a cat a home, then to buy things I can probably do without.

    Not much OS today as have been out. Tomorrow have day at home, so gonna crack on with things round the house.

    Took DS1 to doctors after school as he has a weird rash on his cheek which came up over weekend. Apparently it's slap cheek? never heard of it before :confused: nothing serious and no medication needed, just told to let it run its course.

    Time to put kids to bed and have some time to myself! :D

    Bye for now
    Hels xxxx
