    Hello - Cooee!!!

    Im 500 miles further north than i was when i woke up this morning! Was a windy-windy drive home and horribly rainy at times....but me and my precious cargo made it in one piece.

    Went and bought some fancy dress costumes.....I am going as a flamenco dancer and little one is going as a ganster....mostly because he liked the gun that came with it :rolleyes:

    Went and picked up my brothers birthday cards (his gift is already bought) and then went into my sisters work.......she didnt know i was coming. She was rather shocked and loud :rotfl: think she wanted to cry but looked at her customers and managed to control herself!! I havent seen my mum yet, so will still be able to surprise her if my sister manages to keep it to her self :rolleyes: . Am in my dads now all fed by my stepmum (its so fab to have someone else cook :D ).

    Regarding ages - im 28 (feeling 100 at the minute) I will be 29 in July. :eek:

    hope you are all ok. love n hugs to everyone xxxxx

    Glad you got there safely Jo, have a great time. Sounds like you are having fun already!

    I really must stop eating Cadbury's mini rolls. Maybe I should eat skittles instead.

    I have just about had it with this week. Found out today that another of the pupils from my class at my old school has passed away. That's 2 of them this month. Beginning to think I'm in the wrong line of work - too much bad news at the moment.

    Will catch up with the thread now and then find my list

    I just walked through the DR without putting the lights on, and 'found' some puppy poo the hard way. You can really, really go off a dog you know. He has been doing really well too. Anyway, mess cleared up, socks binned, and puppy cuddled. Will have to wash the carpet in the morning though.

    SSL - the curlywurly sounds perfect to me
    Jo - glad you got up safely, not a good day for driving
    Pigpen - sounds like a good week then?
