    Pipgpen are you awake yet?? I'm bored here all by myself

    Sorry, I was otherwise engaged last night.. I got a little extra sleep.. think the company helped!

    I had my very first sleepover.. friend from college lol

    They are SO mean they made me come home from the pub WAY too early.. I had chips.. which I forgot to eat.. had a run in with ?hubby? (What DO I call him??) outside a pub.. fortunately it was obvious it was him that started it so the doormen were RIGHT behind me waiting for him to kick off!! I may not be so lucky later!! Embarrassed my sister something ALARMING.. *giggle* and am possibly the hungriest I have been in about 4 months at the moment!!

    While I was out DD1 had pizza and chips (and a friend stay over .. was like a doss house in here last night!) and has got chip seasoning all over the carpet in the front room which she can be cleaning up shortly. I also need some shopping. She has also snapped the strap on my favourite shoes which she is going to pay for in blood!!!

    Morning Everyone.

    Quite a nice day here. Hope it stays that way.

    Having a nice time with DB and SIL. We are going to see mum shortly.

    The poor cat is outside. Everytime they come Jake cries and wants out. Its my brothers voice we have discovered. Considering the the years Ive had him I would have thought he would know they wont hurt him. The vet thinks he was so badly treat its remained with him. Mind last night he came in for a hour when I enticed him with treats. But this morning he wont come in. Ive put water and food in his kennel for him.

    Dailies done.
    Kitchen floor swept.
    Dishes washed.

    Hugs everyone.
