    Gin is faaarrrr better than tea or coffee in moderation - and also in excess in my experience....

    Admen and me don't get on. They do an ad, if I object to it, I deliberately avoid their product. That is the reason I have not bought Persil for almost 30 years - simply because I took objection to an advertising campaign they had way back when...

    No flying done today will finish last list over the weekend but LO in his new bed tonight we got him the Kritter one from Ikea in blue ahd he has stayed in it really thought he would be in and out the first night.

    Sounds like a lot of you are going through the mill at the moment so HUGE HUGS to all

    I am actually going out tomorrow night it is the first time in over a year DD1 going with me,it is my friends birthday just going for a meal and drinks they are all going on to a nightclub but not my scene so OH picking me up.

    Sorry guys but I detest TKMaxx,too much like a jumble sale and you cant get a pram round it really stresses me out my mum loves it though.
    I have to say I dont really enjoy shopping its a necessity for me ,more of a hobby for my mum she loves it.


    Have to take DS2 to spend his birthday money in the morning,opposite way to Valliland lol its burning a hole in his pocket,OH taking DS1 to have his hair cut at DD1s salon.

    Sunday DS2 has a parade for St Georges day with Scouts but his friends mum has offered to take him,which is great as I can do some flying,

    Sorry for rambling love to all

    OOhH meant to ask all you with breadmakers,my kids love breadrolls,not as keen on the loaves,is the recipe the same for brown rolls as white as I have some brown flour I bought from a mill in Derbyshire I really want to use,sorry if Im being dim

    Evening all,

    After the mammoth skim read of over 15 pages, I'm admitting defeat, and going to bed, as I promised myself an early night, and haven't got there yet.

    Big hugs for LadyL and anyone else who needs or wants one.

    Thanks for missing me Toots - yes I have been working full days since Tuesday, and also have been to the gym twice this week to do some of my marathon challenge (I did 5.01km on Wednesday and 6.65km tonight, so only 8.08km left to do in total now). Trouble is, the running makes me really tired, so I've been having a nap before dinner instead of coming on here, and haven't done any flying since completing Tuesday's list.

    Froddy I'm looking forward to the meet tomorrow. I've written down all of the train times and where I need to change etc, and plan to go to the library tomorrow morning to pick up a good book to read on my journey. Moon has the day off work tomorrow so he can take me to the station.

    Went to my M&D's for dinner tonight, and watched a recording of my sister's car accident on real rescues - made me feel really anxious, even though I know she's ok. For anyone who's interested, her's was the blue car in the programme.

    Well before I need the match sticks to prop open my eyelids, I'd better get ready for bed or I'll regret it in the morning when I arrive at the meet and scare everyone to death with the bags under my eyes. lol

    Night night everyone,

    sexymouse xx
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Wonder if it's the same parade as Miss A and W are in...........

    soappie the MP's answer unfortunately went over the heads of the little ones but apparently in another class she did say she thought that there would be a new leader after a general election next year!

    Really should go to bed seeing as I was kernackered at 8pm, slight problem is I feel more awake now!

    Oh my gosh sexym - I had to watch with no sound because my laptop plays up but how scary for your sister!

    Big hugs to Lady-L - hope you are okay.

    Soappie - my mum and my auntie have boycotted a clothes shop (can't remember what it is now) as long as i can remember because they objected to an ad from the 80s - so you're not alone! But I want a cup of coffee now...

    Hmph boyfriend came home from pub at half 11, claimed he wasnt that drunk and had only come home because friend he was with went home, and he's now dead to the world in bed and I can't sleep. Tried, and failed.
    And can't do any flying because I'll make too much noise. More revision overnight I guess.

    Awww carol I hate that, in fact I think I must be the same, if DP is asleep first I really struggle to get to sleep. Maybe because I like a cold bed. Then tonight, when he will be out until 3am ish, I can't sleep.
