    Had to get the washing back in because neighbour was doing something with his barbecue which involved some smelly fuel or other. At 10 am I assume he was testing it out. I've got a bad feeling there will be cooking going on later today. I hate the smell of barbie.

    A lot of the washing was dry so I've just got a couple of bits spread round.

    HI all, hope you all have a lovely meet(i know I've probably missed you all)

    Won't be doing any flying this weekend hurt my knee last night and it swollen to twice the size of the other one, I opened the freezer last night and someone had put the cellotape dispenser on top of it, it fell and hit my knee-picture me rolling round the floor in agony still holding on to the tub of ice cream :rotfl:, although it was agony I can see the funny side now, so I'm just going to rest up today and will have to catch up tomorrow. Good excuse to boss everyone else into doing chores:D.

    Thanks Toots I can't believe I got 5 stars:T:T:T:T:T.

    Hope you all have a safe and happy weekend, catch you on next weeks thread. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • poohbear - hope you and your family have a lovely day :beer:

    Have a great time everyone at the meet :beer:

    We're having an afternoon in the garden, then out to the cinema and for a pizza (thaks Mr T :T ). DD has become extremely popular all of a sudden (she was out last evening and several of her friends called to see her) and has been invited to 2 parties tonight, so I'm moving her between them at 10pm.

    Enjoy your days everyone, Penny. x
