He called ds tonight, I asked about my money and he mumbled something about sorting it out tomorrow, cos of course I've never heard that one before and believe every word that comes out of his mouth :rolleyes: :rolleyes: He said he couldn't phone this week to see how ds was as he's been busy at work :rotfl:..... if anyone can think of a more pathetic excuse please let me know

I thought Strictly was on tonight but just realised it isn't, so it may be a nice warm bath and an early night for me, I'm quite tired and it is yucky outside, so snuggly pj's and a book sounds good

Hey BB, meant to say we went to Exbury on Sunday and they had a steam thing on, lots of mini steam engines, and in the engine shed, there were model railways, thought of you and DS

We went to Furzey gardens today, have you been there? It's really good, there are some pics on my FB, you have to look for fairy doors at the bottom of trees. There's a nice play area too.

Are you still ok for the 28th?

benbenandme

Yep still good for 28th Off to have a look at your pics, check out the rainbow thing on mine, tis soooo funny

Just made £7 from a matched bet
