Well,

I'm just sick of the weather here! It seems like the whole of the summer holidays I'm stuck inside with an overactive toddler and 4 year old.... can't even get them into the garden most of the time!

I can't get my clothes dried outside, everytime I go out I get soaked!
My friend has just spend months organising a youth event for kids here, only to find it is going to be a wash out all weekend so those activites planned for outside have to be cancelled.

Where can I go to........... I want a better quality of life than this!!!!:mad:

Florida (anyone)?

Perspex is a wonderful invention, its the Ulster substitute for a french pergola.

What you have to realise is that rain isn't actually a hinderance. Stick wellies and a rain coat on the kids and go looking for some big puddles. Even better........go to the beach. So what if they get wet? I take towels and dressing gowns to strip off the wet clothes and wrap them up in the car to dry off. They love it.

Hmph! I don't have that problem, one number on the lotto this weekend, so I think I can safely say I'm stuck here for a while yet :rolleyes:

Well, I guess I'm going to have to get used to this weather!

So, when I finally buy a house in a couple of years I am going to get a perspex thing in the garden! Or I could get a barn and have bbq's and parties in there!!!! Oh I'm excited now.

I'm going to take my kids out and make the most of my time with them splashing in puddles...

just need to accept the things I have no control over and make the time fun!!

I am so with you crusty toenail, I would be away in a flash if it weren't for my family. I would miss them terribly (I have already lived abroad - in a warm country, bliss - but missed them too much and came home). I'd miss my friends too...
