Morning all
Mudders - i think i have missed you but i hope you have a lovely holiday too.
Was a bit MIA yesterday - was shattered by the Shattered crew -:rotfl: no thats not fair - they are great - the 3 girls are just so lovely and well mannered and beautifully behaved - it was a joy to have them - it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to short but soooooooo good - Sarah is gorgeous and just what I imagined and she has a lovely hunky hubby! And of course there is the adorable Harry who was excitable but then he had been in the car for 7 hours too!! he soon settled and was as good as gold.
they were very naughty and brought me a beatiful bunch of roses and scented lilies and a HUGE box of diabetic chocolates!!! bang goes the diet again!!!:rotfl: and lovely plaque that says 'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away' - isnt that lovely.
We didnt have time t do anything but chat and a cuppa but it was great - i was tired last night so will have to catch up with you lot today.

we have sunshine today - SS must have brought it with her!!!
