    cheap day out - went to stand in the sun and watch DS2 play rugby in a mini tourney - got extra time in the sun as the games kept getting delayed - not sure if good thing or not
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    Glad your weekend was good! I love Autumn too :) Sat in front of my fire with pj's on and cup of tea - bliss.

    Talking about X Factor, is it me or does Louis sound like he's crying when he sends them home?

    Think Louis getting soppy in his old age, or maybe its tears for the camera!

    Plzed Simon booted off the one who had been in One True Voice, as it was him who broke the group up, he's working as a musican, and give someone else a chance.x

    I was surprised at some of their choices tho, felt Simon should have given Nicole a chance instead of that last guy. I was glad the ex-strippers got thro - it shouldn't be held against them what they have done in their past - besides some of the pop videos eg for girls aloud are very raunchy anyway - could be ideal training!
