    morning all

    washing blowing on line...looks like I WILL be at a football match today...

    I went out last night and like a crazy mad woman I agreed to go away for a girly weekend to celebrate my umpteith birthday...I've got a feeling I MIGHT have agreed to go to ROME
    (but Dublin; Edinburgh, Barcelona, Newcastle and Cardiff were mentioned (because I feel I should visit ALL the Kingdom's capitals; Paris and Amsterdam dismissed cos I've been there...I can't QUITE remember!)

    We had an Italian, one of OUR party slipped on the slippy floor, one of ANOTHER party did - the accident book was asked for and not brought:rolleyes: for the other lady, 2 of our party ordered desserts, the Tiramisu disappointed so they didn't pay for them and we all got free coffee;))

    But the spaghettia and meatballs was yummy

    All done, can I have a star please Toots :j:j:j

    Good morning all, not had time to catch up, only skimmer over a few post, hugs to you all :T

    My house is shining like a new pin due to the fact that the kids went to the cinema and then for something to eat with their Granny yesterday, DH was working then playing in a pool tournament.

    I was supposed to be going to visit a friend who has just had a baby 4 weeks ago and she said she would phone when she got home as she was going to 1 shop but she never phoned until 5.15 and kids were coming back at 6 :mad: So I spent the whole time flying and got the rest of my lists done, done both kids rooms as well so today am just about to leave DH with DS and go out for some retail therapy :rolleyes: Aldi are doing a buffet server thing which I really want and I also need to try and find brown leggings for DD's brownie party. So have a lovely day whatever you do
    and I may catch up with you all later :A


    Me too, may go for a 'look'....*hides from Greenbee*:p

    Funny I thought of you instantly when I read it :rotfl:

    I've written ALL my xmas cards, so has littley (school ones) so I've done something productive at least, tinkered with the lights again, put the DW on and text DD1 and DS1.

    Littleys harping on to go food shopping, as there's 'nothing in' she's right mind you, other than todays tea there's not a morsel in the house, I hate food shopping only cause I never know what to feed people, and don't want to go *whimpers*

    Diva meant to say earlier, I'm loving the daily carol x
    valli funny what you agree to when under the influence :D
  • Toots - it may just be my warped sense of humour, but I wonder what Caroline Aherne would make of your mum. (we used to swear she had met my Nan when she wrote the Royles, Nan in that used to say exactly the same things!!!!)
    One sock nearly finished (xmas present) Have got everything crossed that all go to school tomorrow, am going stir crazy, can't get anything done and house is a tip. (I really really want to get it tidied for xmas and before I start my course in Jan.)
    Love hugs and healing vibes for all.
    The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:

  • Good morning everyone :beer: DH and I are in the middle of making cranberry and port sausages from our Old Spot pork, and then friends are coming around soon to divide up the roasting joints, etc, and sample the sausages :j they'll be taking some away, too ;)

    Children due home from camp this evening, probbly with lots of dirty, wet kit :rolleyes:
