    He's fine bun, he is very chilled out think it wad just yesterdays events that threw him a bit. We've had 2 months of being able to do what we like, he's been the male role model for b and that rug was pulled from under him. I'm driving the last leg and he'll be watching/ listening to the football so will be nicely ready for the weekend

    now I've had a rub down before but never a anti bac spray down lol

    Dearest Dearest Buuny what a lovely weekend, we both sorry ALL had a wonderful time :)

    Slight car disaster with R's car breaking down on the way up and it taking over 5 hours to get there...luckily I had AA relay so they picked us up from Bunnys today and we've come home on the back of a truck from mullershire. B had lovely time with the bunnykins, stuck an aqua bead up her nose and then went slightly crazy with the glue that was obviously going down her throat...funny though bun lol! Lovely food, chatting, wonderful friends, seeing samster and clan today and lovely quality time chatting for hours with R :)

    Happy brilliant weekend...

    Well R has sorted his car out with Saab dealer £585 ouch..but he was expecting more so isn't too bothered by that and he has use of his dads car until Thursday so at least it means he can come over tomorrow as planned :)

    At work for me until 1pm then im off for a run...am climbing the walls having not been since last wednesday because of this cold. B is supposed to have a piano lesson at 4:45 but am seriously thinking about stopping it at the moment as a) I can't afford it and £40 a month could be well used elsewhere and b) travelling the 7 miles into weymouth at this time of year is a nightmare and will take me an hour there an hour back through rush hour costing me so much in petrol.

    I'm too used to going places at silly times of the night. It only takes me just under3 hours to hit Ferndown in my truck which is limited to 53mph.

    At least he managed to get home without eating the big bag of fudge he'd got me for Fathers Day:D
