  • Whilst I have got my "apologising" head on.......................

    I would like to say sorry to Tigz :o after i had posted about the wonderful evening me and the children had on Holywell Beach, you very, very kindly posted some photos of the beach, I never thanked you for doing that but i did print them off as I didn't have my camera with me that evening. I made the pictures a bit bigger and bought some of those kind of cardboard/plastic photo frames from Boots that are magnetic and those lovely pictures are now on my fridge where they constantly remind me of that very special evening and how wonderful I felt, so Tigz, I apologise for not thanking you at the time, it meant such a lot to me and I haven't answered your questions about it since on the few times I have posted since. It was so lovely of you and without you I wouldn't be able to get that warm feeling every day or have my DD calling that "Mollie's beach" so thank you so very much xx

    I am sure more apologies will come to me in time :rotfl:Oh, here we go..

    Elliedee, I am sorry they are taking so long but hope they reach you soon, please chase it up with the tracking number if the parcel doesn't arrive soon xx or let me know what I can do xx

    That's it for now

    Oh no it isn't, Zed, I admire , respect and have a lot of time for you and think you are a pretty special man xx and I'm sorry xx

    Eeek, OH just called, was on his way over when he reversed out of his drive and heard/felt a thump, and got out to look, his passenger side has slumped, looks like the spring or something has gone, so he's having to get to his Dad's to borrow his car.... I can't go get him as DD asleep plus my car is running on fumes at the moment... always something with bloomin cars :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: he hasn't got the money to repair it so that will go on his CC :mad::mad:

    Sorry.. rant over!!

    My chilli is smelling lovely in the SC :D

    Officially sat here with tears in my eyes as that's so lovely to read Quirky, thank you.... xxxxx if you want anymore pics from there let me know, I can't remember what ones I posted but I'm sure I posted the best ones, but I have a few. It's so touching to hear that they give you so much pleasure xxx you don't need to apologise for not saying thank you at the time, I was more concerned I'd upset you xx

    Claire - just looked at your ebay link - it is really lovely. You must have a lot of patience, sadly just now I don't have any money to buy anything, but hopefully after January I might!
