We're back!! I did it

A very difficult start to the day and an almost accident on the way back but we've had a lovely day.

I hit a go-cart wheel placed in the middle of the road and thought from the noise I had destroyed the underneath of the car, but bar a few scrape marks there doesn't seem to be any obvious damage and she got us there and back. Then I pulled in for petrol and a guy pulled in behind me and told me my brake light was out. I pulled into a National Autocentre place 200 yeards up the road and bless them, they had it fixed within 5 minutes and refused to take any payment at all

We had a lovely (but hot) time at the Water Park, we'll definitely go there again. Then I made a split second decision at a roundabout to come home a slightly longer but more picturesque and cooler way and as I pulled off the roundabout there was a huge pileup in the lane that I should have been in! Something was looking after me today

Never mind, West Midland Safari Park tomorrow and we are going by coach

That happened to me earlier too. Except it wasn't rain, it was bird poo and it landed on my freshly washed hair just as I was about to step onto the bus :mad: :rolleyes: :rotfl: I went "oh f***" and wiped it off with my hand, couldn't find a tissue so I had to wipe my hand on my jeans, just near the waistband. I was wearing a baggy white shirt which covered it up I quickly shoved my hair into a ponytail and plonked my sunglasses on my head, hoping that would cover up any remains. Then I worried that everyone could see it, til I got to work and could go to the toilets where there's a mirror so I could sort it out

snoozer

Sorry Troo, can't help :rotfl: at that.

Home from work now but still far too hot and humid.

Spoke to DD, she was offered a 3 day modelling job yesterday (told you she was very beautiful) with Vidal Sassoon but had to turn it down because she's only been in her present permanent post a couple of months and can't have time off yet:mad: .

Must go and empty the WM and refill. Have friends coming tonight for our weekly (if possible) gabfest. We've been meeting since our children were babies 23 years ago, I was not much older then than DD is now. I can't imagine her having babies yet:eek: .

hello all,
we have had the thunder and pouring rain but it is still very warm, was at asda but it was shut as the tills werent working, pity i didnt go earlier, might have got my shopping cheaper
wont have to go into town round about lunchtime as they have started transporting the windmills again and if you get behind them it takes forever to get home, two great long lorries and the roundabouts take ages
was going to do blackcurrant jam today, but it will have to wait till tomorrow now

tootles - glad the hospital went not too badly for you
jayarr- hope the theory test went well for your ds
penny-pincher- hope the holiday is a lovely break for you, if you ever
need to talk feel free to get in touch

i know there was more but my memory has gone
hugs to everyone xx

Thanks for that, troo!
on the whole, I think I'd rather have our half dozen raindrops!
(no such thing as downpour here, still very hot & sticky even with no sunshine)

Guess what guys?

I've finished!!!!

I'm so thrilled it's unbelievable. Ok, so next door had to whine about which way round the fence was - even though I've given her the decent side, but I've got it up and it looks ok. I will post a piccie as soon as I've sussed out my new phone Glad you asked Catowen as I really want to show you all - sad or what!:rotfl:

I think I've even sussed out how to tackle the remaining 'gap' (long story, will be easier to explain with piccies) and, I may even be attempting to make my own gate out of the remaining panel :money: . Now how OS is that .

Only skimmed the posts this eve, so appols if I miss anything important ....

cha97michelle - Men eh? I've yet to master living with one so can't offer any good advice, but (hugs) to you.
BargainRzl - I'm so excited for you! Fingers are well and truly crossed (makes hammering a bit difficult though!)
Catowen - My DS2 had the little 'visitors' last week - I''ve got a fantastic comb on prescription thanks to some info tootles had posted on this forum. IT's the only comb I've ever known to actually get the 'nits' out as well as the lice. Ooo! my head is itching again!!!
Churchmouse - me? an inspiration? To do what? Ah! Watch gardening programmes no doubt :rotfl:
Lisa aka Mrs Morten Harket - congratulations to you both
Well, best go feed my darlings (I know, bad mum, but I've only one pair of hands and they did have a lush lunch )
Hugs to all,

Evening all

Had a lovely day followed by a family splash in the pool - the clouds came overhead and the thunder was trying to rumble loud enough to make an impact. We actually got told to be quiet by a neighbour as we were all laughing so much at making a whirlpool in the pool... Some people have no sense of fun - it wasn't even 8pm....hardly disturbing anyone.

Hope you've all had a great day and managed to cool down somewhat.

So much for an early night, all the neighbours gathered in the street because some little s**ts decided to kick in the doors of all the cars parked down the street The police actually turned up within a decent time! Going to try and get some sleep now.
