NPM - we had this for one of our readings http://poemas-amor.com/poem.php?id=10 which my H found. Never heard it before but thought it was lovely.
The other one was this http://www.whereincity.com/contributions/poems/4383 it's incredibily twee but I do love it
Anyway just thought I'd share for inspiration purposes
Tiredmum - good luck with your confrontation tonight. Hugs - I hope it goes well xxx
Just nipped on as I wanted to show mindee some pics of daffodils - we made one from pipe cleaner, egg box carton and some crepe paper in honour of St David's day on Monday

Thanks Bitsy I will have a look at those;)
i have ( I think) sorted out most of music for ceremony......I keep changing my mind:o
This is what me and Noah are walking in to( and my dad). We will not walk in until the singing bit starts;). It is special to me because of the words and memories of when Pinocchio was Noahs fave film and we had it on about 50 times a day:)

When we are signing the register we are having this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfBn5IJgP0o
This was on my Ipod a lot when I first met OH and the line " I close my eyes and count to ten, and when I open them you`re still here" seemed very relevant as he saw more and more of Noahs behaviour and the hard work involved I was always convinced that one day when I opened my eyes he would be gone:( and was forever amazed that he was always still here:o
Then this

:wave: Afternoon all, and Happy Birthday Smokeybabe.
Swift post - have to go into town shortly, got a whole load of errands, culminating with *fanfare* an exciting trip to Morrisons. Thrilling! (NOT!):D
I really do wish I could get out on my own; Mr LW is for some obscure reason being a total @r$e today, and tbh, I wish he was in the office, not w*rking from home.:mad:
Dunno what's wrong; if I'm in the doghouse for some reason, I have no idea why.
Highlight of my day has been decluttering a load of candle holders; I hadn't realised I had so many!
I'll keep back a selection, but the ones I really don't need can be polished up, and can go to the bring'n'buy table at the next moot.:)
Car service tomorrow - haven't yet decided if I shall go along or let Mr LW go on his own.:cool:
Any road - I hope everyone's having a good Friday; ((((HUGS)))) to all who want/need one today.:oIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
NPM - Loving the songs choices.....:D we had this when signing
. Keep us updated on the wedding details
You know your getting old when yougo to the pub sit outsideand admire the hanging basket :cool:

Hiya peeps:j:j
Still full of this bloody cold, i'm sick of it now:oAnyway have just been to ALD1 and gotloads of fruit veg, orange juice etc to get the vits in, and am making a big pot of soup for later:D
JACKIE Coco may never be a big fan of other dogs, my 2 stafffies aren't keen but were brought up with my labs and were fine.Just keep her on lead, and try and discourage any barking and snapping by distracting her when another dog approaches
:DMy dogs best friends are two massive ex police dogs, they bark at them and they just ignore them:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Anyway (((huggles))) to all in need today, and HAPPY BDAY SMOKEY XX :bdaycake:"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf"

:j:jI've been outside....and spoken to 'real people':j:j first time since Sunday evening!! Can you tell I've had cabin fever?!
I thought I'd try a little wander to the the coastal path. I was fine with that but it was freezing and blowing a gale, even though it was sunny, so I only stayed out for 15mins. I watched the kite surfers, such a fun sport
Then I thought I'd brave a short trip to the local shop in the car. It's only a minute drive so figured I'd be ok, and I was. I had little chat with the woman there, and bought some magazines, crumpets and orange juice. Then when I came back to the flat I met oneof my neighbours on the stairs and said hello to him too.
Now I'm going to make crumpets and read trashy magazines

Afternoon all~
Wilbur- Congrats on the dwindling overdraft! :T
flutterby- Glad you’re on the mend, just don’t overdo. Crumpets and trashy mags, eh? Those should take care of any lingering effects, lol.
Julie67- Enjoy your ‘snuggly’ weekend, exactly why we are getting said sofa
candygirl- sorry to hear the cold is hanging on, here’s hoping all those vits and hm soup help a bit.
Nuttin’ much OS here today other than doing dinner and a quick hoover.
Have spent too much time today searching t’internet for bread tins, looking for a deeper one than you find everywhere (makes nice a nice high loaf that isn’t all ‘bloom’) and have not found any, well one in NZ, but have come close so close may have to do as I’m fed up looking!
The wind is blowing something horrid and has been for most of the afternoon - it’s raining too and cold but not freezing cold thank goodness. We went out sofa hunting again, trying to stay local and finally found ‘the’ one, and in budget in Gorleston which amazed me, lol. Have tried ever so hard to stay away from DFS and the like and it finally paid off.
Back home and about to have a coffee & biccy and watch todays recorded Midsomer. Have ‘The Gentle Art of Domesticity’, which finally came in at the library, to keep me busy this weekend if I can’t find anything else to do.
To all of those poorly in body or spirit. 0 -

Ruby -welcome to my world, its stressful every day where I work, I never thought the world of cleaning would be so bad! worse today as it was payday, always problems :eek:
OH has also had a mare of a day and will not be home tonight
just when I could do with a hug :mad:
Still he should be back tomorrow, not sure what we are doing this weekend if anything, hopefully just chill a bit.
Am very proud of my daughter today, she has been accepted to start an access course after easter, she wants to be a midwife so this is the first step.
Got home from work to find a box sitting on the doorstep, some flowers from my mum and dad for my birthday next week......got some choccies in there too :drool:

Definitely the holiday so far for this year, jackie.
Last year, the best prize was £1,200 of garden furniture.
Prior to that, the best prize was a wii and flat screen TV
