Fantastic Friday 12th March Daily Chat. The weekend starts soon.

Morning all.
Can't believe Samuel is 1 today - where did that year go?
Today I shall be working, delivering birthday hugs and present and shopping for party food for tomorrow. Samuel has his party tomorrow AND it's my Mum's birthday.

    Morning Bookie and Gemmzie

    Busy weekend for you then Bookie, with Mother's Day as well! I can't believe S is one either - bet he keeps you all on your toes though!!

    I hear your countdown to the weekend Gemmzie - I am going into work this morning and then will probably work at home this afternoon, so the weekend seems nearer!

    Morning Gonzo - you snuck in whilst I was typing!

    It it was me & Hubbles I would pop by for a cuppa but I'm going up with FIL and he generally speaking only accommodates his own agenda:( It would be really handy cos I have a box of baby girl clothes to drop off...

    I think, from the state of his bedding and toys, Nathan has been playing in his cot but only made enough noise to wake me at about half 8!

    Big hugs Beanie - I sometimes think feeling flat is almost worse than feeling properly upset....
