At about 5am maybe! I've got work til 4, I so hate Saturdays! Hopefully DS will stay in bed til around 8 tomorrow because he's shattered. He was up at 6 this morning (I went to sleep around 3) raiding the fridge. He'd got his chair on top of his table and had the remains of a massive bar of chocolate round his face :eek: He did 'save' me 2 squares though, I was not impressed!

Crafty_Toots

Oooo of course! Sorry honey!! Lol @ your DS, bless him, his heart was in the right place.... (his tummy :rotfl:)

He is a very sneaky little boy atm, you could stick stuff to the ceiling and he'd still find a way to get it, He's my little spiderman. He won't believe me that he's going to get hurt, all I get out of him is 'big three boys don't hurt themselves'.

Crafty_Toots

Oh dear, a little monkey huh?!

My kids are past that thankfully, but that said, I'm expecting DD and her friend to walk in the door any minute, she'll grab her stuff for her sleepover, then I'll have the dubious pleasure of taking them to her friends house. Grump, look at the time! Shouldn't be having to drive around the city at this time on a Saturday night!

Is anyone watching casualty?
Sorry to interrupt.

Edit: Oh, it's finished. And I flicked on to Joan Collins children talking about watching her in sex scenes and run around naked. Umm...how about don't watch it then?

I can't imagine Jordan's kids looking at her...ew.

But she looks a bit overdressed, and like a bit of a mess in my opinion now. She has a good attitude though

Edit Edit: And her son is called Sasha?

Edit Edit Edit (:rotfl:) I hope no one here has a son called Sasha now...

I'm annoyed with one of my ebayers, I sold her one of my vintage coats and she was great comms etc. Made sure it was delivered to her confirmed paypal addy and did it be tracked and signed for - have checked and printed off the signature from Royal Mail. But has she left feedback or been in touch? Nope. Paypal won't let me have the money until she does, or I have to wait 16 days, whichever is first. Grrr, I've contacted her twice (coat was delivered before 1pm on Tuesday, but had no response at all. I don't want to p**s her off as I don't want neg feedback lol, but at the same time, I want to access that money! Grump.

Finally, something I can help with, log into Paypal, next to the amount show say "Print postage" there is a little arrow next to it, click the arrow then click "add tracking". Put in the tracking number, paypal will check it has been signed for and release the funds within 24 hours.

Off to finishing catching up!

Dilli – here is my choice of songs. Thanks for inspiring me to do this; I’ve really enjoyed listening to the songs and recalling their associated memories.

My first dance - Flowers in the window (Travis).
This one means a lot to me on so many levels. When I was at uni, my OH and I used to listen to this all the time. We were living separately and I used to wave at him from the window when he left and he used to say I was like his flower in the window (sounds really sickly ) I was going through a really rough time just before I met him and this is reflected in the lyrics. Travis were also the first group we saw live together. Also there are seagulls in the background and it reminded me of home – we held our wedding reception right on the cliff edge in one of the most beautiful parts of the world (in my opinion) and the music was fitting with the location.

The blower’s daughter (Damien rice).
OH used to sing this in the bath and I love the melody.

Gold (Spandau ballet).
This song makes us both feel so alive and we love jumping around to it. It makes me feel strong and ready to take on everything the world throws my way. OH and I were living 4 hours drive apart from each other and I saw this song performed live in a field near where I live. When it was playing I rang him up and ‘sang’ the whole thing down the phone to him – and he still asked me to marry him.

Somewhere over the rainbow. (Either Eva Cassidy or Israel Kamakawiwo).
This is just plain beautiful – both versions and each has their own very powerful although tragic stories. I love ‘where troubles melt like lemon drops’.

Town called malice (The Jam).
Just great for throwing ourselves around the dance floor .

The last one, we didn’t play at our wedding as it’s more modern. However it was played at my sister-in-law’s funeral last year and is a truly beautiful song. I’d never heard it before her funeral and I would choose it in memory of her. She sadly died in October, aged 29, of a brain tumour. A beautiful, vibrant young woman, snatched away from everyone who loved her . She chose the song herself. It’s ‘Everything’ by Michael Buble. ‘In this crazy life and through these crazy times, it’s you it’s you, you make me sing’. To me, it’s a reminder to treasure my family and friends. Life really did seem crazy, being at the funeral of someone so young and with so much to offer the world. But the song, to me, is also about celebrating her life and the times we did have with her and this is why I think it would be perfect for a wedding.

Oh Em...that's a really beautiful song, and it sounds like it fits your sister in law perfectly. I'm so sorry...I don't have the words to say anything more eloquent, but I wish I did.

I used to want to get married to I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me. Not sure its really appropriate though, lol!

Oh and I'm All Out Of Love...that's probably not a wedding song either.

How about Hero? The Enrique Ingelesiasis version?
