    Yeh but not as much as trying to read a barbie book to DD that my friend bought her. just seeing mer written down as in mermaid and merprince was enough to bring a smile to my face but when the next sentence was about her hunt for a pearl necklace and my 17 year old nephew and his friend were rolling on the floor laughing it was very hard to continue.

    Hello everyone :hello:

    Hugs to everybody, have skimmed read a few pages to try and catch up!

    Sorry 2cats to hear your sad news hun

    Babymoo - read your blog hun - you are an inspiration x I had endnometriosis for 19 years before having a hysterectomy and it's a hard condition to live with sometimes, very up and down with treatment and ops etc. I have book marked your blog so that I can keep reading xxx

    Paulabear - your sulkies are great - I have a 14 year old so will be looking for one for her birthday later in the year

    Well car update, had the car for 2 weeks and it's been back in the garage twice :( grrrrrrr!

    I think everything has caught up with me as I haven't been well for a few weeks and now have a really bad cold and a week later still have a sore throat and aches.

    I will be popping in each day now as you are all so lovely and supportive and have missed you all

    I am not going for the £10,000 I hope you don't mind but I don't want to put any pressure on myself as stressed enough about loads of things at the mo.

    Take care everyone ;)

    I keep having flashbacks to it and it is so hard not to burst out laughing in inappropriate places:rotfl:
