Two loads of washing dried and put away, it's turned out to be a lovely day. DH and DD2 gone out for a walk, my cold is making it too difficult to breathe for me to go but I've been sitting in the garden reading my book.

practice is the NOUN practise is the verb but my method for remembering which is which is to use advice ie Citizen's Advice Bureau - noun and advise - ie I advise you to vacuum your room NOW young man because they are pronounced differently...

afternoon everyone!
it was nearly wintery here this morning - heavy splodgy showers and a chilly wind but it has cleared up.

vanilla fabby news about the ring - like Dusty i remember when you lost it -it must have got dislodged with your cleaning - well done to DS for discovering it. sounds like the DIY is coming on - is an end in sight?
Polly hope you will soon be feeling loads better and I am glad its not your arm that has disappeared:rotfl: as for DH ....well what can i say :mad::rotfl:
FFP I voted for him even though i couldnt see him but i remember what he is like ....boooooootiful!!!!!
Valli LOL at your DD doing a level 10 - she must be going to follow in her domestic Mum's foorsteps - hope it lasts:T and and thanks for the english lesson - that is so much easier to remember.:D
pooh the wonders of technology - hope he keeps in touch. and well done to DD - that is a seriously long way to canoe:eek:
rach hello honey - glad you had a nice time with Mum and have your baby stuff organised.:D hope you are keeping well and bump is growing!

went to church this morning and we had a Christening - the little girl should have been done a couple of months ago but hadnt been well - so she was really vocal (in a nice way!) and very interested - aftershe was christened she clapped her hands :rotfl:

have had a nap and inspected the growth in the garden but thats about it - the forecast looks good for tomorrow so i will catch up on washing then.

Just put 2 more lots of plants on ebay, the car booters, were not in the mood for buying them, but looking at ebay's completed sales, they are currently selling for loads!. (just my luck that mine don't)

OH is sleeping in bed and he is on night tonight, I have come to my office to be out of the way, but I am getting bored now, and want to go home and do the ironing!! but that is upstairs, if I wake him, I'll never hear the end of it!!

re the practise/practice thing - someone gave me the tip - and quite recently, too;)

DS has also got a case of magnetics which was about £25.00 new - I'll advertise it for a tenner, I think. It can all go in his school trip fund, then he will benefit...

Toots ~~ for my father's 75th last year, I did a photo album of photos!, but use snapfish or photobox when they had discounts, so his album should have been (from memory) I think £39.99, but got it for £15.99 or some like that.

What are their main interests?

Valli

Toots look on the special occasions/celebrations thread for ideas...
But photo albums/scrapbooks are nice and special IMHO

Looby's (DD's nickname) curtains are on the line...
tis the first time they have been washed *hangs head in shame* and the header tape was really grubby *blushes to admit it* but done them at 30 deg as a quick wash and they look fine.
They've been up 3 or 4 years *blush*
going to get the hooks and wash them now...

Valli thats like most of our curtains!

Girls did something similar for their dads 40th they bought a big Album from Mr A and filled it with photo's of all the cars and Motorbikes he had ever owned and restored (there were hundreds!!) but he loved it said it was best present ever!

I have finished all the ironing:T:T:T:T:T:T
