    Home from an exhausting day out, we went to Swanage, which is a gorgeous town near here, we went on the bus (of course) and the little ferry, then watched steam trains once we got there :) Mum and Dad came with us and we had a lovely day :D

    I have a headache now, too much sun I think, and am going in the bath in a minute before I start planning what to wear tomorrow ;) Ds has a dentist appointment in the morning, then he's going to holiday club in the afternoon and me and crouchy are going for a picnic and then who knows after that ;):p

    Was that the little chain-link ferry that goes across to Sandbanks? I love that ferry; not sure why but it's just so quaint.

    So, picnic day has arrived and I'm stupidly nervous :o I don't even know if I fancy him, why do I always get like this?? We do get on well, we have a laugh ... aaagh, stop, stop, stop! Ok, so we'll meeet up, have fun and who knows ... I need to stop getting ahead of myself, stop worrying about stuff that isn't even there to be worried about ;)

    Ok, will be back in a bit, ds has the dentist at 10, then home to tidy up a bit and get changed :) before taking ds to holiday club after lunch.

    Back from the dentist, she said ds teeth are fine :D This is a huge relief to me, I have shockingly bad teeth and started having fillings at age 7, so am so pleased that ds is now 7 and his teeth are still healthy :T This was always one of those "when I have kids I will make sure they look after their teeth' kinda things, woohoo, have achived it so far :j

    Stopped in at tescos on the way back, needed sevearl bits and pieces, ended up getting £26 worth of stuff but used a £14 dtd voucher so only cost me £12 :beer:

    Got home to find postie had been and brought me 3 things; a card to say I need to sign for a letter (think its my TT tickets :D), my phone bill (so can now claim the cashback) and my new phone charger which I only ordered yesterday :) happy days! Right, now its time to qhizz round and tidy a bit, get some lunch, get changed, get ds to holiday club and then go for a picnic :D

    Good evening all :D
    Well, crouchys just gone home, we went for a picnic, sat on the beach all afternoon and it was absolutely lovely down there. Then we came back here, chatted a lot and erm, had lots of fun ;):) Anyhow, he decided not to stay, has just gone home and basically after chatting for a long long time I *think* we both decided that we're both still messed up in the head from previous ex's, we both aren't too sure that we're looking for a proper relationship, so hey ho, fun was had all round and thats that :D I'm happy with that, hopefully fun will be repeated at some point, but for now I'm hoping its another step in the right direction of getting on without comparing people to ex-muppet ;)
    Oh, and another day without a call from the csa :cool:
