    Morning all, managed a fairly early night last night and feel better for it today :) So today, lovely not having to get ready for work ;) I'm planning on watching the wedding, with the laptop handy to mooch online at the same time. The clouds here aren't looking too promising at the moment but we're supposed to be having a party with the neighbours starting about 1ish, weather permitting :D

    I did the ironing last night and got the place fairly tidy, still more to be done and ds room is about 3/4's done. Going to measure up for his bed this morning and then spend the csa money on that, at least that way I have something decent to show for it and as it was money i wasn't expecting to receive anyway then its no loss to me :)

    Aah, what a great day :D After watching the wedding (and blubbing) we went down to our communal area, hung up the bunting, lit the bbq and started our party. There were about 6 adults and 8 kids and we had a really great time, eating,drinking, chatting, music, games and just general fun :) The weather has been great all day, the rain finally arrived about 10 minutes ago but until then it was lovely :T Aah, how great to be British :D

    Morning all, sun is shining, another lovely day ahead :) I have to stay in today until my TT tickets have been delivered, hopefully earlier rather than later. Ds is off to his dads tonight, I'm off out with a friend this evening. Really need to try and get ds bed sorted out today, either measure up and order it or wait a few days and see if it goes into the sale (Argos had one roughly this time last year that it went in). At the moment its £50 off though, so don't know whether to chance it and wait or just take that and get it at that price :o

    Nothing much else to report so far this morning, Bmth are playing away at Hartlepool today, if they win then we should be sure of a play-off place (fingers crossed :D)

    Take That tickets were delivered at about 11.30 so at least we didn't have to stay in all day :) We've been to the park and had a good game of frisbee, now home on the sofa while ds plays trains and I'm listening to the footie :D

    At half-time we're winning 2-0 and Leyton Orient, who are the team behind us, are losing 2-0 :j :j :j

    We're in the play-offs :j :j :j :j Typically, we drew 2-2, letting in a goal in the 94th minute :eek: :cool: but Orient lost 3-0 so now can't catch us in the final match of the season :D:D :T :T
