    Luc - I wish I had a tenth of your energy.

    Sal - What you up to next weekend for the tight dress?

    Spursfan - Good luck with your £1 a day - Don't forget to use quidco as much as possible and music magpie is great for getting rid of CD/DVD's (they're on quidco too)

    My quiet day has been lovely, made muffins with DD2, sat in the garden for a bit with DH and DD1 has had friends round for a few hours - lovely to hear them all laughing but 9, 15 year olds take up a lot of room...and eat a lot of muffins. They're a good bunch though, very polite and the boys really do look out for the girls.

    Roast gammon, roast pots, cauli cheese, roast onions, green beans and cabbage for dinner....smells yums.

    I have a black tie party 40th/10th wedding anniversary at a friends beautiful farm with Marquee in the garden/mahoosive bit of land Pooky! I shall be wearing the dress I wore to the function at tower of london but really don't want to have to wear the Gok suction suit as it will be way too hot! We are having a weekend away, Mum is coming to look after B on the friday night while we go out to dinner (with R's ex wife...could be interesting) and then heading up to party saturday lunchtime and staying in a hotel with spa :) Its a shame that R is really suffering with undiagnosed siatica/some other running injury can't remember the name of. Really hoping he's a bit better by then as at the moment he's so drugged up to numb the pain!

    *heads off to Pooky's for dinner*

    Sounds good Sallly, hope R is better by then and you have a great time.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    You're all welcome for dinner - as long as you can wash up :D

    Sal - Sounds like an interesting weekend - dinner with his ex sounds a bit :eek: though. Hope R is feeling better, I have sciatica and know just how horrid it can be, lots of stretching and alternating between hot and cold packs works for me (along with as many painkillers as I can take!)

    I know its definitely :eek: but only fair considering I will be spending time with her children and maybe on my own with them. If I were her I would want to meet me too to make sure im not some kind of nutter!
