    I'm drinking wine.

    Wine that I didn't go and buy.

    DH, with the aid of 2 sticks and DD1 for support managed to get to the corner shop....first time he's been able to do that for 9 months.....took him ages and lots of sitting on walls and wobbles but that's a huge step for him. (the corner shop is 7 houses up the road)

    He's now fit for nothing but I'm very proud of him.

    So proud, I'm letting him watch cricket!

    Pooky, that is brill!! What an achievement - though I am not surprised he's knackered now!
    Me too. :o Could do with some food though.

    Oooh, Bookie, we have that covered! Tonight we are having our own version of Come Dine With Me. We are each cooking a course - Mum's doing the starter, I've got the main and hubby's doing dessert! We will score each other at the end....though I reckon we'll all mark each other 10 out of 10!!! :rotfl:
