    I'm just back from B&Q. Most of my tiles up, just the mosaic tiles behind the washbasin to finish. Went to get some more - the supplier has gone bust!!! No tiles at all. Now going to have to dismantle part of the mosaic to put some other tiles in and hope it doesn't look s**t!

    Don't seem to have stopped all day and feeling utterly pants now.

    Just back from second day at car show. We made friends with other members of the truck owning club and had a good time. V tired now tho, so maybe take away for tea? :o Spends were good tho - 1x ice cream and burger for DH, rest of time cooked for ourselves. For me a £1 key ring and jar of churney for £3.

    Butti-what a pain in the arris!

    Well, had to set my alarm this morning to get up and go on a short motorcycle run on DH new Harley. Was so worth it! He hasn't had a bike I could go on the back of for over 8 years and I really enjoyed myself-it was quite a sight-nearly 30 Harley's all thundering up the road...it was in aid of Help for Heros. All the people in the bike club were so friendly, it was a wonderful time (except for a VERY numb bottom) DH is off for the weekend up to Scotland with them-I would love to go but we haven't got anyone that will have the kids. Oh well.

    It was fab Bun, a really fun wedding :) they had a small ceremony and the reception was a buffet with a mr whippy iceream maker, sweets, balloons which everyone was blowing up and letting go around the room, bubbles, then later on in the night a hog roast, the musicd was 70's 80's fun music :)

    they said they wanted a bouncy castle but health and safety theyt couldn't, adults + alcohol = broken bones lol
