    Froddy hugs for you Mum and for you. Some people share stuff with others and some don't. I'm not a sharer and neither is my sister although we would both share with each other but probably nobody else. It is not a reflection on others, it's just the way some people are. Hope all goes well and try not to be hard on your Mum x

    Thanks Dusty, I won't be hard on her, don't worry.

    I can understand people not wanting to share some things but she has done stuff like not telling me my cousin was ill and in hospital so that the first I knew about anything was when my dad told me she had died. And she didn't tell me about my brother until 5 hours later because she 'didn't want to wake me up'!!

    Anyway, as I said, it's nothing major in the grand scheme of things .........

    And on a positive note - I have a Take That ticket :D :j and a Bon Jovi ticket :D :j and a Levellers ticket :D :j and an Ash ticket :D :j and a Seth Lakeman ticket :D :j

    That'll keep me busy .........

    Night all, sleep well xx

    Evening all

    Had a great meeting at Cas Vegas, even though we were late (thanks to our pc and me getting the time wrong by an hour!) We were a small select group but managed to declutter plenty of coffee and chat :D

    Miss A and W enjoyed a cupcake each with their drinks and were very impressed with the play area which they got to try out. Also managed to get a pair of trianers for each of us at the 'right' price ;) I had trainer flap :rotfl: Miss A and W had outgrown theirs, so a productive day.

    No idea where this week has gone, but it has been a good one.

    Not caught up properly on the thread so hugs to one and all.

    :hello:hi Hex!! Have you read anything by Helen Dunmore? I spotted a set in The Book People catalogue, and haven't heard of her.

    Sorry, not heard of her either. Have you seen the 15% off code on Quidco for £35 plus?

    Dusty - like (and agree with) the new signature.
    Froddington - woohoo on the tickets, and thanks for passing on Soappies message. I was wondering. Toots is quiet too.

    Did far too much yesterday so a bit stiff now. Lots to do this weekend though so rare ibuprofen taking and then onwards and upwards.

    Pick rest of cooking apples, dry or puree and freeze
    Clear last bits from Snug and DR
    Scrub down new BR ready for painting :j
    Clear DS2s new room ready for bunk bed delivery
