I'm staying in because my babysitter is out babysitting so DS1 can go get leathered in the pub across the road from my house!
Louisa just started working in Zest.. they have the chef there from Lattitude and are doing fabulosa grub from a new menu.. should you need to check it out..
I have never had gin.
I also need to ebay like the Queen of Ebayland!

Well I am sitting here with a nice mug full of hot black coffee. I had to give up alcohol at 18 when I was diagnosed with epilepsy. Since then had the occasional glass of wine but tbh have not had any alcohol now for well over two years and don't intend to again.
I do not miss it in the slightest. Varying reasons but a big reason is I just don't like it! :rotfl:
I tell you what is nice tho.. diet coke and orange juice, mixed together, called a 'Muddy Water' round here and is one of my faves when I am out, although a lot of bars don't like to serve it as it looks like off beer.
I am home from my GodD's 9th Birthday party, the MP3 player was a massive hit and she spent all night dancing round to green day and lilly allen in her new Hello Kitty Pjs, yes it was as odd as it sounds. :rotfl:
The anxiety level is rising here now as its only 4 more sleeps till i get my operation. :eek: I keep having pains too so am scared that it might flare up and they won't operate. It has been such a long long wait for this.
Need to study and work on a list of Jobs to do before op and am going to focus on these next week rather than following the flying list but I hope you don't mind if I still tag along as I need you guys and gals to keep me motivated and sane. I will only be about Mon/Tues and maybe a post early Weds morning before I go to the hospital altho I cannot see my getting a lot of sleep Tues night.
Eeeeeek I am so scared already think it is because we were talking about it tonight (My cousin and I) we decided not to tell my GodD as she is very attached to me and would only get upset. :shhh:Although I made sure I got super hugs and kisses tonight before she went to bed.
Ok, time to go make my list and get another :coffee: to keep myself occupied :hello:

Shysarah like I said you will be fine, most flare ups don't mean they won't operate, only when severely infected. They've just refused to take my Dad's out even if he got septicemia due to his other health issues, even if the sepcis nearly killed him
so chin up and get it done 
Right that's it I quit until Monday, I've done all I am doing on that bloody website until Monday. Tomorrow I am not touching it as I have spent 12 hours on it. I have a feeling someone will be really picky with it, they will probably get told to do better themselves. Tomorrow I will spend more time with my boys, even if it's sorting their rooms. Daddy offered us dinner out, his treat if we get them finished. Yes Daddy will be helping too as his club isn't on tomorrow
TFFT!!!
Tipples....well for someone who drinks rarely I do have some pretty evil favourites
Archers mixed with blue WKD....or lemonade
G & T but I can't stand slimline T bleurgh
Cocktails - oh I can drink most of those nomnom. My specials are tiamaria and baileys because it's yum and this one - equal tequilla, vodka, blue curacco then add lime and lemonade to taste (good stuff!)
Pink kangaroo, reminds me of my youth
FLAT hand pulled cider, not easy to get but mmmm
Hate - lager (used to drink it and no idea why) pernod (urgh anniseed!!) port (just can't get away with it)
I am going out on Friday
and now I know my top is at the post office, postie told me today so will have to hope it fits when I get it on Monday. Could be a rather messy night especially after what will be a very stressful Monday & Tuesday! I hope he does Amarillo 
Boys have actually done more than I thought they would. We're wanting to put them both in the same room so need it sorting. DS2s been the most helpful, even helping DS1 with his who is a right **** for cleaning up. I am HOPING DS2 will be the tidy influence he needs. We are giving them a sleeping room with clothes in and maybe some books and a desk then a play room seperate which is DS1s room as that is the biggest. Main reason is actually to clear out some of their toys when we do it!One day I might be more organised...........

Knew it was too good to be true
thought the kids had done as I asked, clothes in cupboard that were clean (not even needing to hang up) and dirty in the bath (knew there would be a lot and linen basket was downstairs full.... Looks like the whole lot is in the bath as it is overflowing .... Now the stinky and the clean that had been pulled out of the wardrobe will need a wash as it'll all be stinky! Oh well at least it's all off the floor. DS1 just said DS2 did all the clothes (no surprise there) and didn't know what was clean and not..... Which I suppose is fair comment. There is some stuff I know DS1 hasn't had on since the summer! DS2s cubs top he lost is in there which is good, wonder if his pe one is too....At a guess 6 washer loads, guess what I am doing tomorrow. Another good reason for one room with clothes so they have less space to mess up and only in one room! I need to get them a new laundry basket just for their room ... If I get a 2 section, or two separate ones DS2 will seperate them as he enjoys doing that
One day I might be more organised...........

Morning All
I've already been up for over an hour as i woke up at 3.30 and couldn't get back to sleep!
Quite a bit to do today really - starting with the LR - I haven't done much this week as DH has been off and I've been at work so he should have done it but although he's done some bits there's still loads to be done.
Going to have a quick tidy up of the LR now and then I might go back to bed and see if I can go back to sleep for another hour. Only thing I've done so far is look at a mag and put a load of washing on.
Have a good day all
Hugs

Brilliant! Best thing Simon Pegg's ever done IMHO and mucho pointing and ooo look its.......
Or like me and DH "you know, the one out of that thing with .......... you know .......... in it. It was set ......... you know where .........."
a perfect martini should be made by "filling a glass with gin then waving it in the general direction of Italy,"
Love it :T
Good morning everyone :beer: This post is brought to you from the comfort of my cosy bed, where I have a large pot of tea :beer:
We watched Priceless on DVD last night (me and 3 teens, all of whom have GCSE French). Loosely based on Breakfast at Tiffany's and hilarious :T We also had a take away curry as a treat
Going to sweep more leaves today, and possibly mow the lawn :j
Off for a list, then I'll get out of bed and make more tea :beer:
