    OMG castri well done you but :eek: take it easy today, and please press charges against that nasty ignorant man.

    Not a lot achieved here today apart from pretty good Portuguese lesson :p my accent might be dodgy, and my verb conjugation ropey, but my vocab is improving all the time :D

    Am feeling abs shattered.. Got a little while before I have to do the school run, so am going to sit down with a cuppa :o Will FLY when I get back, honest!

    hugs, spoons and sticks where necessary!

    My arms ache, mt shoulders ache, my back aches and my feet hurt.

    dont walk into town and then buy a collection of different books etc for DS as they hurt when you carry them back with everything else.

    Am pleased to say everyone now has something (and I know I have at least something even though bought myself :o) although I may get the kids some extras when I go to Lincoln tomorrow to meet DS.

    Am just enjoying a brew while I wait for the numbness to wear off then I need to tackle the attic for stuff :eek:.

    Q Has anyone seen a set of recipe cards called "one man with a pan" as would love to get them for DS but dont want to pay deliver on 1 thing from Presents for men.

    Need to find my listS again and get started.


    Aaaaaaahh I could listen to Matt Cardle all day ....................... sorry
