    Sounds like you are really wearying for you holiday now - they are always the best ones I think cos you really appreciate them the most!

    I really haven't seen much in the way of flies this year, or come to think of it bees or wasps - thank god! I agree that flies are very dirty - although hoping the kitties (that are growing at an alarming rate!!) will take care of any insect problem I may come across :eek:

    I know what you mean about treating your mum, mine is always so good to us and I try to treat her every now and again, but it's soo hard when you are trying to stick within budget, feel like I am turning into a miserable git with money :rotfl:

    Enjoy the rest of your day, I'm treating the kids to the cinema (well obviously I'm not that miserable!) mainly because dd had to get 2 teeth out yesterday and another one tomorrow and another 5 in about 6 weeks time - all baby teeth, and its so she can get braces in quicker. But lordly lord it's so not fun watching your child getting that kind of work done - bless her, she blethered a load of nonsense but was really brave - roll on tomorrow :(
  • Aww Nonnie your poor girl. I used to work in a dentist for a number of years and always felt really sorry for the kids getting teeth out. We used to do general anaesthetic sessions in those days but so far as I know they are not allowed these days. My DD had to get 2 adult teeth out to get her braces as she was bit rabbit like :rotfl:. Teeth are gorgeous now mind you after 2 years of train tracks. DS could be doing with getting them as well but his oral hygiene is terrible so I am putting that off for now to see what happens. He just has a slightly crossed tooth at the front so it's not a huge deal. I hope you enjoy the pics. WHat are you going to see?

    Skint but optimistic, I am having a chill out day but started looking at houses and then at kitchens :o. My kitchen is about 30 years old and I loathe it. I desperately want a new one but there's no chance for a few years yet. I want white units with a wooden top. I have started listing what features I want and they include, pan drawers,larder cupboard, wine rack and a stretchy tap :rotfl:. I am easy pleased :D.

    Wel b*gger me but DD just called and said her dad is giving her £120 tomorrow for her and DS's uniforms :eek::eek:. I am stunned and will believe it when I see it. He has never as much as bought them a pair of socks in the past. But :j:jif he does this as it will ease my purse strings somewhat :D.

  • okay my dd and my friend have bought lottery tickets for the euromillions tonight and if they win I will get a kitchen :D. DD said she will buy me a house too :D with a downstairs loo :D. I will be in heaven :rotfl:.

    Had pasta and HM cheese sauce with HM chips for tea and OMG it was bl**dy fantastic. Now there's nothing weight watchers about that meal lol.

    I have bananas going off and a bag of apples and one of pears so I am going to look at recipes and see how I can use them up as I seriously do not want to eat them as they are :p. Am away on the hunt to see what I can find. I'll hopefully make you all drool later xx

    I'm thinking good lotto number thoughts for you (well your daughter)! ;)

    Went to see Zookeeper and I must admit it was really funny, kids loved it too, well worth the money. I really like going to the cinema and I'm making the most of the saturday/sunday morning deal at the odeon as much as possible. The film is usually a few months old, you pay £2.50 per child and mum and dad go free!! And the premier seats don't cost a penny more - bargain!! :j

    Anyway hope your enjoying your holiday so far and I'm definitely coming to your house for dessert - sound fab, oh can I have some custard to go with it :D

    Ps Can't wait to hear if dd gets the money from dad, wouldn't that just be amazing, maybe he'll buy you your new kitchen ;)
  • Glad you had a nice time Nonnie. Nothing better than a wee trip to the pics with the kids. I used to go to the Saturday morning shows with my 2 as well when they were younger. It was a great bargain.

    My dd better get the money from her dad as I gave her it today to go to Glasgow for her uniform so I will be stuffed if he doesn't come up with the goods:eek: but I reckon he will as he has stated an amount and knows she will be looking for it. I can only hope that after all these years he is seeing sense. He hasn't seen DS for 4 weeks mind you but I just don't get involved any more.
