    Evening all

    How cold is it today?

    Have been walking and geocaching with friends and doglet and it was bitterly cold despite appropriate clothing incl thermals. Bath required to thaw out.

    Roast chicken and lots of veg for dinner - mmmmm am already thinking about the stock/soup/curry that is to follow.

    WM been on and towels just in the TD.

    Enjoy your evenings!

    Iv read a lot about that geocaching myself and my wife have been thinking of starting it. Looks and sounds fun. We also think it would be good for the twins when they are a bit older.

    Problem with me and my staff is that i dont speak turkish and they hardly understand me!--my brother reckons i need to be a real male dominate to make them respect me--it doesnt sit comfortably with my nature because i actually believe--wait for it girls,,,,,,that females are the the superior!--i think women are more intelligent and make better bosses--i am more into being an equal by coming with what attributes a male has--i can analyse and work out strategies but when it comes to putting them into practice the women have it sussed--Mrs De will determine how my secretary respects me!--Mrs De knows my strengths and appreciates me for my values and in a male chauvneist world like turkey i am at odds!

    Evening all!!

    Had a lovely family day! Went ten pin bowling to celebrate DS1's birthday earlier in the week. Managed to find a BOGOF voucher so not too expensive.

    Quite a mixed gang including my OH (58), DGD (aged 2), DS1 (27), pregnant DiL (26), my Mum (82), & our single male BF (41). Followed by a meal at our local Two for One pub. A good time was had by all!

    Went to Mr T's on way home & picked up a few bargains. Actually planned what we are eating this week which will be a big help now that I'm FT. Don't think I'll ever manage to plan a whole month!! :o

    We're getting quite a gang on FB!! It's becoming quite confusing!! ;) Maybe we should all follow Donny Gal's advice and join the OS group on there & post our user names!

    ((((Hugs)))) to all in need & looking forward to hearing news of the new arrival HH.

    TTFN

    Karen

    whats the group i cant find it?

    Halight - have a look at the geocaching website - you can sign up for free. It's great for kids and I'm sure the twins would love it when they're a bit older - it's like a treasure hunt!!
