    Well our leccy has been off since 9 this morning and back on again at 5. So we went to Portrush and had a walk across the beach, kids loved it and Rhys refused to go in the pram (he walked maybe 2 miles today), so should sleep well tonight. :rotfl:

    Only plan tonight is sorting school stuff for tomorrow and getting an early night. :D

    Happy Birthday Furball. :bdaycake:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Anyone else notice that the date at the top still says the 14th?

    No flying, but decluttered a shedload of coursework. Zero energy left today.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    cat_smith So glad you got the outcome you wanted :):j must be a weight off your mind for you and DH :) Hope your blip doesnt last too long and you're back on track soon.


    Right, someone stop me calling the curry house - I CBA and I should be making chicken pie.
    I've got a cold coming and so does DH and he says a nice hot curry will sweat it out :)
    Personally I think he doesnt wanna mess up the kitchen as he cleaned most of it :rotfl::rotfl:

    pigpen some of us can't work out what month it is, never mind the day of the week.

    Hope today was an improvement for you and vanilla

    Be proud, I hadn't heard of a mule before Xmas. Fluffy mule thrown today resulted in serious flying. Packing ongoing.

    Thankyou for all the birthday wishes :beer:
    Not much flying done today. DW and WMx1. Had GC and took them to see DMum at care home which she loved. Babysitting for a short time tonight whilst DD1 and Dson in law to go see vicar about their wedding in July. :T
    Lots of chocs and cards and a lovely teddy dog from DD2.
    Having hair done on Saturday, going blonde again as don't feel like me with dark hair. (feel old and drab and unsexy). :o I have only been dark for 3 years my whole life, managed 5 months this time:)
    Costing a lot but i used to be a hairdresser and have made some ghastly diy mistakes thankfully only on me. (why don't hairdressers take their own advice):D So i am splashing out at my fab hairdressers, only go 3 or 4 times a year and as the ad says I'm worth it:rotfl:At least it will be just as i like it. Going for the Joanna Lumley look ( NO not PATSY) as it's a shorter version of what i used to have and she looks great with it at her age, i'm 20 years younger so should get away with it. :)
    Hugs and spoons and sticks, hope you are ok pigpen and Vanilla Hugs for Helen Jelly, poohbear and Catsmith extra hugs if i have missed anyone.xxx catch you all later off babysitting x

    I know.. I am one of them.. ask OH every week what date it is for putting up the thread I have got the year wrong on occasion. It took me 20 minutes to work out my age the other day and I can never remember my name!
