    Afternoon everyone.

    Thinking of Sonja, Ian, Lady Liberty and everyone else who was touched by having Sonja in their lives. I hope it's a blaze of purple today :D
    Not much going on here, a morning of busy-ness, to-ing and fro-ing kids to school and then soft play.
    Tea tonight will be baked spud, tuna and salad.
    One load of washing done and hung up, second one gone on. Need to clean bathroom today. !!!!!! empty washing basket will now be full with dirty towels :( It's bloomin' cold here and no wind so no hanging on the line.......

    Hester - :eek: just the thought of the peircings makes me wince and cross my legs :rotfl::rotfl:

    NPM - Hugs, never seems to rain but it pours xx

    Hilstep - Nice to see you posting. Can't believe your GD is 10 months old. Doesn't seem that long ago you posted news of her arrival!!

    In the spirit of Diva love and light to you all x

  • Hello there.
    RIP MSD xxx
    Eating totally to pot. Gah.
    Neighbours burgled yesterday. Police think it's cos the teenage twins are haning around with some unsavoury people & although we are to be careful, he doesn't think anyone else will be targetted.
    After police left discovered baby had raided dvd cabinet & various 18 rated dvds were on the floor.
    DH has finally seen chiropracter about his back. I am most unsympathetic as he manages to ref football matces & ride his bike. Turns out dh has 1 leg slightly longer than the other, flat feet, twisted pelvis & misaligned spine. And exersize helps. Still, not going to give him sympathy or he may milk it ;)
    OS etc gone out the window, dunno whats wrong with me lately.
    My friend once went to a smear test with sparkly bits. She had a bath & used a LUSH bathbomb. Nurse was most impressed at her effort to be sparkly clean!
    Take care all

    any good ideas where to park pls nr to old trafford ?
    Cookie54- sorry I don't drive anymore,so I cant help with parking near Old Trafford,and am not familiar enough with the area.There certainly is a MU fan on here tho'-( think itcould possibly be Julie67,but could be wrong )she might be able to help.

    The shops werent too busy,apart from the one I wanted to get my boots from-loads of kids having their feet measured :rotfl:,but I didnt see any I wanted anyway.

    Glad to see the men have put in an appearance-we missed you:rotfl:

    You won't find anywhere near to Old Trafford. The White City retail park has security to prevent people parking on match days.
    There are various places in Trafford Park that has parking(you will see Lots of people in fluorescent jackets "helping":D Think they charge quite a bit and you will have a bit of a walk.

    If it was me I would park at the Trafford centre(Head for the Debenhams end (J10 M60) then get the 250 bus from the Bus Station. Get a day saver bus ticket. They are two an hour(at least) and stop at the top of Matt Busby way. The return bus stop is next to one of the official M.U. car parks.

    Parking is free at the T.C. and there is plenty of it.
    Have a great trip to Manchester, and don't forget to wave to me!
