    Of a certain age I love it :)

    The weather is better than forecast at the moment but the wind is certainly picking up have lots of things to do that have been neglected whilst the littlies were off school but need doing before the end of the month and as Monday has two meetings already need to do some over the weekend.

    The little ones seem better although foster child's mother decided to take him back to the doctors and in fact wanted to take him to casualty because she thought he wasn't well (which translated meant she had had enough of him and wanted me to have him back but as I was in the "pictures" at the time this wasn't possible) needless to say the doctors said he was fine but she still managed to use that as an excuse to return him 45 minutes early :mad:

    First lie in today for ages as contact no longer takes place on a Saturday so we can have a nice family weekend :D

    Getting slightly concerned about Christmas as I only have one present so far I blame it on Mr. T's I am waiting for the double voucher event to see which categories are included and then do my presents accordingly as I have a lot of vouchers :D so I wish they would get a move on :(
    I will feel so much better when the pressies are sorted.

    Cappuccino calls and a skim round the threads have a good day folks.

    Forgot to say just logged on to internet banking balance looks fab :D:D pity it has to last 6 months and pity I can't actually pay off cards today ;) this previously has promoted a phonecall from the bank saying we notice that you have a large balance on the account would you like to come and see us about investing blah de blah always got the same answer its all accounted for they have given up now think they finally got the message :rotfl::rotfl:

    We always say we're going to "the pictures" - and in fact my DS and his friends all use the same expression.

    Foster child's mother seems to be doing an awful lot to 'not' look after him.

    Here's another one waiting to see what the voucher exchange will be.
    Have a good weekend, did you watch quali for India?

    We always said cinema. My Grandad was Irish and used to say 'fill-um' for film. I took the mickey out of him endlessly as a child. No wonder he used to tell me my cooking was crud - he was getting his own back bless him!!!
    One step at a time ;)

    I am incommunicado at the moment so that I don't accidentally hear the result:D

    Don't give OH any ideas he is likely to include an F1 car into his next sermon he is known for he is odd talks especially when he goes into school but has been known to slip in the odd curved ball in church too :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thankfully he is safely ;) engaged in Sunday School with me today and I am the boss there (other than God of course:)) so he has to do what I say although he does have a good story to tell today that I found of a little old lady that's not afraid of anything which should suit his style perfectly :T

    That sounds lovely! I have *very* fond memories of colouring stencils of Bible stories when I was tiny, but otherwise I was bored to death .... they kept telling us the same stories over and over again ...

    Ooh! You know that actor that I swooooooooooon over, Michael Shanks? He's in a Christmas movie thats just being released that has Christian websites in the States jumping up and down for joy:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1895321/ its probably way too saccharine for your tastes but here's the trailer on youtube
