    the question is would either of them ever speak to me again?

    The other problem is that DD1 has only been out of York twice in nearly 4 years.... now we know we hav eto work at this - but I want her in good health for the olympics ( we have spent £600+ on tickets) and i don't want her stressing over a this...

    and DD2 does not like carveries - she doesn't like her meat as meat ( she likes it hidden in sauces) and she doesn't do veg!

    I'd like to get away with not celebrating - OH ruined my birthday last year... but if I can't then I'd like to go to my local pub! But mum is in Stockport and little sis is in Didcot!

    As I said it will require some thought....

    celebrate your birthday with DD (maybe away somewhere nice?) and then say to your family that you will be having a family celebration in YORK and they are welcome to attend if they want :D
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    Not been here for a while. Life has just been hectic, health abysmal, and house.....well :o

    :wave: Hello to everyone old and new.

    Decided my NYR would be to get back on track so made a list out for daily job and also a 6 week rota for the muckier jobs.

    So whilst I might be on a slightly different job list to you all I want to try and pop in every now and then for some inspiration and encouragement.

    Feel free - it's the carvey on the road between Stockport and Manchester - I bet your OH's mother will know it!:D:D

    I think even I may know that one as we may have stayed there last year - you know, when we were the only people that didn't know about the Take That gigs and wondered why we couldn't get anywhere to stay on the Saturday:D

    Heavy duty hotspotting for the rest of the day: just been to see Mission Impossible which was as daft as the previous ones.

    Hello all, Hope you are all well and hugs to all xx
    I have been to college today and see light and the end of the tunnel. Assessors have called for a load of work, including my last assignment......haven't quite finished it yet, and it was supposed to be in today!!! I have given the tutor a draft and she has given me feedback, so not too much to do.

    House is not too bad but had to get up this morning to dry DD a t-shirt and tights for school cause she didn't have any!!!!

    Food in the oven, might have a break from the computer now as my eyes are really starting to hurt...............xx
