DAILY ST PADDY'S DAY 17 March 07

Sorry Amie forgot during my earlier ramble:

If in these cold climbs, I'm with Smokey with a full English prepared by anyone but me.

If in sunny climbs, then crossants, butter, apricot conserve, orange juice, sat outside in the sun. (goes off into a dream!)

For the students amongst us, or those with students taking exams, I heard the real song thing morning and remembered this from my DS A level times.

I WILL SURVIVE (STUDENT VERSION):
At first I was afraid, I was petrified!
Kept thinking I could never pass with no revision guide,
But then I spent so many nights, getting all the questions wrong,
And I grew strong, and I learned I could scrape along,

I won't look back, to any place,
When I can swallow 15 shots and get completely off my face,
I would have revised by the clock,
I would have had no spare time free,
If I'd thought for just one second my exams would bother me,

So all my notes are on the floor,
Don't even matter... that there's no Play night anymore...
Weren't you the one who tried to get me to revise?
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd work towards the skies?

Oh no, not I! I won't revise!
Unless I die from alcohol, I know I'll stay alive,
Though my money's at an end,
I've my overdraft to spend,
I won't revise, I won't revise!!

It took all the strength I had, not to act the part,
But in the end my real revision didn't even start.
I used to sit at home at night, feeling guilty to myself,
I used to try, But now I hold my head up high,

And you see me!
Somebody new!
I'm not that mixed up weird lass/lad who wants a good 2:2
So if you feel like dropping in,
Chances are that I'll be Free,
Coz I've done ***k all revision, and I'm failing my degree,

Oh no, not I! I >won't revise,
I think that I may scrape a third, but I could be telling lies!
Let the lecturers all scorn,
My bed's far too nice and warm,
I won't revise, I won't revise,
Oh dear!!

Morning! :hello:

Happy Birthday Snoozer! :bdaycake:

Amie - I am loving those photos of Seaworld. Can't believe it will be 7 weeks tomorrow until we fly out there! :j getting all excited now! I was watching shamu last night and think a show was going on, lots of splashing and 3 very co ordinated killer whales whizzing around. I also love the dolphins and the manatees. Seaworld is our favourite park, the staff really know their stuff and are so helpful!

We have cleared half the loft (7 trips to the dump, 6 carrier bags so far to the charity shop, 1 box of books for amazon, 1 ebay box and a bag of bits for freecycle, 1 large box of memories for archiving/scrapbooking) and in amongst the memories I found a couple of cassette tapes of our children taped at age 4 singing nursery rhymes (so sweet) ds particularily as I had forgotten he had a lisp;) he is now 29
Due to illness (incl depression) the loft has been ignored for far too long as it is a very emotional job sorting out not just our childrens stuff but also our parents :sad: Really feel proud of us both with this achievement!

PP - Good luck for your dd at the audition!

My favourite breakfast was one I had in America - Sausagemeat pattie on american pancakes with butter and maplesyrup! Yum! Todays breakfast was a banana and a pear! Weigh in on Monday!

Have a lovely day!

math... how did you get on in Boots ?

TBH I don't go all out to grab extra points or miss-prices like some Mavericks on the Grabbit board, occasionally I use a Grabbit Tip but I'm always worried I'm gonna be made a show of at the tills :rotfl: . I use my Pigsback Vouchers to buy all the stuff I know we will use, if I had to pay with 'hard-cash' I wouldn't touch Boots with a barge pole. LOL And even using vouchers is goes against the grain to pay Boots full price for certain products.

Yesterday I got:

10 Shower Gels (Bogof)
10 Roll-on Deodrants (Usually try to get BOGOF but no deals available)
10 Toothpaste (Usually try to get BOGOF but no deals)
1 Spray Tan (half price) user will rename annon:rolleyes: (Only get when on a deal)
1 Cuticle Cream (expensive IMO at £5 but we needed it)
1 Packet of Plasters
1 Packet of Paracetamol (other pain relief is available:D )
1 Face Cream
1 Lip Salve

Others I'm sure do a much better haul LOL

I well remember that breakfast buffet! We couldn't get over what some folk had on their plates, Mountains of pancakes, sausage patties, bacon, eggs and all topped off with jello and squirty cream! :eek: Wonder what our dd will make of it all as it is her first trip out there this year and she is 23 and very slim!

Hope your Mum has a lovely time! We are there from the 6th for 18 days. We couldn't get the week of our anniversary! Last year we celebrated 30 years with a wonderful meal on a schooner at Gaylord Palms!

I have decided we will go on a holiday to America - I can never normally warrant spending so much on a hol, but we are good ms'ers and we only live once. How soon can you book for 2009?? Whats the best way to do it - Virgin look good - and I'm a bit worried about the new visa/passport things (i will need a new one!)

Ooh, yes, after watching those whales in the tank - I must bite the bullet and go for it - now Amie - you really will be making me spend money!!!!

off the tell the Dh of my plans xx - wonder if it will go down well!
