Happy B'day Molly
WS, lol, kids, my oldest son, when he was 5 asked me at the supermarket checkout whether Uncle Barry was a real uncle like Uncle Steve, or just a pretend one. The lady on the checkout looked at me & said 'Get out of that' I explained that Uncle Barry was daddy's best friend from school, so not a real uncle, whereas Uncle Steve was daddy's brother. He made it sound as though I had lots of stray men around who were 'uncles'.
Thanks for the advice re storage bags, I'm off to hunt some down now.
Hugs Hester

Thank you for all your kind greetings. Im having a lovely day:T:T:T
The OS bit is that we have just had a very tasty lunch at home that hardly cost a bean (well one or two beans as they were out of the garden).
I have my new sewing machine to play with later and feel very blessed with my lovely children and husband xI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0 -
Happy birthday Molly!!!
enjoy your new sewing machine!
Had a lovely day with the work kids at the seasideback in the office for a bit of admin before the end of the day.
Skype chat with friend planned for when I get home, then dinner from the freezer - either curry, fajitas or veggie hotdogs - can't decide which yet!
My mum rung to say the letter for my MRI scan has come already, it's on Sept 4th so not long to go.
Have a good evening all

HH - I suspect that little bear has only just started warming up with the embarassment front - and he has a whole raft of courtesy aunts and uncles so goodness only knows what he will come out with next!
Bargainbird - chocolate museum in York. It's only just opened, it's in Kings Square, and if we ever get there then I will post a review!
Off to make a mess of tea.Ankh Morpork Sunshine Sanctuary for Sick Dragons - don't let my flame go out!0 -
Evening all:j:j
Not long got back. We have had a great day out. We even took the girls On the narrow boat though the Dudley tunnel and into the lime stone caves. You have to pay extra for this as its not really of the museum But you can enter The canal from there. The girls loved being down there in the dark. they also loved the old fair they have there. Its been about 6-7 years sine the last time my wife and I went. And there were new things there for us to see.
The weather turned out hot and sunny for us this afternoon, which was great.
Anyway we all had a great time:j:j
Enjoy your evening everyone:j:j:jYou can have everything you wont in lfe, If you only help enough other people to get what they wont.:j0
