    Awwww thanks :) have your kids broken up yet? I was about to say hope you're enjoying your break but then thought :eek: it might not have started yet! (broke up here on 28th June)

    Ohhhh that would be good!:D

    Do you fancy a trip to the big town? or somewhere else?

    I really fancy a bit of a wander (still not been to Pri*mark!) as starting to feel a bit fed up as I've not been anywhere for ages!

    Nicky & I are really going to have a bit of a wander around here & not really doing much - just catching up really! (fingers crossed the weather stays good) - going to be absolutely heaving as the Golf's on next week!:eek: (didn't realise when I booked the week off - it was just because that week was free!)

    I've nothing on next Fri or Sat if you're free?

    How about Sat?
    Big town ok with me as a sort of halfway point.
    Or can you think of somewhere else?
    There is also a Primari in Dunfermline but too far for you really.
    Will be heaving if golf on.
    All the shops in Gullane are staying open late I believe.

    Yup - everything's been "tarted up" - it's quite amusing actually (bins painted, new signs etc)

    Sat would be good:D - let me know what times work for you for buses

    Oh no :( hope it isn't but I know they were worried about the dodgy tablets that seem to be on the go just now - I also heard they'd been watering the field to try to get it muddy!

    Hi Rising good to hear from you - as the wise lady says, just look after yourself and do what you can do.

    Thanks for the meal planning app, I'll also try that out.

    They break up this Friday coming. However, I've been off sick for the past 3 weeks and am not going back until September :o. Stress got the better of me. I'm feeling lots better though - and more like my old self.

  • thanks Rosa ..... Wannabe sorry to hear you've been under the weather too, please look after yourself and have a lovely, relaxing break


    Plans for today

    Have cleaned big bathroom & downstairs loo ready for visitor arriving - did the kitchen (well most of it!) last night

    Need to hoover badly - but Maisie's really, really moulting and I only did it a couple of days ago & you'd never know

    Seriously thinking of leaving this until Mon night (after Mum's been :eek:) so it's hopefully not too bad by the time Nicky arrives

    Need to have a bit of a tidy ..... then walkies with Maisie later when it cools down - couple of bits of washing to do

    Pacing myself tho' - having a coffee & a bit of a rest atm :o
