  • Have a wonderful time Nanamia! :)
    Hobnobs are like marines
  • Nana I hope you have an amazing time again! And if you could manage to pop some sunshine in your case when your heading back to Blighty again it would be very much appreciated!

    Been a very busy bee past few days - had my first pamper party (8 pre-prom night girlies) and did 4 massages today!
    I cant believe the change a few weeks can bring, word of mouth is starting to spread & my diary is looking full! And my xmas budget is looking healthier! Grabbed a few more amazon bargains this week, paint a rubber duck kit for £3 (dd(5) is crazy on ducks!) a sock monkey kit for dd(12) for £2! and a few bits for hampers! Also treated myself to a fimo starter kit, going to try my hand at making some cute decs for xmas tree (dh has promised me a real one for my bday again!).

    Going to catch up on here tomorrow, just wanted to say hi & hope all well xx

    OMO how did it go? x

    It went well and She enjoyed herself. :D
    She wanted Robbie to see her go in, but it all went wrong and I didn't even get there. I was just putting him in the pram to walk round to watch her when he throw up everywhere. By the time I had cleaned him and the buggy it was too late. :(

    He also wouldn't stay still long enough for me to get a picture of them together.
    So really it would have been better had I not got him after work.

    In the official picture the photographer asked her to duck slightly and she bent instead, so her bra strap is showing. But I told her it didn't matter. You can only see it if you are close up.

    I am just glad it is over. :D Life is back to normal.

    It has been a real up and down day today.
    The camper has a leak :mad: it's bad :mad:
    I was close to tears. :( it really isn't worth spending the money trying to mend it. It has been a bottomless pit. :(

    So I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself and trying to work out what to do with all our camping gear, when ds ( yes ds) said ' let's get a tent ! Just pick sites that have a fishing lake, and me and Smithy ( one of his oldest friends) will come and build it ! '
    Yes DS said that :eek: he does love camping !!!

    So I am looking at 4 bedroom tents. :T am going to wait until the end of the summer to get one in the sale. But I can look now :D

    I am a bit :eek: I have never been in a tent. I don't really know what you need. I have all the basics but its the hitch-up ( electrics) that is worrying me. But it can't be that hard. Thousands of people do it every year.

    It will be an adventure. Got to go now .The tent window shopping is calling me.:rotfl:
