    Didn't go to the cinema in the end, we decided to leave it til wednesday as decided to go for the stick it in the back of the car option with the washing machine so my lovely bloke ended up carrying and setting up:o That along with the icy cold made staying in with a takeaway, dvd and a bottle of wine a much more attractive option :D

    They are indeed teapot, but then again cheaper than buying cakes...

    I have just read through all your diary over the last few days after my LBM- it is really inspiring how hard everyone is working at this and what great achievements they have made.

    I am from Ayrshire originally (but live in England these days) so the Millport photo made me laugh. When we go to visit my parents in the summer we always do a day trip there and last year it was actually scorching and we did have a day of paddling and playing in the sea:j This year will probably be thermals as usual;)

    I have started my own diary now to try and keep me on track for this journey- onwards and downwards!:)

    M&S do very tasty dark choc and ginger biscuits but again not very mse but v tasty...

    Oh dear thanks for reading fothers - it is mainly drivel but the thought of having to confess here keeps me on the straight and narrow(ish):D. Good luck with your journey and I shall pop in and visit your diary. There are probably lots of folk thinking of Millport as a holiday possibility now... Arran is looking gorgeous at the moment but I really feel for folks over there, hope everything is sorted soon.

    I was saw reports about Arran on the news down here so it must be bad! We have had a lot of snow since Saturday but not quite that drastic thankfully. My mum was very happy about them having none and they are just inland from Largs but when I spoke to her this morning she said a blizzard had just started.

    I can't wait for summer, or even spring...

    We've had a few flurries of snow here today but nothing lying and I was at home all day with no heating on and didn't freeze;). I am proud to announce I'm finished all the stuff that needs handing in for college:j:j:j :jcan't say that it's top quality but I tried...

    DS is away with the school so I'm off out to the cinema tonight and as I'm being treated (orange Wednesday sensible bloke;)) I can declare today a NSD! Bizarre meals in order to use things up but still good - devilled mushrooms on toast for lunch and baked pot with cheese and whatever else I find:D
