    Hi all,

    Thank you for all my birthday wishes.
    We have had a lovely day!:T
    Waiting for DD I got talking to a guy, and when he found out it was our birthday he wanted to know what we were doing. Turned out he worked in the local Blue Reef aquarium. We went along after a lovely lunch and asked for Dave. The lady on the desk said "Oh yes, he said you were coming" Stamped our hands, and we went in for free!:T Saved about £40 in all! SIL loves tropical fish. The seahorses were lovely, and so were my favourite rays. Then we took DGD on the machines and fairground rides. The sun shone all day (windy though), and when I got home there were flowers from OH who is coming over tonight as well.:j

    All in all, a fab day. I am so blessed!:D
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T

    Happy Birthday Hilly x
    Sorry things are tough Topsy x
    I 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.

    Happy Birthday Hilstep, sounds like you have had a good day!

    Hugs to everyone, good to see you Bitsy, the house selling thing is so slow isn't it?

    Busy day here but did manage to clean the downstairs bathroom. Laptop connection playing up - very frustrating!

    Take care. XX

    animated-smileys-birthday-037.gifHappy birthday Hilly, glad that you have had a great day and happy birthday for your DGD as well, now that is what I call a birthday present animated-smileys-babies-010.gif

    Had a busy day, first had to go for a fasting blood test, then podiatrist this afternoon. The podiatrist was lovely, but has told me that I have something wrong with the joint in my big toe and I will have to go to have that sorted at the hospital, added to that both big toe nails are ingrown and need to be removed and the nail bed will be killed so that the nails will never grow back, the catch is that is done under local anesthetic _pale_:eek:

    Still that is nothing in comparison to what my poor niece is going through, she started chemo today :(

    Bitsy, lovely to see you, house selling is a real pain, but it will come right in the end x

    Topsy Sorry to hear that things are not too good for you. BIG ((((((((Hugs))))))) are on their way to you x

    Ruby, I hope that your Dad is on the mend x
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    Yesterdays problem from MIL is playing on my mind big time, so not a lot of sleep was had last night! Very busy day at work, ward has had a D&V outbreak since Tuesday and nobody has notified anyone, so have had a day of it with infection control team etc, and I uttered a few choice words about the staff who have been working!!!!
    Bedtime for me, only working till 2 tomorrow then off for 3 days!!!
    RIP Iain
