Hope he is ok Angela and hope your feet didnt hurt too much. I can sympathise with the shoes as I usually only wear trainers and my OH cant understand why I moan if we are going out somewhere where I have to dress up and then he decides we are not going in the car - meaning I have to walk a distance in the shoes. End up half crippled by end of the evening.

sorry to hear youve been going through so much angela, i hope they've now found out what is up with your dad and he's starting to recover and can soon be back home.

Sorry to hear about your dad Angela, hope they have found out the problem and can get it sorted pdq.

By chance looked at the Grabbit board today. These 2 might be relevant.
1st- if you have anyone on your list who loves car cleaning (that counts me out completely!!) Halfords have a great deal on triple wax shampoo works out £1.33 per bottle!!:

Anglea -So sorry that Dad isn't well, big hugs and hers to the road to recovery.

Ruufus- The bag is beautiful, def agree re shoes, I am a trainer girl r crocs, if I wore heels i'd be flat on the floor - despite the days when 4in stiletos never came off the feet.

Susan 4lbs is brilliant.

Had a really good weekend, thou was memorable for a few events..

1st ngt - Dads about to take the dog, the caravan door wasn't on the latch, flew back and belted him in nose... we though he had broke it, just bruising

Sat daytime - I had an allergy attack... think it the Chicken Tikka had at dinnertime, it took about 2 hrs to come as an attack, could be anything

Bar that, it was a lovely weekend, had lovely weather, Mothers Day we spent at a local farm, thou never seen her move so fast when during the meet the animals - the lad brought a snake out.. Miss Hoodie got to bottle feed a lamb.

Very mse - Money off vouchers for Ripleys, went to the pub for lunch, the barman forgot to charge us for the drinks, on Sunday, - free entry for me and nanny Hoodie - mothers day...

Even went to McDonalds in my Pjs... luxury.

Even a nice trip home yesterday, stopped at our fav Icecream farm...

You can tell it back to reality - dentist tomorrow! x

Thinking of my charity boxes! In Wilkinsons today the small toys are 3 for 2 so I got wooden yoyos and cute wooden caterpillars. They look a bit like the "Hungry Caterpillar" as you can twist the segments to give them a loopy back. Perfectly fine for 66 pence each! there were also wooden buses & taxis... other things... not so nice!
Nothing to do with presents- they had 25% off selected wallpaper (except lining paper and something else) Also 25% off selected Dulux & own brand paint.

Have been a bit busy what with one thing and another going on in my family so not had time to post or anything but I am still reading and hope everyone is well. Will be back soon xx

Katiehound

Wondered why it was so quiet!

Early happy Easter everyone-
seems strange as all the school children I know (of) around the country seem to be having pre-Easter hols and then straight back to school after the BH Monday.

Hope we get some nice weather..........
