Mrsgigglewick Love the hat. It's very snazzy!

Nanamia Hope you are feeling better today. Lots of people are catching bugs at the moment - a few of my colleagues have been off sick recently.

B_e_g I love the tree! It is so pretty.

The fish are currently very active up at the top of the pond - this mild weather is confusing them!

He really was excellent SFAM xxx
My son from another Mum is doing so well He hired an apartment in Manchester City centre for himself and his lovely girlfriend for valentines weekend, booked the finest meals etc and tickets for the comedy store. The photos looked fab, it's wonderful to see him having such a time, enjoying life As it should be xxx
Hope DD1 get answers from the HA pretty quick! They are so cheeky!
Night night xxx

Ruth_honey - That is so true what's on paper really doesn't matter, especially when it's just stupid little things. He may be the same height and younger than me, but he's definitely more of a proper grown up, another thing which usually sends me packing, but this time I don't want to. I don't think I've turned into a proper grown up at all, I just quite like him lol.
freespirit66 - I am a very happy bunny
Nanamia - Firstly I hope your feeling better! ...and to keep you amused details well brief summery more like... we went to my favourite tea shop (Boston Tea Party, they are a chain I think amazing place if you like tea, or for breakfasts!! I tend to go there on my birthday ), then we went to watch a film. Then I went to his last night for dinner, first time a guy has ever properly cooked for me! He made chilli it was really good! and we watched some films, and I ended up staying over, nothing untoward happened before anyone gets that idea :P. He brought me a cupcake from work too it has bacon on it! I've not eaten it yet, we forgot about them last night so I've brought it home with me, I'll let you know what bacon on cake is like lol. It was a really nice evening, he's going abroad for 2 weeks now though which sucks! At about this point in dating I get really paranoid, so this could be an interesting couple of weeks


We've decided that this Christmas is going to be the year of the book... WHSmiths keep giving us till vouchers £5 off if you spend £12/£15 and they have a selection of nice hard back books £5 each 2 of the smiths near me had rubbish selection, but the tiniest little one that I usually think it's a waste of time going to has a brilliant selection! My mums got a Covent garden soup a day book for me, and Delia's christmas for gran, we're off to get another couple today . Also have a 20% off till voucher so I might get a new sketch book... maybe...

Oh PIXTOTTS your date sounded lovely, i hope this one works out for you x

Happy house-hunting :j
So pleased you enjoyed your hols. :T

Visit to dentist not too bad. What a job they had getting the temporary crown off :eek: Hope the permanent one is as strong.

Haven't got a stitchy project on the go atm - DH just framed last stitch which was a xmas pressie from DS (pic below). Tried knitting last night - just a plain square - started off with 30 stitches and ended up with 29 :rotfl: (don't know whether its for me). Will have to investigate how to cast it off now.
