Evening everyone,



3FORHOLIDAYS oh it was a good one haha, at first when i saw it was a challenge i thought oh blooming heck who am i meant to do it on, only having the dog for company, so i decided it would have to be after 12 and on my DS, he got a book delivered today from Amazon, and because he was annoyed at having to send the wine kit back, i took the book out carefully opening the end of the box and slipped one of my chick lit in there and put it back on his desk, he came home from work in a bit of a mood, picked the parcel up and brought it into the LR to open, omg his face was puce, 'i dont believe it, they have now sent the wrong ***** book, now i am going to have to send that back, oh fgs cant they get anything right' so DD1 said oh what book was it meant to be? And i pulled the real one out from under the cushion and said 'this one APRIL FOOLS' i think he was rather tickled by it, but he was definitely fooled :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

That's a good one! :rotfl::rotfl:

It was a good idea to pick him as the victim of the joke as after all he did make you play a joke by putting it down as one of your challenges!

That's me! I always do that - the satisfaction of crossing it off again is brilliant and I always figure it would have been on my list in the first place if I'd realised I needed to do it.

JJ & Freespririt [/B - thank you, once the hen party bags go on Saturday I will have a lot more store space I think and will re-jiggle my present stash!! And yes FREESPIRIT it felt really nice that they apperciated it & that it was all useful to them!

Feisty - sending well wishes & hugs your way!

I have read all the way through on what I missed and have now forgotten some of what I read, I think that means it's time for bed! OMO I'm sure we shall get more christmassy as time goes by, especially since we are now in April and have only 266 days to go
I love Christmas but I love summer too!!!

Right off to the land of nod, catch up again soon

Good afternoon lovelies - bit of a mixed bag today. There were tears and tantrums (from me) before leaving for work and then DH said some rather worrying things about how his illness is effecting him and after he dropped that little bombshell I was in no fit state for work I felt terrible for not going into my morning shift, but was too scared/worried to leave him alone after what he said.
I did however manage to get him out with me today for a distraction and I think/hope it has helped.
Today I am tackling the living room ready to put the flat up for sale. I finished the kitchen Sunday and was really pleased with how it turned out

Oh dear FEISTY life is throwing you some blooming curveballs! Just keep strong my lovely, am sending you hugs and thinking of you both, you must be due a break sometime soon!!

CHRISSY have you watched Olympus Has Fallen? similar film about the white house that is good as well, hope DH and DD are feeling better

I got confused it was "Olympus has fallen " that i watched [old age is kicking in !]

Another awful day here ive had to use my inhaler before i even got out of bed today ,i hope this weather doesnt last too much longer.

mrs-moneypenny

morning all
hugs to you Feisty, life is not kind to you and your DH at the mo i hope things even up for you both soon and things start to look brighter.

freespirit/CHRISSY olympus has fallen and whitehouse down, are almost identical films with very similar storylines and were out roughly the same time so its easy to mix them up.

DS2 had a really good birthday yesterday, had friends from school for xbox games pizza and cake, then 2 of his sisters came round for tea one bearing more cake -she makes the most brill cakes this one was a fall out boy one that had a secret hollow compartment in the middle so that when he cut it jelly beans all poured out onto the cake board.

hugs to all that need them and hope the day is kind
