    morning, well done on the no-sickness front, ChrissyG, go you.
    This morning my ribs are aching, l laughed so much yesterday. When she tried on the outfit before the 'garment' there was a 3-4'' gap at the back zip, in the booosum area. Tried on the first one, mucho pulling twisting omg's breathing ins and such, gap reduced to 1-11/2'' mucho congratulations and then tried to get the damm thing off. Next one on, and with even more heave-ho as it was smaller size, got the zip up!!!!! so, cant breathe laugh sneeze eat or sit down quickly, at least it can be worn. In truth, it fits beautifully everywhere else, its just her frontage is humungous. Now, the question is, do l put the video on u tube,-- or not.
    Didn't get the freezer defrosted as there was enough dampnosity about already.
    Now, calm note, DGS has gone to Beamish with the summer school today, he is very excited about it as it is years since he was there.

    boo! just got a delivery of some more xmas craft paper/supplies and thought oh not been on here for ages! so thought i'd come say hi :D

    Our craft shop has had 50% off sale on everything recently... grabbed lots of packs of Spectrum Noir pens for dd2 for £3 each.. brill bargain for those who use them. Some stamps for me and some craft paper bits.. Not been doing much crafting lately as been busy with the girls finishing/starting school and awards evenings. Got lots of ideas though and hope to get making again soon :D

    Dh has hinted he'd love the new batman lego tumbler thats due for release in september for christmas... the big kid! its showing as £159 on lego site atm so hoping to get it a bit cheaper than that.

    Shall try to pop in more often.. can't promise while kids are on summer hols though!

    what did you think of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

    It's a great show. I agree with Ruth_Honey - the kids are great!
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

    Hello just to let you know I'm still alive. Still running backwards and forwards and getting nowhere. Hopefully he should be home this week.
    I promise I will be back properly when it has calmed down here.

    Hope everyone is well. I will never be able to catch up with what is going on.

    The cv pot is at £1902.50 in cash ( £2902.50 total, as my lovely Dad is donating £1000 when we find one) :D

    I'll be back soon ( promise) :o
