Caterina - Lovely hearing about your Irish escapades and such good news that you and OH are communicating well at the moment.

I had a lovely family day today:
1) DS1's 11th birthday.
2) Lovely sunny day for us to spend the afternoon on the beach.
3) DS1 & DS2 have made so many holidaymaker friends and they've been meeting up on the beach each day at the same spot so they can all go body-boarding together.
4) I spent ages swimming in the sea (and the boys even let me play with them and their new friends too!).
5) DS1's choice of takeaway curry and birthday cake for tea.

Hope tomorrow's another lovely day for everyone.

I tried to explain the concept of separating delicate washing from normal stuff to OH last night only to find it was a little too late! My bra looks like it's been eaten by a dog :eek:. trying to get a balance between being cross and not putting him off doing the washing ever again :A

Anyway..........
1 - while online buying a replacement for the indispensable bra I found a lovely bikini in my size much reduced in the sale - roll on the holiday!
2 - waking up early and having a very nice start to the morning
3 - got taken out for lunch yesterday by a colleauge who owns a lovely restaurant, his treat, mmm food was great!
4 - finally watching a film I've had on the shelf for ages - it was great, not sure why I didn't get round to watching it before.
5 - yay it's the weekend

have a great friday everyone!

You have all made my smile and laugh with stories of baby chillies, the one strawberry sagas, bras eaten by dogs and takeaway curry and birthday cake (that's my kinda son :rotfl:)

Keep up the good work folks - hope everyone has a great day.

My five for today
1. Getting rid of more stuff to the charity shop (although felt a bit put out when the lady behind the counter inspected it all before accepting it - I only take in decent stuff and I always wash and iron it before I take it in).
2. Getting big cuddles from my friends puppy.
3. Early birthday pressie from a friend. Chocolate and a good book. She knows me well.
4. Clean car. I spent ages vaccuuming it out yesterday.
5. Going on my holidays tomorrow.
Hope this finds everyone well. Have a good weekend.
