Ahh I would but I need him to drive me to the airport and i'm not allowed to travel by myself with all my medical stuff . . . pfft he has no choice anyway, I book all the holidays so he'll go where I tell him :rotfl:
Talking of medical stuff, went to my appt and the lady confirmed what I already knew, that my knee pain is nowt to do with lack of movement and all to do with my condition, my doc should never have referred me to a physio and I am NOT to do any exercises as it'll just make everything worse!!
I am not a happy bunny as I was done out of my meal out :eek: DS's xbox was turning up to day and they picked right in the middle of the day to deliver it . . . so no lunch for me, but DH has been told he's taking me tomorrow night for dinner with the kids!
Now Sue, you know you'd be mighty lonely if I wasn't here telling you all my life story! I'm like a one woman soap opera (with better acting and more interesting storylines)
DH is currently watching Lara Croft's bum and is blissfully happy though he did manage to get himself stuck by falling off a cliff in the first 30 seconds . . . this is normally when I hear 'jakesmummmmmmmmmm i'm stuckkkkkkk, come help meeeeeee' and I struggle with the internal battle that is a) go help and show him up and then rub it in that i'm better than him, or b) don't help and sit laughing at him while he swears at lara for not doing what he wants her to do :rotfl:
Anyway, to keep Sue happy . . . 94p in the pot today after a post office trip
EDIT: Oooo forgot to say, with all this freezing gales, we had SNOW!! we never have snow! Everyone else in the country has to be nearly buried in the stuff for us to even get a sniff of the stuff, but we def had snow, the school even sent out their weather email!SPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £225/£10000 -

Potting-wise,when I get off this very deep,comfortable sofa,I will be potting £4.88,the change from buying ingredients for tea tonight.
Best laid plans 'n' all o' that.What actually happened was,I wasn't quick enough to pot last night.The coins were sitting on the kitchen bench this morning when 4 kids each needed a £1 coin for Children in Need dress-up day at school.
In other news today,the tooth fairy forgot to visit my 6yo :eek:.I think that she was was so busy sewing bits for the Children in Need dressing up day,she forgot to do her rounds :rotfl:.(6yo had actually asked for the TF to write back-I told her maybe the TF had forgotten to bring a pen,so has to come back another night.)
Is it bad that this is the SECOND time in 13 years that TF has forgotten to visit one of my kids.
Potting news....potting news....must think of something.Well,I could pot the 88p that wasn't purloined this morning.Might also add the 11p change I got from buying the kids their after-school-on-Friday treat.SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76

It sounds a perfect weekend to me, Kerry, I bet you'll thoroughly enjoy the play with many a laugh too going by the TV version. Good luck with the cash finding!
Ok beccah, you're Target's updated, all the best with it.
