    Great northern meet, next Friday @WLD for anyone interested. BQ & Ellie if you're reading. I'm going and our good friend who we're not allowed to mention will be there too:j

    Whereabouts?

    We have a run away builder but I doubt that we will be able to round him up before next week ...

    Yes technically I am manning the night shift solo but I am disappearing in a minute - too many vexing things going on this evening ....

    Just about to sent eldest son a text. I've been holding out to see how long it is before he could be bothered to message or text us - so far its been three weeks :eek:

    Sons are a horrible species

    eldest sons GF is away this weekend - it will be interesting to see, as he will be at a loose end, if he decides to stay on base this weekend or finds time to ring us ...

    Today is one of our major calendar days - 6 years since eldest son took his oath of allegiance and officially joined the army

    Morning :)

    Only 350 mls size bottles

    https://groceries.asda.com/promotion/2-for-1600/ls87282

    Best buy would be the Jameson Irish Whiskey £24.00 v £20.00 Sainsbobs

    (the 700 mls bottle of Jameson is £18 in Asda, Waities and Morries so 2 Jameson would be quite a good buy).

    Russian Standard Vodka £19 v Tesco £16

    Three Barrels £18.96 v Waities £16.00
