    Braveheart , thank you so much for the Blackpool information I recently swapped my cc vouchers for the circus and eye and hopefully we can now add Tussauds and the dungeons with it , I'm sure you have helped many people have an extra treat :) x

    Well the dates that were unavailable in Blackpool for me last night with the Sun tickets were bookable this evening :think: Don't know how that works, but might be useful to keep checking if you can't get what you're looking for :)


    So pleased....love it when peeps are saving their pennies:)

    It's not coming in the house izzey:rotfl:

    What's on offer in Lidl today? I have promised myself a trip to A as a reward later:rotfl: and might call in. I need tomatoes in various colours sizes and shapes for my panzanella:D

    It's in a field. I'm not riding it or anything. I haven't had my instructions yet but I think I just have to look at it. You will get a picture of him:)

    I remember being told as a child to keep your hand straight when you are giving an apple to a horse so it didn't nibble your fingers. But every time those big yellow nashers came towards you, you had to pull your hand away to stop your arm being crushed in that BIG horses mouth:eek:

    I always just threw the apple in the field and let let them find it. Hide and seek for horses:D

    Yay it worked:)
    Sounds like your still as busy as ever , and your kitchen looked fab x

    Oh thank you.

    I'm debating whether to put up signs for tonight

    1. Use knobs to open kitchen doors to prevent fingerprints.

    2. Dont put red wine glasses down on worktops in case it leaves a ring.

    3. Don't go in my drawers as they are self close and I don't want them to be pushed shut

    4. Don't go in my big unit as I haven't had time to get my spice jars in alphabetical order.

    Other than that .......enjoy yourself but if you have an ounce of decency, stay outside to eat and drink

    Thanks ILTS I'm 39% of the way and I haven't even started training yet, I did go on my first dog walk since before my op yesterday. We did about a quarter of the walk in the same time as the whole walk normally takes....baby steps.

    TM don't you have to muck a horse out when you're looking after it? :rotfl:

    But it's the summer. Surely he will poo in the field?:rotfl:

    Maybe I need to investigate this further:rotfl:

    Anyway I've said yes now. I need to take responsibility and step up to the mark :eek:

    Afternoon all :wave:
    Im on holiday too. We are 8 hours ahead. Might have mentioned it a few times but not many have noticed compared to the others on hols :o
    Going to the airport soon to fetch DD. She lives in Oz and havent seen her since my mum died a year ago. So looking forward to that very much
    DS arrived 2 nights ago but already gone touring to an Island called Penang. Will be back tomorrow, so will be nice for all the family to be together.
    Forgot to mention (jetlag) Flight here was good. Disability assistance by BA was spot on. We were dreading it with OH having to use oxygen in flight. He is using a portable oxygen concetrator now we are here and struggling but managing it as use to continuous flow where as the POC is pulse control. But we made it :D
    Dream come true for him as he thought he would never fly to visit his family again.

    I hope you're having a Fabulous time go cat. I must apologise I did see your comment the other day about you being away. My trouble is I intend to reply to everyone and by the time I've finished reading I've forgotten who said what :rotfl: we have second cousins who live in Penang they went out there about 35 years ago and have lived there ever since.
    How lovely for you to have your children together....have an amazing time.
