    Thanks guys, I have messaged my friends back ;).

    So I was going to have a lie in this morning as today is basically my only day off with the competition tomorrow.... the skip men turned up for my neighbours skip early :mad:. I don't think I'm destined for sleep sometimes haha!!

    DH and DD have gone to the tournament and I'm thinking il get DD2 out for some fresh air otherwise she will end up stir crazy. Just waiting for my washer to finish for the all important pegging out :D.
    By the way haven't we had such a good spell of nice weather! Long may it continue... through the day, no ones got time for sweaty night times haha!!!

    Happy Saturday all xx

    Afternoon Diary,

    Wow Thursday already, I just do not know where these weeks go.

    DD2 is away on a residential until tomorrow and the house is very quiet without her. DD1 keeps herself to herself in her room mainly but DD2 is always around us so it does feel strange without her here. That said the peace is nice :rotfl:.
    DD1 and I called at the local ice cream parlour for a latte and an ice cream tonight. She's been really grumpy last couple of days so she seemed much brighter when I suggested we go there.

    Im booked into spinning tonight but I think I'm going to cancel. I feel so drained at the moment and I've got a busy evening tomorrow so feel like I need some down time. Haven't fully decided yet as I do feel guilty about it.

    Thats about all really. Hope all ok xx

    That's nice to take DD1 for icecream and latte. She's probably got something she's worried about which is making her moody (school politics or something), but it's hard to get them to confide sometimes, plus it may seem trivial to us.

    DD2 will soon be home :). Probably a good idea to skip spinning if you're feeling drained.

    Afternoon Diary,

    Happy Saturday all!!!

    I did cancel my spinning class on Thursday and felt better yesterday morning for it.
    DD2 is back, she had such a brilliant time and didn't miss home one bit! DD1 is now away at scout camp.
    I don't mind that they don't miss home when they are away, I'm just so glad they are off enjoying themselves and not fretting about us.

    So today I have had my eyebrows waxed. It wasn't my usual lady and this one has made them such an odd shape and they are even more mismatch than usual now :rotfl:. Think I'm going to have to draw them on a bit as they are really bad! First world problems :cool::rotfl:

    Went on to Mr Al's and spent £43 which I'm pleased with it.
    DD and I then called to Mr M's for a voucher for my dad. They didn't have the one he likes so we bought him some beer and chocolate instead. Got ID'd at the till :eek::rotfl:.

    Were having a fakeaway chinese curry for tea so just roasting some chicken off for that. Off to meet my Dad for a drink and take his present and cards over so will have our tea after.

    Think thats about all. A mostly chilled out weekend here xx

    Nice to still get asked for ID MTG :) Bet you were well chuffed!

    Once when I had my eyebrows tinted they went a bit mad with the colour and when I got home Mr SA looked at them and said "calm down, calm down" in a scouse accent :rotfl:

    Have a good week xx
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
