Morning! I am mostly spending the morning laughing at hubby's hangover! :rotfl:

He came in at goodness knows what time, but finally staggered to bed (bouncing off the walls as he walked) at about 3.30am, and has only just got up.....AND I had to tempt him out of bed with a bacon butty!

He's now propped up on the sofa watching kids TV and looking rather green. We are off to my Mum and Dad's in a bit for a Sunday lunch with the whole family (10 of us), so it will be even more amusing to watch him trying to pretend to be okay.

Am I cruel????

OMG I have just had the most amazing news!!!

My sister had cancer when she was a teenager, and it was caught so late she didn't have time for any eggs to be harvested and frozen. She was basically told she will never have children. She's been having fertility treatment (ICSI), and it failed the first time because they didn't harvest any viable eggs. They told her at the time that there was basically no point in trying again and she would have to look at egg donation.

Anyway, she has since spoken to the consultant who agreed to try again, with stronger doses of whatever it is you have to inject yourself with. This time they managed to harvest 5 eggs, and have succeeded in fertilising 2. She had the fertilised eggs implanted yesterday, so my baby sister is technically 1 day pregnant (with twins :eek:)!!!

I know there are no guarantees, but the fact that they managed to harvest any eggs at all is a little miracle, and even if things don't work this time, she knows she will be able to try again. So it has finally given her hope of having a baby of her own.

But I really really hope it does work! :A

Afternoon everyone

I ended up working yesterday which was cool, I really enjoyed it. Vernon Kay was there, now, I knew he was going to be and when I went into the dressing room before the gig I was a bit irritated because there were a couple of people in there (I assumed they were punters) Anyway, this bloke came and sat next to me and was asking all sorts of questions and talking as if we knew each other. I was a bit confused, polite but not overly familliar. Anyway he got up and left and i turned to irwin and asked who the hell was that, he said, that was vernon you daft cow. OMG, he looks odd with short hair, I always thought he was a cutie but he looked like he'd just stepped out of Henley. No no no, not a good look, I liked the floppy haired thing. I've met him a few times before which is why he was chatty, but he looked so different, must of thought I was being a right stuck up cow. If I'd have realised I would have taken a photo of the new hair for you so you can see what I mean. We need a bring back vernons curtains campaign I think.

We had loads of fun though, everyone is totally knackered and needs a break, it was a pretty crap gig but we had the giggles all night because of the nasty underwear the guys were asked to sign, so I made Ben (from Grace) model them while Irwin and Martin signed his bits then he refused to take them off so spent the whole gig in them.
