    Why was my first thought 'whats he done wrong?':rotfl:
    I'm too cynical, thats lovely tia.

    LOL! I did that too!

    Actually at first I wondered who they were from and how would I hide them? :rotfl:

    Turns out he was waiting outside the shop and thought I would like them and he'd be romantic and stuff.

    He has never had flowers delivered to me, mostly because I used to be a florist and have very particular tastes, or so he says. but they are nice! Eucalyptus and dog wood, and not a bit of gyp is sight!

    (((((hugs))))) shell - during 2005 we had two bereavements the first was my grandfather and the kids accepted it because he was old, and they understood that you dont live for ever and ever, again with previous advice be truthful you will get some strange honest questions from the kids (mine were 3 & 6) the second was harder my mum passed away later in the year after struggling with motor neurone disease for 18months they both watched her decline, move in to a nursing home and eventually rely on a wheelchair but neither of them expected her to die and they wanted to know why she had died as she wasnt old. We had to tell them that she was ill and that there was no medicine to fix her, they both very shortly afterwards by themselves decided that granny was a star in the sky and to this day if its a clear night and they see the starts they say thats grannys star. We have had some weird and wonderful comments from both of them some have made us cry and some made us laugh but ultimately being honest with them has made it easier to answer their questions.


    Flying wise hasnt happended today - its my birthday - I had coffee out with friends this morning another friend treated me to lunch then shop at Mr T's collected girls from school I am quickly going to whiz the hoover around and s&s the bathroom then play with my new wii game. Hubby is bringing in a chinese on his way home from the airport so fingers crossed he is not delayed, I have a new bottle of wine in the fridge with my name on it just trying to decide when is it a suitable time to have my first glass;)

    I will put together a list for the weekend and play catch up then, we dont have naything planned so will catch up and get the house ready for the estate agent next week.


    Tia beautiful flowers

    Happy Birthday jjef. Don't you know it's the law that you can't touch a hoover on your birthday ? Have a lovely evening and enjoy the chinese and the wine !

    Happy Birthday JJef - enjoy the rest of your day!

    Lovely roses Tia!

    Pigpen - can we have a new nail pic?

    Kimberely - I thought only bleach would do for the loos and dishcloths - would vinegar or lemon be as good??

    Shell - I always get my brows waxed monthly - so easy to keep on top of afterwards

    Littlies all fed, spag bol made for us later, kitchen S & S'd

    Just waiting for OH to get home and watch LO then I can do my HHI and hoover kitchen and bake more banana bread.

    DD's currently doing their room - will see how that looks later!!!
