    Evening all

    Late post as I was on another early today. Another manic day, it's been a beautiful day aparently wish I'd known this at 6am, I would have put my washing out. Glad you had a good time at the meet.

    Have just cooked fish and chips for tea. Can't wait to go to bed. OH is on a late, not much point in going to bed before he gets home as he'll only wake me up :rolleyes: .

    Hiya!
    Not had chance to read all of the thread but hope everyone is ok.
    I was feeling a little cheesed off as had another hard day at work but after reading Crazychick's news about Shannon being found alive that has made me feel so much better about life! :j

    We all broke up from school today so I'm not going to think about work for the next couple of weeks. We're going to do quite a bit of DIY and lots of family stuff. :D
    The girls are at their friend's house for tea so DH (who's just got back from the pub) and I are having a chippy tea! Another reason to be happy. :j
    Have a good evening!

    Yes - lets hope, Sky news says she is safe, but cant report if she is "well" untill she has been medically examined!

    Its brought a tear to my eyes too!

    I also worry about any psychological damage she might have suffered as a result of the abduction:(
