    Now I am sooooo jealous. Would love to see them on 24th May but unfortunately it's just not feasible at the mo and TBH I have bit of social phobia since DH died. Don't tend to go out other than to see friends at their homes. I do need to get over that and pull myself together, my friend next door tries her best to get me to join in and she has had some success!

    SSL, yes, DS2 is 3 today and the one who got stuck in the TD. And rammed a pair of nail clippers in the kitchen door so it wouldn't open. And gave me a few black eyes, a broken toe, bad bruising down one side of my body, scratches on my face right before a TV interview, the only one to draw on the walls/floors/stairs/curtains plus a few other incidents that I have managed to block from my memory. All in all, he is a Devil-Child with a million watt grin!

    MIL and FIL just been with more presents for him. I cleaned the sofa's and am away to mop the floor. Oh bliss, I have a new mop head.
