Ah bless her - the thing is it's been such a nightmare knowing what the weather is going to do though!

All week the forecast has been changing for tomorrow (am having BBQ) and even yesterday half the forecasters said rain and half said sun.

You gotta go!

you should go and then make excuses as people light up - take her a lovely gift

WendyWeber · 04/08/2007 18:51

Ohhh, that's why you said NO STEW to harpsi with such feeling!

(If it makes you feel any better - which it won't - it has been raining here all day a nice stew would be lovely )

forsale · 04/08/2007 18:51

CountessDracula · 04/08/2007 18:51

OP posts:
foxinsocks · 04/08/2007 18:52

yes, you could have come here and we could have sat outside and put the world to rights and then you'd be feeling much better. But NO. You had to go home and sulk.

AlbusPercivalWulfricBrianSun · 04/08/2007 18:52
