Mo, good weather is on its way, we're having some sun now.

Having a playdate here this pm, thank god to break up the monotony. I completely agree about the p/ters. I have 2 full timers except for one day which is different and that is by far my favourite day. Same in same out is getting tedious

Any advice on this thread? Most of you know the situation with this one, just didn't want to give full details on that thread after what happened with my parents!

It has rained like a monsoon here all day!

And DH has just come in to say he is off to SA on Thursday everything paid for and last time Virgin sent them out there first class both ways.

I know they go out to do a charity thing (they do all the maintenance at a school for the disabled just outside Soweto)

But I hope he gets sick

Mo DH is allegedly a Soldier in the Royal Signals, but for the last 14 years had been with the Royal Signals White Helmet MotorBike Display Team.

Each year about 12 of them go out to SA to do this charity do sponsored by Virgin Airways.

Its the 4th time he has gone!!!!

why wont they take wives [sob] I would paint walls I wouldn't mind honest!

Bugger better bring me jewellery back (usually does although one time bought me back really posh skin care range 'FOT THE OLDER WOMAN' he almost didn't live!

QUESTION - if on the contract I have run out of room for all my 'Additional Notes', I can just type something up on an extra page can't I and they sign it? If so, what would you call that extra page? I've gone blank!

Yep you would have, he regularly banged his head off the side of the areana theit hanging upside down from a bike

At least thats his excuse for being dippy at times.
