Hello, I'm Bitter and I have lost around two stone, have another 4 or 5 pounds to go.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN YOU GORGEOUS CREATURE YOU!!!!!! xxxx

Whoops, sorry Double, didn't see you there!

I have woken up with a stinking cold - shocker - and my face is the size of a blimp thanks to my wisdom tooth!!!

Gah!!

Off to make breakfast for the workers. Back in a bit.

Morning all xx

Mooooorning.

I have only been up for twenty minutes

DH has taken DC to FILs so I am child free, but did say I would do the Ironing in return.

Happy Birthday Brian!

Sorry Double, x posts. What an utter Knobjob.

Heyyyy..Double, sorry you are having a bad day.. I want to beam myself over to you and eliminate the clouds on your horizon.. xx

Happeeeeee Birthday Brian

Yesterday was AWESOME.
The highlight of the day was a percussion and pyrotechnic display and they were absolutely thrilling. Really truly. Drums and fireworks are a combination enough to make me fizz with inspiration, there was so much on . The kids were exhausted but in that tired happy satisfied way.

Will catch up in a minute, have been shopping and need tea xx

Mittz, day sounds fab.

I really need to get in the shower and start ironing. Think I'll put a film on.

Not Ironing in the shower you understand. I have a steam iron, that would be over egging the pudding somewhat.

No idea re dentist. I'm hoping it will go away. day 5 of pain so I doubt it.

Mittz - the text you sent me yesterday, is that where you were? The illumination room/tunnel thingy? It look awesome!!

Double - log it. He is a wanker.

Washing up now. Joy.

Beef casserole later. Have had 2 bacon barms, squished flat so I could eat them.

OUCH!!!!

Dinner Date, ITV1. They are in Manc!!!

First guy is a chopper. Left his 'date' on her own. And said she was nice 'facialy'?

Car crash TV on a cold Sunday afternoon, snuggled on the sofa, hot mug of tea in hand.

Lovely.

Mouse...yes.. it was a luminarium and was totally beautiful, a series of tent type tunnels with coloured material that created light pools.
It was mesmerising
The main street performers (Close Act) were also mind blowing.
But the Pyrotechnic show will resonate in my mind for a long time. The set was made from stuff from a scrap yard, including some of the drums, and when they drummed in unison, the sound was so powerful I could feel it reverberating in my rib cage. (They were called Le Commandos) and , just jaw droppingly good.

I am hoping to go to the sculpture show at Chatsworth next.

Mouth sounds a bit ouchy Mouse..

Mittz - I love Pyrotechnic shows. I saw one a Tatton Park one year done to classical music. I cried. It was truly spectacular.

The colours on your text were amazing so to be there must have been wonderful! I am of you!!

Thank you for my kiss, I've had a look at the back of my tooth (I have a dental mirror, no idea why, I just found it) and my gum has split. It's bursting through the gum!!

OUCH!!!!

I can't get there til Tuesday! Nowhere today and MrM has the car all day tomorrow! I guess I could try and get the bus with Nemo......

What a fucking nightmare!!! The whole of my face is on fire on the left side. I have earache too.

I want my bed!!!

Oh Mouse lovey xx ((( ))) That sounds so painful. Would an ice pack relieve the pain a little?

Even DS was entranced yesterday by the whole thing. He fell in love with the luminarium and 'softened' a little and I went really early to get to the front of the drum thing. I wouldn't normally do something like that to the kids as it meant a long wait and they were struggling bless them, but DS's jaw dropped. My soul really needed it, Drums do something to me deep inside...

DS will be able to little runs to the shop for you in time SaF, some days you just don't want to go out though, I know how you feel x
