Its very blue here. The counsellor is a good egg though. which is more than can be said for the tory MP, who is as bent as they come not a good example of honesty and selflessness.
There is no choice either. Humph. grump.
DH is moving a little better today. Tomorrow is FIL's 90th, so we have to be mobile.

Mini - glad your DH is slowly getting better.

Ali - I do feel rather smug about getting out with all 3 today, but not in a rush to do it again lol! Managed to leave DS2 & DD in the car, as parked as near to classroom as poss & Head was wandering around the playground at that point too.
DS1 got himself downstairs then his teacher carried him to the car, bless her! Then got DD out for cuddles all round :)
DS2 luckily tolerated sitting in the car with toys & books all the time.

Our council stayed the same - conservative hold. They are very good actually, no complaints at all.

Mini - it is rubbish to have no choice, leads to complacency. Glad DH is on the mend, and I hope FIL has a good birthday tomorrow :)

I am shattered, but in a good way. Got lots done today despite hungry velcro child :)
We are off down to my parents tomorrow for the weekend because Sunday is my birthday. Mum is going to cook my favourite food, and I will get a bit of a lie in on Sunday - hurrah!

Evening ladies :)

Thank you for the happy birthdays :)

Have had a lovely weekend, yummy food and wine and I got a lie-in until 11am this morning after I had fed DS2 a couple of times!
I also tried on the bridesmaid's dress that I need to wear in September, and I'm about half an inch to an inch away from it fitting, which I am really chuffed with - so no need to cancel cake from my diet entirely just yet!!

DH and I just watching last night's Dr Who now and getting unpacked and then off to bed.
