Morning all

Its raining here and there is a sun shining on my google weather thingy

JKS yeap mn recipe, pineapple banana and pecan buns they are yum! might make them today, did paperwork instead last night!

Alice I vented on that yesterday too, funny I was thinking of you when I did it, I was thinking you would think your family are not too bad if you knew half the things my brother says and does!
It really would shock you all, and I have got to the point that I just sit on the phone and listen, what are you supposed to say when he tells you he called the mother of his daughter a whore infront of her, actually he said he shouted whore and lots of other names ,
I can just picture him, he has such a bad temper, of course I told him that he shouldn't have done it but of course he just gets aggressive with me then and my family wonder why I have no time for them????
Thats why I don't visit my poor niece anymore as I can't defend his behaviour and his ex would just cast up to him that his sister thinks he's an asshole as well!

Sorry rant over(should have used chat thread!)

right have had shower
dcs washed and dressed

drop an invoice over to a customer
going to leave ds over to his friends
ask friend for tips on making christening cake

friend coming tomorrow with her twins
