Good morning all

Sorry for rant last night. It was just the last straw and i had to let it out somehow All ok now though, half a bottle of wine and a crappy film (Muriels Wedding) and i had chilled out again.

Fil is coming this afternoon and we are going to see family for a hog roast this evening. I'm quite looking forward to it but i will probably drive. FIL isn't an alcoholic or anything, its just he is one of those that enjoys a rather large glass of wine with his meals. With DD in the car. i don't want him driving. Which means we will all have to squeeze into my little A Class (including 2 labradors!)

The house is looking ok at the moment, will just have a quick sweep and tidy round after lunch and that should do. I took DD to the park this morning instead of stressing about cleaning skirting boards/fronts of cupboards etc. much more fun!

I hope everyone has a great weekend

Alice - glad you are better today enjoy the hog roast.

Today:

Evening!

Well done CC! I've got a kitchen timer, so I might give that a go.

JKS, he often has a beard, but shaved a long mexican 'tache in a few months ago, for a sort of costume, but it suits him and everybody loves it.
However, he needed a new passport photo and didn't want this moustache to haunt him for the next ten years, so shaved it off for that.
