D`y ever ever wonder what you would do if you won the lottery?

[triplets]

I know what I would do.

1. Buy a 5 bedroom house so we all get our own room, big garden so James could have a dog.

1. Get private medical insurance so we never again have to await scans and results.

1. Buy Shabs a villa in Faliraki.

1. Throw a big party for all my lovely lovely mad mums on here.

1. Treat myself to highlights.

1. Buy bags and bags of M&S choccy nuts!

Shabs, dont ever tell H, he doesnt approve of butties, but my fav is down my mums on Sat, she makes corned beef hash and I love it on crusty bread, how posh is that

Rubes- it was def worth it, the extension is fab. All we need now is the right furniture but that will have to wait! It was a nightmare not being at home and moving back was also a nightmare but all in all, I would say the expense involved was def worth it when you consider moving/stamp duty/massive upheaval/removal costs/soliciotrs/ad infinitum....etc etc.

Shabs - dont go to be, do a throughie as my hubby would say!!! You know you can, get some booze down ya (text speak) neck and go for it!!

Trips - hope tomorrow goes well, how fab - if there is a link to the local press on t'internet, put it on here so we can all see the window! Re your hols - where are you looking, budget, priorities etc - lets see if we can help.

awwwww Tater Hash Trips - could just eat that now - with pickled beetroot or pickled red cabbage - big doorstep wedges of bread Im starving!!!!!

Will be thinking about you Trips - will be thinking about everybody on here - probably will only last a couple of hours before Tom -makes me go on the hotel computer with him LOL.

I know that when the taxi goes over the brow of the hill and pulls into the Venezia car park that I will look up and see the beautiful resort and the sea and start bawling!!! I do it every year and they expect it of me now Its like going home to your grans at Christmas and longing to see her.

Kale Nita Trips - better say it proper like!! Take care of yourself xxxxx

HM - a throughie?? I like the sound of that....cause it is a 4and a half hour flight and will be able to sleep then and Im going to miss you lot. xxxxxx

We say, in deepest darkest Bolton, we are going on an 'all dayer.' Its all HM's fault - I have some very strong white cider that needs finishing....she said I should have a drink....Oooohhh Im so easily led!!!

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my friends xx

Gwan Shabs....yer know yer want to Now will you get to bed? Kale Nita then if I must be posh xxx

Night darling - see you soon xxxx

Right your mission is to find me a holiday.

Anywhere in UK except west country(sorry girls but we have done that A303 to death and if I have to have another wee stop at Stonehenge I`ll scream).

Anywhere in France or possibly Puerto Pollensa in Mallorca. We have european travel cover though it excludes Hs illness. Possibly french camp site <strong>if</strong> it the accomodation is big! Self catering here, but with facilities, ie pool, hot tub, etc I would love a very luxurious wooden lodge, with its on hot tub, set on a lake or in a forest, love looking at nature, spotting critters from our own decking etc, stunning scenery, things to keep my trio happy. Budget? Like to think around £2,000 for two weeks, all depends, if we go to France we get free ferry etc. Something different! I found a lovley plave in the Lake District which would have been perfect its called the Tranquil Otter, sadly booked up. Of course this all depends on Hs result.

Tell Gloria I said hello!

Of course what I really want is to fly west to my lovely US of A and have another adventure.............

OOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAA!

Shabs may have arrived and is blubbing in the taxi as we speak!

Hoochie, my two had hand foot and mouth and apart from one day of grumpiness and few spots, it was no big deal. In fact most people thought it was the pox.

Anyway, you can't away with it that easily, what is DH up to? Are you secretly famous? DO you lead a glam lifestyle that only few of us could imagine?

HM - when are you back your house proper?

Have fun finding a holidat Trips, I'm afraid we're still in the camping in cornwall budget of holidays and can't help you with anything more serene.

DH has taken the day off work and I thought: oooohhh that's nice, there's all sorts of things we could do as a family. Nope. Wrong. He's taken the day off as it's windy and he's off to Kimmeridge for a sail. Ho hum. I'll probably head over there for a windy walk with the DTS later.

Snorris - are you this way?

Missed Shabby, poo. Oh well, she's probably sunning herself at the Venezia by now .

Momma, am v. excited for Poppa - am sure it will be a brilliant success. By the way, I finally managed to get hold of some of that Genius bread and it really is fantastic isn't it? I would happily eat it, and I'm not a fan of g-f bread. Did you know it's on offer in Tescos at the mo' - £1.99 a loaf. Don't know if you can freeze it, but if you can, time to stock up .

DD1 has her class assembly tomorrow and I am going to have another proud mummy moment. Does anyone remember the classic children's story 'The owl who was afraid of the dark'? DD1 is playing Plop (the afore-mentioned scared owl ). She's extremely excited . Will have to take tissues watery .

TSF - been back in since April but we were out for two months from early Feb..during which mother in law visited for a month from Aus......I have actually tried to block as much of the whole period out of the house out of my head!

Shabs will be by the pool by now....crying by the sounds of it.....

Trips - will have a look for you hols wise. First instinct - up the road from me www.ruddingpark.co.uk has lodges, infact we stayed in one of their cottages when we were having our extension done! Of course bit of a drive so will look nearer for you.

Hectic here.

Have emergency eye hospital appt as my eyes have all but given up after recent problems (but I don't care because I met Bruce ).

Tomorrow its late notice dentist for DT2 who almost lost his teeth a couple of weeks ago when he smashed him mouth off the couch in a dancing accident (but I am not worried because I met Bruce ).

My laundry mountain rescue mission is the biggest ever seen in the house of the Frumps (but I couldn't give a shit because I met Bruce ).

I have eczema on my scalp and face (looking good, but I don't care because I met Bruce .

I am packing for the holidays (unsuccessfully) and have to get to the chemist and some other shops, collecting DD1's friend for a play date in half an hour and he kitchen looks like modern art (but I don't care because I met Bruce )

In other words, I met Bruce in my hotel on Saturday, he signed my ticket, I literally stood touching shoulders with him and touched his gorgeous back through his soft, grey, cashmere jumper, I drank gin in the same room as him, his son held the lift for me, I saw the entire band and, and, and, and, and, I didn't feel all star struck and "F I don't know what to say", I just felt so fing lucky and happy and smiley and.......calm. Until later, when I got back to my room I could have wet myself until I floated Dublin like Venice

I am sooooo happy and I don't have this out my system. I need to talk this out. My god, I better go and find some hardcore fans because you girls would have to suffer me badly. I will try to control myself. AND I CAN'T

love from
Hardcore Frumpalot of Brucedom

p.s. went to Glasgow gig last night, got right into the front, I was about 8 people from the front (capacity 52,000). HAPPY WOMAN. Today I ache from top to toe And I don't care because I met Bruce

Hi just had a text from Shabs, arrived safely and Tomster is already out playing footie with the local lads!

HM Yorkshire Lake District etc is fine, anywhere except west country! Thank you

the one with the cashmere jumper, the one who was still damp from his shower, the one who keeps my heart in a little chalk box

FG - I think you are the one who needs a cold shower young lady [stern emoticon]

SOunds lovely though, I'm glad your dream came true. If I wish hard enough do you think Sean Connery's son would hold a lift for me?

Who are we talking about?

Some australian I think..
