Today we went to jumpin jacks, had lunch in tescos and played lots.
The sun has been shining all day...yehhh
I'm still coughing....nooooo
Shel and I were sat admiring skinny gals in the pool and saying how we wished we were like that...then we started rofl as she was dipping a crunchie in her tea...and I was scoffing chips!! There may be a solution lol...I was telling Ron and he said that I couldn't expect to have a figure of a 20 year old when I'm knocking 40...oh thanks pal....not oh but you're beautiful as you are...charming lol
Tonight we have wrapped pressies and done cards, got a birthday tomorrow and Monday and next Sunday...and a christening this Sunday!!
I'm off tomoz... but off in the morning to grans as R is going back to America Sunday and it will be the last chance to see her...then gotta be back for a party at 3....some day off...hardly a lazy day that Wayne keeps asking for x bless
He was upset I'd gone to the meeting last night and found a car like mine in his car box and said he'd made a story with it last night and he was in the boot so he could be with me xxx bless him xxx
Never mind from next weekend I'll have every other weekend off, so a bit more quality time with him...and hopefully some bongoing lol...already booked for the welsh bongo bash...it's only in Caernarfon...can't wait xxx mind you it's getting a bit cold at night....sure we'll be fine xx

anglesey marathon
Today was a sunny day....yippeee.....
We went to the Anglesey Marathon...just...I didn't wake up til midday!! So mad dash before the road shut again!!
It was really good.
Bit of a disappointment as punch and judy wasn't Mr Bimbam...and the guy wasn't as good!
Had a good mooch around the stalls and lots of local stuff which was good...and I bought puppets from a local lady....what fab puppets...and she does multi cultural so going to check out her website to see x
We watched the awards at the end and it was a good day...apart from Wayne failing to go on the bouncy castle as by the time we came out they were gone...oopss
OOh and we met Colin Jackson...who was late....but cute lol

weekend
Yesterday worked til 2 then off in the camper...first drive...ooohhh....got fuel and air in tyres and it was fab...I can even reverse it better than the zafira lol
Went to see bro then for a pub meal then to see bro in law........
Today we had a lazy day...well the men did lol I hoovered, washed, cleaned, then we went to meet folks, picked up bro on the way and went for a pub meal to welcome R from America...she's here for a few weeks staying with great gran...had a nice time and Wayne was shy!!!! hilarious....
Getting very excited as dad can make me a hook up for electric so I can go in the camper in the cold and have tea...yehhhh....we've just thought though.....how to we get the cable in the van when it's all shut up!! sure we'll find a way....
Got a dilemma now, due to pay balance on haven holiday from the sun...but wondering if to just wave bye bye to the £38 I've paid up to now and just go in the camper...as I'm dying to go in it....and it's nearly as big as the chalets!!! that's only cos the chalets are small lol....and we could go at the beginning of half term instead of the end...which isn't ideal....oooh the dilemma.....

We didn't venture out til late moring and went to get a key cut for the bongo...doesn't work though!!! and tax...I decided to hell with it and it would mean I could go to my mates party with Wayne..not stay too late and kip in bongo....being as Daddy is going out and apparently he was asked first so tough shit to me!! Like I said though...when the hell do I go out ...my mate will only be forty once!!!!....anyway it was a waste of an arguement as tonight I was checking the calendar for something and saw that I'm working the sunday morning after the party so can't go anyway.....oh well glad in a way as the bongo can be driven legally now yehhhhh....
We had lunch in a cafe and had comments on how good the children were...nice xx
School then home to play and do jobs.....

banging on about the bongo!
Yesterday....I can't remember what we did lol....oh yes I do we went to the bank....to put money in this time!! to the library which was a disaster with a 10 month old who likes to climb...and throw books everywhere lol
In the evening I went to a 70th birthday party, it was really nice and saw my mate s there and had a catch up ..and she wants to come to he hall with me...also saw an old teacher who's daughter I was mates with in primary...
Home and the first thing Ron said was...P says you need to get a life....bloddy charming...at least I'm not stuck in the eighties trying to relive my youth...I have a nice life thank you very much....which is getting better....ha ha yeh back to bongo!
I got my insurance today with revised reg number sigh...but still couldn't get tax...cheques not cleared and no pay today..and baby slept too long for us to go anyway.....but hey no hurry I'm not intending on shoving kids in it and driving off until I've had a go in it...it's a bit bigger than what I'm used to...and automatic...so need to do a lone run..which may happen this weekend..being as I'm finishing early...as long as I can get the tax tomorrow....
Mind you me and Wayne have been cleaning it, bit of a doggy smell...not bad but we've cleaned all the plastic and the carpet and the roof bit...and hopefully doing the seats at the weekend if it's sunny...and tonight the mindees played in it lol...and had a picnic in it!!!! So it's of use untaxed and we can get it all shiny ready for us to go away in...I'm wondering whether to hang on to the zafira....I've asked about carseat covers and we're going to see if they can be done...if not I don't fancy sleeping on seats where kids have peed...cos they do...and the covers I have now are ace...but if I can't get them...we'll see...and of course dosh!!
Anyway today we went to pili palas and had a fab time.....
I'm shattered after last night...and the chinese meal was lovely but as usual I end up bloated..and this morning threw up...sigh...must be nice to eat what you like....I tried to be careful but............

what a day and no bongo!!!
What a day.....
The plan was to go get money for the bongo and collect it tonight....sigh....failed
Spent ages on the phone to insurance...they phoned me thank goodness....then got an enquiry for an as and when school pick up...and was so flustered had to tell her I'd phone her back as the kids were steadily wrecking the house....
Went to bank and there's a limit on daily withdrawls...thought I'd be ok in Bangor!! In there for ages with kids getting fed up and running about...transferring money and messing about...and to come out with not enough and have to go back tomorrow.
Went from there to Pili Palas....and they had a whale of a time and we met H and A with Dad....and I felt better as I'd been busy this morning and could spend quality time with them having fun...although Wayne got cross when I kept beating him in a race on the bouncy castle lol...and then wailed....
Home and outside to play in the sunshine.....YES SUNSHINE...love it when the kids go back...the weather gets better x
Then Wayne cut his lip on the see saw...he was bleeding badly for a bit...I rang the docs as I couldn't see for the blood what he'd done...took him there and sat for ages (now I know why I never go to the drs) by the time he saw him it had stopped bleeding and you could see it was just a big cut on his lip ...no broken teeth or anything...so bit of a waste of time...Wayne looks bad though bless him and couldn't eat tea...but made up for it at suppertime by eating a penguin, a bowl of tuna and 4 pieces of toast!!
And the other good thing today was a man gave me a free parking pass for the car park.
And the bad thing is we didn't get the bongo...but watch this space,,,hopefully tomorrow...or do I not speak too soon!!!
I'm off to email my mates with kiddies starting school tomorrow...poor mites.xx
