I hope you have a good time Lynne. Don;t forget to take the sun cream and the mozzi repelant. x x x

Love and angel hugs x x x Patricia x x x

You are mad Lynne, but I have already told you that lol.  You have a fantastic time as you deserve the rest.  Ailsa, sorry to hear that you are having troubles but hopefully the next few weeks will fly in and then you will be able to get your own space again. 

I am doing okay.  Had quite a bit of pain last night and this morning which was really depressing me as it has been going on too long and I was so excited about going away tomorrow.  Not just because I want to see Muse but I am looking forward to having a good girlie time with my friend Jane as I know we will have a riot.  But thankfully I am feeling better tonight so hopefully it will continue into tomorrow as it is going to be a long day!  I am really needing a break away as I have now been in the house for nearly 2 weeks and as we all know it starts to get to you.  My emotions have been terrible this week and nearly broke up with boyfriend over it but we sorted that out today thankfully.  He puts up with a lot but then so do I lol.  And I sold the caravan!!! Yippeee - I am so glad as I was getting really sick of the hassle.  My mum and dad were showing the lady it and it turns out it is my big cousins best pal.  She had seen it advertised but didn't know who I was or anything.  What a small world.  So I am happy it is going to someone nice that will enjoy it.

Right I really need to pack now as I have been trying to do it for ages and we are getting the train at 9 tomorrow.

Take care penguins and have a good weekend.  No doubt I will be posting pictures on FB!!

Evening All, Hope you are all doing ok tonight. Well it's the weekend again where are the weeks going. Kim was going out tonight so had Charlie for a wee while till his dad finished work, he  just doesn't want to sit on your knee now. We have had a brill week here and it;s to be nice all weekend. I have an appointment to get my eyes tested tomorrow morning before work. It is not long to our JE now i have a 50th on the Sat night as well. Everything comes at once. Gayle enjoy your concert and i hope you keep ok. Lynne have a good holiday. Well i am off to bed hugs to everyone. Fiona xxxxxx  

Morning everyone xx

Gayle and Lynne have a fab time!!! Glad you ve sold the caravan Gayle x

Ailsa big hugs to you and well done on losing weight!!! I m very jealous of your JE meet. It is my wedding anniversary next week and thought I was ok but started panicking already lol!! Nothing planned for that day and its a Sunday!! Need to get on the case x

Fiona enjoy your party tonight.

Rosemary I m glad to read you had such a `real` laughing fit. I had one the other day with my son`s girlfriend over a photo, think she was actually laughing at me laughing! but refreshing all the same.

Well I ve done my first week and really enjoyed it. Exhausted but defintiely think I ve made the right move. Felt a bit flat last night, was too tired to go out and do anything but wished I had that special person to do `nothing` with. You know what I mean lol. G works nights and is working all weekend, rubbish!! We may go out for Sunday lunch tomorrow. Today I ve got an appointment at the bank, not really sure what for, to discuss my account and make sure I m getting all the benefits!! Lets hope so lol. Then may do the garden as it is so lovely.

Have a good Saturday everyone

Hi all -- Gayle + Lynne have a good hol + hugs to everyone else -- Have had another infection these past few days -- think I ate something that set off my diviticulitis -- dont know if its the stress of everything as I tend to get v up + down times -- wont have time to think of myself tonight + tomorrow as have the busy bee grandson -- hope this lovely weather isnt coming to an end as its been a lot cooler today + we've had 2 showers -- hope everyone has a good weekend I will probably be walking round the park at some unearthly hour -- I do meet the early dog walkers + church goers -- love + hugs fellow penguins xx Lynda

Evening everyone.  Have a great time in Manchester seeing Muse Gayle.  Fiona I hope the eye test went okay today.  Not long until next Sunday now.  This evening I am planning my itinerary as I am also seeing some aunts and uncles while I am in Glasgow.  I am taking the ferry to Bute on the Monday and then back to the mainland on Tuesday towards Loch Lomond.  Helen I am glad you have enjoyed your first week in your new job.  I will think about you for your wedding anniversary next weekend.  Hopefully we are all learning by now that the day is nowhere near as bad as the build up.  It seemed to me as though everyone who remembered my anniversary last year forgot this year or perhaps just didn't know what to say a year on so be warned.  Have a lovely lunch with G tomorrow.

I am at Becky's house in Bracknell this evening.  We didn't get here until 2:35am this morning as I was very tired and had to stop a lot on the way.  I had a good lie in this morning though so it's okay.  My van is full ready for an early start tomorrow so we should be home in Yorkshire by lunchtime given a bit of luck.  It is actually quite relaxing here this evening so it is a nice rest for me.  I hope everyone else is okay this evening.  Take care.  Ailsa xxx
