Oh yes , of course. I'm green with envy  

Hi there Smurfy How are you feeling now ? 

hi baz not too bad though tired all the time so having a wee snooze in the evening...how's you?

Hi smurfy how was your day?

Baz you can sneak in my suitcase if you like

I started my pre-holiday diet today, I have to make room for all the pizza I'm going to eat

Awww How is your man ? Are kids all packed for holidays ? I'm tired.  

I think I would qualify as excess baggage Sweet Remind  me again which end of Garda you're going ? 

hi sweetie bit of cleaning and bit of shopping pressies for his nieces and nephews when we go down how did you feel after your walk?

he's finally feeling better in time for his birthday he really got it bad!! and he's up at 1.30 to go to work...oh yeah wee one's been packed since last nite and think big one is half there

Awww which day is his birthday ? 

I should think you'll all be ready for a holiday now smurfy! Crikey you're both working hard

I felt great after my walk thank you, then stiff, then very very tired, then more stiff and now ok again

What's his birthday present smurfy?

Sirmione, baz- it's right at the bottom end of the lake

birthday is thursday...day we're heading off

Oh yes Mine was Riva.....end of the line 

I've got some beautiful photos of our trip ....gorgeous scenery 

So, what have you bought him? 

bet you were stiff!! i get stiff from hardly walking at all

 

got him a watch engraved on the back...a leather guinness limited edition wallet...he loves his guinness...and a few smaller dopey gifts...i've ordered a cake for tomorrow and i've got icing decorations to put on it...scrabble letters and a photo of him printed on icing...so i've got a bit of work to do tomorrow

when are you off sweetie?

Awww I bet he will be thrilled ,

What flavour cake?

We go in 5 weeks, I can get excited now the walk is done! My mum has stayed at Riva on a previous holiday, she fell in love with the lake and always said she'd like to go back when she retired

I actually surprised myself at how fit I felt, and at how quickly I'm recovering. I am very grateful!

I fell in love with it too Sweet ....I would love to go back ....but it won't happen now ...

Unless you climb in my suitcase baz
Is there somewhere you would like me to visit for you?

hope so baz...just trying to make it a bit special

 

dunno what flavour...assuming sponge with jam and plain icing on the top

 

sounds wonderful sweetie...not much of a holiday for us not with kids coming along!!

watching 16 kids and counting i can barely manage 2!!

Anywhere Sweet ....I liked Maclcesine (sp) .....but the whole lake is lovely 

 

I do believe we'll be going there baz, something about a cable car..?

Sounds tasty to me smurfy, I love sponge cake will you put candles on it?

Yes If you want I can show you some pics at some point  

Imagine 16 teenagers  

Yes please baz, I'd love to see them

16 teenagers?! Good lord, the house would be ruined!!!!

i have 40 candle...that'll do

 

baz!! 16 teenagers!! i'd be up for murder!!

I'd emigrate!   

Definitely- much less messy than using 40 individual candles

How is your teenager Smurfy ? 

I'm going to Churchill- pardon me
Sweet dreams ladies

Night night Sweet ....and have a nice day off  

yeah i think 40 candles would be a meltdown

 

well she's coming out of her room more...playing with her sister...interacting more but not going to school tomorrow and they finish on may 16!!

nite nite sweetie sleep well
