I'm announcing the start of season 4 of Spooks. Does anybody remember when I started? It feels a bit like reading the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.

I had a shitty nights sleep!  Woke up at least 6 times with the feeling that I was coming down with something and then was rudely awakened this morning with the sound of the OH hurling (how very dare he!) in the bathroom   I feel rough today and am now awaiting whatever type of manflu he has to hit me next.  So I'm being nice to him at the minute coz I know I'll need him when I'm oh so sick

Oh no Ells stomach bugs are just the worst, fingers crossed you don't catch it.

I remember when Master Cinds was still in primary and whenever something was going around he was always kind enough to bring it home for Mr C & I, but never ever caught it himself 

 Aww I don't know which is worse...a sick kid or a whining grown man!

For me the sick kid is the better of the two.  This is mainly because I am a terrible mother when it comes to cleaning up puke and the likes, and usually end up puking myself so Mr Cinds takes over because it's just easier that way. 

Me too.....my kids don't even call me anymore if they've been sick.  We just hear 'Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad' and I giggle to myself coz I know he's in for a treat.

There has been a drunken occasion (or two) where I've puked nowhere near the vicinity of the loo and then had the brass to call him to clean it

Mmmm hard boiled eggs and brown toast.  Best breakfast ever.

I'll be so happy when school starts up again.  The amount of times my youngest has come in crying this past few days because of falling out with his friends is ridiculous.  Some of it is silly stuff like arguing over who is the best looking out of them all (yes....seriously, a group of boys all aged between 6 and 8 ) and then some times a bit more serious like hitting each other.  They've started teasing him about his eczema and I'm trying hard not to blow my lid but that's one thing that I don't want to let go on but I don't want to seem like a neurotic mother by going to their parents about it yet but I'm close.

ROLL ON MONDAY!! Then they won't spend as much time together and will maybe fight less when they do play.

I do! Series 4 is a good one - the gorgeous Rupert Penry-Jones is in it.

I'm on episode 5 and yes it's fantastic and yes the man is gorgeous.

Col, have you seen "Whitechapel", Rupert is in that, too?

I have, waiting for the next series if there is one. He's such a good actor, completely different on that show.

I'm bouncing off the walls with excitement here.

My metal wall art has arrived for my kitchen (and a top from e bay)

- it's like Christmas

I have a giant antique knife, fork and spoon for behind the dining table and a large oak tree with sort of amber like leaves for above the sofa.

Online shopping is great isn't it? And yes ..............it was a rainy afternoon 

I have lost 2 stone 8 so far....yaay... 

  Well done clumsycat.

well done Clumsy. *high five*

That's brilliant Clumsy well done 

Saz, too right  Took my eldest to the town today and he has robbed me so one thing I am looking forward to getting back to shopping on my own!

Well done 

Yay - well done Clumsy

Bugger it didn't work.  It's supposed to be a video 

Mr C and I went out for a meal last night.  On leaving the restaurant to get in the cab home and unnoticed pot hole attacked me and made me lose my footing and I fell over.  However, it was the slowest fall in the history of the world.  Mr C who had witnessed me starting to fall ran around the cab to help me up only to find me still actually falling. 

I would like to think it's because I'm as light as a feather, but alas that's not true.  I just like to take my time with things to make sure I get it right first time.

I really hurt my face though from all of the laughing afterwards.

 Maybe you're actually married to a superhero who has the ability to zoom to your rescue!!

How's the tooth now?

Ooooooh I like the idea of him being a superhero.  As long as he doesn't spiderman me 

Tooths not so bad thanks.  Seeing the dentist on Tuesday, managed to work the visit in to many other jobs I need to do over on the west coast. 

My filthy mind has a created an image to accompany that comment.

And your filthy mind has probably jumped to the correct conclusion 

I got robbed yesterday by a seller of Turkish delight and other fancies   3 small bags of sweets cost me £9.40!  I was gobsmacked but didn't want to say I didn't want it then.

Turned out they were all rotten but we are eating them anyway coz they cost so much!

Lesson learned.  Don't be so greedy next time!

I feel your pain Ells.  I've also been robbed by a sweetie seller in the past.  The other week I went to the butchers at our local garden centre and decided to get some veg while I was there.  I picked up 4 relatively large potatoes, took them to get weighed and pay.  £5.65 for 4 potatoes, I asked if they were going to peel and sautee themselves, when I was told they wouldn't I politely declined to buy them.

Now THAT'S robbery!  I'd be wanting a whole dinner for that price not just a spud!

I thought those pic 'n' mix stands were bad enough but this Turkish stall took it to a whole new level.  I haven't shut up about it since yesterday lol

I need to go to town and get a new bag but I can't be arsed.  I wanted something glitzy coz I'm going out tonight and wearing all black.  Maybe I can glue some glitter and sequins on an old clutch  Or maybe I should just go to town

Just decorate one you already have.  Let's face it, you won't give two hoots about what your handbag looks like once you've got a few drinks inside of you. 

I might go scran one off my sister.  Although I'd have to run away from home if if anything happened to it so it might not be worth it.

hah dee hah dee hah 

Hahaha Love it!

Oh dear ... all that paid for that :laughL
