Spread your wings and fly away

Right that is enough for tonight.

Off to bed to read now, and catch up on some much needed sleep.

See you all sometime tomorrow

Hugs xx

So the kids are watching this:

And I wasn't taking much notice of it until I saw this yummy, rugged looking man:

Who also happens to be one of my favourite actors.

And for those of you that are Patrick Swayze fans he is in this as well with long hair.

Funny how all of a sudden the film seems quite appealing

I am so sorry the council tax is late this month.

I take full responsibility.

I decided to go shopping for some food for my hungry kids and hubby.

The bill came to the exact amount that you charge me for the services you are supposed to supply but neglect to do so.

I hope that this is acceptable and so sorry for the inconvenience caused to your computer systems, and the bimbo you employed to answer the phones when I recently complained about the fact that you had not collected the bin despite it being in the designated spot.

I hope you understand that my kids are my first priority and you will be paid just as soon as you manage to provide the service you are charging me for.

Well you didn't really think he could cook did you?

It isn't funny to come up quietly behind your wife/girlfriend/partner and try and undo her bra and make a silly noise while she is trying to type!

It has been a bit of a bleurgh day so far.

Rain all day, trip to town (treated myself to a few tops and a skirt) and then home again.

MIL has just gone and taken her bird with her, not impressed that I am 'gallivanting' off next week - well it isn't like the kids and hubby are really going to go to pieces without me here for a couple of nights is it?

While in town we had a brainwave, and decided to update the photos of the kids that we have as the last time they were done was about 6 years ago. So found a bloke in the market that takes portrait photos and showed us some of the ones he has done recently - and he is good. So after convincing hubby that we needed to have a family portrait done, we booked in with him on the 14th July. Haven't broken the news to the kids yet though, and I really should find something decent to wear, don't want too formal or too casual, just natural - hmmmm difficult one

The rest of the day I have sat in front of Kerrang and cut out all the letters and pictures that I need for the Science display - and just found out that I have forgotten to do some titles for some of the pictures! Never mind I will sort that out on Monday.

That's all for now need to change the CD think hubby is getting fed up with this one playing:

I have something to tell you before I announce it to my family........................

Another spur of the moment decision I have made, I have decided it is time for me to change direction with my life and become a Red Cross volunteer.

In mid July, I will head off on a training course and will be stationed just off the coast of Iraq. Britain needs my help and I'm here to give it.

Attached is a picture of the rest of my group. I know it's a bit unexpected but I'll keep in touch xx

An award should go to the Virgin Airlines gate attendant in Sydney some months ago for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.

A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767s had been withdrawn from service. A single attendant was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travellers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS".

The attendant replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these people first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out." The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"

Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address microphone:

"May I have your attention please, may I have your attention please," she began - her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14."

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, "F... You!" Without flinching, she smiled and said, .................

"I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to get in line for that too."
