TGIF
Thank goodness it's Friday. I have had a hellish week at work, despite the fact that I was (supposedly) off yesterday - although spent the first 3 hours of the day dealing with stuff by phone. But hey, its Friday!!! Sod work!
My baby, X, is off to France tomorrow to spend two weeks with Lily and family, and it will be the longest she has been gone from home. I'm really looking forward to it, though that may make me sound like a heartless mother - I am sure I will miss her a little, but to be able to just have to worry about me and Y (who desn't need a great deal of looking after!) will be absolute bliss.

Happy Birthday
My baby boy is 17 years old today. 17!!! I have absolutely no idea how that happened. I swear his (my) life has just flashed past. May he have many, many more. Love you Y!

Gay Pareee
Woohoo! I am off to Paris in a few weeks! My friend, Lily, has very fabulously offered (of her own accord!) to take X on holiday with them to France for the first two weeks of August - which is just FABULOUS - and so Y and I are going for a short break in the middle of the fortnight for 5 days and 4 nights in Paris. I have booked the Eurostar, ordered his passport, and now just have to wait until payday to find some accommodation.

Relations
I have had an unusual, but lovely weekend this weekend. Friday night saw a bunch of girlies at the local comedy night for Bea's sisters birthday, which was all good fun, especially as I caught up with mate Molly, who I haven't seen for ages.
Saturday, carnival day in our town, dawned bright and early, and after the usual Saturday morning bowling for X and Y, X and I headed into town to view the carnival procession before meeting with my cousin A, who I haven't seen for 30 years! He contacted me on Facebook a while ago now, and then a few weeks ago suggested coming to visit (this partly prompted me to contact my biological father I think). I was a bit sceptical to be honest, but its kind of difficult to refuse, and to be honest, I am glad now that he did.
He arrived on the train about 2pm, and bless him had brought presents (2 Wii games and an £18 photo frame - not to be sniffed at!!) for us all, so we headed home for a while and had a bit of a chit and a chat, before X was picked up by her daddy for the weekend, leaving us free to spend an enjoyable afternoon frequenting some of the gardens of the local pubs. And frequenting we did, barely making it back to the 10pm train in time. It was good. He is a slightly odd kettle of fish, but to be honest, it was nice to see someone from my paternal side, which, after meeting him, seems to be a very small clan indeed.
Today is being spent doing nothing after a long lie in this morning, and a happy daughter home just now after partying in the park for carnival weekend with her dad. Roast is in, telly is on, kids are happy. Perfick!

Threadbare
I have been a bit quiet of late - no significant concerns, but work is crap! Really, really crap crap crap. I would happily take a redundancy notice right now - 6 months off sounds mighty fine to me right now! I feel positively worn out!
I have had a response by the way. I skim read it, didn't really like anything that was in it, so have ignored it. I don't want to particularly read it again, or respond to be honest. It will be filed away somewher for another 17yrs or so.
