    Ah, that's strange then... How did you get the text through?

    I just had a brain wave and remembered Feb and March are the "free" council tax months! That's £216 that go into the car servicing and MOT kitty if needs be.

    Ah ok. Having re-read the T&Cs on the email it seems very confusing anyway.

    "Dinner for £9.99 each. Offer excludes drinks. Valid when paying at regular menu price and not valid with 'Kids eat half price' deal. Valid Monday dinner 5pm till 11pm only. Not Valid with any other offer. Offer can be withdrawn without notice. Subject to availability. Valid at Bristol only. First come first served. Please mention and present this email when seated. Expires Midnight on Sunday 7th Feb."

    So it says it expires 7th Feb, but also says it is valid Monday 5pm - 11pm only?! ****EDIT: SITE NAME REMOVED IN LINE WITH FORUM RULES. MODS.

    Afternoon ladies, feels like I haven't been on here for a while, just catching up on everything! Such a busy day in work today but I just haven't got the motivation to do anything! Doesn't help that I had a hair appointment at 12 and nails at 1 haha! I had 3 inches chopped off my hair, it feels so short but it needed doing and looks so much better and feels thicker, while she was here I also booked my cut and colour for the week before the wedding! Exciting!

    Put LO in his pushchair to go on a walk. Only managed to get half way down the road as the wind was so bad I turned around.

    Came home put LO in the car and we went for a walk around the park, fed the ducks and jumped in puddles

    Just trying to think of what I can buy OH for his birthday and our anniversary. Was thinking about buying him the watch he wants for the wedding - just seen on the F0ss1l website you can engrave it for free as well so that would make it that bit more special! I asked him if he wanted anything and he said he just wanted money for a tattoo but I hate just giving money... I am sure he will get money from everyone else anyway so he can put that towards a tattoo.

    I'm just not sure because it is something he would buy for himself anyway for the wedding, so I don't know if it's a good enough gift?! Although maybe it makes it more special if it's from me rather than him buying it for himself. He also wouldn't have it engraved if he bought it for himself so that adds sentimental value. Hmmmm!

    I hate driving the Lorry in high winds! Large high flat sided vehicle in 50mph winds across the top of the Yorkshire moors is not fun at all! Nor where the 3 people who tried to wipe me out! Really the Lorry is 12ft high, nearly 8ft wide, 28ft long and bright blue and silver! How can you not see it!

    Anyway Lenny (my horse) travelled really well to the vets but got himself a bit sweaty under his rug. Think with 2 horse in (took a friends to keep him company and stop mine kicking hell out of my Lorry) it maybe got a bit warm in there.

    As you know I was dreading it, Lenny has had several lame days over the let 3 months and did seem to struggle during the cold snap.
    However today he proved me wrong and when the vet lunged him he proceeded to cause great hilarity by showing us just how flexible and good he was feeling, he was bucking, squealing, plunging, there were some fairly impressive ninja moves going on too.
    Then the vet assistant tried to trot him up Inhand, well that was just too boring for Lenny and he decided that sideways at the canter with the assistants coat in his mouth was much more fun!

    Anyway the vet injected him with Tilden (an anti arthritis drug, I anti inflammatory and stops arthritis getting worse) which costs £800 a dose (thank good for insurance) and sent me away to bring the lout back into work! Said he was obviously bored and if capable of throwing those ninja moves he can't be in much pain so give the brat something to think about and see how he copes with work and riding!
    I've got a very strict schedule to follow to get him back into work but I'm over the moon with the results so far.

    I spent the rest of the afternoon clipping him ready for his return to work as there was no way on earth he would have been comfy in work with his yeti coat!
    Oh and just because I can here is a photo of the lout from the summer

    Evening ladies.... Been a bit manic this evening.

    Got home and ironing woman came 15 minutes early which is fine. We went straight back out to OHs mums to pick up a parcel and some of OHs mail including a solicitors letter detailing the next court attendance.

    Took OHs mum to work at the hospital ready for her night shift. She's full of cold so didn't want her waiting for the bus.

    Came home again, fed LO, ironing came back, spoke to OH on FTime, washed the dishes and emptied the bins and just done level 3 of the shred!

    Man I'm kn@ckered!

    Bath and bed for me

    Evening all- firstly, Becci I am so sorry to hear about your granda

    Secondly I am soooo livid with OHs brat of a sister that despite being ill walked out his parents house and walks 30 mins home!

    It was his sisters birthday today so we went round- we were invited for t but OH said no as he didn't know what time we would get there- as it was we got there for 7pm just as they were about to start dinner. So OH bought her a racing track day, only stipulation is that has to use it in 3 months, she was like, I'm busy I'm this I'm that I don't know if I can use it, Oh said he woukd take it back and go himself and buy her something else- so sh said no no it's fine- annoyed me anyway

    Then when they were having dinner in the next room I could hear her moaning that I have a cough and she hopes I don't make her ill- at this point I was at boiling point as I didn't want to go but thought I would as its her bday!

    Anyway- suddenly I had this massive coughing fit, and could feel I was about to be sick- I ran upstairs and was- I could hear her moan that it's gross and it's ruined her birthday!

    I came down the stairs git my coat and walked out- I'm livid with the brat- not like I did it on purpose. walked home in silent tears to myself- OH rung and was like why did you do that?! Seriously I said do you need to ask? He still isn't home but he did say he was going to talk to his Mum as its getting ridiculous that his sister- 32 today is such a brat

    If I know she is there I just don't go round- I want a simple life but can't stand her bratty ways and her expecting everyone to run round after her!

    OH well off for a shower and bed x

    Had a good sleep last night and I feel better for it this morning.

    Got another busy day at work today doing my usual monthly tasks so hopefully it will go quick.

    After picking LO up I'm off to my mums to see her new bungalow so that'll be nice

    Then back and need to clean up but that won't take too long!
