Hehehe!!!

Oh i am so going to be shot for putting this in here but i have to...After all parents are supposed to embarass their teenagers aren't they <G>...Yesterday daughter went into town to meet a friend...Her friend was late and whilst she was waiting for her she spied a few labour people wandering around and chatting to people...Jack Mcconnell she said looked bored and went over to talk to her!!!...He recognised her from somwhere he said...Now my daughters opinion of him isn't very high...In fact her opinion of him is probably about down at the bottom of the nearest muddy bog LOL...She said yes he had met her before once and scottish youth parliament meeting and other time when young carers were down at scottish parliament and she spoke to him then LOL...So he then got his colleague over who is MSP for abdn central...Saying i have your equivalent here from the youth parliament LOL...He recognised her too but again didn't know where from...She told him local young carers group...He said oh yes so it is...So these guys who were supposed to be here campaigning for marginal seat in south abdn ended up talking to someone who is not old enough to vote yet as her birthday isn't until later in the year...She is highly embarassed and said it wasn't fair as she had to be nice & polite to Jack McConnell as they are still waiting for their funding for youth parliament...Speaking of the election when in city centre today there was quite a few rather attractive youngish men in black suits with yellow ribbons out on campaign trail...Have no idea who they were but if they had been for my area i might have been tempted to vote for them...Only because they were dishy looking <G>...Mind you wouldn't if they were tory not even if they looked like mel gibson or keanu reeves...So see i can be extremely shallow LOL...Also speaking of election i have not moved house for 18 years but i have now lived in 3 different parliamentry seats LOL...My side of street i live in used to be abdn south, the other side of street was abdn north, talk about living on the boundary LOL...Then abdn was divided into 3 and i became abdn central...Now it is back to 2 seats again and am in abdn north!!!...Safe labour seat though...

Was ever so good this morning...Once youngest left for school i went to the gym...I really need to make an appintment for induction to the weights type machines now...I like the treadmill!!!!, ilike rowing machine...The cross trainer thingy makes me feel seasick so i avoid using it...The cycling machine is hard on my knees just now so am also avoiding it...So today i did 20 mins on treadmill for first time ever that long and felt fine doing it...Then i went and did 30 lengths of the pool and then lounged in jacuzzi for 5 mins LOL...You know i always hated the idea of using a gym but decided to join this new one last august whilst cheap offer was on...I suppose i was quite sporty at school as i played for school hockey team, did volleyball and also swam for the school...Swimming i have always loved...I really love being in the water...Even done synchronised swimming in the past for a couple of years (don't laff it's incredibly tough to do)...I haven't tried scuba diving, rowing or sailing yet...Would like to have a go at scuba diving sometime but the other 2 think will give a miss...Windsurfing, water skiing and canoeing are fun...Would love to go white water rafting...Eldest lad has done that and really enjoyed it...

After gym i came home to drop off the car (15 mins to find a parking space <sigh>) and pick up daughter...We went into town and got a bag for her prom...Now it's home not so sure it matches her shoes...Got her a pretty necklace that matches earrings she already has...Just need a bracelet now and i think that is everything sorted for next tues...Oops no need to get hair appointment for her...She's grown it longish again so she can have it put up and we got a hair thingy that matches necklace and earrings...A friend of hers phoned last night to say she had been put beside a whole table of girls who don't like her for the meal at prom duh!!!...But he's got it changed so she's at same table as him and some other lads she's friends with...Her initital reaction to being told she was at other table was 'oh well at least i will be the prettiest one at the table' LOL...Got hydro electric coming round to change meter to a new one in morning so will phone social work whilst waiting then go to gym later in day...Better go make myself look busy now and make some tea...toodle pip xx
