WOW we have sun!!!

We have sun today am in shock LOL...Ok sometimes it has gone to hide but it has been really warm even when sun was hiding for a few mins :o)...Hope it is like this tomorrow as we have a BBQ at the saturday club the boys go to...It is the last club before the summer hols and youngest has decided he is going for the BBQ...He won't eat anything but he will go over and boss them about whilst they are cooking...

Daughter went away for the weekend to scottish youth parliament meeting somewhere in glasgow...She is standing for an executive position again so fingers crossed she gets one this time...Last time she didn't but there was something fishy about the vote count...Event though she is leaving here to go to uni she will still represent the same area as she did before...She really enjoys being in the SYP and it has been good for her...She has met other young people age 14-25 from all over scotland and has friends all over the country...This does mean i rarely get to use the phone anymore like...They are none political but they do bring youth issues more to the attention of the actual scottish parliament :o) ...Before she left the post arrived and there was good news for her...My post was phone bill and rubbish mail LOL...Hers was news about her student loan application...It didn't say how much her actual loan will be nor when she will get it but it did say she will get the full bursary and the payment dates for that...So as she is getting the bursary then i would presume she will be getting the loan too...Also if the loan is late in being paid at least she will have some money at the beginning of each term...

I went to the gym again then went into town...Went and picked up the dress although still not sure if i will actually wear it nor fit into it properly LOL...Had a wander about and ended up in index to see what they have as it is closing down...Got a CD holder that is also a floor lamp for the boys room for half price...Saw a glass shelving unit i would like also half price but didn't have money to get it today...My dragons would look good on it though especially if i put a light at the bottom shining upwards...Maybe if they still have one left next week i could get it will have to wait and see...To be honest they don't really have that much off the original prices considering they are closing down...I heard that argos had taken over a lot of the index stores but as their is an argos in the same centre then ours wasn't one of them...I checked the prices of things i thought would be useful for daughter having for uni but the discount wasn't good enough for me to bother...I sound such a skinflint LOL but hey if it's in a sale and you can get cheaper in asda anyway then no point...Also finally got one of the make poverty history bands i've wanted one for ages just every time i tried the body shop or oxfam they had none left at the time...Was really good and resisted a cappucinno but only because i have BBQ tomorrow LOL...

In answer to stuarts comment yesterday a man would be nice but a man who loved ironing would be heaven <gggg> and ladies if i ever find one i'll hire him out for a good rate of course ROFL...Toodle Pip xx

An ironing man is simply a mythical creature.
