Am still alive honest

Well that's end of 2nd week of summer hols and am fed up already...The weather has been so up and down...One day glorious sunshine, the next pouring down rain, the next dull and muggy, then back to sun again...If you watch the golf at carnoustie then you'll have a rough idea of our weather...We're about an hours drive north of there LOL...My car is in the garage...It's been in the garage since last thurs, as in not yesterday thurs...Really annoying not having the car as it means we can't go north to visit or south to visit K...Garage man is beginning to think the part is being sent direct from citreon factory in damn France...He gave me a loan of one on tues evening so i could take G paintballing on wed...Then i got another one to go take him home...He's giving me a loan of another one tomorrow for a few days...My mobile went capput on me too...It had been going weird for a couple of weeks and did it in town on tues...I was just beside the mobile shop when it happend LOL...Popped in and i was due an upgrade anyways so got a new phone...Gave M the old one as it is the robbie williams one...Guess what...Yeah it is working FINE for him grrrr...I liked my flip phone and they had no flip phones i was allowed to upgrade to for free <sob>

G really enjoyed the paintballing...Some of the lads in his year and in the year that just left school organised it and asked if he wanted to go along...First time he has ever done anything with the mainstream kids in his school outwith school...Only taken FIVE years but hey ho...Took about an hour to get to the site...It's a relatively new one only having been opened just over a year ago...Cheaper than the one i know that is closer and not as much to offer...But they all enjoyed it which is main thing... We may look into it for his 18th next year instead of a party...Dunno yet as it would eliminate a few of his friends from celebrating...We'll see...Both the boys have been invited to an 18th in sept...It's at one of the local bowling alleys but is from 7-midnight...So i'll see how that goes because if it goes well then i may consider there for a party instead...So family and all friends can come along...I do feel bad though as K never had a party for her 18th...She's 21 next year too...If she doesn't want a party then i may just give her the dosh instead...YES darling i KNOW you are reading this, i don't know what i will do for EITHER of YOU yet <ggg> It's all musing and ponderings for now :o)

Last week on tues the boys went to playscheme...That is only day they were able to go...Having seen the group they were in with i am kinda glad they aren't going along...Very less able and not all their usual group...Reason they can't go the rest is that their Triple A team is meeting on a tues...They are making a film in conjunction with a local cinema...It's a cinema that doesn't just show new films but old ones and foreign ones and arts type ones...Much more fun than playscheme by a mile i can tell you...That is all they have on though...G may be going karting at some point...They were talking about doing that when they were paintballing...The karting place here closed about a year ago...The whole area it was in was flattened so BP could build new headquarters...But they have now reopened elsewhere...£25 is cheapest price for karting but G is paying for it himself like he did with paintballing...So up to him how much he spends...M is over the moon as he got his acceptance letter for his link course at college yesterday :o) ...It doesn't say which subject out of his choices he has been allocated for the first session...Presume that school will let them know as they are back at school before the link course starts...Better go and see about tea but do click on the link below...This has been on the scottish news today i don't know if it has been on the funny end story on national ITV news but it is hilarious
