Its her 13th on the 6th Feb & she's asked for 2 fish in a tank!!! My darling hubby decided to get a tank big enough to put a blinkin dolphin in...lol but she loves it, so its all good...

What A Numpty!!!!

Well we have snow & lots of it, fabulous stuff...Just not sure about Nige drivin his wagon in it, I sit here all day worried silly!! Thankfully he has got tomorrow, friday & the weekend off!! He booked tomorrow & Friday off so we could go Crimbo shopping without the girlies, mmmm that might not be happening lol.....the girlies school is closed!!!

Anyways on with todays card, my friend from school phoned me the other night to say she was coming up to see us on Saturday for a few hours (maybe not now lol) but my reason for this card, her mom has broke her leg lololol yeah I know its not funny really (poor love x) but how she did it is! She went to the pub, had a few to many (ok a lot) & was walking home & thought the curb was smaller than it was so stepped off it & because the road was further away than she thought she just fell over & couldn't get up again. He partner was just shouting at her to get up!! But she couldn't, he just thought it was cus she was drunk..ooops poor love!! He eventually called for an ambulance! I just think its sooooooooo typical of her, I've known her since I was about 11 & shes never been any different! What A Numpty!
