Good morning louise Monday 03/04/06 7-30am believe it or not the sun is actually shining at last.Mums gone to school Bills just come taken your car on to the drive for its warm up!!
What a weekend Saturday afternoon went to Alisons with mum for the hair treatment had mine cut as well.Got the full treatment had it washed massaged.had to be careful they asked what I
wanted which colour no thanks just cut please I said had visions of coming out with a mass of red hair.
From Alisons went to Renes to get ready for the surprise Birthday party for Margaret she is now seventy!!!
It was held at Newton Heath cricket club and Gemma and Mark met us there. You should have seen Margarets face when she walked in. Imagine all 40 of the family and friends singing Happy Birthday it must have been a shock to her as we met her earlier at Alisons, she was having her hair done as well. She said she was going to the club at night for a change and asked us would we like to go Mum said we had arranged to go out with Ted and Alison and could not make it.A close call.
The club was about twice the size of our lounge and it was heaving
The noise fom the disco was horrendous we spent the night shouting at each other.We left at about 11.30 and got a taxi to Renes where we stayed the night. Sunday morning Rene made us gammon and eggs for breakfast it was great.
We finally got home Sunday afternoon and did the crossword with Ted and alison I went to bed shattered
Spoke to Ben last week and invited him to come over but he was about to leave for Spain said he would come this weekend when he got back looking foreward to seeing him.
Ailsa has now finished at Uni. for Easter she keeps flipping in and out appears to be enjoying herself with her new pals at the same time occasionally seeing Tom at home.She is still working in the night club and is being paid great.
Glad you are still having a ball out there down under in Oz.
Every morning I turn the computer on to look at your message board getting quite a computer wiz kid if only!!!
look after yourself all our love Mumand Dad xxx.
