26th Dec, Row and Alan to the rescue, Rochdale

Now due to the time difference, we get a TEXT message at two thirty in the morning from the girls asking to Skype,  (thanks girls). For the last year they were going over to Steven's for Christmas dinner, but due to unforeseen stuff?????? that just hasn't happened, the offer of Christmas dinner had to be postponed, leaving them no where to go for Christmas so they planed to have a small lunch on their own.. Now I think Row must have sat on her wand and got it stuck up her ar*e, changing her from the wicked witch of the West, to the good fairy..... (Yea, like I can really see the old bat as a fairy). Not only has she some how managed to broker a peace between the girls, she's also got them round,  with her family, for a slap up Christmas dinner, hence the request for Skyping at such an ungodly hour. I think it was just to prove no one had killed anyone and it was all true. Well, seeing is believing and even with me eyes propped open and me bladder ready to burst, we could see just how happy the girls are. All I can say is thank you Row, Alan, Lou and Jamie, some debt's cant be repaid and may the wand stay well and firmly stuck. (Row, if you print this off and have it framed, I'll burn ya house down)..... So two (now very happy) parents can go back to bed and try and get a good nights sleep.......... what's left of it.

OK, the moods definitely lifted, Lin wants to go check out the shopping centre. Even back home, we never went to the Boxing day sales, but due to the problems of the last few days, we haven't been out and have started to get a little stir crazy. A quick walk with the dog and Lin picks the centre she wants to visit and we're off. I think the sales here are pretty much the same as at home, Bedlam, But I ain't daft, I took me e-reader, This makes life simple. I find somewhere comfy to plonk me bum and read, Lin buggers off to wander the shops without me. This system works well as long Lin remembers where I am and to bring the occasional coffee.... So far, so good, but she's gonna loose me sooner or later, I just know it....

 Two hour, five chapters and two coffees later and Lin's back, and it seems we're at the wrong shopping centre and could we please, please take a trip to the massive, huge, big centre that's only another twenty minutes away. It's only as I hear meself say "yea, no problem" that I realise just how chilled that skype thing with the girls made me. So if we come home broke, you know who I'm gonna punch...

Sorry peops no piccies, too busy shopping lol.......

XX Love to all xxx
