Hi Carol oh so happy you had a lovely time that garden centre sounds very good sells everything just like the one I go to with the Monday blind club and also that one Anna used to take me to. Yes everything's expensive in garden centres I have noticed that too. Oh that plaque you got for your Julie very good I'm sure she will like it. Glad you got plant. Glad you had sandwiches and chocolate cake even more yummy of course. Well I had a good chill out day and enjoyed my sausage with chips and mushy peas from the chippy and yummy aero mousse as well as chocolate cake with a cuppa this afternoon. Will have something with the soaps but not sure what yet. I had a lovely surprise. I had a phone call from Barbara she's still taking me out with Sarah and Karen on Wednesday as we arranged how cool I'm really looking forward to that. We hope to go walking somewhere and then have lunch out so let's hope it's nice weather. If it's raining though we could go tenpin bowling how cool I will suggest that as I'm so determined to get out with them no matter what and of course it's my free week with no clubs so that's worked out well. That's why we arranged to go out on that week. It makes more sense than going on my busiest week doesn't it? Anna replied to my text I sent her earlier she and Keith are on their way to Edinburgh for the weekend to see the tattoo and the castle not bad going. OH they so lucky they get lots of holidays but shame they not so lucky with the weather this time but I know it won't bother them so much. Well enjoy the soaps as I will. Have a lovely time at your Julie's tomorrow as always. We have no plans for the weekend so just chilling out. Oh yes I'm very excited the x factor will soon be back too so I will listen out for the adverts as they should soon tell us what date it actually comes back. Not nice weather again typical. It says the same for the weekend too. Hope you enjoyed that yummy stew. Love Clare xxxx
