Hello peeps,
I am back and ready to play :) Thanks so much for all your get well wishes, it turned out it was food poisioning I had so no wonder I felt so flipping poorly, but on the bright side at least it wasn't anything contageous thankfully.
Yesterday I had one of my full on rants about how nobody in my house ever cleans up after themselves they all just looked at each other & hubby eventually braved muttering "nice to hear you're better" I'm not convinced he was being sincere lol.

Congrats hunny please email me - moominstacey@live.co.uk your full name and postal addy and I will get your little surprise in the post to you.
It's so wet, windy & cold here I've switched the heating on & I'm going to catch up with bloggy friends and maybe do a bit of colouring. I'm so pleased hubby is off work as that means it's his job to wrap up and walk the dogs, that is of course when he eventually tears himself away from watching what is in my opinion the world's most boring sport, cricket, yaaaaaaaawn lol!
Thanks for stopping by
