It's been a while!

Why? This is the first time in a long while that I've not had anything that urgently needs doing! The boys have a few days off school so I've taken a few days off too, for no reason whatsoever. However it is very hard to force myself to do nothing and not think of it as wasting precious time.
Hubby, Allan is at work, Fraser is away to the pitches with his pals, Gavin is out playing with his pals and Robert is on his iPod -this sounds like a Tweet. In fact I stumbled upon the Twitter blog which is how I ended up here.
It would have been Elaine's 45th birthday tomorrow. Loobs is on a ski trip and Karl & June are on their honeymoon! They got married EK last weekend. It was a lovely day and Karl had pulled out all the stops. Do you know what? Elaine would have wanted him to, their wedding was on a shoe-string and Elaine always talked about if they were to do it again it would be all singing and dancing. Of course they didn't get the chance but, although it was difficult at times, well done to Karl and June (and Laura) she would be very proud. Cousin Alan's speech was perfect too, clever that he got us all crying without actually spelling out why. Also very funny, in the car the other day, Gavin said that Alan was his favourite man as he was very funny and he really enjoyed his story about the helmets and staple guns! Sorry Allan - I'm sure he's just mixing 'favourite man' up with 'best man'.
