Six years......

Six years ago today I left my husband and moved to Scotland with Lloyd.....best decision I ever made. I KNEW it would be better for ALL of us.....and it has been :) We are all so much happier...hopefully even my ex.......

Six years has flown by!

Introducing Goldie.......



Terry and Chris (Lloyds parents) sent Abigail some money for her birthday this week....and as Abby has been talking about getting a fish for a while (just like Franklin the turtle!!) we thought today would be a good day to go and get one....as the older three were busy with friends.....

So we went into town and collected my pictures (wow they came in a BOX I ordered so many...... I've never got a BOX of pictures back before!!!!) and then went to Timmy's for lunch before going to the pet store...

Abigail chose a specific fish she wanted and the sales girl spent ages trying to catch THE one! Finally she got it and we chose a tank and a few necessary bits and pieces.....

Abigail held Goldie in his bag all the way home and spent the ENTIRE journey asking me questions about fish....

Do fish sleep?
Can fish breath without water?
Can my fish have babies?
Do fish hump? (yep she has older brothers so knows all those kind of words yikes!)
do fish poo?
do some fish have big tails?
does my fish need breakfast ,lunch and dinner?

I patiently answered all her questions and she then tells me that I know a LOT about fish :)

So she named her fish Goldie......original huh? I'm not sure how long Goldie will live...I feel a bit like the dentist in Finding Nemo...I feel like I have given this poor fish to that 'child' in the cartoon who is 'over-kind' to fish and shakes them and kills them.........

Poor Goldie........

Sunday and plans change again......

Sunday morning.....I sat in bed reading for a while and we watched a nature show......slowly got up with the plan to wait until Susie got home at 11am and then head into town to pick Laurie up.....

Lloyd spoke to his parents by phone and then I phoned my Mum to find out how she is doing after her op.....she said she had a nice get well card from Lloyds parents.....

After I said goodbye, Laurie called to say he wanted to sleep over at his friends AGAIN tonight........and then Susie arrived home and asked if she could go swimming with her friend AGAIN and then go to their Grandparents in Barrhead for the evening (where is Barrhead???).......and then her friends brother asked Chris if he would like to go too and watch his hockey match......so off they went and won't be home until 9:30pm.....

So it's just Lloyd, Abby, Sam and myself AGAIN today......so we are going out for lunch :) OMG all we ever do is eat out!

Although last night Lloyd cooked at home and made the most gorgeous butter chicken and we had that with garlic naan and poppadums.............boy was it good!

When we go into town for lunch we are going to swing by Coscto and collect the 300 pictures we took to be printed yesterday......Woohoo!! Then while Lloyd is doing our accounts for tax season, I plan to scrapbook our holiday again :)

Tomorrow we pick Laurie up at 11am.....so hopefully we will finally get to spend some family time on FAMILY day......but the kids will be so tired that I think we may just do the family movie thing here at home rather than facing crowds anywhere.

Anyway...off out for lunch now! Byeeeeeee!!!
