Oh no CeeCee... that must be stressful worrying about your FIL in hospital... was he on holidays? Does he speak French? I can speak a little French but when you are there they speak so quickly its very hard... let alone when you are ill! Keep us updated about him!

Karen: printing out my free ticket now... I wonder if they will let me print out 2??? ETA: Nah... "strickly limited to one per family"... maybe Verity can come along with me (under 14s get in free) and Niall ...and we can leave DH and Wade home together... ETA again! Oh No, can't leave Wade at home! Dorothy the Dinosaur is going to be there, drats, they really know how to suck you in! Oh well... $14 for DH won't be too bad then... we can make a day of it.... oooh just had a scheming thought: we could split into 2 groups and pretend we are 2 families! Is that cheating??? Hmm, it is isn't it? oh well... maybe DH won't want to go anyhow.

Ok... Verity and I are going to cook a raspberry swirl cake... same recipe as the pineapple cake i did earlier in the week but with tinned raspberries folded through the mixture instead... should work... baking warms up the house brrrr still chilly... glad I did all the washing yesterday!
