Well that's it . . .
We can do no more. It's up to the Dragons on the pitch now. Come victory or defeat, a band of brothers will have a story to tell tomorrow lunchtime. Will they do it? Will Wales beat Les Francais? Honestly, I think they will. Whether they can go any further, who knows? But I think we will at least be in a similarly expectant mood this time next week.
So, enjoy my friends. Enjoy. For The Land Of Our Fathers is on the march and we are right behind them every step of the way.
Peace and Love and lots of penalty and try conversions.

I've been baking cupcakes for little man this afternoon - they're baked and iced, I just have to go and pipe the lettering on them now (when I know what it's to be!) Lots of 9's I think. I also made a sneaky batch of scones - my faves. Hey ho!
Not quite FNWC here (wonky icing will ensue!) but there's a bottle of something pink in the fridge with my name on it, and it ain't a strawberry milkshake!
Love Friday nights - CLP on The One Show .... a perfect start to the weekend.
Right, the icing won't do itself so here I go ....
Have lovely weekends everyone. Yes, you too!

I was gutted for the Welsh, they played really well and as for the ref I will hunt him down and kick his butt!!!
I've had a really lazy day, which is just what was needed. My first free Saturday since 27th August, so I've been catching up on tv, reading and housework!
I do however have a terrible confession to make, and I still feel really bad about it. Today I committed squirrel-slaughter, he just came out of no where and I couldn't stop or swerve and I am afraid he is no more. I feel sick everytime I think about it, poor little thing :( (sorry MTF)
Strictly is very good tonight.

I have been out of touch for the last week as I have been on a course where it was bad enough getting a mobile signal let alone internet connection! It was in this country.......who would have thought. ;-)
I watched the Wales match this morning amd I have to say they was robbed! That said I thought they did play very well with 14 players and could have won it, so well done! I also thought the players and management showed great respect to the officials by accepting the decision with out any backchat to the ref we see all to often on the football pitches.
I have to admit I am getting a little bit excited about the CiN weekend.
Keep smiling

Thinking of you I know how you feel. Back in 1980 I was going through the madness and turmoil of divorce and my lovely Mum who was my best friend died from a sudden massive heart attack. Sometimes life is so cruel and just when we think we can't take any more there's another lot waiting around the corner.
What I'm saying here is that we don't realise just how tough we can be and we do come through it all.
Keep strong!

Well I hope that everyone's had a good day ,I see that the welsh have been robbed ,but played a good game and were graceful with their loss .feel quite sorry for them as they did deserve to win .
The family have left the building and have all gone back to their own abodes ,so i'm just sitting with feet up and feeling a litte jaded .
But I must admit we've had a lovely evening with them all ,and to see the grand children looking more like young men everyday ,and have the bellies of young men.
I feel like I've been in a field ktchen ,what with peeling all those poato's and veg and spent half the afternoon crying peeling and chopping onions,but it was well worth it cos all went well,and everyone went home happy ,need I say more.
aso I have to admit that I've had a few wets tonight ,bt I really do hope that my spelling isn't too bad as I've tried very hard not to make any mistakes ,but one never knows ..

Just having a wee catch-up.
JG: I am so sorry to hear about your Uncle. So very sad, but thank goodness he is not in pain. At these times words just don't say enough, so can I just say I am thinking of you - sounds like you are having a hard time at the moment. xx
AliB: bless the wee squirrel, but I am sure there was nothing you could do. They literally do just jumpy out of nowhere. I hope your wee flash-backs don't last too long - it wasn't your fault. xx
Last week, due to family commitments, I had to inform our lovely Cheryl that I can't attend CiN this year. I am absolutely gutted to say the least. So many people I was looking forward to seeing again, so many people I was looking forward to meeting. And, I was planning to hijack Mr Evans!
Cheryl, thank you for being so understanding - organising something like this must be a complete nightmare at times. xx
Not long until the Big Day for the Radio 2 bloggers, I wonder who I will get when I phone in with my pledge?!
Can I just say: happy birthday Mr Bids! Hope you have a lovely day!
Sezza: I heard Graham yesterday reading your son's text. Graham absolutely loved it, it make him giggle so much!
Last, but certainly not least, what a terrible shame for Wales yesterday. I couldn't watch the game, I would have been too nervous, but I was really sorry to hear the final result - it would seem they really were "done" out of a place in the final.
Hope everyone has a good Sunday.
