Default Getting out of dodge

Oh yes, that's right. Flight leaves in 10 hours.
This time tomorrow I'll be on the sofa in front of an open fire, eating prawn cocktail crisps and bakewell tarts, watching Gillette Soccer Saturday and maybe a spot of rugby - marvellous.

Its time to P.A.R.T.Y

My husband got back from Ireland yesterday.

When he was going through security at Shannon airport...they pulled out a disposable razor from his luggage and asked him to remove the blade. He said....'it's a disposable razor'...'I can see that...can you remove the blade sir?' The same conversation went on for about 5 mins.

He brought me lots of Cadbury's back...those nice big, thick choccy bars and some English magazines. OMG I'm feeling so homesick right now...where's that razor.

Aye - I have to go through Shannon on the way back for some reason which adds 3 hours to the flight.

Where in Ireland was he ??
Did he not bring you back any lemon chocy bars ???

Yep - staying with mum and dad in my old room

I usually think its a bit daft to post on here when I'm away but seeing as I'm meant to be doing some work whilst I'm over there I may pop in from time to time to stir the pot a bit
