[Can it work]

Hi MsM and Sandi

MsM, you asked if there is any GAL possibilities with my IL's. In a sense I suppose the answer would be yes. She has quite a large family and we do get on really well. She has an uncle who told me he's going to start having regular poker nights and I'd be more than welcome to attend. It's not really my thing but I'll definitely go when it happens for the social aspect. Also, my FIL has told me that he'll probably start coming to my house when there's a good football (soccer) game on at the weekends. Now, I think there's a double reason for that one. We do enjoy each other's company but the fact of the matter is that I have the sports channels in high definition where he doesn't. Still, it's a nice thought.

Sandi, I won't deny I was slightly disappointed by the way my W signed my card but at the same time I didn't expect anything from her so it was a pleasant surprise. I never really believed that she'd sign it with love and kisses but there's always that small voice of hope at the back of the mind.

I've had a really busy weekend. I had a birthday night out on Friday with some friends and really had a good night. Then on Saturday, 2 of my best friends got married so I was at that. A really good wedding by all accounts. Not as good as mine was obviously but good all the same. I am just slightly biased in that respect though.

I do think the weekend has taken it's toll though. I have a really sore throat this morning and I'm fairly sure I have a cold coming on. I've got a busy week at work planned too so it is going to be a tad inconvenient. I'm sure I'll live though.

I was down at my W's house yesterday morning to pick up the dog which she'd been looking after while I had my busy weekend. Obviously I was desperate for a cuddle from Wee Man too. I swear he's developing more and more every time I see him. Anyway, I got my big cuddle and a snotty kiss (think I know where my cold's come from!!). When I went to leave, he started crying really hard. Again, it was heart-breaking but it may also be serving a purpose to make my W think a bit more about what we're doing to that poor wee guy. No matter though, it's still not nice to hear.

Right, I'd better go and get to work. Like I said, a lot to achieve this week.

Keep smiling everyone.
