Before I get started today, a few little plugs for other blogs I've been reading recently.

First of all, Rich's latest blog about the MP expenses stuff - I thought it was pretty brilliant.

And also, the Trev and Simon blog, blast from the past kids TV gold, and even better they've started making a podcast which is always random and mad and makes me laugh.

And now onto my blog which probably won't be half as interesting as theirs.

Last night turned out different to the way it was planned. The Eurovision party didn't happen quite as planned, but I did watch Eurovision and also get to spend the evening with Lauren which was brilliant because she's one of my all time favourite people. I wish we'd lived together right through Uni, my second year house despite the disturbing nature of our other housemates, was one of the funnest times of my life. And the disturbing nature of our other housemates has given us enough stories to dine out on for the rest of our lives!!

The rest of yesterday was nice, had a really good sleep Friday night which doesn't happen all that often, so lovely lie in yesterday morning. And then went off to Gemma's birthday party. She is so big now, I can't believe in 2 weeks she'll have an actual real life baby. It seems a bit mad. It seems like only 2 minutes since she told us she was pregnant. Anyway, we did some predictions about the baby and I said it would be born I think on the 4th June (due 31st May), it would be 8lb4oz, blue eyes, dark brown hair, boy and born I think I said at 3.27am. Something like that anyway, can't quite remember!

This morning I was supposed to be going to aerobics with Suzie but she needs to get ready for her brother's wedding next week so we didn't. Then we were going to go to aqua aerobics tomorrow night but I'm having my hair cut then so that's not happening either. I'm hoping we can go to aqua soon though, I've been wanting to give that a go for a while. Plus I think I need to get a bit fitter. I don't do too badly, I do my dancing on a Thursday and after the holidays I might start the toning class she does just before it, and I join in with PE lessons at school quite often, and we do dancing in the classroom sometimes when I need to get the ants out of their pants. But I think it would be good to do some real cardiovascular stuff, keep me a bit more healthy. I wish I could do running really but I just hate it. I'm so bad at it and don't enjoy it so I never go out and do it. That's the main reason I'm not doing race for life this year, which I do feel a bit guilty about because I've done it every year since we lost Elizabeth, and I have raised quite a lot. But I'm hoping to do some kind of fundraising for Cancer Research UK at some point this year instead so I will still be doing something.

Oh, another couple of funny links before I go... McFly were on the JLC show this week which I watched, and honestly, I have rarely laughed so much. It was just so ridiculous and funny, and they giggled all the way through, it was brilliant. So here are the links to both parts...

Enjoy!
