Saturday - it's the weekend!

Morning readers, 

Had a good week? Got plans for the weekend? Hubby's been away on a training course, he had a fab time and me? Well, I got to do things hubby has no interest in .. like watch soppy movies, craft, shop - you know how it goes! As for the weekend, we should be having guests join us for dinner but their mum/M-i-L is in hospital so plans may have to change, based on how she's doing. We're just staying calm and keeping our fingers crossed for "real mum" right now.
