Mick,I actually traveles 3 hours from Kildare to Lisburn today to get pork(well,thats what I told Shay,really went for shopping,but as they say,the way to a mans heart is through his stomach)for Shays weekend breakfast.Went to Sainsburys,got pork chops,rashers,sausages,sliced ham etc all the forbidden food!!!Not only that Mick,but i done a good grocery shop,spent 175 euro,and we added up tonight compared to Irish prices,the savings.The savings was 95 euro.That was just in one shop.ToysRus!!!oh kids(me) paradise,and again a great savings.I heard on radio today that Ireland is the 3th highest country in the world for living,its a disgrace.I think it is going to be a long time before our ork is seen back on the shelf.What is more upsetting,is,the amount of it that has to be dumped,and the amount of people starving in the world,and heres the Irish dumping 99%of good pork.

Tell Sarah,that she better keep her eyes open for the pig rustelers,I seen a funny caption in ur local newspaper today of our so called leader,Mr Cowan,disguised as a pig,they didnt need to do trick photography for that pic,he just looks the part ul naturel!!

As for Shays job,he has just started into a second job,which in time,once he builds it up,will equal the wage he has been use to with Royal Liver,so thatsgood news,hard doing the 2 jobs at the moment,but make hay as the sun shines,so they say.Thanks for your kind words on that subject Mick.

Well hope we all almost finished with xmas shopping,cant believe its come round again,so quick.Take care,and keep popping in for a chat.

deb

if that s the case ,then who are these two that sarah has locked in the stable block?

drat,my dastadly plan has been foiled,

just watched the new batman film with jake,thwak,kapow,

what a great movie!!!!!!

Snap,we watched it Sunday with boys,great movie,lots of Kapow!!Best Batman to date. How is your precious little grandaughter?Bet your own little ones are all excited for Santa,were would we be without them Mick?Our little ones are hoping for quads and Nintendo ds lites oh and surprises.I have been trying to get Shay back out playing golf for last year or more,he has little confidence in himself as a player,so I have some lessons pre booked for him as part of his gift.One of our older sons has bought him a good set of sticks,so there no excuse now!! Hope all well with you and yours.

Were the girls gone??Rose you must be back by now,hope that visit went well.Mary?Were you gone on us???
