Football Crazy !!


My little boy had his 8th birthday party this weekend. As he and

all his friends are football mad, I had a wild moment...and invited 9 of his friends

to come with me and his dad to watch the local league side play on Sat.....10 little

fidgeting, hyper, loud, over excited 8 year olds....what was i thinking !!

They had a brilliant time...me and the hubby needed a long lie down Sat

night ....and plenty of wine....and chocolate...
