Today was fine. Hot again. The blister pads work BTW.

The boy asked at the last minute (i.e. 3 days ago) for basketball gear instead of an Xbox game, for his birthday.

He asked his dad to get him a basketball and I'm supposed to get a top and shorts. Not any old top and shorts. NBA ... Miami Heat ... red or black ... Dwayne Wade.

The only place I could specify all that was footlocker dot com, in America. It was gonna be about $80 :-/ Fuck that.

I eventually found a website in UK with the top, anyroads. Only £20. It'll be late but *shrug*

Got him a webcam today. He's pleased. Don't worry, we've had the 'webcam talk'.

Made him his favourite for tea ... meatballs and spaghetti, with home made sauce. Except I cheated and got M & S passata with added garlic and olive oil. It's waaaaaaaay better than my home made sauce, lemme tell ya. I just added a touch of honey, is all. Major Nom. He doesn't like cakes :roll: *weirdo* so I got him strawberry laces :))

Tomorrow I sign-on for the first time in about 15 years. Bleugh.

Wednesday is pilates and doggies day.

Thursday is Starbux day, and Friday is AquaFit.

Oh yeah. A daft memory ... we used to call Scholls ... Skolls. You had to call them Skolls even if you knew how to pronounce it, or folk would think you were 'up yerself' :)) Anyone who wore them for any length of time - the strap would get a bit loose, their feet would slip through and cling onto the front of the shaped blocks of wood bikini-clogs. How did we manage before flipflops? :P
