    Will be supporting Wales trying to enter the WC on Sunday.   As a republican activist, having foodbanks and celebrating a very wealthy family, doesn't feel right, but as the Queen say's carry on and have a nice weekend.

    yes I'm not a big fan of the monarchy really but have not developed my views that strongly - I tend to not pay much attention - but glad of the holiday time

    Good luck Wales

    The own brand versions of Pimm's are pretty good too in my opinion @Geegeenumber1, so that's another option if your mum ends up getting a taste for it!

    lol I hope not she got a taste for cocktails thanks to me buying her them when we were out (and i used to work making them in a cocktail bar) and now she expects them when she comes round/ out
    Ive got an off license of spirits, mixers, frozen fruit, cherries umbrellas lol

    i dont think many people treat their mums way i do but she deservces it @tori_scope

    Wel, I asked the family if they wanted a bbq and they wernt enthusiastic, I'm glad in a way means less hassle for me. So I think a quiet one maybe.

    Glad you got the chance to see your husband @marybottomley
    We had an unexpected bbq yesterday, after family chats we have decided to all go for a walk on Saturday, not that often we can all get together.
