    Afternoon all
    2 hour counselling session done, and I feel absolutely exhausted!
    Have flung a chicken and chorizo stew in the SC , DD will be home around 7 so it should be ready, and if I nod off won't be burnt to the bottom of the pan! Off to find some coffee before I crash, otherwise will be another sleepless night if I nod off now!
    RIP Iain

    ((((hugs)))) Jools.

    I'm shattered. Ive been running round after 7 and 8 year old boys this afternoon. My son popped in to see me and bought his two boys.

    I forget how hard work young children are. I need a sleep now.

    I had to smile at the youngest. He walked into my living room and said 'you know how to look after your house Nan'. I think he meant it was tidy.:D

    The 'Girls' ran off upstairs. They couldnt take the pace.:rotfl:

    Such beautiful children. Your daughter is amazing judi.

    I almost had a similar spice disaster today, but not as bad as cumin in porridge! My children think it's highly amusing to rearrange my spice rack (it's alphabetical) so I always have to read labels properly.

    I also forgot to add ginger to my apple and rhubarb pie.

    Evening all (sounds like Dixon of Dock Green :):)) good day all round,got Mount Ironing out of the way, and Dd arrived tonight and departed with a big box of her favourite biscuits that I made for her.Then I sat and watched Scott and Bailey (one of my favourite at the moment ) just going off to bed for a read now.
    Also had a breakthrough on the genealogy front and found a missing cousin that I had been searching for since 2005.I facebooked her DD and I have my fingers crossed that she spots my message and replies.If not then its a case of snail-mail to the cousin.She apparently moved away to Weymouth years ago and lost contact with the family (my late OH's paternal tribe)so I'm hoping that I can put them all back in touch again
    Hope you've had a better day Jools <<hugs>>
    Cheers chums
