Hello

Not had a great day today at all however I have:

1. Worn my new winter hat
2. Listened to my book on CD in the car
3. Had a long chat with a good friend
4. Playing with my DD
5. Just heading to bed now with a good book

The sun'll come out tomorrow..........

Evening everybody - cold and damp here tonight .

bails - wow - lying on the roof looking at a blue sky and feeling warm - you lucky lady. Hope your Tibetan lesson went well .
bunny too - aaahh not just my son who can clear a biscuit jar in one sitting then :rolleyes:! On the other hand, if he didn't - I'd be wondering if they weren't up to standard .
Louba - well done on your OH making a Mars Bar Cake :T.
zippychick - we haven't been able to bring ourselves to get another cat yet - not sure that OH will ever want another as he was so heartbroken at the time. He's asthmatic and T-T's fur used to aggravate his breathing but he used to just use his inhalers and deal with it. In fact T-T was asthmatic too and I always said they triggered each other :rotfl:. Can you tell me please, what is 'skittles' Vodka - sounds like a bottle of voddie with a pack of 'skittles' floating in it - but surely it can't possibly be THAT simple . Wtg on your cooking marathon .
billy858 - definitely feels like hibernation time, doesn't it - hope you managed to get some whoopsies at the supermarket. Good luck with the half-marathon.
grandmasam - well done on your solar light strings - they sound lovely and should really brighten up your garden at this time of year.
Kitchenbunny - what a great organised day/evening - wish my chaotic life could be more like that.
ACEY - Now just hang on a minute here - what are you and grandmasam doing right, that I'm doing wrong! Both asked out on dates - I don't know - can't let you two loose for five minutes . :T you had the exact same meal as we did on Sunday evening - including the carrots and leeks .
Rummer - You sound as though you need a . Hope you enjoyed reading your book in bed tonight and remember that tomorrow's ...............only a d-a-y a-w-a-a-a-a-y .
Patchwork - lol at your 'smelly lunch'. I love kedgeree, but I don't 'do' smoked anything - I like it with tuna . Oh the joys of being the mother of teenage sons .

Mine for today are:

1. Feeling bad at having to tell folks our trip is off, but they do all understand.
2. DD rang to say that dgs1 kicked up a fuss at the school gates this morning, but that his new teacher had arranged a 'buddy' to help settle him in and that he was actually smiling when she left the building.
3. Oh dear - one in school and one out again! DD had a phone call to say that dgd1 had been sick in school and could she come to collect her. What a blessing that DS1 had just left here in his van and could be phoned for help. He collected her from school and delivered her to her mother before 'it' happened again!
4. First attempt at making Pumpkin Soup (in SC) has been declared a resounding success by OH :j. Just waiting for it to cool down enough to be 'whizzied' then it can be portioned up for the freezer - though I may need to leave some out for lunch tomorrow.
5. Lunch today was HM Leek and Potato Soup with crusty bread - a real blessing on a cold, wet, windy day.
6. Had to rescue wheelie bins from the middle of the road today due to the winds blowing them over once they'd been emptied. Gave me an opportunity for a chat to a neighbour that I don't often see when I returned hers to her driveway.
7. Been looking for recipes for roasting pumpkin seeds and found these: http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/Roasting-Pumpkin-Seeds/Detail.aspx - so will have a go tomorrow though may need to let them dry out for a couple of days first.
8. dgs1 came out of school smiling at 3.00pm and said he'd had beefburger for school dinner today :rotfl: - wonder what tomorrow will bring .
9. Going to have a hot drink and slice of Banana Loaf and then take myself off up to bed for a read of my book.

Nitey nite all - sleep tight - love Ollie xxx

My five for Monday:

1. Yes, I think reading the posts on here is helping me focus on the positive again too. I find myself smiling at other peoples pleasures (and remembering mine that I'd forgotten) Thank you.

2. We sorted out a coat stand to go in the kitchen. This is important because it means that all the coats have got taken off the temporary over-the-door hooks on the kitchen door (there had been nowhere else to hang them and we can't attach hooks to the walls)... and this means that the door will now shut... and this means that we can cut off a significant amount of heat loss to the rest of the house because the kitchen is by far the coldest room in the house and this means that we should save some more money!

3. Sunshine.

4. A really positive phone call with a customer care person sorting out a difficult situation which will hopefully result in me getting a refund. It was all very civilised and grown-up and I think I might get the result I want.

5. Catching up on the Archers on iplayer.:rolleyes:

Sleep well everyone.
