Lucielle's daring debt free journey

Verbatim

I went to ask in the amazingly beautiful Assembly Rooms.

Is that in a garden a bit off the beaten track?

Hi L!

I have about 9 huge crowns of rhubarb..d'you want some? Happy to post

Ouch to pregnant dogs. That's not good..what a pain.

Hope the headaches ease soon. Horrid to feel below par.

Take care and look after yourself

Hi there

Washed in a plastic bag probably best - with some kind of shreddings or someat in the box -- or a hugely large jiffy bag again with the root in a couple carrier bags to stop it sweating the envelope too much.

The hen weekend went ok. The hen was in a huff all day Saturday, which was awkward but by the evening she had come out of it. Did a treasure hunt round York, ended up walking 7 miles that day. went to the chocolate factory and made some great things in there. Had a meal in one of Jamie Olivers restaurants, nice. Back at the hotel had some drinks before going to bed. I was knackered as I had to get up at 3 am to rescue sprogs whose taxi wouldn't bring them home. Grrr


Sunday we went to the York Dungeon I ended up having my ear cut off. Then to Bettys tearooms which was excellent. Train home bath and bed.


Had to go and watch the boss in a play last night. It was awful, I'd rather have watched Dulux dry. Still had pizza and stuff beforehand which was ok.


In other news its my DS1s birthday today and He's reached the grand old age of 19. We've not got on very well over the last few months. Had words on Monday night and for now things are ok. He's smoking which I'm not impressed with but as long as I keep finding his fags I'll keep binning them! He has requested a hedgehog cake thought we were beyond that so will have to drag my butt into the village and get some ingredients.

Oh dear to huffy hens and watching the boss.

Happy Birthday to DS - kids always want silly cakes

Hope you have a nice weekend.

When do you break off for easter - we break off tomorrow.

My lot have another week to do and then 2 weeks off. Can't wait, though DD1s lambing job maybe on the rocks.

Hi Lu had to laugh at the hedgehog cake they are funny when they are 18+ but then suddenly revert back to kids again. Hen sounded fun if a bit tiring. How are the pups doing? Hope the headaches have eased off now too.

lucielle

Touch wood headaches have been and gone. Really cross with myself as I had to ge and get ingredients for the ruddy cake and forgot to get the cream to do the icing. Hopefully OH will remember it.

Here's hoping they are gone for good x

OHs birthday been and gone as well. Had a lovely mothers day, choccies off DS1 and DD1. DD2 bought me some pegs, needed some and DS2 made me a smoker!!! Well chuffed with this as we came home from Skye with loads of mackerel, just need to source some oak shavings and then I can have a go! Went to Chillingham Castle, which was ok but I was a bit disappointed with it. Then DS1 treated us all to lunch. Came home and watched films and dvds. Now on the third season of Breaking Bad.

Mum has just moved care homes, so really hoping middle sister behaves herself and gets on with this home. Will phone later and see how she's getting on, though oldest sister did say that when she phoned mum felt like she was a parcel. Hopefully she won't be grumpy, also think I'll go down in May as oldest sister is visiting in April.

Had Dd1s parents evening and mock results. Not great news and really don't know how to motivate her. Honestly I'm finding these older teenage years very challenging. Have got her a weeks work experience in the local vets in the summer holidays. She has started her first days lambing today, see how long that lasts before she falls out with the other girl....

Puppies are just beginning to open their eyes, very cute. The mum isn't as possessive now, so the chaps spend hours cuddling them. Will try and post some pics.

Got to do the annual year end stock take, started it on Thursday but still loads to do and the computers kept crashing.

Hoping to take DD2 to a friends house tomorrow and pinch her pony for an hour or so.

Nearly cleared my cc probably got another month to go then need to start on OHs. Also need to send off for DD1s provisional licence, must do that as I think they've got a back log.
