    I'm sure a wee weak Pimms wouldn't harm the Bean but Hubbles goes ballistic if I even sniff a glass of wine or beer or something :(

    The stuff I've made is non-alcoholic. It's pseudo-Pimms. (it's really iced tea + lemonade & fruit)

    It's quite refreshing actually. Even DD is downing it :D

    I've taken a note of the recipe and am going to give it a go. Might dilute half with lemonade and half with soda as I don't have a very sweet tooth...

    They're actually quite well padded and really soft so I could walk miles in them. Perfect for shopping at the weekend:p

    Thank again I have been known to take the odd stoll in 4inch heels...:rolleyes:

    afternoon from my garden. I love my new internet dongle as it means I really can be on the internet anywhere!! Got the extension cable in and just sitting beside my newly dug veggie patch. I need to still plant out the seedlings but thougth would catch up with everyone first.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Hey all,
    Last weekend working for the next 3 woohoo!!!!
    It was sooooo hot in the store (and out!) I was AMAZED by the amount of people that STILL came in! SADDOS! GO HOME! HAVE A BBQ!

    sheesh.

    Now at home with kids and feeling rather fed up-I had a horrific nights sleep-first of all, some !!!!!! was riding around my street and the surrounding areas in a VERY loud bike between 3 and 4 AM and then I had a horrible dream that Freya drowned in the bath! Isn't that awful! I woke myself up telling myself it was a dream but it was still completely appalling.

    I'm really not sure what's going on with OH-he's making no effort what-so-ever and I am feeling increasingly worried that he thinks things can just go back to the way they were...I also feel a bit stupid saying anything because I feel like a bit of a failure as it is. To be honest, Im fed up about most things-IF I have a night off, I have the kids and therefore can't do anything-If I don't have them, I have no mates to do anyhting with ANYWAY. Last night was crap-sitting alone at home listening to the nieghbours have BBQ's and i felt very sorry myself.


    Sorry for the moan.

    Hey bunny, sorry you're feeling crap.
    Have a water fight with the kids - great fun

    When my sis moved up to Newcastle she got onto a website called Friends North East for local people.
    Is there anything like that near you?
    look on netmums too for local stuff!
