i'm knickered this morning due to staying up late too "chat" to someone I met at Reading - oh did i not mention that before - early days yet but it's nice to know there's hope for me yet

Erm, don't think you can just drop that little snippet in without elaborating!!!!!!! lol!!!!!! Come on, more info please (and fingers crossed for you as well :T )

Thank you SunnyD & Sistercas, will give the french loaf a try later (assuming I have the ingredients) so we can have it this afternoon/evening.

EssexGirl, glad your OH is alright.
Mioliere, my nan used to try & teach me (as did my aunt), but I end up with 2 knitting needles and around 2' of wool in between them..... Decided my talents lay elsewhere...


My oldest DD is off to enrol at college today... I am so excited for her & it seems to really make me realise how grown up she is now (more so than when she started her saturday job).

Morning all

Hope all is well - haven't read the thread yet.

Had a nice day yesterday - different, but nice.

No special plans for today but must start getting everything in order as work starts again tuesday. what a shock that's going to be!

Catch up later,

Hugs all round.

morning all!

4 days off now for me:j :j :j

Mioliere - what a lovely thing to do for your mum:T xxx

smoky - I'm with everyone else re the headstone x

Tired Mum - hope you have a lovely day out - you really will be a tired mum by tonight!:D

Mrs_Mix:hello:

Catowen:hello:

(((hugs))) to all the poorly ones x

am waiting in for a man to come and fit an airbrick in my lounge - hope it doesn't make too much mess!
I had a great nights sleep last night :j - usually I toss and turn all night but DH gave me a massage with a blend of essential oils given to me by a friend who is trained in this - they were a blend especially for IBS - peppermint, lemongrass, black pepper and I think it was camomile. They worked a treat and I feel great this morning:T I will have to get him to do this more often!:D

DS2 is returning today from a week in Devon so we shall see what the lip piercing looks like:rolleyes: he enrolls at college a week today.

Am peckish now so will pop off for a bit of breakfast.

take care all x

Morning all, I've just caught up on y/day's thread.
SMOKY, I agree with all on here about the headstone, hopefully it will also remind you of how many of us are here for you 24/7 and we have endless gentle hugs for whenever you need them.

SYBIL, Please send a copy of your post to Dr.

AUSSIE, Your skirt looks great, clever clogs.

BEMUSED, Hope DS is improving, try not to worry too much.

I have a pork cass in the SC and BM on, dinner to take to DD2 and SiL 2b.
DD2 phoned last night when she got home from work, she was so pleased and in between tears thanked me for transforming her kitchen. I emptyed every cupboard, cleaned and sorted through and there is so much more space now. It took me from 9.45 till 5.15 but that included oven cleaning and windows, I think I would still be doing it now if it wasn't for Stardrops, Starclean, vinegar, newspaper and Bicarb. I love this OS.

Today I will do their bathroom and ironing. I'll take my new MR Jet stream elite so should wizz through the pile, I haven't tried it yet but have great expectations. I need to pop into curtain shop and buy them some new nets for the sitting room so she doesn't have to wash and rehang the only ones she has in one day. I enjoy doing anything that will ease the stress for her.

DD reached 3 mnths into her pregnancy y/day, so danger period over, thank God, now she feels able to tell everyone her good news.

Just gonna have a coffee and get on.

((((((((((( HUGS )))))))))))) to all.

Morning all :hello:

Feeling a bit more like my old self today. (stop groaning at the back)

Plans for today are to clean kitchen and bathroom, potter in the greenhouse and do a basket of ironing. Tea is pork chops (1 each Diva!!! ) with 10p finest roast peppers and HG tomatoes and HG aubergines and 10p new potatoes.

Also need to file the VAT return online. It's done but I can't seem to commit myself to sending it in case I've made a terrible mistake. :eek:

Moliere... That's a lovely gesture. :A
Janny and Tired mum, enjoy your days out.
Hugs to Beemuzed and your DS.
Stef....ahem.....*insert foot tapping smilie*... tell us more please.
Beth, I'm glad DD has safely reached 3 months. :j
Taplady.... I'm glad your "massage" worked.

Almost forgot... Here is the recipe for the passionfruit muffins;

9oz SR Flour
1 tsp Bicarb
6oz Caster Sugar
1/2 tsp Salt
1 large egg
1 tsp Vanilla essence
9 oz milk
3 oz Veg oil.

Mix the dry ingredients together, then mix the wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Blend together but not too well (it should still be lumpy)

That's the basic recipe. yesterday I added passionfruit (5) but other things we like are

choc chips, raspberry and white choc, blueberry, grated carrot, mixed seeds and lemon curd.

Cook at Gas 5 for 20 minutes. Makes 12 big ones.

Morning all,

Working today. I have just made butter with the children that i mind. They were amazed. They were really got it took 20 mins shaking of a jar. Each will have a nice sized bit to take home.

Need to pop up the allotment again later as i only managed to plant 100 of the onions before DS got bored.

WM is on and a load is already on the line.

I am going to make bread with the children after lunch so they have bread rolls to take home with the butter.

Hopw everyone has a good day.

Hi everyone

I'm not at wo*k again...I did get half way there, but decided my back was too sore and so headed home again. So that's two days without pay thanks to it... I'll definitely be there on Monday come hell or high water, I simply cannot afford to be unpaid.

SisterCas, I'm so jealous of your trip to London. I used to live there and regret leaving. There is so much to see and do, though I have never in my entire life witnessed a sight as spectactular as Lee Mead in a loin cloth:o

Mioliere, what a sad story about your mum's doll when she was a little girl. It's so telling that she has such a vivid memory of that incident all these years later. I hope nobody would ever dream of doing such a thing to a child these days.

Mellika, I'm no expert, but I'm sure you could improvise to get your veggies growing. After all in the olden days there was no such thing as garden centres and the like. I'm thinking along the lines of little pots made out of newspaper,
cloches made out of plastic bags etc. Errr, no I know nothing, but I'm sure some of the regulars on the gardening board will have lots of money saving tips for you if you enquire there.

It's a lovely sunny day here:T so will put some washing out on the line. It's too heavy to carry, so one piece at a time (well, maybe I can manage two socks at a time).

Have a nice day everyone.

morning all :wave:

cloudy here today. might get away with putting washing out, did 4 loads yesterday (DD dropped off 3). Its only OH's muddy jacket from the weekend (you know what bikers are like at rallies rolling round drunk in the mud) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

SMOKY - Thats a lovely idea for the money. And the kids would love that trampoline.

My mind has gone blank again....went shopping yesterday, put shopping away mostly fridge stuff, then promptly put house keys in there too, OH asked if there was something he should know?:rotfl: :rotfl: I have alot going on at the moment, but didnt think i was getting ditzy just yet.....

catch you all later :grouphug:
