    Hello to all,

    Well I hope everyone is well, I shall read back in a moment!

    It's throwing it down here...just come out of hospital after a lovely weekend stay, I got admitted on Thursday due to my stomach, they believe I have an ulcer but I've got to have an endoscopy to make sure *eeek* not looking forward to it at all, mum said she's had one and they do offer sedation so I will be having some of that me thinks, but they let me out as I hate hospitals and was getting so worked up over it my blood pressure was rising so they let me come home but said I would be back in within the week!

    We popped into Asda on the way home, managed to get the birds eye offer which was good! So just got to wait to hear when they want to admit me for the next stage...oh joy!

    *hugs to all*
    Jo

    Hi there all

    I 'm back ..have had my dinner and it was exceptional but dont tell DH,,I really enjoyed it

    I did not get around to washing the car ,, the rain stopped that ,, it has not stopped for hours,, and we are still laying the verandah,,but the gazebo is over the top of most of it ,, I will probably be in the bit with no roof,, getting wet of course..

    I should make some hobnobs as DH really likes them ,, give him a treat ,, he also love the iced buns but I cant make both or we will get really fat,, we need to lose weight now

    See you later

    Maybe it's time he was told was a &*(^^ he is??;)

    Let him shout and bawl all he wants, just stand there don't react, and then say, well if the cap fits . . . .

    That would be me.

    Candygirl. If you saw the boat you wouldn't think it was posh. :D Anyway... Why the rotfl smilies at the thought of me being posh? :confused::p;):D:o

    OH went to the dump again and took Dtwin2. They came back with what looks like a brand new Mams and Papas pram which I have found out costs £110 new. :eek: Why people dump these things I don't know. :confused: Dtwin2 wants to use it for her dolls but it's too big for her so I will stick it in the paper this week. :D Any money made will go to her to buy a proper dolls pram. ;)

    So much for the lazy Sunday.:rolleyes: I've spent the day in the kitchen making the pot roast, lemon muffins, carrot cake muffins and juiced and pressed hundreds of pears and apples for my first batch of HM cider. :j

    Just having a little rest before I serve dinner at 6ish. I am still in my jammies but I have got washed. ANd it's nearly wine o'clock. :D

    Haribo x

    Ps. Hope you're feeling 100% soon Jo.

    I did it the hard way. :rolleyes: It was easier than trying to persuade Himself. :cool: Anyway. He's too busy bringing more stuff back from the dump than he takes. :rolleyes:

    Following on from yesterday's hair dying fiasco, I went into town this morning and bought a lightening kit, (yes I do have visions of this going horribly wrong) :D .
    I also managed to pick up 9 cans of Mitchum deodrant for a very small sum thanks to the Boots thread and a tub of intensive conditioner for when I turn her hair into straw.
    Back to the hair, I've just been into the bathroom to get a towel to cover Miss Twit's neck and noticed that I didn't rinse the bath properly yesterday and I've now got brown blotches on my white bath :eek:
    Oh well, maybe the bleach I'm about to use will get rid of the marks when I rinse it off :whistle: if not, I'll blame the cat.

    I will update you all with progress.
