Hello:D

Haven't been around for a few days, so I'm not up to speed with all the news, sorry. Been having a lovely few family days, with an enormous family get together on Saturday, some not seen in 20 years:eek: Enormous fun, and promises not to leave it so long again:o

Belated Birthday wishes mioliere, sorry I missed sending them on the right day. Glad you had such a nice one:D

Happy Anniversary to the whatatwits I shall be having words with Aussie for misquoting you ( I'm sure it's much better, practice makes perfect and all:rotfl: :whistle: :whistle:

Aussie, well done on the chooks:T What did you do, threaten them with the pot if they didn't get down to laying straight away:rotfl:

catznine, sorry about the card and your dental appointment. Hope you can contain the pain until tomorrow.

mrs mix, glad you escaped hospital:j Now don't go trying to do too much, but yes a breath of fresh air will do you good:D

I've got washing blowing on the line and another load just finishing, and while it's not as bright as earlier I'm hopeful it will all get dry.

Did loads of OS at the end of last week, but having a bit of trouble motivating myself today. Washing I can cope with, just bung it in the machine and tada ....it's doing. I do have to bake some cupcakes today because I promised littlest greatniece a cake with a piggy on the top. She LOVES pigs, and that was even before Peppa pig was on the scene. I'm beginning to wish I hadn't made such a rash promise, will have to put my thinking cap on for ideas how to decorate it:think:

One quick coffee then off I go.


Nearly forgot! Shez where are you, I've waved between the rain, did you see me?:D

Hope everyone is well and having a good day. I have been fighting with my 'puter all morning cos it decided it hated IE and kept logging on when I was halfway through posting on here.

So, please insert a few amusing comments and stories here as I have written them out a couple of times already and haven't the energy to write them for the 3rd time!!

Ok, now you are all smiling...:p

Well, Ive just picked a load more blackberries from the end of the garden - they've been great this year. DH is regretting cutting some of the brambles down earlier this year; we'd have a load more if he'd left them! I have to decide what to do with them - I'm fed up with crumble now!

KathyXX

Kathy, you are very lucky, oh and I were picking for ages yesterday and did not get that many, the few i got I have just started off for some blackberry and apple jelly, need to get some more sugar when I am out for the school run, and will then finish off and put in the jars, hope it works, have never made jam before.

Poppy, well done to you both, I hope it brings everything you wish for xx

Hugs to sammy xx

Alibobs, hello

Hugs to Candy and your dd, he sounds like a waste of space xx

Thanks for the good wishes for dd, I have not had a phone call from school so she must be ok, I also realised that she had a can of coke yesterday, which is something we never normally have, perhaps this caused the migraine

Well I have been busy (you can tell I feel better ) I have stardropped and vinegared the lounge, pulling chairs and sofa out washed the walls down, bicarbed the carpet, and hoovered throughout, three loads of washing done and on the line, nearly dry :T , and started my jam off, , also done the veg and pots for tea, will go and put meat in the oven in a while.

Pottered a while in the garden, and noticed I have french beans coming :T , I thought I might have planted a bit too late, but it seems I am ok, looking forward to eating them.

Going to have a surf for an hour before the school run, hugs to all xx

Afternoon all,
I haven't been on here for a while due to one thing or another. Had to take DF, who has been staying, to the station at 6.15 am today so got back stripped beds and they have dried on the line. Remade beds. Peeled tons of apples and made 2 apple cakes, 1 crumble, 1 pie and portioned up lots for sauce. I filled icecube trays and y/shire pud/ bun tins and froze individually and once frozen baged them up.

Have made huge pan of chilli, HG chillies, enough for 18 portions. BM finished and DW emptyed.

Tons of ironing to do. Meant to do some watching Joanna Lumley but didn't want to miss anything. We really want to do that.

SAMMYJIG, Glad DH is slightly more comfortable.

PIPPA, Hows OH?

MIOLIERE, Belated birthday wishes.

happy aniversary WHATATWIT.

POPPY, I'm so pleased for you both.

CANDY, I'm so sorry to hear of the sadness your DD is going through, can you talk to his parents and see if they can help knock, erm talk some sense into him. Hugs to you, DD and DDad.

ALIBOBSY, Goldenballs!! have we got a celeb on here, Welcome.

Afternoon all
Sorry I didn't come online yeaterday to tell you all about the christening, we had a power cut & it knocked out my broadband connection.
We got throughly lost on the way to the chuch as the sat nav took us to a nearby school & insisted that it was the church. The service was short, 2 christenings & no mass & then back to their house for sarnies & cake. I briefly met the reason for the choice of church for this christening, he & his wife are their new next door neighbours, they are supposedly famous, but I have no idea who they were, I don't watch a lot of TV.
BIL is supposedly moving out next weekend, yay! I'm not counting my chickens thought it could still all go tits up.
Hugs Hester

Penny-Pincher!!

Hi Guys!

We've had a lovely day. OH took me to Bluewater. We had a Sausage Butty at BK (BOGOF voucher:rolleyes: ) and it was quite nice....dont normally like stuff like that but it was a proper cumberland sausage and tasted ok. Then we went to Lakeland and he treated me to the shallow pan I wanted for the Remoska. We already had £20 in vouchers so he got off lightly...we also got 3 for 2 on some plastic kitchen tools (£3.00 for 3):D ....then we went to the cinema and watched Rock'n'rolla and it was brilliant!! After we went to the Disney store and got DD a new Kermit Frog purse and pen set (wicked design!) and we got a take away baguette from Giardinos and Hot Choc and shared it on way home....and we got 2 free dougnuts from Krispy Creme as the light was on next to the cinema:j :j

Out for 4 hrs and knackered!!

He is cooking Steak, Chips, Garlic bread and salad for dinner. I am being spoilt.

I need an early night!

DD is doing her HW ATM and I must get her ingredients together for tomorrow. I assume its a cake..flour, butter, eggs and sugar. The school have requested FR eggs...cheeky bu*gers. We only have FR anyway but I think its a bit steep stipulating them!

Text BargainRzl yesterday asking if she was ok. She has been extremely busy with work and her social life.....alright for some;)

Hugs to all.

I've tried talking to them before , and they are in denial about what he's really like, and think she should grin and bear it:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
SYBIL I don't buy the men reacting to hormones excuse, not when my daughter and baby are at risk:(I appreciate your advice though hun
Anyway have had to go round and tell my Mum and Dad who aren't surprised in the least, and just want whats best for her:A
Just off to make Tea then chill out , as i'm mentally and physically exhausted;)
