I've scrubbed the whites and they're spinning in the machine. I've scrubbed the coloureds and they're waiting to spin.

It was cold and clear when I woke up, now it's cold and foggy

We have people round on thursday evenings so I usually put all my cardmaking stuff away so there's room for everyone. But I'm sick of no-one else offering to use their house (we were supposed to take it in turns but that's never happened), and they don't think of what it costs us in milk, teabags, coffee, cake etc. so I've put the cake tins away (WE'RE eating it, not them) and the card stuff is staying where it is - it's my business and I'm not rearranging it for them. They can have one cuppa each and that's it.

troo's gone mean


oye mi cuerpo pide salsa

vamos a bailar


I'm listening to my Latin-y CD, it always puts me in a good mood

Morning All :hello:
Nipping in for one of my intermittant visits (made all the more intermittant now by baby Leon). Am trying to get my enthusiasm up to clean the kitchen, we had a chimney fire the night before last and my Rayburn belched hot soot all over my kitchen and it refuses to clean off properly :mad: (actually, I say belched but it was more like a mini explosion!).
Due to the whole stove explosion thing we're without central heating for a couple of days so have dug my oil filled radiators out and am going to do a big casserole for tea, alos think I'll take LO out for a stroll to make the most of the sunshine. So busy day, better get cracking.
Hugs to all that need them.
Have a good day all,
Jess xx

Morning all!

Candygirl - happy birthday! Have a fantastic day and a lovely meal tonight!

Happy birthday Mr Sunnyday!

JackieO - hope it goes well in hospital and that you aren't too sore, enjoy your sleep this afternoon! Don't know if this is any help to you, but I read an article about Asda doing bras for wearing after reconstructive surgery, not sure if they've started selling them yet?

Penpin - your breakie sounds lovely, pleased that you managed to cook it and are sounding so bright today. Holiday sounds like fun, and a hotel stay will be nice, I love the idea of Mr PP not being able to keep up with you lol!

Welcome Mishmash!

Sybil - well done on your outing, glad to hear you made it, nothing like a nice chat with a friend to give you the impetus to get out of the house. Your dinner sounds lovely - everyone seems to be having nice food, I'm hungry!

Hester - you regularly make me cry, some of your posts are just sooo funny!

Lovely bright and sunny day here again, just as well as dd's forgot to grab the washing in last night, oh well the towels will have had a really good airing! Housework all done, need to hang washing out when this lot is dry, bm will be refilled with a loaf when I've taken the granary mix out and made the rolls in the moski that the kids have requested for lunch. dw is loaded, pots put away and kitchen swished and swiped!

I've been sitting here wondering why I can smell bounty bars, and just realised its the new body lotion I've got on lol! Sample free with a mag, it's the Body Shop coconut body butter, nice but very strong smelling!

Tea tonight will be sausage and chips for the girls and stir fry for me and ds, nice and simple,and I picked up a nice bottle of Hardys in Asda last night, usually just under £8 but part of the 3 for £10 offer, happy days!

Bargains from work last night included 2 huge bags of courgettes for 20p each, and a couple of celeriacs for mash on Sunday for 7p each, 3 bunches of lilies at 40p each and 2 bunches of roses for 20p each! Told you we keep having mad mega reductions! Need to decide what to do with the courgettes,will grate some ready to throw in pasta and bolognese dishes, and prob roast some with some peppers and onions. The chinese ladies were all in again last night, 4 of them filled their trolleys with the fruit and veg reductions, obviously they aren't keen on courgettes or celeriac, or flowers for that matter!

sistercas - hope you got some sleep last night!

marie- hope Ulick is on his way to becoming a model patient and you haven't torn all your hair out yet!

kathy, squiggley and kaat- hope all your bumps and bruises are getting better.

N9eave - how you cope with the frustration of your job when this sort of thing happens is beyond me. I'm just glad that people like you are prepared to do the job!

Well need to mend my space bar as its got stuck half way down and it's getting on my wick! And will catch up with yesterday. Hugs to anyone I've missed xx

Happy Birthday Candygirl and Mr Sunnyday:bdaycake: Have a totally lovely day and anyone else who is celebrating today!:beer:


Warning -Rant alert!
Just wondering how in light of the credit crunch etc those bloomin builders are still managing to build 2 x 3 storey houses on the land at the bottom of our garden!:mad: these are £500,000 luxury houses and not urgently needed housing but it is too late now as they knocked down the trees (complete with nesting birds in:mad:) earlier on this year! In the last recession the sale of houses at this end of the market almost came to a standstill and with the tiny gardens they will have I doubt they will sell!

Sorry folks but feel slightly better now that that is out of my system!:o

I now must go test out the halogen heater, on 1 bar it only uses 400W :j Just got to remember to make sure that Penny and I do not stare at it as I have heard it could damage eyes!:eek: Is this true? so it is going to go high up on a unit.

(((hugs))) to Beths dd

Morning all,

I made a big pot of sweet potato & carrot soup this morning. DGS went home around 10am. I practically had to push XDIL out the door. After smoko I tackled my top and finished it. It's not too bad but a few improvements in the sizing will be made next time. It was cheapy fabric from Ebay. I've cut out a pair of shorts now.

I've got DGS most of the day tomorrow. I'm not suppose to have him but long story. :rolleyes: YS house has now gone through and the keys were dropped off today. We are going over to the mainland on Saturday and will pick up some materials to fix up a few things for him. We're taking DGS but dropping him off to DD so she can spend some serious spoiling time with him and for a swim.

Candygirl & Mr Sunnyday Have a happy birthday. :beer:
JackieO I hope all goes well and see you soon.
:wave: to the new posters
Catz Glad you are improving.
Ruby Hope Mum has no sense of smell.

Well might hit the sack shortly. Woke up at 5am this morning and feel a bit weary now. Hope you all have a lovely if not cold day. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
