:hello: good morning!

Well, we came back from Cornwall on Tuesday and it's taken my a couple of days to get over the travelling. Feel a bit better this morning though

I really missed reading the thread while I was away! Haven't caught up yet but will read the rest of today's in a minute. But I gather Penny_Pincher is off on holiday, though that might be next week - have a lovely time, hon! and Tired Mum, and anyone else going away for half term.

Weather was quite mixed while we were away - some days sunny and mild, some chilly wet and windy. I forgot to take a hat with me, and really could have done with one a few times. We did manage to get to a couple of places I'd wanted to visit for a long time - the Levant mine, and Lanhydrock - and even managed to park in St Ives, which isn't easy!

I hope all who were ill and/or had ill family members before I went away are feeling better.

Churchmouse, tired mum, Bargain Rzl, Stefejb, VickyA,Shez, Betheebee, Catowen :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello:

and Welcome to anyone who's joined the thread while I've been away.

All for now, as my brain isn't in gear yet, which probably means it won't be for most of the day:rolleyes:

Dinner will be pasta with meatballs.

Take good care of yourselves and hope you all have as good a day as possible.:)

Best wishes

Morning all! Dry and cold here, gone back to bed with a cuppa the pooter!

N9eav - sorry to hear about your bil, glad the attackers have got their just desserts.

Hester - fingers crossed for your dh and some more jobs, how's your bil getting on and have you had any feedback from H&S visit yet?

Penpen - there's always people who like to pick fights, shame she has to work with you, perhaps someone could suggest she volunteers to take herself elsewhere!

Mrs M - take care of yourself and hope you feel better soon.

rchddap1 - hope Lily sleeps for you!!!! And your oh makes his decision, hard one though.

hilstep - hope your son is ok, thank goodness nothing worse happened

Taurus and redruby - enjoy your hols.

Essexgirl, candy, marie - big hugs xx

Penpin - "walk this way, talk this way" lol! Enjoy your cd and your break, and I will miss you and want to know how you are doing, so there!

Hugs to any other poorlies or people having a tough time.

Kitchen swished and swiped, dw running, bm on and need to sort out washing as we're all off to Scotland on Saturday, so I think we need plenty of warm clothes.

Breakie was toasties again for dd3 and ds, cereal for dd1 and dd2 and not had mine yet!

Lunches were cheese and pickle sarnies, pinapple, apple, yoghurt and leftover popcorn (girls went to see HSM3 last night, of course I gave them drinks and popcorn to take with them, hidden inside dd3's HSM rucksack, well I assumed nobody would check a 7 year old's bag lol!) Mine will be well who knows, depends when I have breakie!

Dinner is ys sausages, with cauliflower and ys broccoli cheese, I slice potatoes and onions and cook those under the cauli cheese, yummy!

Have a good day all, I'm going to have another cuppa and a mooch! xx

Hi

I am usually on the rest of the OS board but first time on this thread.

Very damp and grey here will prob rain later:rolleyes:

Went into town yesterday and did some odds and ends of xmas shopping...have just about got it sorted and stashed away now:p .
Busy day today, WM on and some chicken stock being made in SC, first time I have made in SC so will see how it turns out.....hoping to make some chicken broth tomorrow but as its a soup Ihave never made before am not sure how to do it so will have to do a search in a bit...I have some broth mix so thats a start!
Making chilli for tea tonight and need to get some dough in the BM for some garlic bread.
Also off to hairdressers for cut and roots doing which is a pain really as I have a lot to get done and don`t want to spend 2 hours there:o
Also have 2 books to post that I sold on Amazon, not really benefited from the money as have bough yet another cook book with the proceeds..am a woman obsessed by cookery books:o

Hope you all have a good day and hugs to those who need them

Morning all :wave: :wave:

Today is my gorgeous god daughters birthday and she is the big 13 - she has been really excited about the teenager years apparantly - unlike her mum:D Anyway she has chosen to go to a place called Tay Barns for a meal tonight which looks pretty naff (the easy jet of restaurants according to my mate :eek: ) looking at the website it looks awful but hey ho its her choice.

Couple of heads up - M+S are doing the dine for a tenner again this weekend and its the oakham chicken :j :j
Rmac - the hotel rooms for a tenner is on today at 3pm in case you are around:T not much of a chance of getting one but its worth a go I guess

The spicy parsnip, mushroom, potato, carrot and onion soup that cooked in the SC through the night smells gorgeous so that will be lunch and maybe supper after the lovely tay barns this evening:T

Hugs all

Squiggley - Hope your placement is going well today and you enjoy it.

Celyn - nice to see you back. Your bit about finding your boss made me laugh, I though of those "where's wally" books, does he wear a stripey jumper lol!

Sistercas - oh your new boss sounds sneaky, good job you found out now, good luck with her!

Nelski - I think you've been fibbing about your lack of cooking skills!

Well am now meant to be typing a couple of reports up for a friend, but whilst it's money earning, it's a bit boring! Another cuppa and a hobnob I think - note to self, make more hobnobs or try not to eat them so fast!
