Boddy - hugs to you, GS and GF. Meant to be or not, it is still a sad loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Valli - I love my slow cooker, but maybe don;t use it as much as I should.

I'm off for a coffee and think I'll put some broth mix to soak.

DH is going to start some drilling and filling so I might have to hibernate in the kitchen and do a bit of baking.

I seem to be bumbling along as usual! Fed everyone, started loading the dishwasher, hoovered the kitchen floor a bit and made myself a coffee

I have a feeling my today job will be lighting a fire in my study and clearing the floor. Maybe if I crack down I can sort it! Before and after photos sound tempting...but then you'll see what a slattern I am :rotfl:

TAG

I have, this weekend, done at least 6,359,957,001 loads of washing.
Trouble is I'm struggling to get it dry as I have no TD.
Note to self - train DH how to use the WM AND how to deal with wet washing appropriately - i.e not just leave it in the machine. for days on end hoping it will hang and dry itself.:rolleyes:

I can't get into the swing of it today. Just a gentle hover at the moment.:o

I've stripped the bed and put the sheets in the WM, watered all the plants, folded & put away the washing off the airer, renewed my library books, virus scanned the laptop (had that fake alert virus here too) and cleared out the bag i brought back from the conference - most stuff into recycling! Next job for me is to clear and wipe the shelves in the kitchen and sort yet more recycling. DH still in the study though it's looking great.

boddy - hugs to you, as you say not meant to be but doesn't take away the sadness.

slow cookers - i love mine but DH doesn't like any kind of casserole food, esp done in SC!! typical. I tried beef in ale hotpot last week. I thought it was lovely but he didn't like it and ended up with a kebab, so i've an extra portion in the freezer for me

ETA: much as i love you all i'll opt out of the card list - i'll be lucky to get any done this year...

right better get on as I need to go out in about an hour

HHC turned into an hour and a bit.
I have
Cleared kids room floor
Made space for new wardrobe in there
Vacuumed (even under the bed) You wouldnt believe we only moved in 2 weks ago!!!!!!!!
Started to sort through all the toys, bin, get rid, keep system.

And now I am going to sit down for a bit, then start again.

Morning guys and gals!!ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo we have white stuff!!!! and lots of it - well about 3 inches - there was none last night. It looks lovely and I love it but its not so good for any of you going out today so please be careful flower!!

pigpen hope the girls have a lovely time and the party goes well (of course it will silly me- pigpen organised it) and you emerge unscathed!!! And Triker too!!
emily - great news about the bungalow - hope you can get in before Christmas - that would be a lovely presie!
soappie what a lovely DD - good to her your are feeling better - dont get carried away today!!
boddy so sorry to hear about the baby - you are right it wasnt meant to be ...yet. big (((hug)))) for you all.
lil_me hope the house in the village is still available - you are an enterprising lady and I know you will get something suitable for the family - good thinking on DH's part about the warmth/insulation - and I agree with you a bungalow would be better for you - woofs are always a problem when it comes to renting but there will be a suitable home where you cantake them - they are part of the family! (another dog lover here!) will be keeping fingers crossed for your search.
supergirl WOW well done on the weight loss honey! and you feel better - that is so brilliant! I love your new way of thinking - it takes a bit of getting used to but I know you can do it! Thats a load of vouchers so thast will be a big help - its amazing what people can achieve on very little. WTG babes!!

Hi all,

Just to say that flying will be stopped in this household today - just heard that i am an auntie again - ruby - (for those who were on the thread last xmas you may remember that my b & sil lost a pregnancy at 22 weeks) so great joy & tears all around. they have also given her my mums name as here middle name so extra tears for that as well.

Anyway off now to collect niece and sil mum to take them to the hospital and hopefully get a cuddle with a newborn.

SummerMoon

Congrats jjef, Go and enjoy some neborn cuddles.... they are the best.
