    Morning everyone.

    I'm still in bed (lazy mare!) but it looks nice and sunny so will get up after writing this and get the WM on.
    Nothing much planned for today other than posting out some Ebay and Amazon parcels and perhaps a meander round the charity shops.
    Weekend meals will all be "something from the freezer" - I'm trying to empty it out a bit as it's badly in need of defrosting.
    Have a good one all.

    Morning everyone,
    Another bad night for me, but thats nothing unusual, normally like to stay in bed a little later at the weekend but DS has football this morning, and has to be there for 10, with a 10.30 kick off, so another morning standing in a cold muddy field for me and DD!!!. Unfortunatly, their dad has decided that after all the years DS has been playing football, today is the day he wants to come and watch, so will have to put up with him as well as the mud, i know which one i prefer!!!! He then has DD for the day, and DS until tomorrow evening (DD refuses to sleep overnight at his house(dont blame her, but dont say that to her)) so i have a peaceful afternoon for me, mind you, will prob spend most of it MSEing and neopetting but that keeps me happy which is the main thing.
    Anyway, WM needs to go on, and i really need to hoover upstairs, the one disadvantage to my job is that i can always keep downstairs tidy, but not upstairs, as i wouldnt want to leave the little ones i look after alone whilst im busy upstairs, so its my normal weekend task. Apart from that, nothing else planned as its just me here, maybe a nice bath and a bit of me pampering (so many of you recomended that yesterday!!!)
    Anyway, hugs to all who need it, thinking of all,
    Take care

    Morning all

    Looking very pretty here this morning in a blanket of snow! It started snowing at 2.55pm yesterday - typically just as I was about to go on the school run! It looks really icy now tho, not ventured outside yet.

    Got to go do some bits in town later, a trip to the library and asda too...oh joy! DH is still pretending to be asleep....I've even hoovered the bedroom and pulled the curtains with him lying very still......don't you love their ability to ignore stuff that needs doing!

    Brekkie --- cereal and fruit
    Lunch.....might have lunch out today - which normally ends up as a bag of chips on the cliffs...bliss!
    Dinner - HM burgers I think....or pizza....depends what needs using up in the fridge.

    Hugs to all that need them.

  • good morning everyone,
    i've not really been posting during the week because all my days seem the same. but for the last 3 days i've been on a course from work - all about makeing you a better person - raising your self esteem - self belief etc. it isn't my type of thing but i got a few things from it. mainly be more positive.

    i have a friend who i met on the web - she is single and lives about 80 miles away from me - we have never spoken but we text and msn lots - but after the course yesterday i said we should meet and maybe we might be the ones for each other - you never know till you try . i hope i haven't scared her off.

    My good food magazine arived on my doorstep this morning - so i'll be getting some ideas from that hopefullly.

    i'm off to ju jitsu in an hour or so - then back home to watch Bolton beat Arsenal in the FA cup.

    hope you all have a nice weekend

    cheers

    Morning all.

    Well, after running out of milk last night I thought I'd try porridge without it - have been reading the porridge thread and a lot of people seem to like it that way.
    YUK! How can you eat it? Waiting for the milkman to arrive now so I can make some with milk.

    Just been sorting out my money, moving it between accounts, and have sent another lump off to my egg card. Want to reduce it as much and as quickly as I can.

    Going to get a load of washing through this morning - been away to edinburgh on holiday this week, so got to catch up on all that before its back to work. Then, this afternoon OH and I are going up to my parents. My aunt is holding a burns night supper tonight, so we're all trooping over to Settle.

    Hugs to all, have a good day.

  • AAAgGHHHHHHHHHH - had typed long post and then it said I wasn't logged in - I was honest

    anyway - morning all :wave:

    :grouphug: to all those who need them

    Graham - go for it - faint heart never won fair maiden (I think thats the phrase) good luck with the footie

    Powie - love the pic - I have three of them - but cant get them all in the one pic - so only having one would be showing bias - mind you the eldest is called smokey!!! - might need to change user name

    Had a bit of a stressful afternoon yesterday (OH ex and the children - her mindgames with them) - will bat it of you all later if that is okay once I have had a think about it.

    DSD still not well

    DSS going to make cheesecake this afternoon - he made one in school this week so want to make one here - will let you know how he gets on.

    We are all going for a long walk later - lovely day here

    WM on - will hang out later
    DW - nearly full - will put on later

    b/l - scrambled eggs on toast - when everyone is up
    D - pizza

    Take care all and have a lovely day

    Will pop in later
