Evening all

Spent the day looking for cranberries either fresh or frozen to make sauce for xmas gifts... nobody seems to have them

Are you able to use dried ones and rehydrate them???

Just popped in to send massive (((hugs))) to Lesley, her family and her good friend, Taplady. What a sad time for you all.

Some hopeful news about LO - she has been moved to a different hospital and they were planning to try her off the ventilator today; we're still waiting to see how she got on.

PenPin - I hope you haven't got the lurgy, you've been through enough. (((Hugs))) to you all.

Well, I've had a lovely hot bath and I'm just about to have a mug of drinking chocolate and do a bit of knitting while watching TV - I like to live life on the edge!

Sunnyday

Evening peeps :wave:

welcome back Donny_gal - nice to see you posting again.

r.mac - Happy Anniversary :bdaycake:

Catznine - I`m so glad that our monster cats antics cheered you up, ((((HUGS)))) for you and your friend. I`ve not read any of Deric Longdens books but thanks for letting me know about them. DH has been asking what i want for Christmas so maybe there`s an idea for a pressie there

Wannabee Sybil - I think that maybe our cats are related

Esor - Great idea regarding the carrier bag handles, when we get paper ones i think that i shall do this and leave one out to see if our monster decides to investigate.:rotfl:

Purpleivy - ((((HUGS)))) for you, hope that the w*rk situation sorts itself out.

Welcome to Knitter & Katholicos :wave:

Taplady - I am so sorry to hear about Lesley, take comfort in the fact that you have been a great friend to her.

Oystercatcher - Ouch! hope that your tooth gets sorted asap, i was never brave enough to have the root canal treatment i made them pull the tooth instead

Well i never returned the fairy lights so thats something for another day, i cleaned the living room until it sparkled and did all the ironing :j i`m now having a well earned sit down to let my dinner settle.

I went to visit Dsis this afternoon who has been ill with a nasty bug - i kept crossing my fingers so hopefully i won`t get it. She showed me a great idea for a dog bed as she has a poorly houndie who has bad arthritis. I was so impressed that when i got home i ordered one for our little old houndie but it is big enough to cut in half for the doggies to share.
When i think that the last bed i bought cost £35 for the oldie and has only lasted two years i shudder. This should last forever and i got the 2 free pillows for us too :j http://www.intellifoam.com/toppersingle.html .
Here it is, do you think he`ll like it I`ve had an email and it should arrive tomorrow.

Well i need to sort out the kitchen now so i`ll leave you all to enjoy your coffee - or wine as the case may be

Have a good evening everyone.

Hello All,

Ive only just logged on, will have a read after posting - Love and Hugs to all.

I have 2 out of 3 kiddies with temps of 104f and myself with a chest infection, have had less than one nights slee[ in the last 10 what with sick children and me feeling rough. Had our school xmas bazaar yesterday which meant a busy weekend what with setup and cleanup but all TOTALLY worth it as we managed to clear over £2000 pure profit :j :j :j

Righto, off to browse for ten mins and then off to my bed, keep your fingers crossed I get some sleep!!

EDITED TO ADD: HUGE hugs to you TAPLADY XXXXX

catznine

Huge (((Hugs))) Taplady and to Lesley and her family. Lesley knows she is loved by her family and by you, this is so hard for you all, keeping you all in my prayers.

Just popped in to say I'm so sorry Taplady that Lesley is fading fast. She is surrounded by loved ones so she will be in peace. That's a huge comfort and what a lovely friend you've been when she's needed you most.

I'm upstairs getting dressed. :rolleyes: Taking DGS shopping with me and you can already fry an egg on the road it's so hot. Sleep well. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Evening all,

taplady - I am thinking of you all, and am so glad Lesley has her family with her (hugs) for you all x

Welcome to knitter and Katholicos :hello: nice to see you, watch the fence though its getting a bit wobbly with so many of us leaning on it :rotfl::rotfl:
HAPPY ANIVERSARY r.mac :beer:
Oystercatcher :eek: I had a root canal done once, the next time I did the same as Sunnyday out it bloomin well came, OH has had 3 done now and another one crowned....but.....he gets a cold and well need I say more :rolleyes:

Kathy - it sounds as though things are looking up for LO, keep us informed wont you? BTW be careful living on the edge, that chocolate might just push you over if it has brandy in it that is :rotfl:

kiwichick I hope you all feel better soon x



Its been a busy day again, we had our eyes tested this morning, then went shopping,had a sandwich in MrM's got home put it all away, and collapsed with a :coffee: and feet up. Then cooked a huge pasta bake, split it up and froze it. I better sort the freezer out its getting very full, got 4-Beef stews, 6 - Pasta bakes, 6 Shepherds pies and various other tin foil containers in there. I must remember to write on all the lids not just one in a batch, as they get moved about all over the place and then I forget whats in them:o

OH is asking for a drink so better go put the kettle on.

Night night

just popping in to say a quick hello. i'm so rubbish with names, taplady? i'm really sorry to hear about your friend. i'm certain she feels blessed to have a friend like you though. you must be such a comfort.

not got much time, oh needs his pc back. to edit his website. done the online shopping, got more cookie dough to make as we had quite a lot of visitors at the weekend. was nice not to feel so isolated for a change.
still mega stressed not a single thing for xmas yet, apart from a box of crackers i got for bogof last year. lol.:rotfl:
well better go. i'm totally shattered. little one still teething. and i'm not sleeping well with the stress. best wishes to all take care. xxx
