Hello Everyone - not been on here for a long time

Taplady - hugs to you

Well I'm ill. Been off work on leave all week so it would strike now wouldn't it?!:rolleyes:

Got the Christmas tree this week and got all the decorations up. All my presents are near enough done:T

Made shortbread this week with a very wrong recipe - that one won't be used again. Been counting up all vouchers ready for the final Mr T shop before Christmas. Also listing all ingredients we need to get to make sweets. Trying to find my Nigella book for her recipe for a version of peanut butter cups - think they're Snicker Doodles.

Joined the 20p savers club as you can see in my signature and paid more £2 coins into the ISA.

And I've finally had planning permission granted to do the windows:j :T

Anyway, hope everyone's ok and enjoying getting ready for Christmas/Yule or whatever festival you celebrate

:santa2: evening all
Been another busy day here but managed to get out to the shops briefly for some more xmas lights for outside..don't ask...OH thinks he's Clarke Griswald...:o :snow_laug *National Lampoons Xmas*
Got DS2 some new trackie bottoms as he's sprouted up about 6" at least since his op:eek: and some new jammies for hospital.

Taplady I was so sad to read your news,hope you are ok,you were a great friend to Lesley and her family and I'm sure they all drew immense strength from your friendship XX

Not much more to report here,tomorrow apparently I am making playdough,in EVERY colour according to DS3 They incorporated a shopping trip for supplies into a lesson this week then made some at school so he's all keen to show me how clever he is bless him :A He's doing sooo well now he's in the Base I couldn't wish for more.
Hope everyone has a great evening

Just finished what is prob the cheapest dinner I have ever paid money for... sainsburys value noodles.

... and were they nice?

Finally got my OH to try savoury rice (the stuff in packets).. Told him to put in a big handful of plain rice before he cooked it to make it taste less of chemicals and now he is a convert!

Watched Strictly and am worried about Tom - he didn't dance his best. I don't like Lisa but she danced well and if Rachel isn't in the final, I will eat my new fingerless gloves!

kaat - hope you like your new breadmaker when you get it. We got ours from Freecycle and its an Hinari. Bit of a big monster but it makes great bread and the spike up the middle isn't too long so you don't have those annoying 'non' slices..

evening all - a difficult day at work today( me and Les worked together) everyone is so sad but we all talked about the laughs we'd had with her.
I went down to see her this evening - its a strange situation but another close friend is the undertaker. She looked so peaceful and beautiful and that is how I want to remember her, not as she was in the last few days.she looks like she's ready for a night out with her favourite outfit on, nails done, hair done and bling on.

Back to work again early tomorrow so am off to bed now.

Take care allxxx
