Hi Linda, I seem to keep crossing paths with you xx

I am also in my dressing gown:D ............need to start thinking about getting ready.

Hubby has the flu so I am flying solo this weekend and have loads to do.

I love Christmas Markets, last week when you went to York was it the medieval fayre?

that's how I felt on Sunday Lou, with the teaching, the baking, plus work, but if you plan it all out into time slots - ie an afternoon to do 'x', an evening to do 'y', I found it helped as at least I knew what I was doing and when.

Morning all!

Quick update of my exciting life as im sat working keeping the toss pots happy!

Had lovely meal last night at chinese buffet and as we go there a lot they gave my dd some lovely calenders not just the usual roll mat ones.

Hit tesco at 11pm and had the whole supermarket to ourselves was great!

Any mulled wine, mince pies or strawberry/orange creams left

Burlesque_Babe

there's some mulled wine spud, but the strawberry and orange creams are well and truly finished off!

I have a lush recipe for a chocolate and chestnut mousse. It's incredibly rich and yum.

Hi all,
I hope that evryone is doing ok?
Well its a very wet saturday here in the midlands!!!! And at one point in the night it got very windy here.
We are haveing a new under couter frezzer today as we are finding that the frege frezzer is to small now for your growing family. When we go out and see bargins that we could frezze e.g. maet. we cn only buy a small about because od the room. so in the long run it costs us more. we now also make and frezze homemade soup that we use for lunch. and with the babies now starting to go onto real food we will be makeing and frezzing stuff for them too. so it will be well worth the money its costing.

Going to do the christmas tree this weekend aswell so a busy weekend for us.
Anyway i hope that you all enjoy your weekend
all the very best everyone
