    Morning everyone,

    Had a lovely lie in this morning, didnt get up til 9!!!! I still didnt sleep well (never do) but its nice to relax and know i didnt have to get up and rush around like i normally do!!!
    We have a busy day today tho, need to go into Plymouth and do some shopping, including my new BM!!!! finally got the money back on my old one (wasnt even a year old) so looking forward to getting my new one and making some bread this afternoon. Think im also going to try and find a cheap muffin pan, tried to make some in a normal cake tin, but didnt turn out so good :confused: mind you, whilst i cant make them, i cant eat them but ........
    WM is on, DW just half full, but will need putting on after our roast tonight (beef with yorkies, yum!!!) i always add a drop of water to my yorkie batter mix, and that seems to help when i cook them, dont know if that will help anyone out there!!!!
    Well, off for my shower and to get dressed, i love the weekends when i dont have to be up so early, and we dont have any time restrictions!!!! :T
    Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday, take care and hugs to everyone xxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hi Yall, You lot are so kind and supportive:A thanks for all you helpful posts and PM's. I'm feeling a bit better today (had a good nights sleep) and am off to church in a few mins which always makes me feel better and helps me put things in perspective. I've decided to take a day off from Paid2clicks today and have a bit of 'me' time. I've only taken 3 days off since Christmas Day so I'm taking a break. If it stays fine I think I will go for a long walk this afternoon through the woods, across the deer park to the aquaduct. It's really nice and peaceful there.

    Washing on the airer (outside) it won't dry so I'll bring it in later but at least it will have the nice outdoorsey smell.

    Turkey leg and veggies in SC with white wine and bay leaves. Yorkies and Roasts to pop in oven after church. Apple and blackberry crumble ready to slam in too.

    FIL is coming for dinner so he can wind the MATHLETTS up to fever pitch while I cook/marinade myself in sherry and or baileys. A sober cook is a poor cook IMO:D

    Gotta go - I'm reading the lessons this orning so I CANNOT be late.

    Catch yall later and have a good day

  • Could not believe my eyes at Sainsburys! This loaf was £1.06 last week (I checked the receipt). How much was it this week? £1.20 !!
    What is going on here???

    Glad to hear you're feeling a little better.

    I'm having a nice lazy morning as DS has to work off the £16 he owes me for topping up his mobile phone. So far he has loaded the washing machine, folded the dry clothes, unloaded the dishwasher and is now wiping down the work tops and cleaning the top of the cooker.

    Now how much should I wipe off his debt?

    I couldn't agree more :D

    Morning everyone, well a very slow start to the day (not even dressed yet :eek: ). DH and I had a bit of a cocktail making session last night - so please no-one shout :shhh:

    Am about to make breakfast/brunch - a huge fry up to make us feel normal again :rotfl:

    Mammoth ironing session today, well at least DD's school uniform and my work clothes. All this week I've been tackling a job that wouldn't normally get done, ie cleaning out the fridge, cleaning the microwave etc today I'm going to do the oven _pale_

    Oh well off to get dressed now and have another cup of tea, byee :wave:
    Squares knitted for my throw ~ 90 (yes!!! I have finally finished it :rotfl: )
    Squares made for my patchwork quilt ~ 80 (only the "actual" quilting to do now :rotfl:)

    It's good to hear that most people are feeling better this morning. I believe that sharing things that are getting you down makes you feel better even if it can't always help practically.
    After my frantic, expensive but wonderful weekend in Barcelona last week I'm enjoying having a quiet, cheap, time at home with just DH & the dog.
    I treated me & DH to some new clothes from Next Clearance on Friday (I LOVE that shop) & am busy shortening trousers. I also have a couple of old dining chairs that need seats recovering. I've borrowed a staple gun from a friend which makes it so easy to do. That's my idea of a fun time at home. I'm never going to be a domestic goddess but I adore a good potter. I agree with catowen, weekends when you've no time pressures are bliss. :j

  • hello all
    Big hugs to math, hope things sort themselves out.
    Not got much planned for today, was hoping to go and do some volenteer work copicing a woods, but dp is not well enough to drive me up there. Makes me realise how much driving would improve my life.
    am on my 3rd lot of washing this morning, washing up almost done , just need to do a little tidy round,
    will catch up later
