    Sound like a weird sort of greeting :rotfl: eh up?

    Good news re the candles :D You're only going to set fire to them, what does it matter if they're a bit bashed?
  • Hello chaps thanks for the kind wishes!

    Today - still writing - hideously behind, no word from anyone yet - hey ho.

    Plodding along - must sort out some motivation from somewhere.......

    Chin up Fay, nearly there! Not sure where, but nearly there anyway!

    Ignore the rest, and carry on regardless...

    <lobs over a dollop of inspiration>

    Slightly stupid day here - incompetent women who never used a computer before, silly woman who didn't know what her shop sold, a huge hill, a huge bag of stuff I might not be able to use, a potentially broken washing machine (and a man who claims not to know when the washing cycle has finished).

    Better day than my sister though, who's spent most of it in A&E as middle boy of three small nephews deliberately up-ended the bouncy chair - with the smallest one in - onto the hard wood floor, causing much crying and many nose bleeds...

    positive thinking needed all round today I reckon!

    hope all 3 nephews are still with you, i'm sure my sister would have had something to say to the one who did the upending lol

    we're just back from shopping, seemed to cost a small fortune but hadn't been for 2 weeks, did get some bargain beef though. Large roasting joint (half price) for 9 squids but we have mde 6 bags of cubed beef from it which should feed 3-4 people when i stew them. And it's really good quality beef as well with very little fat in it. We also got some other meat which has been yellow stickered which will make loads of meals.
  • Hope all well with nephews and well done on the beef

    Still waiting to hear what's happenning at work................working hard inbetween

    I'm the same, when i know something is simmering or happening i build it up into something more than it probably ends up ever being.
