Just popped in to say a quick hello, the weather is so gorgoeus today so have been out all day and going to have a sit in the garden after this.

Rainmac - that fudge looks scrummy, I tried making it as gifts for xmas last year but gave up and bought some instead cos I messed every batch up.

Hope everyone is having a lovely easter weekend x x x

Afternoon all, Lovely weather here, wish I could enjoy it in the garden but I'm making a few alterations out there which I have to do when LO is otherwise distracted as its not safe for him. Also our neighbours have a trampoline right next to the fence we share & when they're not swearing (brilliant when Kai is picking up every word going) they spend the time noseying at us, & making comments which I hate, their parents couldnt give a monkeys about they're behaviour either.

Anyway, I've just made rocky road with mini eggs, & pink wafers in for pud tonight, a few eggs & wafers kinda jumped into my mouth though :eek::rotfl:

Without a PC aghhhhhhhh, poor you Rainmac, its when the lappy breaks down that I want to go on it more than usual, lol
You doing the advent swap? If so I want you to be sending me stuff, you make such fab & delicious stuff.

Oooo, a gardening hour with Aurora, cool! (ok, it might not be an hour but it sounded good)

My sis is getting rather fed up with bingoport, she's seen me win a few times when she's been in the same room but hasnt won herself, so I've kept stuff that I get referal points, lol.
Comsidering signing my OH up for an account on there, anyone know if this is ok, it isnt 1 account per household or something is it?

Hope everyone has a fabby weekend & doesnt get too ill eating choccy (the egg sort, not our choccy orange, that just wouldnt be nice )

Rainmac the fudge looks gorgeous! I'm going to try that recipe out next week I think, I've tried making fudge a few times but it never turns out right! I think I might try and get hold of a sugar thermometre first though

It's very quiet on here this weekend, hope you're all having a nice weekend and sending lots of hugs to those that need them

I used a thermometer like Gemma advised and think this greatly helped my success

or furry??:D I had noted her absence. She went away at the weekend, hope they didn't lock her in a pen or anything. Where are you fluffy furrry??

Hi i'm back thanks for noticing me missing in action ( or in Essex as the case might be!)

Was feeling a bit unsocialble to be honest and purposefully chose not to come here for a couple of days.... meant I did some reading and spoke with people!! I think sometimes its hard to post and I guess we all go through it also think I'm being a bit paranoid about something and it made me feel funny about coming here so wanted to pluck up courage to come back.

think it's a bit better now I'm home but I really appreciate that you and choccy actually missed me!! I think it's so busy here with so many wonderful people doing so well with their challenges etc etc and I am a thrifty failure at the mo so a bit embsarrassed!:o

Hi Girlies,
My lovely lovely Grandad slipped away in the night. He literally did just fall asleep as he was in exactly the same position as when we had left him. He had been so peaceful all day and was fine at 4am, and when the nurse checked at 4.10 he had just fell asleep. Bless him. I prayed so hard for the angels to take him away from the awful suffering and they did. Just wanted to thank you for all your kind messages, particularly everyone who had sent me PMs as well and scattymam for her unfailing ability to help me out when I needed someone. You are all little stars. Thank you xxxxx

Now go and munch some Easter eggs! X

Oh Jammy so glad your prayers were answered and it sounds so peaceful.

Sending you lots of hugs xxx
