    Morning everyone :hello:

    :grouphug: Hugs to all!

    Guess what? I didn't even make my pancakes last night! I knew there was something I'd forgotten to do... oh well.

    I'm feeling a bit rubbish at the moment, I'm hoping it's just an early morning fog. I'm off to put the towels in the washer in a minute, than it's back out trooping around with the Avon books. Plus I am speaking to a solicitor about my old employers because they owe me money. So tea will be something else - baked fish probably, with chilli and lemon.

    Happy anniversary thriftlady! I hope you have a lovely day xxx Boy am I a doofus. I wished you a happy birthday even though I just read 'anniversary'!

    Ah, that is the secret is it!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: , now you have totally let our secret out, the excuse is we don't have room for a fryer here, and they are less greasy for DH.

    Happy anniversay Thriftlady
    Hope all those feeling down have a better day today

    Went round to dd(19)'s for pancakes yesterday - she had a houseful and did us proud - tons of sweet and savoury pancakes. Got back late so no HW done at all - will try to leave w*rk early to catch up tonight.

    Tea tonight will be a yellow sticker surprise hopefully as I've not really planned anything - failing that there's some Like it or Lump it Fridge Debris Soup in the bottom of the freezer so that will do.

    have a good day :)
    I'm going to feed our children non-organic food and with the money saved take them to the zoo - half man half biscuit 2008

    Thriftlady Happy anniversary

    Overcast here today, so washing may be blessing my line with it's presence. Spike slept from 11pm til 7am :eek::confused::T:j, so now feel ready to take on the world, well not quite but alot better anyway. So the house will be getting de-cluttered :j.

    T tonight chicken and prawn Bhuna with rice chapati's and poppadums :j

    Parents evening went well, i think they were talking about a different girl tho :rolleyes::D

    DH did manage to shuffle out of bed last night to watch footie :rolleyes:.

    Anyway gotta get cracking, hope you all have a good day x
    You know your getting old when you
    go to the pub sit outside
    and admire the hanging basket :cool:
    Is officially 48% tight :D
  • A brief time to catch up before I go off to w***. Hugs those that feel low...lol re weight finding us again!! Mine did big time!! Will steel mysef for major health warning from gp!
    Well the amish starter will be mixed later and I will now send a batch to csarina...now how to post it safely (ie with no spillage!!). I wondered about in a tub, taped and then in a box surrounded by paper!
    Off to w***...may do pancakes later if I can rem to get more milk!! Have a good day all...
    oh yes re weezl and the ladder...weezl can barely walk up the stairs without hoiking herself up using the bannister so being up a ladder not good as no "leverage" and therefore liable to topple. I am not saying that she should be a pregnant princess BUT being up ladders not good...scrub the floor instead weezl!!

  • Good morning to all you lovely people. I am a newbie. Off with depression at the moment. Have been reading your chat for a few weeks. May decide to resig from job, so am learning OS from all you experts. Aim today is to be out of the house for at least one hour. Bought a panasonic BM for £10 from a charity shop, so will put that and wm on before I go out for a walk. Hope you all have a good day. Congratulations on anniversaries, new babes, birthdays. So glad I found this lovely place x

    Good morning all!

    Welcome to any new peeps, Yorkshire Celt, what a fab bargain on your panny, enjoy your walk x

    Grey and that fine misty rain here again today, the sort that's not quite enough for putting your wipers on properly! Off to Bristol to meet up with a lovely friend for some retail therapy - and if you're reading this I'm sorry for leading you astray lol!

    BM and wm on, kitchen s&s, floor mopped (girl cat's tum didn't like the tuna I think!) and sitting room tidied.

    Kids lunches were hm cheese rolls, M&S teacakes (my fave!), apple, yoghurt raisins and yoghurt. Mine will be eaten out :-)

    Dinner tonight will be sausages in some guise I think, can't remember what exactly was on the meal plan! Prob with mash and veg and onion gravy as that's quick and easy and I'm working tonight.

    Hugs to all in need and I shall attempt a catch up when I get back home xx
