    Morning all! My moaning last night obviously had some effect - my husband came into the bedroom at 7am to wake me, he'd been up since 5am and DONE ALL THE JOBS!!!! Best present I could have had. Then my son came in and they had got me two anthea turner perfect housewife dvds - I love my family!!! They have also potted me up a herb pot for the back door!!! What a gorgeous day.
    Very sad to hear about Jade - her poor boys. She has fought a very courageous battle and done a lot to raise awareness of this horrible disease.
    Love and best wishes to all - have a lovely day - and back to the lists tomorrow - yeah - bring it on!!!!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Happy Mothers Day, an extra hug for those without a Mum to spoil this year xx

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero more on dividing by zero

    Polka congratulations!

    Morning all. Well I am in shock. 7am 2 little boys came to my room with a Kings of Leon CD, card and chocolates......followed by their Dad! He'd been fibbing about going racing (only discussed it on phone as knows I can spot lies face to face) He slept downstairs so he could get up as soon as they did. Took the dog out then he's took the boys out to give me some peace. This is weird. I had to write it here incase I am dreaming! He said he'll have a kip later which he will need as got in from work at 4am. He has took the boys up one of the tracks so not entirely without racing but he's took them so they can use their cars too. I did send his Mam's ecard after all so I don't feel guilty about that :D

    Anyway he's out with them, I've popped down filled WM/DW and had some toast. Oh got some chicken out as I'd got pork out for our dinner because he was supposed to be away haha thank goodness for left over parts of roasts.

    Off for a shower without screams in the middle, unheard of for a Sunday :rotfl:
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Oh oh oh I forgot to ask. I've got 2 pork loins (boneless but with fat on) not cooked pork for years, DS1 wanted it as I don't usually buy it because DP dislikes it.

    First question - it says 20 minute per pound on a guide I found, as these are 2 seperate pieces so I put them in for how long they are together or is it seperate? I think it's seperate....:o

    Another one what is the best way to cook them? In a roasting bag or just in a tin? Any secrets etc I can use appreciated

    When i cook pork steaks i place in roasting tin and crush a garlic clove over them. about 15 to 20 mins each side then for last 5 minutes i put honey on.
    Serve with whatever you like i usually have either Chips or Jacket pot onion rings and salad. DH has to have processed peas:rolleyes: .

    My mouth is watering at the thought of it hope you enjoy.xx

    These are little roasts rather than pieces Quillion but thanks, gives me an idea of what to do with the others I have :D

    Sorry I have no information when it comes to leave/redundancy, have you tried the board on here for redundancy?

    Can't be bothered to find and update my list right now...

    Well done on the weight loss rach!
    thanks, but sadly I've been up and down around the same couple of pounds for weeks! As soon as I get back from hols I will be 100% back on my diet!

    soappie - I'm sure it is extra pressure this time after last time. He will be ok I know, we're both really ready for our holiday :)

    TAG - hope you catch up on sleep eventually.

    AbbieB - my wisdom teeth have a grumble every now and again but they settle down again after a couple of days

    Mozzy - sounds like a lovely day. I used to love the carvery near where I used to live! we used to go after weight watchers and stuff ourselves lol

    SarahS - I agree, kids growing up without their mum alive is so hard. I know it happens all the time, but it just reminds me how lucky I am.

    Yes, you can see my car outside in laws on the google map thing!! You can see our flat too! Think the pics of our area were done last summer. We reckon it might have been a saturday morning as our curtains look closed!

    juliejim - ah, I saw that on facebook but wasn't sure whether to share! She said she 'has a bun in the oven' but with all her cake baking I didn't want to spread rumours that weren't right!! :rotfl: Have fun at the party!

    jo - could you PM them to me too, I'm trying to up my management skills in prep for looking for another job. I know I need more experience but some theory would help too!

    L-L hugs, your kids are probably not up yet.

    My plan for today is mainly to chill, finish the washing and some of the little jobs off my list. Then we're having a roast tonight so I'll sort that later.

    Did I mention I only have 3 days at work before my holiday? :j:j
