Morning everyone,like the new avatar PP,are you really green?! :rotfl:

Queenie,thanks for your pm.I had a really lovely card from my 10 yo son too,a poem that made me fill up.In fact all 3 brought home beautiful cards and I love them all.

I've got off to a really bad start to the weekend.Kids were bickering and arguing and Dd wasn't getting ready for ballet.Ds1 pushed her against the door and I completely lost it.I screamed and yelled at them all and worst of all-I can't believe I did this-I took all their lovely cards down and said I was going to bin them :eek: :eek: I never intended to,I just wanted to make the point that if they love me enough to make lovely cards they should stop bickering and do as they're told.Anyway everyone ended up crying except OH who helpfully did nothing :rolleyes: I feel just terrible now,the worst mother in the world.I put the cards back and said I was sorry and that I didn't mean it and gave them all hugs but I still feel awful

So Mother's Day weekend in the house of Thrift not going too well so far,and I can't even blame it on pmt :rolleyes: Still I suppose things can only get better.

Try not be too upset as you are obviously a great mum. See this as a lesson of life for them. The world isnt perfect and if nothing went pear shaped in their childhood they wouldnt cope with life as an adult.imo. They know you love them and you are only human.Have a good week-end.

Hi Yall, slept like a log last night (YAY).

Not too much to do today, the washing is in the garden on the airer, beef noodle bake is ready for cooking tonight and paid2clicks done. It's wall to wall sunshine here in the emids (sorry TM but it is) so I'm gonna pop out and go for a nice walk later, pick up some lighbulbs and a flaggon of milk and make a few checks at church ready for tomorrows Mothering Sunday Service. The house is a bit 'bity' but I'm gonna do a mad dash tomorrow morning before church. After all people would think it most odd if I didn't arrive for worship hot, sweaty and a bit stressed. LOL
Tomorrow Mum & Dad, MIL & FIL are having lunch at ours so I've got a bit of prepping to do tonight.

PP I didn't recognise you with your new loooook. Why are you green? LOL It must be the morning for nice surprises. My postie delivered two paid2click cheques totalling nearly £60 (YAY)

Apple Mint What a nice compliment. At Christmas the MATHLETTS were at our church carol buffet and were offered a mince pie
"Did my Dad make them?" they asked
"No"
"I sharn't bother then" they said "No-one makes pastry as good as Dad, not even Grandma" . They had to open both double doors to get my head out. LOL

Lillibet Hope things improve (hugs)

Queenie What a charmer! I bet his Valentines Cards go down a treat too. LOL

Sue Rob How do you pick em! LOL Never mind the end is in sight, better luck next time.

Have a good day and if you have nice weather enjoy.

Afternoon all :j

Well the house of stressed is extremely stressed today :eek:

MIL was due in about 10 mins (12.30pm) I was doing the usual running round house like blue a***d fly to get house resembling something clean, chucked DD in the shower at about 10.50am, and all of a sudden rat a tat tat on the door - I knew it was her, and I believe the first thing to come out of my mouth was definately an expletive :rotfl: Why do people do that I was so :mad: I'm then thinking oh well the downstairs is relatively tidy and clean - I just had the floors to do. The upstairs however was a bombsite :eek: but I didn't think she'd need to go up there - how wrong I was - "I'm just popping to the loo" :eek: :eek: :eek: If she'd only bl**dy well come round when she said she would the house would have met here exacting standards - well sort of :rotfl:

It's really p****d me off now - but at least she's gone now!!!

Anyway breakfast was cereal, lunch will be beans on toast and tea will be Texas Chili and Cornbread - little treat for DH - it's his favourite and he's feeling down about his job etc. Unfortunately he's on emergency call out for his last week at work and could get called out any time so he can't have a little drinkie with this - so I guess I'll have to drink his share

Have a good day everyone - mine can only get better!!

Arternoon........

Late posting today, seem to have been busy this morning doing nothing, correction, I did hoover the downstairs, lounge hall etc and the cupboard under the stairs where we fling everything!!!!!!

Lovely bright day, OH has cleaned the inside of the car and washed it over, also moved the whirly down the garden so it gets more of the sun.......I am off shortly for a demo on a sewing machine........doubt if I will buy one, but will see, want to be sure I can use it..........

Pizza ready to cook when I get home, salad to go with it and the rest of the oranges in jelly for pudd.........tomorrows chicken defrosting..............

PP glad you are better......... FF glad you feel better too now you have made the right decision, yours and your families health comes FIRST..........if you are not well the family is not well and I am sure you will find plenty to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about spud...... hope he is not too indigant that the nasty foreguard whopped him on the head. We had a similar thing with my youngest..... my mother was supposed to be getting him ready for bed...... he decided to use our bed as a trampoline, jumps up, fell and cut his head on the corner of the bedside cabinet.... lots of wailing and blood, wailing from grandma, blood from son, trip to A & E stitches... next morning he had pulled the stitches out!!!!!!!!!! he still has a scar on his forehead...... grandma was very careful after that not to let him jump on our bed!!!!!!!!!!!

I came on here earlier but never got round to posting on here

Currently trying to work out how much money I've made on ebay this month - have done pretty well (since I only started selling 2 months ago) and this afternoon we're going into town - boots vouchers to use up and my mum sent me some money to treat myself to something the other day :j - so I'm going to take OH to the jewellers so we can look at rings and I can work out how well I'm doing with the wedding rings fund .

OH's just doing soup and naan bread for lunch - covent garden so not really OS but we're really bad with lunch at weekends so it's not that bad.

Sausages, chips/beans and waffles for dinner and we really really need to sort out our dumping ground/spare room tonight - my mum's coming in 2 weeks to stay and at this rate I'll be on the settee and she'll be in my room (OHs away that week).

Hope you all have a good weekend :wave:

Penny-Pincher!!

Afternoon

Been quite busy here today and I did help abit, but OH should get the praise for the majority of it:o

3 washloads done and all dried on the line. Chausser cooked and tastes delish! Sorted through some paperwork and made relevant calls needing to be done. DW nearly full and will go on later. Kitchen all clean after lunch and dinner done. Sarnies all in freezer...enough for 2 weeks.

Lunch was a baked spud and dinner is ready for later.

DD has gone round her cousins and will pick her up at 4, then have to pop to get her Bratz cake (hopefully). Trying Morrisons which I have not really shopped in before-am just hoping they have an electric chair so OH doesnt have to push me

Still have to wrap the ebay stuff up and a couple of other small jobs, but some can be done tomorrow and have promsed DD that I will watch a film with her later. Want to sort her pass the parcels out too, incase Im not out by then and means we can still do it together IYKWIM.

Also moved £100 to my ING account from excess grocery/petrol money for the past month:D

May catch up later. Hugs to all-especially Spud.

Quick question, do you use Chasseur or any old white wine for your Chicken Chasseur?

Fancy making this for visitors tomorrow and so better go and get some wine tonight.
