pigpen

Am I still the only one awake?

Binmen here now emptying my whelies so that I may throw out everything in the house... I am slightly off on one I think.. though having people rehomed may actually b taking the spring cleaning a tad too far||!!

Morning pigpen - I'm impressed by the early morning start by your binmen.

Quillion - My late in-laws used to take us to Home Farm years ago, when it was first opened.

Toots - Will be sending the vibes all weekend so they build up for Monday.

I will be flying tonight when I get home from work, well I have to start sometime and for the last few days I've only done the DW WM bit, not really being lazy but have jioned a gym and the novelty hasn't worn off yet:rotfl: With OH temping we can't arrange a holiday so we've spent the cash on trying to get healthy instead - no to ention the weight I desprately nee to lose.

Off to hang the washing up in the dning room - .will see you all later

soappie

Piggers - no you're not alone, I'm up and on my second cuppa.

Toots - latest on work front - I got given another 20 days to see me through April. My boss is currently 'negotiating' with the powers that be to keep me on for May, June and July. The latest on the negotiation front, apparently, is that he's told them 'Well, I want her here for the next three months. Make it happen'. We shall see. He's on leave next week so I won't know anything until after that. Vibes would be nice if there's no else who is more deserving.

Wendywitch - what was on the housework songs CD? Maybe we should compile our own. I always think Duffy's Mercy is really good to clean windows to.I know Dusty likes to cook Sunday dinner with a bit of Dolly in the background

Rosepink - big hugs love - hope you feel a bit brighter today

Happy birthday Jennybee :bdaycake:

Emily - you did really well yesterday. How did the trip to the labour ward go with your friend?

Broke22 - stick with it. You don't need to do the whole list - start at level one. It'll get easier as time goes on

Toots - I was thinking about the liver in your freezer. It reminded me of a dish I used to do years ago. You need bacon, sage and onion stuffing mix, liver, onions and a beef stock cube. Make up a bit of the stage and onion stuffing mix (just enough to cover the top of the liver and dissolve the stock cube in boiling water. Slice the onion and layer it on the bottom of a casserole dish. Plonk the liver on top. Spread the stuffing on top of the liver. Plonk the bacon on top of the stuffing. Pour enough of the stock into the casserole dish to just cover the liver, leaving the stuffing and bacon dry. Put the lid on (or some foil) and stick it in the oven, 180 deg or gas mk 4 for about 3/4 of an hour or so. It's delish. You can retain the stock to add to a beefy stew or casserole later.

I shall aim for a bathroom/study star today but the throwing 100 things from the house may prove challenging...

Morning all, not done much flying all week:o Have just being doing the dailies really. I have so much study to do its a little scary:eek:

You must be knackered Pigpen, have some sleeping vibes for tonight.

Nice to see you back Nicki.

Good luck for monday Toots - will be thinking of you.

Happy Birthday Jennybee.

Hugs to anyone else who needs them.

Hopefully getting my new phone delivered today or tomorrow:j Its just an upgrade but i love getting stuff for free - especially shiny stuff:p

Had a nice surprise yesterday, went to pay of the last of my littlewoods bill -should have been £31 but i logged in and my account was £5 in credit Checked my online statement and they had refunded £36 in late charges! (Me being a forgetful mare and not paying on time:o) I never asked them to so its a little weird but i'm not complaining:D

hmm throwing 100 things out shouldnt be too difficult at the moment.

well my list for today (as well as the flylist that if i go back to page 1 to get my internet has a paddy and shuts down for some reason)
Find curtain poles/blinds for at least the bedrooms today
get all the baking trays,pans,utensils and slow cooker and take over to the house
collect all the rubbish from the new garden and bag it (waiting for the council is like waiting for gordon brown to sort out the economy)
make sure the new carpets are vacumed and ready for the stuff from storage to arrive in the new house tommorow
phone the gas company to get rid of the monstrosity of a gas meeter and it needs checking theres no way it costs 5p every 20 mins when i have the heating on.


i dont know how often i will be on because the stuff from storage is arriving tommorow and i need to pick up the pace a bit before we actually move in.

toots if i dont get back on before your treatment i am thinking of you hun take good care of yourself.

pigpen silver and pink sound fab hun

anyone ihave missed either good luck or hugs
