Good morning everyone,

Apple-mint, hope the hospital tests go ok, i know what its like to be waiting around a hospital!!!
Snowy - hope the car isnt as expensive as first thought, like Queenie suggests, i have an account i save in for any car repairs, tax etc so something well worth doing!!!
Queenie - im also looking forward (?) to the budget, find out how much extra im going to have to pay for everything!!!! :eek:
Ronankfan - hope the windows go well today!!! :j

Well, attempted to eat some salmon with my mashed potato last night, big mistake, jaw really hurting now after trying to chew, so another few days of soft food, it is getting difficult to think of things now tho, other than soup and mash, although i thought i might give scrambled egg a whirl later, how exciting!!!!
Just two little ones today, and still have loads that i should be doing, but who knows, the house is generally clean so im not at the panic stage yet.
Hope everyone has a great day,
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Queenie

squeaky - any relation to you? Discussions :whistle: :laugh:

PP - I've travelled to London several times already this year, try not to worry.

smokey - Wow! £15 for scant hours interview sounds great! :T Hope it goes well

Ice - try not to view it as a horrifying £50 - might be less stressful to think in terms of £1 per week: mentally it's more do-able and easier to come to terms with (especially as they have us by the short and curlies!).

Morning everyone

Windows upstairs being installed today so not sure how much i will be on tonight. WM going on in the minute but not really going to do too much today possibly some ironing. Going to look for some recipes to print out and add to my growing collection!!!

:hello: Good morning everyone,
Beautiful day here in Worcester,but I bet it is still cold.I haven't done the school run without my woolly hat,scarf and gloves since October and I'm getting a bit fed up with it now.Where is Spring??

Quiet day chez Thrift.Think I'll walk up to my local shop (Tesco ) to see if they have any nice Mothering Sunday cards left and a Radio Times.Or maybe I should do what my kids do and make a Mothering Sunday card.Either way I must go for a walk and get some exercise.Must make some more bread as well.

Breakfast - Porridge and toast for kids
Branflakes and fruit for me

Lunch - Kids are having ham sandwiches on hm bread, hm choc buns,some sort of fruit and maybe cheese cubes with cherry tomatoes
- I will have smoked mackerel pate on ryvita with salad,fruit

Supper - Black Saturn's leek and bacon bake,veg
Hm yogurt,honey and tinned fruit

Have a good day everyone :wave:

Queenie

cat - firstly ((hugs)) Just think "baby food" - last summer/autumn when I was in dental agonies I managed to eat hummous without problems and it was easy to vary the flavours ... Tesco's had an offer on How about: milk puddings? (custards, sage, tapioca, semolina?) hm salmon/meat "pastes" to add to the mash to give more flavour? Very soft bread should be do-able too. You really do have my sympathy ((hugs))

As for the budget, I didn't mean I was looking forward to it :laugh: I meant it will be "interesting" to hear what GB has to say about taxing people extra according to how much rubbish they generate!! (Cheeky blighter!) I live in an area where they only began to "trial" recycling bins a few months ago, and even then it was only in a select few streets (mine wasn't one!).

Methinks it could generate an influx of new members to Old Style though :laugh:

Queenie

Morning Liz and thriftlady (not ignoring you, you posted while I was replying ) :hello:

L: Packed lunch for DD (made last night) chicken and pasta salad for DH and I (again made last night)

WM on 2nd load - this will have to go in TD and 1st load is already on line and won't be dry before I go to work :rolleyes:

Making choc cookies tonight and heading out for a bottle of tequila so I can make some frozen margheuritas (sp?) not very OS but very necessary

Have a great day everyone

Morning everyone :hello:

Feeling much better this morning, due to doing nothing last night - slept fairly well, even considering DS2 woke after a bad dream at 3.15am.

DS1 off to school and DS2 mooching around downstairs. Will be having showers later and then I may try and do some of the jobs I didn't do yesterday. The hall carpet is covered in mud courtesy of lots of boys forgetting to take their shoes off yesterday, but didn't have the energy last nght to vac. It will be easier today because it's dry Need to vax downstairs again soon anyway.

Haven't a clue what to make for tea yet. I have some pork chops in the freezer, will just depend on how many. Or some tuna steaks.....decisions decisions...

It's a lovely sunny day here and I think we missed the really hard frost last night, so that may spur me on to do something

(((hugs))) to everyone and I'll catch you all later.
