    Well the weather is nice and the bank holiday is coming but i am stuck in the office again today with no work to do and a cold :( i just want to go home to bed with a lemsip and some nice homemade soup.

    Well my no speading didnt really last long as i had to buy cat food last night and i went to the takeaway but in total i only spent £5 and didnt get the credit card out. on the upside i made a bit working from home so not all bad.

    Today i havent got alot planned as i am at work till 4:30 it will take me a hour to get home unless someone decides to pick me up then i am on call again tonight :( Dont know what i am going to have for dinner tonight might be homemade pizza but might not be.

    Hope you all have a good day and enjoy the sunshine :beer:

    Got some tidying up to be done and i i get time ill sort some more stuff out for ebay. Been haveing a big clear out the last few months.
    My wife has been selling off the old baby clothes that no longer fit on ebay and then buying up the sizes that fit them. then as thay grow out of them there back on sale on ebay:D We are lucky though as a lot of clothes have been brourt for us odd the grand parnets.

    I on the other hand have been clearing out and selling off all the other stuff that we have and no long use. From the loft to the shed. Its amazing haw much stuff we have been keeping packed up in boxs in the loft that we just nolonger use and will never use again. Iv sorted the shed out too and sold off the old tools and other stuff in there that i dont use any more. And still there is more stuff to get rid of.

    My wife is going back to work in about a months time shes only going to be doing 2 days a week to start with. So that means that i will have the twins all to myself to two hole days a week:j:j

    Right today Lunch will be home made Veg soup with bread and butter.

    Morning :hello:

    I've not been on the the Daily for ages, although I do read through most days to keep up.
    I always smile when N9eav has gone fishing, I must see if I can find his photo again ;)

    Miss Twit is in school today German GCSE :eek: then a week of revision before 2 solid weeks of exams.
    Good luck to all who are sitting exams today and over the next few weeks.

    I'm still pottering on with my OS ways, and recently I've been finding some decent bargains at Tesco, Floss must be leaving me some.
    Tea tonight is fish and chips, not home made, it's our Friday treat and I pick them up on my way home from work.

    Love and hugs to everyone :grouphug:

    It was lovely earlier on but gone a bit dull now,

    Washings out ironing ready to be done, crumpets for brekkie yummm lovely, lunch is a beef sandwich with salad then a yoghurt for OH and fruit for me.
    We are out for dinner tonight so no idea what we are having,

    Had chicken last night and it was lovely, I used a Schwartz chicken spice mix, I usually mix my own up but as usual I was in a hurry :rolleyes:

    Going to DS2,DIL to see our DGS so we are eating with them.

    Depends what time you go in hun, my guess is you're there before my after-work 6pm visit! :p

    I was in our Asda the other day at 9am & they were Y/S'ing lots of things..... such a pity I am usually in work then :rolleyes:

    Good to see you again, hope all has settled down at the Castle.....I saw Morwenna on the Weddings board the other day too!

    Floss xx

    P.S. Only OS for me today will be puting wet washing onto maiden to dry & roasting y/s chuck for weekend sarnies - both when I get home from work! Do have some ironing to be done, and OH will be back from Cardiff this w/e so will have to entertain him ;)

    Morning all

    Day off today :j have done most of the housework that needed doing, ironing in a mo and then some other little bits to do later on. Will put BM on in a mo as we are short on bread at the moment. Was up at 6 this morning so went out early to pick up a parcel at the post office that couldn't be delivered yesterday as we were out at work. Am going to make chilli later and wrap it in tortillas and cover with cheese and bake in the oven. Friend at work suggested this as a change so will try it out and see what we all think.

    I see we are going to be without the forums for 7 hours tomorrow - how will we cope ;):D

    Not OS but just listening on the news at the sentences for the abuse of poor little Baby P. Mum got 10 years. Don't know about you but I think she deserved more. She was his mum and should have protected him against all those awful things that happened to him in his short life. Such a very sad tale. I look at my GDs and just cannot imagine what I would do to someone who hurt them. Sorry just had to get that off my chest.

    Right, better get on with my ironing, the pile is medium, but with one lot on the line and another one to go out after, the pile won't get any smaller in the next 2 days.

    Have a good day all xxxx
