    It's AnW's Mum's challenge and anyone can join - (I must make a list as I have forgotten who have pledged to do it apart from her and me, Froddy (I think)) and AnW'sMum has been keeping her basket empty already but she also has to have it empty before her birthday which is before Christmas so the New year Challenge should be a doddle to her:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Wooohooo that's right although I need to step up the dot to dotting if I am going to get there! *note to self not to pledge ANYTHING else as toots will file it and quote back at me :p:p:p;) *
    But that was last year - nobody told me I was doing it this year as well :eek: :rolleyes: :p :rotfl:

    LMAOOOOOOOO like I say once typed it's fact and can be used against you :eek::p:rolleyes:

    Couple of pages to catch up on but we are off to church and then meal out with mum and dad as their anniversary is today :D had a great party last night, will tell you more later x

    It's not Toots - we've tried it for the first time today and it was absolutely horrendous and I've had to abandon it until next weekend. I pricked his finger twice and still couldn't get enough blood out to fill the circle on the paper. DS and DD were both absolutely distraught. We'll try again next weekend but I now need a new card and some more needles as I have to do 5 in one day - if I end up doing 2 pricks for each time I'm going to need loads but even when he was sobbing I still couldn't get enough blood to come out of his finger.

    Aw Jue...poor DS (((hugs))) for you all xx

    AnW'sMum - hope Miss A and W are ok today xx

    The bathroom is almost done :rolleyes: I reserved a shower screen on line last night so it'll be ready for collection at 10 am.

    Then DD, Mum, Dad and I are going to Glasgow Airport to collect my sister and her kids :j:j:j They are on holiday from Australia for my brothers wedding. I havent seen them for 2 years. Mum, Dad and DD were in Oz last year.

    Oh and the sun is shining at last, hurrah!! :j:j:j

    I'd better shift myself.

    i forgot to take the sausages out of the freezer last night, can i defrost them in the microwave ladies?


    ohh yes please help me about the sausages.... will check back in 5 xxx


    I know I'm late with this but I only just got on here sorry.
    I cook my sausage from frozen 99% of the time. As long as you make sure they are cooked right through, properly, you shouldn't have any problems.

    I have done this for MANY years and haven't yet suffered any side effects!

    Morning everyone BTW!!

    Mrs Beatson I would highly recommend using the stardrops/white vinegar/water mix if you want to use this. I have ditched all my chemical sprays and only use this now. I was even converted to use white vinegar instead of fabric conditioner in my wash now, and since then I have started using only one tablet of washing powder with a cupful of soda crystals and bicarb of soda.

    But I highly recommend the stardrops mix, it also makes a good stain remover on clothing before a was too.

    Thanks for this! I've used Stardrops in the past but just wasn't impressed with it. I don't have any white vinegar at the moment, perhaps it is the vinegar that makes the difference?
    I'm going to give SD's another go today diluted but a little stronger and see how that goes! Can't understand how everyone else raves about it but it didn't do the job for me!:o

    Hugs Julie and DS the blood tests sound traumatic. Can’t the District Nurse come and give you some help the first few times so that you get used to it? She should be able to show you how to make it easier

    FeeFee I always defrost sausages in the microwave and it’s fine

    Boddy have fun at the wedding

    Sexy, glad LBF turned up this morning

    SSL have a great time with your family!

    We are going to get on with packing and getting ready for holiday, then go to our Bible meeting, and then go on holiday, so will see you all later! Have a good day everyone, see you soon xx
