Morning all :hello:

PP - I hope that DD's party is a success! I'm sure it will be with all the planning that has been put into it.

FunkyFairy - nice to have you back! :beer:

jw - I hope that your self defence course is a success. I did one quite a few years ago at school and it was really good.

TM - enjoy your retail therapy!

Everyone else: stop making me envious of your yummy food!

Having said that, OH is just building himself up to make me a bacon sarnie for my breakfast. I popped down into the town yesterday for milk and picked up some bacon from the lovely butchers' shop. The town has two butchers, the one that I go to and the other one that isn't so fantastic. Then again, I think most people would fall over backwards at the other one, it's just that I'm used to this superb one! (OH wants me to point this out)

It's the farmers' market on today, so we'll be popping down into town later this morning. Don't know what we'll be getting, but lots of nice things, no doubt.

The rest of the day will be spent building up to the Grand National. I'm not putting any money on, because my mum gambles enough for the whole family.

Have a good day all :wave:

Morning all

Have had a busy few days so not had chance to post or be OS but the takeaway last night was yummy. Today We've got off to a late start and both dd and myself are still in are pjs and dh is still in bed. Need to get dressed in a minute and go and pickup my new buggy from the couriers that dh bought me as a suprise from ebay. Unfortunately he didnt tell me it was being delivered so I went to the trafford center yesterday with MIL to try and get her a outfit for a do shes going to, I have never met anybody so fussy.

OS wise I've got some defrosted mince to use which I'm going to turn into as many dishes as possible with the help of vast quantities of veg and abit of imagination

have a good day

Morning everyone

PP- hope your DD's party goes well

Funkyfairy - glad you had a nice holiday

Went to the dr's yesterday and got diagnosed with Pharyngitis so on a course of antibiotics for a week. Children have all had a lie in this morning and they are chomping into their breakfast at the mo. They have their pets to clean out this morning and i have a mountain of washing to get through!!!! DH has 3 days off next week so want everything done before then so we can go out to the local parks with the children!!!

Hugs to anyone who needs them

Hugs to all who need them

Queenie - Sorry to hear you had to go to hospital - hope all is ok now

TM - enjoy your day - some retail therapy sounds good - are you leaving the mini TM with MR TM

FF - glad you had a lovely holiday - its nice to recharge the batteries - even better when it is not expensive

Pollys / JulieD - teenagers - I always remember that I wasnt like that when I was a teenager OH eldest daughter (17) is/was a nightmare - so far DSS (15) and DSD (12) are ok.

AussieLass - IIRC did I read somewhere that you are moving/coming to Scotland - which area if you dont mind me asking

Jo - self defence class - sound a good idea - I used to do this when I was a lot younger

RacyRed- those muffins sound lovely - do you need muffin tins for them - enjoy the walk

Well today it is a drab driech day - it is supposed to be like this all weekend.
OH is in bed now - he came home from NS about 830am - he will get up about lunch time. DW is on and I have just emptied the washing machine as I had it on during the night (when it is cheaper) - forgot to put DW on though
Not much doing here today - quick tidy up, some ironing then I might settle down and read for while

b/l - bacon sarnie
d - lamb and chickpea curry & rice (from freezer)

we only get Easter Monday off at our w**k - might take Good Friday off as well and have long weekend - OH is off and it is a while since we have spent a weekend ourselves (we wont have the kids)

As it is the Easter weekend remember folks that the docs surgeries will be closed so remember and get any repeat prescription orders in early this week

Take care all

have a lovely Saturday

Morning everybody :hello:

Well I haven't done a single thing yet this morning! I just about woke up at 9:00 but didn't wake up properly until 9:40, and now I'm still tucked up in bed watching TV It's always a danger when I start watching Saturday Kitchen because I end up not getting up properly until it's over at 11:30

The good news is that I'm no longer completely out of cash in my weekly food/general budget - cos my night out yesterday at a concert with my GBF did not result in me spending as much money on post-concert drinks as I'd expected. It was his round to begin with anyway, and the pub we go to had a new deal where you get a 4 pint jug of the guest ale for the price of 3 pints (we always get through 2 each)! So instead of spending £5.50 on a "round" (2 drinks) I just had to sub my friend up £1.50 and we're even

Which means I can go out and buy a few bits later - I'd planned a trip to Tesco but now I think about it, I need to take several pairs of shoes to get fixed and the cheapest place is in the other direction, near Somerfield. I might have a bit of an explore anyway, see if I can get any bargains for the freezer. On the other hand I did want to go to Lidl (anyway) which is the same direction as Tesco, though perhaps I can do that tomorrow.

Lots and lots to do today. My room looks like Anthea's worst nightmare - the cross between a student hovel and a junk tip (I kid you not!) so some serious tidying and cleaning will have to be done but TBH I'll probably do that tomorrow. Need to get a couple of loads in the WM and I have no idea what's for dinner tonight - it depends if I find any goodies when I pop out to the shops.

I'll probably watch the Grand National to see if the horse I picked in the office sweepstake gets anywhere!

PP - hope the party is fab _party_ _party_ _party_

TM - enjoy your shopping

FunkyFairy - I couldn't remember whether you'd said you were going away, but I did notice that you were gone. I was on my way home on the train last night and the thought just popped into my head - "wonder where FF's got to? Hope her DD's arm is OK".

Right, must get stuff done now

Hi everyone!
Would never guess I'm back at work again would you!!!
It's sunny here at the mo' so shall take full advantage and meander my way home via the library and perhaps a quick peek at the charity shops
Managed to pick up the Robots DVD for the small person's birthday next month for only £4.99 so am well pleased :T
I think I shall make some Easter nests this afternoon and then have a big snooze [well it seemed like a good idea to stay up reading my book until midnight last night but I seem to be unable to remember that I still have to get up early the next day :rolleyes: ]
I'm making cauliflower cheese tonight and having a bash at making rosewater truffles rolled in white choc and pistachios in lieu of Easter eggs for my parents.
Have a great day

Morning everyone! (It's still morning, isn't it??)

I am glad to hear you got a good nights kip PP, you'll have a fab time at the party. Hope that goes well.

I'm not long up...well, I actually got up around 5.00 am and considered doing some housework but talked myself into getting back into bed and reading Sainsbury's magazine. Some of those recipes look yum yum yummy! Of course I fell asleep again...

BTW for anyone who's interested there is a voucher in the sainsbury magazine for a free cut and blowdry. It's a bit inconvenient for me as the hairdressing salon decides when your appointment is, and the nearest participating salon is about 30 miles away, so I'm not going to bother - but some of you out there might find it a useful offer.

There was heavy hailstones yesterday, and a whole bunch of them have just bounced off my window. And there was me thinking of going for a nice long walk - not on your nelly in that weather! I do have lots of housework to do (left over from last week, and possibly the week before) and have a ton of college work to do as well. I really can't be annoyed with shopping today so other than dropping some recycling off I'll be staying put in the house (unless the sun shines and I might go for that famous walk).

Bye everyone, have a fab Saturday.

Made a dozen breakfast muffins and put two loads of washing out on the line.

Have four books to post that I sold on Amazon - will try to catch the post office before it shuts.

DD has friend over so will have a lazy day.
