    Good morning everyone,

    Its a lovely sunny day here today, ive already had the BM and WM on, just waiting for the latter to finish so i can hang it up outside (my bedding, i love it when i can dry it outside!!!!). We are then off to my friends for lunch, we are going to walk as its so nice, and that way i can also have a couple of glasses of wine with my meal!!!! Have to be home for 4 tho, have promised DS that we will be back in time for THE football match, just hope his team win!!!
    Didnt hoover upstairs yesterday so will prob do that later whilst DS is watching the football, no idea what dinner will be, but will prob involve the bread i made this morning!!!!
    Hope everyone has a lovely day, take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  • Mr P....Thats fabulous news! Well if you need any help/advice etc....just ask us....we can only say no;) :D I wish you well....hugs!

    The horrid needle nurse has been and gone:mad: I have tomorrow off as Im at the hospital and they will be jabbing me there instead:eek:

    OH has hung the washing out and theres another to go out. He's prepared the lamb to go in the oven at lunch time when I cook the jackets then the oven will still be warm for roasties later so oven wont need to warm up from scratch IYSWIM. He's also changed the quilt cover and pillowcases I have on the sofa ATM:D Busy bee....LOL

    Hi everyone!
    Quiet day today here as OH is doing a dollshouse show in Hove....toes crossed that he sells something eh!!
    Have done my ironing whilst the small person catches up on the Scooby Doo movie and then plan to take him out on a long hike this pm [OH has very kindly left me us with packed lunches]
    Not planning any cooking as have defrosted the rest of the HM pasties from last weekend and we've got the Easter nests from yesterday.
    Have a great day

    Morning all,

    PP so pleased the party went ok, sounds like evryine had a ball.... Mr P well done on selling the house, take your time and buy what you feel happy with, you have got to live there and its very traumatic moving especially when you have lived in a house for so long.

    Bright morning, towels in the WM for tonight so hope its fine tomorrow. SC on with a beef stew and leek and lentil soup on the stove for lunch. I left the BM on last night to cook a loaf for lunch, OH went and switched the power off..........so no fresh bread for lunch, its on now....will not be finished until about 1pm so bread with soup tomorrow, toast today.......

    OH starts playing bowls next weekend so we switch to summer mode......Thursday afternoons to myself and also the occasional Saturday.........

    Chicken wih all the trimmings for supper tonight, I cut a couple ofslices of the raisinand cinnamon loaf and made a bread and butter pudding to cook in the oven with the chicken........scrummy........

    Nothing really planned for today hoping to get a little more of my quilt done, it keeps casting a baleful eye on me from the chair in the living room where its sitting.....I need to get down to it, two years is far too long.

    (((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))) to anyone who need them..... hope all goes well at the hospital tomorrow PP.

    Erm........... OK then

    Got up, cleaned my teeth, am now on second cup of tea, switched on the Lava Lamp for a little entertainment. Thinking about going for a paper and what to do with the contents of the freezer........ Ho Hum.

    This post really made me laugh out loud, thank you Mr P icon10.gif

    Haven't done a thing most of the week apart from hospitals and drs and bed, washing piling up all over the house, meals have been cheese and crackers or pate and crackers picnic style on my bed but daughter getting out the cook books for something more substantial today once the freezer has been raided.

    Thanks Q for the ideas for her, I'll let you know how it turns out later.

    Mr P - congratulations on selling your house!

    I had some semi-bad news this morning. My grandpa is in hospital. My mum took him in last night with a chest infection/cold and he hasn't been eating or drinking so is dehydrated :rolleyes: He's only 90! He should be fine, but it wasn't very nice getting a text from my mum saying "Grandpa is in hospital".

    This is in addition to my gran who is losing her marbles................

    Apparently he wasn't talking much when my mum left him in hospital at midnight. This means that he's definitely unwell as I once popped round (he lives by himself, still drives and still drives my mum up the wall :D) for 10 mins and I was there for 3hrs! You just can't get away from him - all quite interesting stuff though. We're laying bets on who will talk most at our wedding - grandpa or OH's brother in law. Both have the gift of the gab!

    HELLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO


    how are you all ?

    Well am finally back online albeit on dial up :rolleyes:
    We moved into our new house on monday and its great, even if its a tip and needs compleate refurbishment.
    I have been totally o/s this week washing by hand , hanging on the line, most meals from scratch ect ect, I will be so skinny once I have got all the work done so much to do, supposed to be out in the garden now , but needed to get my o/s fix, it has only taken 2 hours to get the internet up and running :rotfl: :rotfl: :eek: but i got here in the end.
    comp is on a box under the stairs as my comp table fell apart :rolleyes: so am sat here freezing. only got the heating sorted thursdays had none until then, i was so cold :eek:
    I will post some pics of the house premove later and let you have a nose of all that needs to be done.
    we hired a sander to do the floors which promptly went bang so only half our bedroom was done. have ripped all the dreaded wall paper off the lounge walls now we need to put up lining paper and paint, ha with 3 littluns it might get done in 20 years time :rotfl:
    But we are in and I am so much happier will pop back later.
    huge huds to all
