Morning all!

Had a busy morning so far but peace reigns now at last!:j
DS2 is out for the day with his kidz club, back at 4.30 and DS1 is doing some jobs for his Nan to repay her for the MP3 player she bought him.

Washing is on the line and blowing nicely! all housework done so far and preparations for tea done! so time for me at last!:j

B - HM cinnamon and oatmeal toast
L - tuna on granary bread
D - sausage casserole,veggies and mash

Am off to make my sarnie now as I'm peckish!:wave:

Home made rolls are rising ready to bake and may make a pizza for tonight.

Washing is on the line and eagerly awaiting more Amazon sales.- but no luck today.

Someone got a really good bargain yesterday as I was new to this and sold a hardback book for the price of a paperback!

Still thinking of this as a learning experience.

Hugs to PP - does this now stand for perky pincushion?

Regards to all - going to make a coffee as I am freezing!

I had the johnsons lighter shade last year but didnt find it tanned up much, have got the darker one this year, that seems to be better! Has anyone tried the new Dove one? that was on offer too recently.

re flour: I have bought allinson but not used it yet, I have made a wholemeal with the Carrs flour which was nice. plus do people put the ingredients in the other way round when doing wholemeal bread? my BM leaflet said to do this but came out like a brick, when ingredients put in usual way, i.e. water first, they are fine.

by the way in my Big W yesterday they had a 1.5lb BM reduced to £15! plus kids bouncy castle 8ft x 8ft now down to £69! I was sorely tempted but do I really need it in my small garden! ha ha

Aussielass: lucky you with real tan! where in Oz are you? my brother now lives in NSW.

Ladies and Gentleman:

I am aware that I haven't been on here for ages (new job - more money - more busy but slack at the moment as boss is off). Anyway, <<ahem - clears throat for big announcement>> I AM VIRTUALLY DEBT FREE - obviouly there is the mortgage but apart from that about 150-pounds to go and then it is just bills. Thank you Mr Bond Maturing that i had forgotten about (ooops!!)

Obviously me and Mr Rage are VERY HAPPY!!!!! and we even went to Turkey to see the solar eclipse and have money left over from the budget for that so that has gone into the Chine 2009 Eclipse Fund!!!!

So I am sat here eating my sandwiches lovingly made by Mr Rage and am feeling very pleased with myself!!!

HURRAH!! :j :j :j :j :j :j :j

Agreed Queenie - I had lovely long hair until I was 9 yrs old then my mum took me to get my hair cut and it was all lopped off - I never forgave her for that

Re Knitted jumpers - my OH always remember his mum knitting them jumpers with the three stripes on them (cos they could afford to buy them for all the kids - she had 7 of them) - he hated it when it rained cos they always stretched

Smokey, Michelle, totally sympathy regards the kitties - one of mine is a long haired beauty but the hair he sheds is something else. I have a roll of masking tape for hair removal purposes in my bedroom, my kitchen, my car and in my desk at work - the hair gets stuck to absolutely everything. The kitty in question - Ted - is so gorgeous though, he's worth it.

Snowy - we have masking tape, a lint roller and another gadget bought in ASDA - but what I find the best for taking the hairs from the couches is a brush that I actuall use on the cats for brushing them - it lifts most of the hair then I go over it with a damp cloth.
