Lol - yeah i thought you would be pleased about the low fat Ben and Jerry's Rosepink. I also have a passionfruit sorbet kind which is nice too - but I was really impressed with how lush and chocolately the low fat one was - I definately recommend you treat yourself to some xx

I will definitely put it on the list for the next time we get some shopping. In this weather ice cream would be wonderful! And I love chocolate! Yum!

Nearly there on the decutter of DD's room - will just need the cleaning then :rolleyes: she's in bed now with clean sheets and pj's so I'll finish it around her. She can quite happily go to sleep watching the daft fairy clean her room!

Friday Frolics - childrens rooms and spare room SPARE ROOM DONE TOOTS

poohbear59 Its a long time since I have been to the Hoppings. We used to go when I was a small girl. I have been back as an adult but they arent my cup of tea.

The ghost at work was very active when the bungalow was first built/commisioned. A member of staff saw him very clearly one Sunday standing beside the door of a client who was unwell. The member of staff said he had a calming effect on her. The client often follows someone around the room with her eyes and laughs. He walked past me one night and I thought it was a colleague but it wasnt. That area always seemed to have a strange heavy feeling. It got really bad and the area was cleansed by burning sage. He is very much a practical joker. Lights on and off Fire doors open and shut and taps turn on. Items are often moved then are put back after you spend ages looking. We call him Spooky Lukey and often talk to him. He is not so active now.

I agree with you the Hoppings aren't our cup of tea either that is why our kids haven't been there with us. Our ghost we have called Isaac as he is the person who farmed here. I am often in the kitchen and hear the footsteps and turn to speak to someone and there is noone there.

I'm fine Toots - just been busy writing - I now have four articles sent in and published. I must, though, start planning my days a bit more. It's all too easy to get up, start writing, go bathe, get dressed, do more writing and before you know the day is gone! Enjoy your chair!

Yes, but at least you have the writing to show for the day. I can find the day gone and nothing to show for it (and the week)

Wow pigpen that's a lot of list cleared :T

jo and rosepink - there are 4 B & J's low fat yoghurts: Chocolate Brownie, Phish Food, Cherry Garcia and Strawberry Cheesecake, and 2 sorbets: Jamaican me Crazy and Mango Berry Swirl. Very yummy and lower fat than the ice cream BUT still very moreish which means you still have to watch how much of it you eat - so be warned!! The website has all the info and also tells you which shops stock which varieties!

I'm off to bed now so will see you in the morning - although I may need nagging to finish at least some of my reports!

Night all, sleep well x

Hi ladies! (and gents) please stop discussing B&Js as I am a junky but on a diet I can gladly eat any B&Js icecream, I like them all!! We love the milkshakes at the cinema, £3.80 but nomnomnom!!

Got to agree with the gardens, castle, treehouse feedback for Alnwick, it is really nice. Only negative is the amount it costs to get in the garden for adults. There is an offer on the website http://www.alnwickgarden.com/ . Treehouse is really expensive for food but the quality is supposed to be amazing, they do an early bird special (details on website again)

Well not much achieved today, did my DIY job (as in I did it myself because I have been waiting for ages for him to do it!) meal planned a bit from the freezer after a quick sort through one (I have 3 weeks to empty 1 completely!) done some laundry inc uniforms which got wetter on the line. Best bit was trying something new for dinner, moroccan chicken tagine with cous cous yum yum yum!!! It's a cheats way as the veg/cous cous/spices are in a kit so just chicken to add but perfect food for taking on holiday so thought we would try it, was lovely!

Just of course had to clean up loads of raspberries no idea why I thought banging them off the bench would seperate them without problems, next time must put them in a bag :eek:ping ping ping ping:o

Finished all my ironing so that is nearly all the uniform done for next week.

DS3 being a right pest at bedtime the last few nights and needing me to lay with him - not something he has needed in the past. He is being quite naughty of a daytime so whether he needs the reassurance at night after being told off in the day I don't know and he wont let DH do it, it has to be me. It makes me so sleepy and wanting my own bed which is where I'm off to in a minute.

A lot of you have now got me pining for Alnwick and the Northumberland coast line. Please stop talking about it.

I swear there's something in the genes. One branch of my ancestors came from a small fishing village near Alnwick and when I've visited that region I've felt so at home and adored it all.

Maybe that should be Plan C. Once the kids have finally left, I sell up and move oop North!

But I'm now, finally, about to make my bed and go lie in it. Sleep well people xxx
