Morning everyone :hello:

:j:beer:Happy Anniversary to the Pinks :beer::j
Hope you both have a lovely day. Tell Mr Pink if he doesn't spoil you rotten he'll have me to answer to . Can't believe it's been 24 years!!!! Of course being as I was only a small child at the time my memories are sketchy but it was a great day.

Hope DD is better soon Lesley. x
Hope your courguettes are continuing to satisfy you Churchie :whistle:

The forecast is for more rain but so far the skies are blue. It was the same yesterday and we spent the day in the sea again. We have discovered the recipe for a great family day out.... We tie a big inflatable dinghy to the end of the pier, put the children in in their lifejackets and arm them with some nets. OH fishes, I read my book and the dog swims. Bliss :cool:

I had planned to clean out the girls' room today and start getting things together for our holiday but if it stays nice I think we will hit the beach again. I have a huge leg of lamb to cook and think I'll do it with roast mediterranean veg and mange tout and salad from the garden.

Have pottered in the garden all morning, missing my Sunday papers as the paperboy is off on his holidays so logged on here instead.

The girls have just watched Maria give birth on Coronation Street so I am being inundated with awkward questions and they are being told to ask their daddy.
I am reading them the Mallory Towers books at the moment (Bogof in WH Smith's) so they are veering from reading about midnight feasts and lashings of ginger ale to seeing a woman give birth on a beach. :rolleyes:

Going to make some french toast in a minute as I bought too manyu eggs at the farm on Thursday.

Have lovely Sunday's everyone.

Edited to update. Dtwin2 has just come into the garden with a ball up her jumper making grunting noises. This is the same child that married the dog yesterday.... Should I be worried? ;):rotfl:

Morning everyone:D:D
Sorry I haven't been about much lately, have been too busy with DGD, and she was admitted to hosp last week with suspected meningitis due to a dodgy rash on her legs:oLuckily it isn't that, but tis still a mystery what it was:rolleyes:
OS wise I have been up to the usual, cooking and freezing batching of veggie stuff, and have been trying to declutter this week:o
Am in hosp on Friday for a major op, so if I disappear for a bit you know why
Hope you're all fine and dandy, and enjoying the lovely weather:D:D

Hello All

Been a long time since I've posted here again. I've been really focussing on looking for work. This month is looking good which is a huge relief.

I enjoyed an afternoon out yesterday with a cream tea with Mum and big sis at a local farm. Then got a few bits sorted for the flat - September is the new deadline for getting in there.

This afternoon when I get back from work, I will make a lemon drizzle cake to have after our full chicken roast. Got sis and BIL coming round for dinner.

Strained raspberry vodka off and added extra sugar, so will need to see if that's ready for bottling and going in the fridge:p

Hope everyone's ok

Morning(ish!) all!

Well, OH went to the festival yesterday, I gave him £20 to go with and he spent the lot, but he was very merry when he got home and still has a huge grin on his face now, so who am I to complain!

I used to love reading Enid Blyton too, St Clares and Malory Towers and the Naughtiest Girl ones (there was only a couple of those, though). I never wanted to go to these schools though - everyone seemed far too goody-goody for me, even Elizabeth the naughtiest girl! :rotfl: I also read some Famous Five books, but having grown up in a very PC household these were kind of contraband. My father found one once and gave me a long lecture on all the things that made these books WRONG. So, of course, I read more and more of them, just to spite him even though really I preferred the Swallows and Amazons anyway.

Got loads to do in the house and garden today. OH is helping to 'repay' this week's overtime money.

Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!

Good afternoon all:D

Happy Anniversary to the Pinks :beer: I'm sure you'll have a lovely day (was Haribo as big a pest on the day as she is now:rotfl:)

Not read the threads for a couple of days or so, been very busy with family things, I'll try to catch up in a bit. <hugs> for anyone in need.

My courgettes are lovely, thanks Haribo :rotfl::rotfl:I like them small No smutty remarks, you naughty girl Actually, I must go and water the veggies, I forgot to do it first thing, and my part of London hasn't had rain for over a week. Last we had was the hailstorms last Saturday. They didn't water so much as batter the poor veggies :mad:

Obviously, we're talking kid's books here. I'm another one who longed for the adventure and romance of boarding school:rotfl: Lashings of ginger beer, midnight feasts of iced buns and fruitcake, best chums and all , sounded fantastic. Bet we'd all have hated the reality

Doing roast beef today. DS3 is coming, and I did a roast for DS4 and GF last night, so must play fair. Oh how I love the oven on in these temperatures :rolleyes:

Enjoy your days, CM x


Well I've caught up with yesterday's thread and I'm either in need of new reading glasses or stupid I read mention of a link to photos of redruby's garden but I can't find it. I've been backwards and forwards a dozen times :rotfl:Must be time for a cuppa

Happy Anniversary to the Pinks.

Off out for a walk in a mo,looking a bit overcast though.Been a busy bee this morning,BM on,beef in SC for later,ironing done,neighbours dog fed and walked.then ours.I wanted to put the yog maker on,relaised I have no UHT so have got some organic out to defrost.

Ah,Enid Blyton.Read them all,still got some.I'm sure thats why I still love reading,always had my nose stuck in one,and used to save up any money I got to buy the paperbacks which were 2/6d I think.My actual faves were the Secret Island series,Secret of Killimooin etc.Those children were pretty old style in my view,gathering hazelnuts,blackberries etc and getting a cow and a hen over to the island to provide food.:rotfl:

Right off out,see ya later.Have a peaceful Sunday.x

That sounds like this house used to Haribo :rotfl: :rotfl: I was telling DD the other day actually how when my friends & I used to play 'flats' (very sophisticated we were all dreaming of the single life in a flat ) I was ALWAYS made to be the unmarried mother with about 3 [STRIKE]dollies [/STRIKE]babies to look after :rolleyes:

Happy Anniversary to The Pinks :T
