Not at all! I did it last year and they went down really well! The office staff really appreciated it as they don't get much at the end of term as the teachers are usually the ones getting the pressies!

Last year i also did all the teachers a 'home grown' box, consisting of -

6 eggs from our hens
3 courgettes
a couple of carrots
an onion
and a couple of tomatoes

with an a4 peice of paper lining the bottom, with a list of everything in the box written on it, headed 'shola's home grown produce' or something like that, with a picture of some veggies and a chicken on it!

Haven't done that this year as i started the veg a bit late and the only thing ready is courgettes lol. oh, and a rather mis-shapen cucumber!

You've inspired me! I'm just making some fern and moss solid shampoo - hopefully it'll come out looking like they're from Lush! The only thing is that having not made shampoo before, I daren't put any green colouring in just in case it comes out slightly when in use and they all end up with green streaked hair :rotfl:

Slight disaster here. Took dogs to park and Stripes has broken her leg. She's having an operation as we speak. Thank goodness for insurance!!!

No more flying until this evening....i've got a meeting at school at 12, then a concert, then a club at school I help run, then DD to county sports event and then I'll do some more flying.

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - ok, that feels so much better now!!! xx

Thanks sweetheart, and everyone else who's reminded me. I've got to wait in for the window cleaners who are going to be here between 11:30 and 12, when they have gone I will go down to the village (or I might collapse, I've done an awful lot this morning)

Since my last post, I've washed up and had a clean up in the kitchen - there are still a lot of saucepans and baking trays piled up on the hob, but the rest of the kitchen is done and the WCs can get to the window so that's the main thing.

I've also cleaned the sink and bath and myself! Will do the loo later, too tired now.

Am having a sit down and something to eat now while I await the WCs. And I don't mean portaloos, I need some other abbreviation for window cleaners, they are not toilets.

Thanks Pollyb, Beki, Hippy

How awful Mudders - how did it happen? Hope she recovers quickly

Mudbath

LL - I've been scarily calm but I never, ever want to go through that again. She was playing with other dogs and we really don't know what happened but she was just screaming bless her. The park backs on to a car park so I went and flagged down a poor builder and he helped me carry her to his van and then took her to our vets who were fab. She was sedated within about 15 minutes of it happening. I know she'll be fine but she's my adorable little puppy dog and now i'm going to keep myself busy so I don't think.

ETA just had a phone call from vets - it may not be a fracture but a badly damaged ligament and a chip in the bone. Fingers crossed xx

Hi
I am back !!! Not been around much as I have a neighbour from hell . Really upset /angry I have not wanted to be at home I have been spending days and some nights with friends and family just to escape and to get some sleep and peace and quiet .

anyway seeing as i have been using my home mainly as a dumping ground its been totally neglected and its a mess but MONDAY IS DONE :j:j:j

going to try and stay at home as much as i can this week so hopefully i will get my house back to being tidy and clean .
with a bit of luck neighbour will move out (she rents and her lease is up in the next few weeks praying she wont renew ) then i will feel comfortable moving back to my lovely home

hope you all have a good day

Mudbath- hope Stripes is alright

Valli -thinking of you today. hope it goes well.

RosepinkDon't forget your prescription. Have you looked at these.

https://prescriptions.pharmacy2u.co.uk/user/EPMSHome.asp

They are really good.

I order all my prescriptions from them and they only take about 2 days or so from ordering to getting it delivered to my house. You don't have to papy postage either
