I've finished all I'm going to do today thanks girly, baby steps and all that :rolleyes: anyway, don't be chucking accusations at me, you're the smuggler :eek:

I can't imagine being able to keep up with you - flyby thread or not. Anyway I am pants at cleaning which is why I don't do any (says in small voice someone else does it....)

Smuggler - moi?????

Just watch out on the evening news - small red headed (teetol sp?) girl visiting shetland apprehended for illegal hay imports into Orkney - she claims its for the 'science':rotfl:

I use Tesco Healthy Choice chicken pieces. Put everything in this morning at 8am on Auto setting. I'll be dishing it up with rice (boil in the bag) at about 5.30pm.

Have to be honest, I cook most of my meals in the SC when Mr FH is away. It's so much easier than stressing about preparing food when I get home. Even on my non-working days I'm usually out in the afternoons

Sounds lovely. I will buy a SC for when I start the new job. Anybody got any SC veggie suggestions? Two veggies in family now. Suppose it'll have to be slow-cooked bean casserole or something. Then somebody will say 'But I don't like beans' ...

Miss Piggy you are doing brilliantly - well done :T

BHB - where are you?

I wonder where Winebox is? And I hope Sea is OK too.

PIR, did you see the full recipe on the OS board for FH's sweet & sour chicken?

"chicken, can of tomatoes, tin of pineapple pieces, peppers, onion, tblsp brown sugar, 2 tblsp rice wine vinegar and a splash of soy sauce"

Total yum!!! :drool:

Jo: Thanks for that - sounds very yummy. But what's 'the OS board'? I wondered how on earth you knew that FH was doing chicken in the SC, I re-checked her posts and thought she must have PM'd you or something!!!

Hi Guys :hello:

Hope everyone is ok and treating themselved kindly?

Darling Jo, I am 14 af days please and I am feeling very much back on track too. I guess you are missing your DD more than she is missing you? Sounds like she will have a lovely time and of course come back very tanned and relaxed. You on the other hand are cleaning and cooking with the rain lashing down outside. Oh to be young and carefree again and no there is no justice But thankyou for scoring this month and only a few more days now and you can hand over to our adorable Miss P and Piglet. Phew these months last a long time don't they? Hugs sweetheart and lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


So we move onto our Dear Fay well what can I say? She is now travelling down the road that leads her too a rather different life. I mean SMUGGLING, YES THATS RIGHT SMUGGLING. I never thought it, I really didn't :rotfl:Fay I implore you to see sense and not let this boss man lead you astray. Stand firm to what is good and true, we are all behind you. 100% and we know you will do the right thing, THIS CALLS FOR EXTRA, EXTRA STRIPEY POWER. Big hugs and thankyou for confessing to your dabble into the criminal world. :rotfl:But its time for Miss Sensible head to return ((()))) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bhb where are you Budgie hopes you are ok and your Darling wife too. Thinking of you and sending you big hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I had a sad day today at work, we are putting a house on the market and the lady who owns it called into our office. She told an awful story of how she had been abused by her husband and that whilst she had been with him she felt like nothing. It really did sadden my heart, and then on the news tonight the story of the lovely young model who had also suffered abuse and then her boyfriend stabbed her to death. Sometimes the ugly side of life seems to be all around, it is so very sad.

To this end if anyone is lurking and suffering any kind of abuse then PLEASE DO GET HELP, it may seem frightening to make the break, but to suffer a life of abuse is really not a life at all.

There is a different road to travel along and one that will lead you to a much better life and hopefully peace and happiness.

Sorry if I have brought this up, but it has been that kind of day and I really don't like to think of anyone suffering and the pain they must be in.

Thankfully I have never ever or would want to be in that kind of position. So hugs to anyone who is ((())) :A

FH hugs sweetheart and it is a sad tale that you also tell of your childhood, and yes you are right it is a terrible way to treat such young children. I can only send you a very big hug ((())) and say that at least we do not repeat the mistakes of our parents. Sounds like you have some feelings yourself that need to be thought through. I want to travel on the road to happiness, do you think that any of us will ever find contentment? I hope you are ok and I send you my love. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Then we have some of us who come back for a couple of days and then disappear again, Yes Dear Lurky where have you got to now You haven't been back since YM offered you a: rufty tufty handshake Hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Oh and Ym well done on the jumpy :T xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Miss Piggy you have done so brilliant this month :T I mean this, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU :A you have proved to yourself that you can do this and as August Scorer, you have to set the example. Big hugs to you and our dear piglet. ((())) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pricey have a lovely day tomorrow, there is a website: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=2+for+1+london&meta=&aq=1&oq=2+for+ for discounted tickets, I haven't managed to have a proper look at it yet. But make the most of your day your adorable 3 dd's before they go off to uni etc. Let me know how it goes, I of course have my DS booked as my personal travel guide I can't wait :j Big hugs oh and I too keep asking about Winebox and Sea I do hope they are ok? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

115k hugs hun ((())) you too sound a little down and mixed up at the moment? I hope you are ok and remember we are here for you. :A Sometimes though just lurking is what we all need to do, especially if we are not feeling that good ourselves. But do keep posting so we all know how you are doing? Lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

69 Chick hope you are feeling better? hugs, GG hugs to you too, Mp and Eselt hugs, GC how are you? Fluffy, Ttgu, Fedup, Maman, Dc, Ava, Grey P, Bis, Wbf, Ra and the adorable 40sm hugs and I hope you are all ok? ((((((()))))))) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ok to everyone else big hugs and look after yourselves, everything works itself out in the end you know

God Bless
Budgie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
