No more peacocks thank goodness, I'd had enough of the last one.
There is a reason to feel stupid, I've lost the way a bit and started to wonder why the hell I was doing it, because nothing else seemed to get better, it only got worse, its not easy, but my life is a bed of roses compared to some peoples...........so I shouldn't really complain.
Liked the cookery lesson racy, I don't cook enough now a days, I really enjoy it when I can force myself to do it. Todays cooking consisted of adding extra toppings to a asda pizza, not exactly healthy. I've been saying I'll do a nettle soup for a couple of days, must do it tomorrow.“Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, pain of love lasts a lifetime.”0 -

Now then, hand over a bit of that chocolate
I've had enough, pink how much today? :rotfl: I've had a bag of chocolate honeycomb from asda, lovely, but sickly. Feeling slightly sick now

Hi Pink & Beer.
No I've been working today but have been busy as usual. This is the only time of day I can call my own really. I'm afraid to say I almost missed my DS parent's night this evening.Was reminded in time, got there & was proud mum! Bless him. Had a bit (!) of wine tonight
Now thanks to Tommix & Queen Bear, now Lady Westy of Woodpecker

Gobble up any Granny gives her asap, it won't be long before she's asking, where did my cream egg go?
You have got to post your nettle soup recipe on Old Style, I posted mine a couple of days ago but I'd love to try yours.0 -

They'll change, but not in a good way. Thanks for the hug.
Aren't there nettles where you are? We've had them for a couple of weeks now I should think, need attacking in the garden.
