Pippa.S

Morning one and all :hello:

Hoping we have another good day today, looks ok so far.

WM doing its thing should'nt be long now,
Had a dabble in the garden yesterday still needs a lot doing though
yes you're right CRANKY the weeds are flourishing here as well :rolleyes:

Rubbish sleep last night, had a nightmare :eek::eek::eek: one of those really confused ones, cant even really remember what it was about, I know DS1 and 2 were in it but they were only young and something to do with our caravan but thats about it

I've done nothing but sneeze this morning and my breathing has gone haywire again, woke up with a really dry throat, not sore though so it will probably wear off.

Lunch will be the last of the crusty bread and ham salad
Dinner something out of the freezer most likely, SC beef or shepherds pie

Bitsy - glad the LO's are well again and full of energy :j
N9eav - hope you feel better today,
Essex - glad you enjoyed your day out and the weather was kind to you, hope today is'nt too stressful

Have good days all

managed to get all (i think) of the challenges i set myself friday done.
ironing pile is no more:T well theres a few bits that came in of the line last night.
spare curtains converted into pelmet/valance AND recovered all the old cushions (just need to hand sew the backs up so they're easy to remove for washing.
Did all of the hand sew mending off that pile (just have a pair of jeans to repatch the knees) also found a pair of DS jeans that need new elastic in the waist.

I've sorted a bag of charity stuff out thats on the front awaiting collection.
Glass is bagged and ready to have a 'smashing time with later when me and youngest DS walk it down to recycle.
cat basket washed out and handy for when i lug him down the vets for his jabs

todays task is to clean out trog (my tortoise)
and bake some muffins
do a couple of loads of washing

made a delish carrot cake yesterday (from a recipie in current essentials mag) its the first time ive made the topping and filling with cream cheese didnt tell anyone they were eating carrot and cheese cake till after they said they liked it:D.

better get a wiggle on hairdresser is round in an hour to 'do' all the kids
and a neighbour whos phnone has diesd is borrowing mine to ring virgin (poor love has been ringing them off her moby and getting nowhere at a highly expensive rate:mad:) they are recoating the pavenments along our street and her phone stopped working after they did her pavemnet so i think thats what has caused it. ours is bing done this morning so im hoping they dont knock our phone or internet off :eek:.

Hope everyone feeling poorly soon feels better.

Still stuffy with my cold but the sudafed does seem to be helping a bit.

DS2 went to bed at about 4pm yesterday after his weekend at the Nozstock music festival and hasn't surfaced yet! will check on him before I go out to make sure he's ok.
DS1 and his partner visited yesterday - nice to see them and DSs new job seems to be going well.

OS - 2 loads of washing done so far and out on the line. House tidied and vaccumed. Not sure whats for tea yet but have some new pots to use up - might roast them as they're lovely done like that.

PP - not noticed any posts from you lately - hope you're ok x

Bitsy - hope your DD feels better today x

Hope you all have a nice day x

It's not raining here....amazing. Slept quite well last night apart from some after effects of 2 bottles of lager(I won't expand!). I've got 2 emails from friends today and I'm off to the library.
Been doing that poor me I can't afford a holiday thing and I'm knocking that on the head. I've had some rubbish holidays and I'm not prepared to run up debts just for a quick fix.
Hope everybody has a good day:j

morning all
Weather here is good but cant go too far as DD1 needs to be back for work so will try to get out tomorrow. Need to ring the boatyard to pay for parking for our hols in a fortnight been readng up on what to do and where to go in Norfolk OH and I had a massive surprise when a relative offered to pay for the 2 of us to go to China for just over a fortnight in March next year as a late 40th present to me and a 20th wedding anniversery present we arent sure what to do yet as it seems rude to say no but finances arent great
washing is on the line and not sure whats for tea as yet
N9eav hope you feel a bit better today
Bitsy glad that the littlies are feeling better
Scuzz hopefully just an infection and he will feel better soon
Pink glad that kitty is ok
Have a great day

Morning all,

Lovely bright day here, got a load in the wm, and will wash the dogs beds after, we have mums dog staying.

I still have that rash thing on my arm, its iching like mad, and spreading, got the Dr tomorrow, so hopefully he can sort me out

Going to do a ring round of the local estate agents this morning, see if anything new has come on the market, I am not sure how patient the woman buying this house will be. I am hoping something comes up soon.

Quiche new potatoes and salad for tea, and a general tidy round is needed, oh I also need to do an online shop.

Not much from me today, its a slow news day.

Have good days all xx

Penny-Pincher!!

Taplady-I'm here hunny:D

Belated Happy Birthday Pink-sorry it's late.

I've had a really rough few days and still not great. Seeing one of the consultants later this week and am pretty sure he wont be happy with my blood results, but what can I do?

DD has her friend over today and they are going to Bluewater for a PROPER American burger each and chilli fries to share (I have a voucher for £15) and also an Oreo shake....sorry N9eav:p Think they are then going to the cinema. DD needs a few things for school, but dont understand why she needs to go to BW to shop...it is SO expensive and over priced! I will however, get her to go to Lakeland and take some of the free samples of veggie bags etc for me;)

The dog is doing fine but he keeps biting. Anyone know how to deal with this? I know its his teeth and have got him some chewy toys. Our other dogs werent like this..I'm pretty sure.

The WM has been on with 4 loads over the weekend including a boil white wash for the t-towels.

If anyone is interested and needs a new sim card. O2 are doing a 12 month contract for £9.97 (simplicity) and you get 300 free texts and 150 mins to anyone. If you go through Quidco, you get £100 cash back, so a whole year with texts and calls for less than £20.

Have some red, green and red peppers, onions, mushrooms and garlic roasting in the oven ATM for cousous later and pitta bread sarnies...yummy! Aldi's offers are pretty good this month and have heard a rumour that next month the super6 will be 29p.

Sold 21 old DVD's yesterday to a company and they send a pre-paid envelope and just pop them in and they send you a cheque. Also sold about £30 on Ebay.

Anyway, I am waffling. Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all!!

All is well here but weather can't decide what it wants to do, so, do I put the washing on or not?? Will I get it dry?? Oh well, may just give it a go and see.

Madly cutting out labels etc for new classroom - big appointment with laminator later!! (will get OH to cut the stuff out though - hee hee)

Cheese sauce (frozen from before when I made enougfh to feed the street!!) and pasta for tea as OH is off to dentist for a filling and needs a "squidgy" dinner.

Need to make a concerted effort to save the pennies as we sold our house on Sat and are hpoefully moving ASAP to a bigger house... so need to save as need more things like curtains!!

Hugs to all poorlies and anyone else who needs one

Dry here although not sunny it is bright, so washing is out. Found a wardrobe for DS room that fits and he likes. Must get organised today as I have a lot of paperwork to do and we are doing quite a few jobs in the house, why is it we always start more than 1 room at a time !- I swore we wouldn't do that this time, but have!
