    Morning all,

    Elona :bdaycake: Hope it's a happy one & to Ms N9eav.

    Haribo I dribbled on a bit longer just for you. Trust me, most times I post I delete 3/4 of it after I've read it. I won't tonight. Don't complain it's rubbish. :D
    Moiliere I have the report abuse or something like that right next to the thanks button. I can see me accidently pressing it instead of thanks button. :rolleyes:

    Enjoy your day. <hugs> to those not well. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


    Aussie - I've already done that:eek:! I almost reported N9eav for abuse and he hadn't done anything at all to deserve it! All that happens is that an email thingy comes up for you to write on, but you can just cancel and, as far as I know, nothing comes of it! By the way, the 'snags' you mentioned yesterday - what are they?:confused:

    Afternoon, OSers

    Happy Birthday to Elona and Miss N9eav.

    Bitsy I hope you've managed to totally eradicate the Evil Weevils. :eek::eek:

    Not a lot of OS happening in the Wolf's Lair today; I have a blistering headache, so am being kind to myself instead.

    I do know that dins will be egg'n'chips; Mr LW has volunteered to cook, and that's his speciality.:D

    Hope you're all having a good day; ((((HUGS)))) to all who want/need one.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Afternoon

    Managed to drag DH to Hospital, they said he had bruising and concusion and to go to his doctor for a check up - but i thought that was what A & E were supposed to do :confused:, anyway he said i'm not bothering to go to DR's so there you have it. I wish the stain was as easy to solve.

    Tea tonight Barnsley Chops mash and asparagus all shop bought :o:D.

    Just going to make Oatmeal muffins and Lemon muffins :D

    We're going to take the kids here tomorrow. so need to get picnic sorted, big play area for them to use up a bit of energy.

    Just heard from DSIL she has broke her knee :eek: on holiday in suffolk and spent til 4.30am at the hospital, she fell down a hole watching chinese lanterns :eek:

    Sistercas - I love Flamingo Land :D
    Bitsy - :eek: @ Weevels

    Hope you've had a good day x

    If it really won't come out, have you checked your insurance? They may be happy to pay for it to be cleaned or even to replace it if you have accidental damage cover.

    Or they may recommend a company like Chem-Dry here - their website has stain-cleaning tips, and I know my insurers use them for stained carpets after leaks :rolleyes:

    Afternoon all

    Back from work, having a late lunch and giving my poor tired feet a rest!
    It's brightened up beautifully here today so will go out to the garden and enjoy the sunshine in a minute. The first job will be to de-caterpillar the cabbages.

    Also watched the Economy gastronomy programme last night. Liked some of the recipes on the two programmes so will have a browse on the bbc site this evening for them.

    Dinner tonight will be trout with home grown potatoes and runner beans. Have been trying to eat more healthily this week (not helped by OH bringing home pate & crackers last night - had to indulge a little not to upset him :rolleyes:) so have made a batch of HM smoothie for work and frozen it ready in bottles.
    Anyway, time to put on DW & WM.

    Happy birthday Elona & Miss N9eav :bdaycake:

    Have a good evening everyone

    I think it will be fine - self raising flour isn't common in the US, so it probably means plain (or all-purpose flour) :)

    I couldn't find it in Germany either, but that might have just been me being thick.
