Halight - hope you get something to help twins feel better. You and your wife will also feel the benefit of a good night's sleep!
Sunny here. Off to change the bedding for my sister and her husband coming for weekend. Hope the weather holds - might go to the sea or a nice river walk.
Tea is easy - she is bringing a HM steak pie yum yum. Going off to MrM in a mo to get some chicken breasts which I'll cook with spicy seasoning then cool for a salad tomorrow. That is my meal plan out of the way:T
Hope everyone has a good Fri - hope you get out for your meal tonight PenPin.

Morning all
Sunny here today, 2 loads of washing on the line & one in the machine & 1 more to go in, DS bought his washing over. DW is nearly finished, Hubby's had cooked breakfast & is now at work, fish have been fed & the budgie is chirping merrily, steak & kidney in the slow cooker, stuffed marrow in the remolska & chicken breasts are marinading in jerk seasoning. I'm having a cuppa & 5 mins on here then I must get on again.
Have a good day everyone.
Hugs Hester

Have made some soup with all the leftover veg in fridge plus stock from cooking gammon the other day - it was all cooking away before I sat down to my breakfast, so feeling smug! (How sad is that??)
Need to make some 3 fruit marmalade as DH has just polished off the last of the seville orange lot I made in January '08. Just one batch I think - 9lbs should last him until next January, surely?
Off to Norfolk on Sunday, so need to sort washing & ironing and think about packing.
Halight hope Twin1 gets sorted quickly, it's miserable when tinies aren't well as they can't tell us what's wrong with them.
N9eav - I wish I could come to your BBQ - sounds a real feast.
Mioliere - your new home sounds wonderful!
Hope you all have a good day.

Thriftlady - does that mean that woodsmoke is an aphrodisiac?!

It certainly helps, if you like the outdoorsy type:D Mind you not having seen each other for 10 days is a pretty good aphrodisiac:whistle::o:D

Well, I've made my crab apple jelly -8 jars and boy does it look gorgeous, really clear and a glorious colour. Not sure how firm it is going to be, I gave up after 15 mins boiling. I'm hoping it will firm up a bit once cool.

It is a lovely sunny day here:j so all my washing is out -2 airers plus the rotary dryer full.

Morning all :hello:

beautiful day here lovely and sunny :cool:

Washings on the line, patio and paths swept, and green bags tied up.

DS1,DIL and DGD's coming up for my nieces wedding party tomorrow night. She got married last Saturday and had a small 'do' but the main one is tomorrow night.
:jWe are looking after the girls for a week so DS1 and DIL can get the artex off all the ceiling and sand the floorboards down withoiut the girls there as it is going to be very dusty. We will take them back next weekend.
Need to go get the beds made up for them and get the toys out.

OH is off doing a job for DS2 so Lunch will be a sandwich for quickness, and Dinner no idea yet have some baking potatoes so will use them up with something.

Havent read through the last couple of days yet, not been in much so hope you are all ok, congrats to anyone celebrating, welcome to any newbies and hope all the poorlys are feeling better.(((hugs)))

Morning all-going a little bit overcast now-hope it stays fine so the washing will dry,got lots done yesterday.Little niece helped to put it on the line,so parts were still a bit damp,but she enjoyed herself.I had a disaster with my Panny yesterday,only put half the flour in-it was a 50-50 wholemeal/white,and although it smelt good baking,I knew as sooon as I opened it that something had gone wrong,then I saw the other half of flour still sat in the scales,so I had to throw out the 'loaf' .Trying again now,lol.

We are out for tea tonight,so DSons will finish off the rest of the meatballs I made yesterday,we all enjoyed them-I did them with Morroccan spices and tomato sauce(gravy for DS2 due to tomato allergy)They can put them in to a pitta,they usually like a quick tea on Fridays as they go out to the pub.

PP-hope you manage to get out and enjoy your meal.
Halight- Hope the twins get better quick,
Hugs to anyone under the weather,have a good weekend all.x

V Quick one as off for a scan!

Halight - hope Twin feels better soon.

Very jealous of the BBQ's going on - all our friends seem to be off on hols at the mo', and our garden is still in a mess, so no chance of one here, even if the weather does pick up again for the w/e.

Quick shop yesterday - didn't finish as I felt really ill and faint in ASDA and had to leave ASAP! Think it was lack of food/sugar, as felt better after sitting in car eating jelly-babies and drinking a bottle of water! Must remember to eat little & often for the baby! Still - saved me money I suppose as we'll have to make do with what I managed to grab!!!!! DSK's will be disappointed, as didn't get to the creal or the 'treats' - guess I will have to do some baking to make up for it!

Hope all have a good day!
