    I'm here! Morning Elli and Bookie, and everyone who follows.

    I'm seeing my MH outreach worker this afternoon. Then I've got Italian, a meal out with ex (in hindsight betting him a meal out that Leeds would beat Liverpool was never going to go my way!), then driving to Skegness to pick sister up after her shift.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Im at work :( although its a beautiful day outside so that always puts a smile on my face! Got to go into town this afternoon to buy a present for a b'day party B is going to on Sunday and also get some cotton so I can finish sewing some christmas presents. Not a lot else on, will probably take B to playpark if it stays sunny

  • I have had my coffee on the deck - very refreshing out there at 7.30!
    My car was frozen over.

    Today I am going to the big shopping centre off the M1. They are having a recruitment 'fair' for Christmas staff. Maybe I can get a temp job with M&S.
    Meeting DD1 and little man there.
    I have to go to County Office later to sort out Saturday and then we have a meeting later. At least it saves me putting on the heating!
  • Morning all,

    I've got an hour to kill before my next lecture and no idea what to do. Think I'll just mess about on here for a bit...

    morning peeps :wave: logged on at work! don't tell the boss!!

    Lou, so sorry to hear about your cat :( cats are very good at hiding symptoms til they are quite ill. I have my Spice's ashes in a casket. When i get a house i'll get a big plant pot to bury him under a nice bush, with his sister.
    Cats don't have owners - they have staff!! :D:p

    Is that a shopping centre beginning with F bookie? I used to go there all the time when I lived in your neck of the woods

    Morning all

    Looks gorgeous out there today. Need to get to the uniform shop that's about 18 miles away so off to play with the buses (get's me out for a bit too). DH took some new tablets last night - spaced isn't the word, didn't help painwise or sleep wise though...think he will spend the majority of the day dozing.

    Lou - so sad to read about your moggy.

    Bookie - Good luck at the recruitment thingy - I got a xmas temp job that way and stayed on and worked my way up.

    Sally have you made any more monkies? I brought some baby socks in the pound shop yesterday, going to try and make keyring sized ones...eeek!

    for a 2.5 litre slow cooker:
    25g butter
    100g pudding rice
    100g sugar
    1 litre milk
    grated nutmeg

    for 4.5 litre slow cooker
    40g butter
    150g pudding rice
    150g sugar
    11/2 litres milk
    grated nutmeg

    Butter inside of the crockpot, add all ingredients and cook for 4/5 hours depending on how thick you want it.

    I use nutmeg powder, you know the stuff you get in spice jars... can also add raisins, sultanas etc.

    Tis yummy x
