  • Good morning everyone :beer: Thank you for your Birthday Wishes :bdaycake: I have friends coming for lunch, then we're going for a walk on The Wolds, followed by tea and cake in a local market town :j

    My family bought me an owl Pandora charm; I've also been given the lastest book from The Idler, a book on self sufficiency, a book on climate change and a piggy hook :D DH has rung me from China; he took me out with some friends on Friday to a lovely bistro in York ;) That table in the window in that link is where we sat :T

    The children have [STRIKE]threatened[/STRIKE] promised to make me a cake :T Hope they tidy up ;)

    Off to find a list, as I want to do sometthing this morning, and make a quiche for lunch :D

    I've got DD at home as well now - she says she's got tummy ache and a sore throat - she has got a bit of a cough so I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt seeing as I'm at home anyway - not sure whether she's swinging the lead though!

    I probably won't get very far with the LR as that's where the kids are so that will probably wait until later in the week.

    I need to go and sort the recycling out now as I'm not sure what time they come as I'm normally at work.
