Evening

OT - So sorry to hear about LBH.
Chicken - May have buns of steel but still have thighs of thunder:rotfl:
CCP - Hope you have a better day tomorrow

Pleasures for today,
1. Baking and cooking this morning before work. We are having a charity bake day tomorrow in the office for Moonwalk funds and as I am out of the office tomorrow took my contribution in today. Made toffee and pecan muffins (using an AF mix:o), Cheese, onion and pepperoni muffins and 8 portions of chilli and rice.
2. Got the kitchen tidy again before work after all the cooking
3. A couple of the toffee muffins got squashed in transportation so had to eat one. In the interests of keeping everything looking tidy, they were quite yummy
4. Remembered to take lunch into work with me so NSD and didn't have to go out in the rain.
5. DD and OH cooking dinner together. Should I be worried, probably :rotfl:

Hugs to all who need them

Aww so sorry to hear about LBH.

For today

1. "working at home". Did do a bit, but spent most of the day cleaning the house.
2. Left over pasta for lunch from last night's tea - t'was scrummy
3. DS has gone into a higher maths group and loves it. :j Said he now realises that the lower one was holding him back
4. Enjoyed listening to my itunes while i marked.
5. Made lentil shepherds pie for tea, with 2 portions for freezing (DD has gone vegetarian so I am trying to build up a stock for her) and made "grandad pie" (corned beef hash) for DS with 3 portions for freezing. I will never run my freezers down this way!

About to go watch waterloo road, with my knitting - not that my knitting is keen on it! :rotfl:

Frith

Sorry to hear about LBH. Mum and dad have trouble with badgers getting into their hen pens, they have to devise all sorts of ingenious locks.

5 or so for today.

1) Boys off to school happily.

2) Both on silver on the behaviour board and smaller son had fun at school swimming. The little rouk who has bullied him for years decided to grab him on the bus and spray deodorant in his mouth but the teacher saw and bully had to sit on the side at swimming and miss out.

3) Brother said he would help me replace 2 window frames downstairs (the rain was leaking in from them and also down the chimney).

4) Went on the PPP parenting course. Such an annoying couple there, always butting in and turning the discussions round to be about them. Half way through I noticed that Mr Annoying looks a lot like Barry Chuckle of the Chuckle Brothers so that cheered me up.

5) Played stuck in the mud outside after tea.

6) Texts from OH. :-)

1. I heard it needs to come down a lot more yet, the reservoirs aren't filling cos it's the wrong sort of rain :rotfl:

2. Have put the growbags in place ready for the tomatoes, which I daren't put out yet in case they drown. However the growbags aren't going to waste, the mogs are using them to snooze on between downpours. Daft mogs

3. Went to coffee with a friend, her little DD was changing the television channels and stopped on one, a comedy/drama/suspense which had us held in hysterics/shock/disgust. You've maybe heard of it as it's been on for some time now - it's called the Jeremy Kyle Show. So much for the standard of British television, but I guess it did 'entertain' us for a while :eek:

4. Was cleaning the kitchen doors and a strong spicy smell was coming from the candle cupboard. It was coming from a 'candle within a candle' with a lovely tweedy smell so have brought it out and it's scenting the lounge without even being lit. Bargain

5. Excellent meeting this evening with friends and a new lady who, I learned, lives just round the corner from me. I know how difficult it is to walk into a room full of strangers so have offered to pick her up next week for which she was very grateful

Night night

Thank you all for your shares, mhagster, great news and may it continue, OT -poor wee hen and poor you to have the horrible shock of finding her, CCP, what a mixed day for you, Frith, I love reading about bullies getting a comeuppance, Chicken - my sister has suffered for years with dermatitis in the inner ear caused by wearing ear defenders for a long summer when she was between jobs and helping my brother in his business.

OK ... not all OS exactly, but some pleasures.
1) I have bitten the bullet and leased a tiny share in Angrove Rumbaba, Racehorse. I am childishly excited about this.
2) A huge pile of yellow stickered fruit bought at Mr T's, peaches, nectarines, satsumas, apples ...
3) Some lovely free laundry gel sent to trial.
4) Finally collared a learner on the phone at his work - I only get paid for him if I speak to him to set a learning plan and he was maddeningly elusive.
5) Discovered that Mr T's Finest vanilla chai was every bit as nice as my favourite chai, which seems to have disappeared from the shelves. I don't have alcohol in the house usually, so I like lots of different, tempting things to drink as a 'reward'.
6) Smashing night at the live music club - highlight was a performance from a singer who played in the area forty years ago, then moved away to live. He has Parkinson's now but still has a fine clear singing voice and gave us some lovely old favourites, including some seldom heard.

Good morning all !

Thank you all for your kind wishes about my 'orrible ears
mculloch -ooooh , how exciting that you have a share in "Rummy" I am sure that he will give you a lot of fun! I am going to Ascot next week courtesy of free tickets on this site :money: He is not running there is he??

sparrer, at least they are not using it as a litter tray. Anything I put in my garden gets used as the local kitty toilet

For yesterday

1. bacon sarnie for breakfast
2. team lunch booked, so afternoon off work soon (will have to make up the time or use annual leave but at least its time off the phones)
3. Manager has brought us a "treats" tin, so delved in and had some chocolate
4. KFC for tea, feeling lazy
5. DS is going on trip to South Africa with college to help build a school. Have to pay for flights and accommodation and so will use his 18th/21st birthday fund (have been saving £10 a month for a couple of years) and family have said they will help, but he has to raise £300 sponsorship :eek: Anyway the pleasure is that I had a few thoughts about helping him raising the money. I will ask about running a blackout at work, and maybe do one for family, friends and neighbours as many people are getting fed up of just giving money, and if there is a chance of winning something they may be more willing to part with their cash
He already did a sponsored bike ride last year (age 15) for McMillan so am trying to find some different ways to raise money.

And Millie's - hope both are OK.

Chicken - hope your ears are better today

Skint - what's a blackout? I am looking to do the Race FOr Life, but asked for sponsorship last year for the Great North Run, so would like to do something different.

Waterloo Road was pants - but not as bad as Jeremy Kyle. :rotfl:

Have a good day everyone.
