PK - get well now please !

Dundee - how exciting ! Here are a few suggestions : stand up comedy - you know one of those open mike thingy's, drive a combine harvester , mile high club (oops sorry):rotfl:, sponsored silence (!), gallop a horse along the beach bareback that type of thing??

:rotfl: sponsored silence. You know me too well
Driving a combine sounds fun. Mile high club sounds :blushing:
Stand up comedy -i'm sure that's how all my lectures are :rotfl:
But yes that sorta thing (rather terrified of horses though also rather terrified to admit that on this thread!) roday someone has offered to teach me how to make sushi and i'm going to either shear a sheep or do a sheep pedicure:cool: oh and shake a bucket for children first so list coming on nicely :-)
1) mumbrought round a very nice little incense burner with incense for me. She's doing a fly lady
2) lidl shop £80 so not brill but not too disasterous
3) we got to third in medals (though now 4th) go team gb:T
4) i can hear an owl
5) Had a flake nom nom. My idea of a triatholon is a flake, a crunchie and a cream egg. My PT has her work cut out :beer:

5 for now. Good quiz, but someone only got one wrong, so cums second

4 Bangers are being grilled, toms are chopped, mushrooms are frying. Should I poach the eggs?

2 Popping out to get a glass of wobbleade later, Good Honest Ales I think.

1 Let me tell you a riddle, that is true. The beast had been slain, some days ago. The killer had been tamed. Little workers did such wonders to the cat.

Time for treacle sponge I think?

5 Them pills are funtustic. Juts makes me watching Olmpics, think of altering the Sports. Ok, so here goes for some changes today. How about putting a shark in the swimming pool and he has to takle out the last one on the turns. That will speed them up a bit! Not forgettiug the rowing, how about a torpedo boat half way?

:rotfl::rotfl:Now that even I would pay top dollar to see !

Definitely jealous, VJsmum! I also found the following while browsing for ideas to add to my ever-growing bucket list, some of which I don't think I'll be adding (but wish I had the nerve!)...

1. Make vanilla pudding, put in mayo jar, eat in public
2. Get into a crowded lift and say 'You're probably all wondering why I gathered you here today...'
3. Run into a store and ask what year it is. When someone answers, yell 'IT WORKED!' and run out cheering
4. Buy a parrot, teach the parrot to say 'Help, I've been turned into a parrot!' - I'm working on this one, my daughter has a parrot I'm trying to teach

In reality my list includes night fishing (never been fishing in my life, but hey, why not?!)
Visit the little town in Mass. where my forefathers settled, and join in the annual Peace Pagoda walk
Learn more Cantonese and attend a convention of my fellowship in HK
Milk a cow!
etc etc...

Back to reality, the big pleasure of the morning was getting the lawn mowed before the deluge, it came down in sheets so hard could barely see out of the window :eek:. Stopped now and the sun is out again so back to doing the edges then Olympics, of course. Will definitely be looking out for torpedos and sharks :rotfl:

Good afternoon all

My pleasures for the day:

1 - Turned the 2-day old leftover pancake batter into pakoras, adding a handful of spinach from the garden and a few mushrooms that were in dire need of being used. Lots of oil left after frying the lot, so added a few more mushrooms, half a pepper, a bit of gram flour, water and spices, and made even more pakoras. The family scoffed them all!

2 - The TV aerial man is coming to replace our old aerial and tune our TV. It is going to cost quite a bit (£189) but it will pay for itself in 13 months, as we have cancelled Virgin. We don't watch lots of TV so the main 5 channels are sufficient for us, although it is possible that we might get more with the new, more efficient aerial.

3 - DH drove me to Lidl to do my birthday party shopping and it came within budget (already got the booze the other day with £5 off voucher at Aldi).

4 - Market shopping for veg, realised I did not need quite as much as usual as we have greens, beans and lettuces in the garden and allotment, so total veg spend was £1.70. Bargain!

5 - It is so lovely to have DH back!

Have a good day all x

Evening all.

I now know why I felt so off-colour yesterday - I've got a cold.

1) After spending most of the night lying awake coughing, I finally got to sleep just after 6am, so I had a lie-in to make up for it a bit.

2) My favourite brunch of hard-boiled eggs on buttered HM bread. :drool:

3) Watching the Olympics, including yet more medals. :j

4) Decided to make a pizza rather than buying one. :money:

5) More medals! :j:j

Have a nice evening, all - I'm going to go and watch some more medals.

Evening! Quickly, just before tea, I've got some pleasures to post. Here goes!

1. Watching the Olympics - it has been nice to watch sport all day.
2. Got both freezers defrosted.
3. Made a lovely chicken & ham pie for tea, with homemade chips.
4. Used a coconut oil treatment on my hair and it feels nice & soft.
5. Today has been an NSD! Also, I haven't taken my car out so haven't used fuel either
6. We've had about 3 lovely cracking thunderstorms today.

The beeper on my oven is about to go, and I'm going to dish up my lovely pie ... I make it all in one so when the bacon & chicken are browned I add flour and stock to make a sauce ... mmm

I'm going to enjoy this

Sparrer - good luck with the parrot

Frith - Happy Birthday Master Frith, hope he's had a great day x

1. Sunshine

2. Neighbour gave me DD £5 to buy her a treat.....he's kind of becoming a grandad to her, but I am a little worried about his flirting with me! So, I bought her some posh cheese from the market that she loved to bits and a punnet of strawberries that barely touched the sides.

3. Put a teensy bit of petrol in the car, so no NSD for me

4. DD restrained me from going into the big MrT's to see if there were bargains, reminding me that we have lots of food at home...

5. Did some weeding

6. Finally put up our bathroom sign - we don't have a lock on the door, so will turn the sign over when its occupied, its very cute.

7. Finally put a hook in the back of the bathroom door for dressing gowns

8. Planning on using a drill for the first time later to put up a towel rail and possibly the loo roll holder!

9. Have started stripping wallpaper in the kitchen, am just going to do the bits I can reach, no standing on ladders for me, my papa can hopefully do the rest at some point!!

10. Dinner was delicious - defrosted leftovers from the freezer, with rice. I had to persuade DD to try the 'green stuff', spinach dahl, but when I did, she loved it and had seconds
