Blackbeard_of_Perranporth

Second half, bang on get it. BoP was on the box and is yous missed it, repeated at 1:30 and a bit later. Second half, Throw in. Now no drooooooooooling or fooling there.

Special Naughty Naughty today as well!

5 Nows how many times has I tolds yous lot about engagement of lugs and lips through to finger tips. Not that any of yous lot need guidance from a hairy ruffian like me. But niece, decided to put up a FaceTwit post about some commercial organisation, concerning things made of rubbed and little todgers. Well, dear, they may be about Summer, but summer it is not. So, do not complain when non entities in your league of fiends (In sucess of 100+) decide to tell others about your post. Yes they could be related to bankers, with words that Mr Lydon used in the Winter Gardens (Now demolished and a car lot) in Cleethorpes a few years back .But alas, it has been said, and it will go down in the annals of the family album just like the cousin whom was bare faced a couple to clicks back. Never mind, I hears you all shout, well, in days of film and yaw yaw yawn, we used to snap and flash once with the left camera on the side. Bum faced cheek it was, especially when your photos did come back, but unless you knew whom cheek it was, it ended up in a chuckle bucket where, eventually it was lost. That is apart from Mrs A from T. Was kept as some amusement!

4 Well, one of the flock got clattered last night, but it was not me.

3 Tomorrow, TinPots again DD. So no heel snapping in the Premiership.

2 Nite games, with a squash of wobbleade as well. Details of the scrabble event, with live interactive reports from 7:30 this very evening. Hopefully it will not be as close as some recent matches. And no forgets yous lot, to support BoP.

Had forgets what I was to say. Oh, Hugs to

Sparra :heartpuls :heartpuls Thinks by nows, Big Chief MSE could as a Hairy Ribble avatar to boot.

Soups. Yep, only the French have no body in soups. Clear soups, that will be an oxo in water!

DFV They puts lights at top tall building to warn pilots they are too low. I have no idea why they are coloured red.

Eh Mhags, determined not to abuse Aussie terms. Now dear, do the decent thing and get them ashes off these decadent peoples.

DD Bus fare back in the sky rocket. It doubles up.

Oh and it is Friday. Who amongst the flock had their Crunchie early, naughty naughty! Oh and Frith. Another decent nite atop of wooden hill.

And Raffles, yes yous all wanna to nose about Raffles. He is eating his Fish (note to DD, he has mariner traits!) Has finally noted the sound of the car and was outside the last fine evening to greet our return. Accidently, well, yous nose what cats are like when eating, trod on his tail this morning. I will not do it again.

CCP, cats do not have balls, they have ping pong balls

Poor Ms Ennis. That was good luck, but bad timing!

Just had me toasted fox, now for some claws. (Crabs)

1 The footprints on the beach, are washed away by the tide. Some places, the tide does not exist!

I'm back sorry it's been a mental couple of days with the house renovations and usual mother/wife duties.

Yesterday
1 went to makro and spent just 34p on 12 reduced rolls for dh lunches, I'm not due to shop there till the end of the month but my mum invited me out for the day lol.

2 pulled out 1/2 the spag Bol mince leftover and turned it into cottage pie. Was yummy and I had frozen mash so hardly had to do anything
Put each portion on a plate and nuked it, the rest un heated went into the freezer (enough for 2 adults left).

3 got in pjs at 5 and turned the heating down after kids went to bed and caught up with some soaps.

4 set the timer on the central heating to see if it makes a difference?

5 turned everything off before bed like a mad woman except for the house phone and modem.


TODAY

1 over slept and just made it I time for ds1's school bell.

2 dh working at the house with his friend an electrician and his friend a builder so I used the cobs from makro and took them lunch, as well as the sausage rolls I had frozen from Xmas buffet, some crisps and a chocolate bar to keep them going.

3 went to tesco used my "we owe you £xxx" vouchers got £3.98 off used cash in my pocket and only had to pay on my card £5. Went to the deli and only bought what I needed for the pizzas tonight (luncheon meat very cheap!!! 28p 100g And salami 98p 100g, 1 large tomato 34p, sr flour 45p)

4 googled yeast free pizza bases using sr flour, part baked base to rise for a deep pan effect then topped. Cut the potatoes into fries size coated in oil ready to go in the oven when dh comes home. Kids ate theirs and loved it, they decorated their own.

£21.30 is how much our pizzas would have cost ordering in and I've been making our own and it probably cost us around £2.77 that's x1 12 inch pizza and two 10 inch pizzasand large oven fries (less fattening) saving £18.53!! Very chuffed!

5 white wash been put on, hopefully I get to go to the gym soon when dh comes home so I can burn some fat off before I eat this pizza!!!

Then it's pamper night for me, long shower, deep condition hair with mayo olive oil and conditioner mixed together, paint nails and glass of ros!.

Broomstick

(((Sparrer))) - more hugs, just because.
Kittikins, how has your week gone?

Five pleasures for Friday:

1. Weighed myself and have lost 4lb. I know this is only because it's week one and I've gone wheat free again but it's a cheering sort of start.

2. Went for a walk into town to get the steps in. Have already done over 4000 today so that's my five lots ticked off for this week. It's 4250+ daily from tomorrow.

3. Only stopped at one shop to buy elastic which was to help hitch up my trews which keep falling down. I don't think it counts as an unnecessary spend, more of a repair, and a very necessary and welcome repair at that.

4. The lovely environmental people's automated phone service rang to say that we have gone off Flood Warning and are only on alert. :T Hope everyone else will be getting these messages asap.

5. Cheering chat with a friend on the phone.

Keep warm and dry. Sweet dreams

Sorry. Scrabble not on tonight. Film nite.

Battle of Britain.

Forty seven German planes were destroyed for the loss of only Fifteen of our own aircraft. Bl oo dy good this, tons down in flames, what!

DigForVictory

Caterina - always nice to get a smashing colour at a reasonable price!
Broomstick - Have his carcase? (dives off for iPlayer) A late Christmas present is a lovely treat. Enjoy the skies & I hope the weather cooperates! Lost 4lb & have to re-elastic trews? Wheat free effective!
mhagster - ah, lollies is Aus for sweeties? Like trunk is US for boot? Naturally you use the Aus term to Aus law enforcement! Ah unexpected language & bribery - nice to hear motherhood as I know it.
DD - you reverbed a squid?! Awe! And found earring! Hurrah!
CCP - got the blazer & PC back? (Library computer answers still valid.) Glad boots cooperating & Isis doing rythmic gymnastics with her ball!
BoP - hope Scrabble OK? [Ah, film night.] A day of Oxo? Joys... I reckon Mrs Ennis has been startled by Fate but am very happy for her.
CNOM - makro rolls giving full value for money! Oversleeping so long as you don't miss school isn't *really* oversleeping... Well done on the pizza & pampering!
Chickenopolis - what does terrier make of harness? (Fun chew toy?!)

OS pleasures today
I'm not sure if it's a good thing, but the engine management warming light has gone off. And now back on again. Reassuring, sort of.

The terrifying henhouse, that was horribly unsafe & we eventually felled, will become part of the Scout woodpile!

In a debate over reasonable as opposed to ratty clothing, my contributions brought laughter. But then I was advocating blackmail or rohypnol - not everyone likes clothes shopping after all...

Vimto crisis - colleague has finished the bottle! Voices around the office and purple bottles meerkating as lamentation understood. All now calmed & Vimto foray planned. (Given lack of access to file storage & lack of Vimto, clear where priorities lie!)

Hero for bringing home asda RTC pizza supper. (Toad for forgetting the garlic bread.)


Big hugs to those who need them, brollies & sleep all round & all the best for a good weekend.

VickyA_2

Broomstick - I do surveys via Maximiles and I exchange the appropriate number of points for JL vouchers. Takes a while to save up, especially if you're me, but worth it when the vouchers tumble through the letter box!

Caterina - big hugs to you x

I had a bit of a meltdown at work during the week and my headteacher had me sobbing on her for a good 45mins. Feel slightly better having got it out of me, but still feel a bit wobbly.:o

However, I should be glad for my health. Too many friends have been ill recently, although my consumption of gin may well have something to do with keeping me going. (not too much, but just enough )

So, my pleasures:

1) Sausages for supper. I realise that it must seem that we ALWAYS have sausages for supper, but as I have them in the freezer they may as well be cooked and eaten. I get them from this wonderful pork butcher, Grasmere Farm, who are based locally.

2) Sold one of my books on Amazon. I was almost giddy with delight. After fees & postage I'll probably be left with diddly squat, but hey it's the fact that someone wants MY book. :j :j

3) I've been playing around with this Demotivator tool on some website or other. It's fab! :money:

4) Leftover bananas at school - going brown, so would be walking by Monday, so duly brought home for snacks!

5) Just checked and a large payout from Top Cashback is heading my way! :j :j It will be going straight into my savings...

Frith

VickyA - I'm trying to re-jig my mortgage, it's so complicated I keep giving up thinking about it! Sorry to hear you were upset at work. :-(


Here are my pleasures for today:


1) Not a bad sleep, but too short again.


2) Sons OK at school.


3) The information came from the speech therapist. Lots of exercises for smaller son to do and a massive questionnaire to fill in.


4) Had the reappearing casserole for lunch! (Had it Wednesday tea time and Thursday lunchtime as well).


5) Popped into Ludlow and looked round the charity shops. In the last one I looked in (Oxfam) found some Abercrombie jeans, a really thick Next cardigan and another fleece which all fit both sons.


6) Went swimming with sons and my brother and talked to one of the older ladies who must swim there every day. She is getting her second cataract done on Tuesday.


7) Put baked potatoes in the oven just as we went swimming so they were just right on our return, with tuna and mayonnaise.


8) Just put bread in the breadmaker for tomorrow and put a jelly with oranges in the fridge. Still using up lots of fruit and veg from when I accidentally ordered 2 veg boxes! Only half a celeriac left but still left with broccoli, watercress and a white cabbage...


And one from yesterday: I asked bigger son to do the washing up for me. This is how smaller son found it when he went in to dry up....

Chicken Kenny Everett was like marmite, love him or hate him. I swung from one extreme to the other, just like he did!
Thank you BoP
Thank you Broomstick
(you'll all have me blubbering in a minute and the eyes are only just beginning to stop looking like rhubarb and custard! )
DfV no garlic bread? Quelle horreur!
CCP hope the comp gets sorted/replaced, blue screen is scary

1. Went to a friend for coffee where we put the world to rights
2. On the way I stopped at Mr M and bought a pretty gerbera rtc £1.50p and two slices of fresh cream cheesecake rtc for 55p. I did take the ys's off before I arrived! Feel a bit mean about it but needs must
3. DD's Korean Jindo returned from the stud, everything crossed for a successful result
4. The Yorkshire friend I'm going to stay with next week invited me a day early to take in another friend's birthday so what was originally a 5 day break is now 8 days. If it doesn't snow. I've a feeling that either I'll not get there at all or be snowbound up there for 3 weeks! Doglet is going to have a whale of a time with her two little Miniature Schnauzer girls
5. Piers Morgans Life Stories with Mary Berry. She was a bit of a lass when she was younger

Sweet dreams

Caterina

1- bootcamp in the sunshine
2- matinee cinema outing with DD to se The Railway Man, wonderful film much recommended!
3- managed to finish lesson 2 of my Excel Expert course at college after cinema

Good night! x
