Have a good sunday everyone x

1. Met a friend for coffee. It has been a while since we had had a chance to chat.

2. Having uneventful journey to and back from rugby by train. There had been problems on my line most of the day.

3. Meeting fellow supporters at rugby and chatting. The rugby was better than some we have watched this season but still lost.

4. Wandered round London and saw China town on way home with DH and DS1.

Six!

Coffees and trains! Bacon Butties. Aye, Mariners were better, but the online feeds were all jumbled up! As for the cricket, lose today and bring them home, no BoP. One word. Pieterson!

If we do not get a decent 600 for 0 today, bring them home and put them inn stocks in Trafalgar Square.

Rant on! Meal, wine, bath, bed! And the washing is done! Emmett Brown! Pens! Unpacking a pleasure! Bloody Christmas come early!

5 Got the rotten veg ready for the cricket team, top of the heap, compost heap that! Ours is not very big, just peel and scraps. As we only buy enuff to eat, no waste! Talking of no waste, the Jam Sponge from last Sunday has festered in the fridge next to the chrimbo pudding of last. It is about to be steamed for Lumpy Instant Custards, none foamed packet version. Before we have salmon, poached this week with tatties, mushy instant peas from bullets, None Harry variety! And home maid Parsley Sauce. Mr Knorr has bin on phone for recipe!

As for yesterday. Forgets to mention that while cooking the snorker fest breakfast, BoP had a kitchen disaster of mega proportions. The egg, of poaching for BoPsie plate, exploded into smithereens, everywhere. Fortunately no other victims were caught and a full snorker fest was eaten as normal. BoPsie soon had the kitchen returned to normal.

4 Last eve BoPsie, whom I thought had found an Norma film for BoP to ogle at, had in fact slipped it to a Tracey film. Broken Lance. Was true as it was in cinemascope and in colour, by deluxe as well.

Dastardly was it!

3 Did the shop this week, and managed to get the whole lot in for £24. Including the fact that the blue packet w8rz raffle food, the only variety he wolf's down. And his treat sticks were on offer as well. They have been checked inn by Raffles, who is currently out for the count.

2 Nite is a games night. May do a live Scrabble event. Please remember that BoPsie is only one win away from the chance of getting two wins on the bounce

1 Still have no idea who this Lucy was!

Emergency Edit, after being sponged

I may have given the indication in recent times that the Jam sponged, so beaten and steamed by BoP last weekend would make it through to March, has, unfortunately been so good, it is unlikely now to make it through the week. I will of curse, keep you abreast of ideas about the expectant lumpy custard, and let you know when it is reduced to crumbs.


Sits back, gets hands attacked by Raffles while typing this post, and rubs tum.

Evening all

Five pleasures for Sunday:

1. Woke early to a tidy house. I've done lotsof sorting out while the DSs were away.

2. Lovely avocado pear with my lunch.

3. Started knitting a tea-cosy.

4. Good long chat on the phone with a friend who is running a similar sports set-up to ours.

5. For all you other knitters out there, I discovered this series of Kaffe Fassett programmes on 4od. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/glorious-colour/on-demand/6665-001
Lovely, gentle, inspirational. The walls in programme 3 (which is as far as I have got) make me want to design things.

Sweet dreams

Greetings from the first class lounge, where DD and I are happily sat together on our computers . We met in London for dinner and she is seeing me onto my train before going home.

Had a horrid experience yesterday when she thought she was meeting me yesterday and I thought it was today. Happily she could come in to town again today and is much brighter than she was yesterday.

Thanks for the kind thoughts about my "unconscious thing", I have made an appointment for a weeks time, but I think it might be something called Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome or PoTS. That'd be right, I always knew I was potty :cool: :rotfl:

Good luck tomorrow kittikins
Hope you feel better soon skint

Pleasures for the last few

1 dad was very chipper. And had a great conversation with brothers girlfriend who I haven't really talked to much even though they have been together for nine years

3 managed to get in and out of hollister without a torch :rotfl:
4 Cooke dad and I fabulous steak and chips for tea
5 finally getting towards the end of the marking
6 no replacement buses today, though yesterday's were grim
7 garden full of open daffodils
8 a walk by the sea
9 mil brought me some tulips
10 seeing DD

Slaters all

DD the soup sounds good, I particularly like the walking the dogs bit. Does it give it more strength?
greywitch thank you for mentioning the books, they sound just the sort of thing I enjoy so will look in the library for them
Skint I'm sorry you're still suffering, please get well now

1. A power cut yesterday so no hw, but it came back overnight so enjoyed a long hot shower this morning
2. I was able to wear my new to me green sweater this morning as the weather has turned so cold again. A Jaeger bought a couple of weeks ago at the Dr B shop for £2.25p.
3. Lunch with friends then shopping in Mr M. Arrived 20 minutes before they closed and found 2 rotisserie chickens for 19p each and a bag of 8 mixed rolls for 5p.
4. Rotisserie chicken for the mogs, dog and me for tea
5. Call the Midwife, especially good this evening

Sweet dreams

Evening everyone :hello:

Skint yet Again - although my friend lives near the "Torch", she was in blissful ignorance to the fire. Thank goodness all inhabitants were ok.

1) My student has planned the lessons for tomorrow in school, thank goodness! However, I've given her a few pointers/suggestions for her to consider - hopefully in a nice way!

2) Trip to Mr T's with DH. We got there when it opened, so the store was relatively quiet for once.

3) Soup for lunch. It was delicious!

4) Read my book.

5) Decluttered a little more. Still loads to go at.

6) Told the place I work at over the summer that I will return for another Harvest campaign. Well, if it means another trip to see my friend in Dubai, then I'm willing to give it a go!

7) Spoken to my parents.

8) Baked my cake for tomorrow night's cake club. Our theme is "A night at the movies" and I've made a "When Harry Met Sally apple cake"!
