Morning all :hello:

MSD - Glad to hear Tris is online. At least if he is complaining about his pain, you know he's well enough to do that IYSWIM?
Sunnygirl - Hope you feel better soon

I have finally compiled the family's Christmas lists on a new wizzy spreadsheet and sent it all round. We're extremely late in doing this this year, I normally like to have my shopping down by the end of October, but with the house move I've been distracted and typically the family have just waited for me to sort it :rolleyes: It's a very good spreadsheet though - I must've spent at least 2 hours feeling smug exclusively about it Am going shopping with my Mum on Saturday morning so will pick up the bits that it's not cheaper to get online and I need some kilner jars as I want to give these http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2920/christmas-muffin-mix as gifts too.

Lunch today is leftover risotto for me and l/o chilli & wraps for DH. Tea tonight is probably going to be egg, chips & beans on account of having to do the dreaded Tesco shop tonight!!

Have a lovely day all, huggles to all especially those poorly sick :grouphug:

PP - :hello:

didn't get chance to read or post yesterday - just too hectic but I've got 2 days off now:j
We're off later to collect 3 sleeping bags from freecycle(for my doggies:D) then into town to buy some things to help DS1 out in his first flat - mainly kitchen things. The house is clean and tidy - washing hanging on airer.
I'm off to clean at mums soon before Dh gets home from work.

have a great day all x

Morning all

Finally feeling a little more normal this morning. It is my day off too so I will have chance to recover fully before going back to work on friday.:D

I have an appt at the hospital this morning at 11.30 so that will take up most of the day - it is the other side of town so with travelling will probably take about 3-4 hours in total. Hopefully I might hear when I am going to have my op :rolleyes:

I will have to call at the library either before or after as my books were due back yest and I forgot with feeling so rough so will have a fine to pay now:mad: Ah well can't be helped.

Diva glad Tris is back on line, hope his pain eases.
SunnyGirl glad to hear you are feeling better too.
Molly glad your DD had such a good time and returned safely too - it is so maddening when some taxi drivers do that just because they are young. Luckily it is the minority who take advantage.
Redruby hope your OH recovers quickly. We are in the same position as my OH doesn't get paid either if he is off sick and it is strange how your heart sinks when they are ill!
Hester had to laugh at your friend taking the side of the bath off - how resourceful!

Right need to get some bits done before I go to the hospital. Have a good day everyone

Hi all

About to go to hairdressers shortly to get my hair sorted....I washed it yesterday and didnt straighten in as I know I was getting colour done today...woke up like Jamie afro this morning:eek:;):o my hair is down to the middle of my back and it was all sticking up curls, have had to put gel and clips in to calm it down:rotfl:
It is 3 years today since I met OH....not that we are going out tonight or anything to celebrate but I am making a bit of a meal later and spending some chill out time together.
I have a huge pile of ironing to do this afternoon again.
i am another one whose OH doesnt get paid when he is ill...I dread his migraines as just a couple of days a month can set us right back:rolleyes: .
Did online shop yesterday for next week and came in at £46 inc delivery so am chuffed with that.
Am still searching for cheapest PS3 for DS for xmas.....they have them at Sainsburys apparently for £199 which is £50 off until 17th Nov but none in stock at the mo:rolleyes:
Well better get moving
have good days all

Morning all!

Thought with the kids being back that my routine would return to normal, but have had oh here most of the time between his shifts, so have been taking advantage (do not insert any smutty comments here!), so far we have done assorted house bits and started to clear the garage of doom! I swear that the men at the tip were convinced we were professional house emptiers, still have tons of stuff to go, unfort oh is out playing golf today so won't be able to crack the whip, and I also have two icky children off school - think it is due to phlegm that they were sick rather than anything more serious.

OS stuff is going to involve cleaning and tidying round, S&S the kitchen when dd2 has got on and done the pots she should've done last night after dinner! Will also have another bash at the garage and see how far I get, the tip is on the way to the supermarket and I need to pop there for medicines and pet stuff.

Ordered some bits from www.fragrancedirect.com yesterday and it's arrived today, dd1 has requested some dkny perfume for Chrimbo and they had it for £12.99 - absolute bargain! Been browsing online for more Chrimbo stuff today, so much easier than fighting in the shops!

Hope everyone has a good day, hugs where needed, will be back for a catch up when I've done some jobs! xxx

:hello:Morning peeps
First off....Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday it was really nice of you :A

Its brighter today than it was yesterday at least we have a little sunshine....now and again anyway
Rained most of the night so everything is soggy,
Can anyone help, we have orangey coloured mushrooms sprouting up all over the back lawn they are not big ones but I am at a loss how to get rid of them ???? Don't want to use anything dangerous to LO's as DGS loves it outside in his wellies

Had a bowl of porrige for brekkie
Lunch will be chicken sarnies and fruit
Dinner sausage, mash and beans then yoghurt

OH is out snookering tonight so I will have a night on the sofa in front of the TV and Knit or crochet, have both on the go at the mo so when hands start playing up I can swap over

Diva - Yes thanks I had a lovely day. Glad Tris is online again. but sleeping is good and should give him a break from the pain
JackieO - enjoy your day out. Can I ask... which charity do you knit for???
SunnyGirl- glad you are feeling a bit better today, these colds seem to be hanging around longer than usual
Celyn - fingers crossed interview goes well for your OH
Molly - glad DD had a lovely time, but the taxi driver :mad: was way out of order
mummysaver - smutty comments!!! would'nt dream of it ;)

WM has done its stuff so will go put washing out under the back cover for a blow
Hope all the poorlys are feeling better today, and :wave:to the MIA's

Enjoy your days all

The first frost will probably splatter them - it's been very very dry this season so this is the first chance they've had to appear, but as soon as it gets cold, that normally gets rid of them.

This site is quite useful for trying to work out what they are

Another grey day here in Derbyshire. I'd love a bit of sunshine; not necessarily warmth but just a bit of blue sky.

Hopefully an NSD for me today as I shan't be leaving the house although I do want to get a bit of online Christmas shopping done. I'm trying to decide whether to buy a doll and make it some clothes for my niece. She's only little and I'm sure it'll be appreciated but then what if I don;t get them done by Christmas - a cold naked dolly! :eek:

The washer's on and the fires are lit so I should be able to get it dry without having to tumble it. I don't like the dryer but it seems to be a necessary evil.

Lunch today is going to be haslet and black pudding that my Mum is bringing from the butchers. I've had all sorts of strange cravings since the chemo started and while people will fetch things for me on a whim I'm going to make the most of it

Tea tonight will be either steak, chips, fried eggs and mushy peas or possibly steamed salmon and potatoes. Couldn't be more of a gap between healthy / unhealthy there could there

Last night we went to see Michaels Jacksons This Is It and it made me realise just how amazing the man was. We were due to be going to the 02 to see him on what will now be the last day of my chemo so we wouldn't have been able to go anyway. A couple sat chatting all the way through the film; why do people go to the cinema to chat
