Jayne - am loving Pixel in the tree A most unusual tree ornament I must say!! Why not go the whole hog and put some tinsel round it's collar?!

Because every time I put her collar on, she takes it off, and I mean unfastens it properly. I may need to get her a padlock as an ID tag!
Zippychick, now that you've resized the photo, please would you explain slowly and carefully how I could do that in future?

Hi all :wave:
just popped in for a quick look round, weather has been lovely here today not warm but nice and sunny

Had a busy day one way and another, cleaned windows this AM, looked at the ironing and decided it could wait there's still room for more in there:rolleyes:
got a couple of loads done in WM but it did'nt dry , so will put it out again tomorrow.

Vac'ed through then went to shops to return a top, picked up a few bits and pieces that MIL needed and some stocking fillers, went into Poundland and they had some lovely shoulder bags like basket's in a lovely mulberry colour just right for the girls so got a couple for MIL to give them when they come up on the 19th.

Went out for a late Lunch with friends so the braised beef went back in the fridge to cook tomorrow.

Must get the pressys wrapped, and still have a few cards to write.

Hope all the poorlys are feeling better now
Off for a :coffee: and a read through
Anne

Evening all. Cat inna tree....if anyone knows how to resize it to make it smaller then please would you. If not, then this is George's cat Pixel in her new home.

Aaww, Pixel is lovely! Somewhere I've got a photo of our old cat Stanley (as in fat, not flat...) in the Christmas tree after it had been taken down & was in the garage awaiting the binmen's collection...will try & post it tomorrow.

purpleivy - I LOVE hot blancmange. Do you make it from scratch or using a packet? If you make it from scratch care to share the receipe? And stay away from the chocolate - it will be soooooo much nicer with the peanut butter squares

600ml milk of choice, I made up powder.
40g cornflour
3 tablespoons sugar (serving spoon, not measuring type!)
1 tbsp cocoa

Make as you would custard.

You can adjust the cocoa and sugar to taste. These amounts make it quite chocolatey and reasonably sweet. For me I would prefer less sugar, but it was for ds as well.

Evening all - been rushing around like a wotsit till i remembered i'm off work tomorrow - d'oh. Going to xmas lunch thing at my old w*rk and then to see dfriend's newish baby. dbro and dsis-in-law are due today too - yay - this one will be the 8th of 10 babies coming into my life between the middle of summer and the end of feb - the feb one is my dgd-to-be - lucky me!

At the end of my tether re Xmas - started to do the online food shop only to find that the nearest delivery date from Mr T is 16th december - yikes! I am setting up Crisis the next two weekends and working right up to xmas eve so it's going to be a matter of picking up bits after w*rk I think. Oh well t'is the season for me to be a total stress-head as per usual.

Love pixel in the tree - bless

Evening All

I have been in the foulest mood since I got up this morning...disturbed sleep + achey hip + hormonal tendencies + inconsiderate teenagers = one screaming raging banshee of a mother before 8am :rolleyes:

I have calmed down ...a little I sat and wrote the christmas cards out while watching Home Alone and it helped de-stress alot!

Dinner was jacket spuds with beans and cheese and DH had pie and chips. No clue whats for tomorrow but I'm working half a day as DS2 has physio and I;ve a few MS jobs to do around that so I'll maybe just pick something quick up while I'm out and about.- I have a tub of chinese curry sauce in the fridge so maybe see if I can pick up some whoopsied chicken breast.....

I think I might get sorted for an early night and hope the grumpiness disappears with a decent sleep! I dont like being moody but i do it so well :rotfl:...just chewed DS1's ear a bit for his trouble He slipped at work today and knocked himself out on a machine....when he came round the told him to take his 45 minute lunch break and then asked how he was - he said he felt a bit woozy still and they told him to take it easy but get back to work as he wouldn't be able to go home..... You see when he told me, I was for killing dead things!!! If it wasn't for the fact it would embarrass him I'd have been up that place knocking them out...see how they like it!!....o0o0o0o0o and breathe!

I need chocolate.....

Course darlin.

Click on the picture and you will see more options and menus come up

At the top left you will see an option which says resize - click that and it will bring up a wee drop down menu of different sizes

Click Medium - it will say "you are about to rezixe this pic" . Click ok

Then at the bottom right , click "post"!

Try that and see how she works xxxx
