Good point Pigpen... we know how much she hates it too! She's obviously been too busy nagging the rest of us...

Obviously... at least those she can do slobbed in bed or on a chair rather than the scootling about she's been doing.. should we be nagging her?

Morning Ladies, I'm up and about (although not quite with it - and still in PJ's of course)

Ok I admit defeat in the attic stakes :rotfl:


Hugs for Tristan. And get yourself to the dentist it could be an abcess and trust me I have had the monster of them which ended up with me at the hospital so please please get it checked out.

Note to self, Lady Lib is not around today as she is going to London to see Depeche Mode at the O2 arena. Do not forget and make yourself look stupid - again :rotfl:


This is the offending fudge and I have to say it will be a tough job keeping it until Friday, DH has already snaffled 3 pieces and he doesnt like sweet things.

White Chocolate and Cranberry Fudge



Its so nice I might even make it again ...............................................

although I will use a different method for dissolving the sugar :rotfl:

Catch ya later when I work out what the plan is for today

That looks fab Kaz xxx

Will cross off my lists tomorrow.

Hope you are all well.

Christmas shopping nearly all finished but an MOT failure and a bill for £187.00 means there won't be much more being done now.

Went to M&S today and bought 2 new bras as my others were just not doing anything for me anymore. The new ones are great. What amazes me is i have lost all that weight but the bra size has not changed by much although they feel much much smaller (says DH)

Not done any wrapping will finishe the shopping then do all the wrapping in one go.

Off to bed now don't want to be late for my coffee date tomorrow

10 am BB's Chesterfield opposite Argos everyone welcome xx

Jinky - you could try and say all the stuff in the loft is Daz's so not your responsibilty to tidy it as it was there before you moved in?!!! Do you think that would work with Toots and Pigpen?

I doubt there is anything up there anyway...he told me tonight he doesnt "do" lofts either:rotfl:

Morning ladies,

'Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy!'

Jinkypinks -

LadyL - Hope you had a super time in London hon.
soappie - I have an appt on friday, but the extra strong anti inflammatories seem to be working quite well!

Kazmeister - That fudge looks gorgeous, even with toothache I might be tempted. (actually no I wouldn't, but it would be on my list as soon as it was sorted!)
Carlsberg - big hugs to you hon
toochoosey - great pics but my attic would beat yours and we have to climb in via a step ladder, no luxurious stairs for us!

Found some of my anti inflammatories in the cupboard and they plus the ibuprofen are knocking the toothache off quite well, so think I will last thru til Friday when I have my appt. Stroppy receptionist was a bit short with me, but I have the appt so very little she can do about that!

Made mince pies yesterday - haven't tried one but my OH says they are delicious!

Off to find my list
