Have not long put the bm on and need to get started on dinner, before DDs moan at me.

Mum and dad came over today, and it was nice to see them [apart from their bickering :rolleyes: They're worse than my girls ]

I have a nice new shiny microwave, but will have to read the instructions. Some cheese on toast done in the grill part later, for supper, I think :j

Have had a problem with one of our drains, and the neighbour who has poured fat down it :rolleyes: Have had some good advice though, from the board

Has been a wet day here and likely to be even wetter tomorrow. The snow is thawing pretty quickly though, so hopefully back to normal come Monday

Well now I know I spend too long on here. Put soem onions to fry and decided just to pop on here and take a quick look. Of course, onions burnt to a frazzle!

Hope all goes well Monday nic1lou2 and they dont cancel again. Half the worry is in the waiting.

Afternoon all
Thanks Sister Cas, I think it'd the deafness getting to me, that and the lack of money, lol.

When I was in labour with my 4th I was offered gas and air from the tube you grip with your teeth, as I have a very strong gag reflex I replied 'I can't get anything that big in my mouth' The midwife & I both started to laugh at the same time & she said, 'if you could you probably wouldn't be here now!'

Congratulations to Miss Penguin and Master Specsappeal

Have a good evening everybody.
Hugs Hester

Meanmarie: thanks for the tips re the septic tank. I do not use coloured loo paper I am not a bio washing powder fan either so should be ok there. its things like tea stains in a stainless steel sink and horrid dishcloths, especially when oh fills it full of coffee grounds yuk......

Part of me is looking forward to the move, the other bit is dreading OH starting to pack stuff away......we are getting the removers to pack the glass and china, but he will pack the rest, lots of books etc........

It looks like we have someone to take over the allotment, we are meeting him on Sunday. I have also just sold the small undertable top freezer tonight, so some badly needed cash rolling in......

I made Twinks and added raisins to them - if I eat many of them do they count towards my 5 a day :rotfl:
I don't know why I'd not thought of doing it before. Kids and mindee helped with the stirring and the adding of said raisins and they are yummy
My mum took some home for her and my dad and I think she's nearly eaten the lot

Haven't even decided what's for tea tonight Really need to pull my finger out with that one - I have some cooked chicken so might see about some cajun chicken

Snow is thawing and horrible and slushy - I hate that inbetween stage. I wonder how many people are going to suffer with flooding problems now the thaw is happening.

Have a happy Friday night.

I've just eaten some milk chocolate raisins and was wondering the same thing.:rotfl:

Regrettably it does not mention it on the pack.

Evening all

Not read all of the thread yet but wanted to post in case you thought I'd ditched you all.

Busy day out looking for tiles for the shower room, part success. Did stop at the farm shop as I was near by and restocked with a sack of potatoes (my favourite Piccaso ones) some local honey, eggs and veg.

Just making tea which is jacket potatoes, water cress and homemade chicken nugets.

Need to get DS3 in the bath early to nit comb him as 'the' letter has come home from school.

PenPen - that is great news about your DD on the DofE. DS1 just has the expedition to go in March and then his is complete too. He's hoping to do silver in 6th form next year.

Hope to catch up on the rest of the thread this evening, hugs to anybody who wants one.

Can you have a bucket for things like coffee grounds & tea bags? Then can it go onto a compost heap? And can you use soda crystals to soak your dischloths with a septic tank?

Chocolate raisins should count twice - once for the raisin & once for the chocolate...:rotfl::D:p

Ah well, the best laid plans of mice and men..... and OSers...:rotfl:

Having survived half an hour of Wii Fit (only just, I have to add) I'm off to start our dins.
