    Afternoon all :)

    Hope you are all ok. ((hugs)) for those who would like one or need one.

    dizzybuff if not blast it in the oven for a bit but 4 warm and 4 high should be more than enough
    beemuzed happy birthday!

    Weather seems to be really improving here, hoping the snow continues to melt nicely, garden might be clear of it by tomorrow :o then I can clean it up.

    Need to get the kitchen cleaned up/sorted and find a bin today. I need something to stop me having 3 bags hanging off the cupboard door with recycling in, which everyone then knocks into and I spend loads of time picking it up off the floor. It's just a mess. I used to use 3 recycling bags but no longer have a utility to keep them in. Looking for a 3 (minimum) compartment bin, if anyone has one and can tell me where they go it I'd appreciate it :)

    Right, suppose I best get a wiggle on, kitchen first, toad in the hole made with honey roast sausages for tea I think, just hoping they defrost quick enough. I need to do a meal plan today too as the freezers starting to empty and I will impulse/panic buy if I don't.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    All the best for tomorrow!!

    Happy Birthday Beemuzed!!:bdaycake:

    Bitsy Don't feel bad about venting on here if it helps. As others have said it does get better - honest!! ;)

    Hugs to all the other poorlies and those in need.

    Pleased to see the snow gone. It was pretty but caused a lot of problems. Just ordered a sledge for DGD so we probably won't get any more this year:rotfl:


    Just had M & S Oakham chicken for dinner with cheesy mash, broccoli, leeks and peas. Yummy!!

    Going to make some sausage rolls & soup when skating finished.

    Bonsoir!

    Arrive here OK, and managed to read the thread as back on the laptop. Free wi-fi is great.

    :bdaycake: Bemused hope you have had a goodo ne

    ((Hugs)) Pen-Pin, hope everything is peace for FIL, how is DD taking it?

    Bitsy I can only imagine how you feel as DS went through the nice at 5 weeks. He did have a little wobble around 2.5-3ish when he came out of nappies and I stopped his cocoa, but re-started and he went off a dream again .

    Redruby sorry to hear the house was dirty, don't know how folks can do that.

    Nic1Lou2 - hope things go ahead tomorrow.

    Just about to call it quits now and hope to get off early tomorrow.

    Take care - DG

  • Evening all

    Not had time to read thread yet so hugs to all

    I'm just back from my weekend in Bristol with 3 friends. I had a lovely time :D. It was for my friend's hen do, but it was a civilised affair. We stayed in a country house hotel and spa. So we got to Bristol lunchtime and had lunch in a lovely pub then headed to hotel. We checked in then headed to the spa, we all had treatments (I had a blissful massage :D) and used the pool/hottub/sauna. We changed for dinner and had a lovely meal in the hotel. There was a wedding in the hotel and we were the only guests that weren't a part of the wedding! We had restaurant to ourselves. After meal we all headed to one room, and watched DVD's and had some drinks. Then today we went to Bath for shopping and we had afternoon tea in the Pump Rooms :) It was so lovely to be with my friends with no distractions of work/men/daily life, and we laughed so much at silly things :rotfl:!

    It was an MSE weekend too - hotel was £24.99 per room inc breakfast, train was £9 to Bristol return and £3 to Bath return! I did buy 3 pairs of shoes though :o

    WM has just finished so need to put it on airer to dry overnight, and unpack my bag.

    Back to work tomorrow, but only a half day as I have doctors in afternoon.

    Have a good evening all
