    Afternoon:hello: Hope this finds everyone well.
    Haven't been around much for the following reasons; I need to get on top of this pigsty;
    need to get organised;
    want to get back to making some interesting and "new to us" foods;
    want to make some progress with my woeful Irish :o I was brilliant...got everything done:rotfl:(and in the real world....) what really happened.....
    House still like a "before" shot(although have thrown loads of C-R-A-P out)

    I am bored senseless by food at the mo:(
    and as for my Irish...............I am now worse that I was when I was 7:eek:.(In fact it is worse than my Russian which is almost non existent now)the 3.30 news remains incomprehensible to me

    Anyway, having just skimmed the threads I see that MeanMarie is fluent so I have decided to solve all three of my problems in one fell swoop- I am going to move in with Marie - I won't worry about my sty(as I won't be there!) her food always sounds yummy:j:j & she can teach me the language at the same time:j:j:beer::j.
    Haven't read everything well I have skimmed threads but given my small brain can't remember too much.
    LOWESY you and your DH remain very much in my thoughts and prayers.
    Molly what a c0w. HUGS to you.
    Taplady loads of love to you and your DH. I hope he feels much better very soon. Sending prayers and love to Janet and your Dear Aunt. Also Remembering Lesley.
    Anguk have been praying like mad for you, Martyn and both your children. I am delighted things are looking so much brighter.

    Have just seen the time so had better go and sort something tasty:D out for tea(!!!)
    Pen-pin! hugs to you. Hope you are feeling much better. Sending much love for your results.
    Casrina you are amazing:T
    To all the new posters wlecome. Am looking forward to getting to "know" you all
    Can I also say a huge thank you to my dear friend CM thank you so much for your fantastic email. It really cheered me up. Will reply later (after my kitchen traumas!)

    Am really looking forward to all "our" brides keeping us up to date on the plans. I am really excited. Congretulations to all.

    Also(can't you tell I am putting the kitchen trip off!) I am a huge(in all ways:rotfl:)leggigins fan. I live in them(yes, that much materal does exist) I only wear them in the house but with all the cats I find that they are fantastic.
    Anyway, I had more to post but I can't remember what i was going to say and to whom I was going to say it(doh)

    Will try to post later.

    Have a good day and take care.
    Ann xxxx

    AngUk

    I'm so pleased to hear the brilliant news about Martyn!! :j
    Like redruby I'm sat on my own at work with tears running down my face!! Just hope the meeting in the Council Chamber next door goes on a bit longer as they'll wonder what's wrong with me! Can't really explain I'm on the MSE website when I'm supposed to be preparing an agenda :eek:

    Really busy this week as my colleague's still off sick and I'm also out every night with meetings, rehearsals etc! Just had my lunch at my desk, hence the surfing!

    House is like a tip but I'm keeping up with washing, cooking etc. We've had a homemade meal every night courtesy of the slow cooker, freezer etc and I've been bringing food into work so all is not lost on the OS front! :D

    Right - better get on!

    Hugs to those in need!

    TTFN

    I hope you manage to get yourself back to normal after your recovery.
    Good idea to move in with MeanMarie - I always fancy moving to Thriflady's house cos her food always sounds yummy and she doesn't love too far away from me either:D
    Do what you love :happyhear

    Anguk, that is really really good news :jso glad for you.

    Can't remember much else about the thread (am cream crackered) so (((hugs))) if you need/want one.

    House is very clean, have deep cleaned the bathrooms and DS' bedroom. Floors have been hoovered & washed. Just waiting for DS' bedding to dry then will be back on his bed. All ironing done and put away.

    Downside is no paperwork done as of yet. Think will have half hour sit down and then make a small dent in it. Have decided on easy tea of grilled bacon and scrambled eggs with the last of the mushrooms I need to use up.

    No call about my laptop yet - hope they call soon.x

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks for the supportive comments. She has just been back for a fourth time. Me thinks she has something on her conscience but im not absolving her of her guilt as my back now hurts like mad and my head has a bump. DS1 sent her packing in a very mature way so heres hoping thats the last I see of her.

    My cleaner has been today which was very unexpected as she has been poorly so she was very much appreciated. My house looks ok now (well scratch the surface:eek:)

    Anguk - so glad your husband is making progress. I hope you enjoy seeing each other later today.

    Taplady - I love leggings and so does my DD. They suit her very much and she is on the cuddly side. She looks fab in them with her shorts and long T shirt.

    Hope everyone has a good afternoonx
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Anguk - that's such great news about Martyn! I'm so pleased - like others, I'm sitting here grinning from ear to ear! Hope he continues now to improve by leaps and bounds.
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!
