    Greenbee - how exciting. Congratulations to your DB and SiL and you will be the best auntie ever.

    I am so so sorry to hear of Porky's sad passing. When pickle was a kitten we had his sister pepper and she sadly passed away a few days after neutering due to an undiagnosed liver complaint which meant that she could not survive GA. It was such a sad time. Lots of love for you xx

    Toots - hope you are doing ok this week x

    Right another HHC in the kitchen for me and then a shower.

    Snowboarding accidents. Different days, DS1 Monday (so very little snowboarding for him - he was vile) and DS2 (the more complex one) Thursday night (he missed less snowboarding but spent the whole of Friday on the sofa/in bed after GA). So glad to be home as I was going stir crazy.

    0002048D.gif Flyladies,
    Greenbee – congrats, safe pregnancy vibes to SIL
    Ladyl & Sandy71 – HUGS
    Soappie – bad luck on the pavlova
    Triker – glad you had a good day
    Mrs Chaos – i start my menu plan with my list of Family favourites, supplied to me by my DDs 1& 2
    Several of these meals will then start as a bedrock for the week, ie the girls love ham, so Sunday is Glazed ham with Roast Pots & veg, Tuesday Cold Ham with mash, Friday is Ham Frittata, Sat would use any leftovers in Ham with pasta, peas & cream. Monday, Wednesday & Thursdays would be anything from HM pizzas, soup, Beans on toast followed by a quick pud to bulk the meal out. Hope this helps



    0002020B.gifhave a hug if you need or just want one
