    I don't see why you can't use white bread bargainbird. I didn't notice the bread at all when it was cooked.

    Afternoon. Happy St David's Day :j
    Just wolfed down two cheese baps. I was STARVING!!! DD decided after nursery drop off that she wanted go for a little walk. Doesn't she realise her mother needs feeding :eek:
    Anyway DS and mindee safely deposited at school so I have a couple of hours with DD and me. I am hoping she'll go for a nap. She was up again in the night - 2.30am we were downstairs and she was bringing me books and toys and even managed to set off Elmo which sounded sooooo loud :(
    I got to register for Education Show at NEC for Saturday. We have a suprise 30th birthday the same day down in Weston Super Mare so it's going to be a BUSY day. Sunday shall definately be the day to chillax :D

    Tea tonight will be tuna and pepper fishcakes. Don't have any salad to have with them so think I will do some brocolli instead.
    Put the vac round whilst kids were having lunch so not sure I'll get to do any more cleaning as I am shattered.

    Stefjb - Congrats on being a nana again :D

    lowesy/beemuzed - hope the cold weather isn't too much of a climb down after your hols <insert very jealous icon> ;)

    Nic - Happy Birthday. Hope you have a good day :beer:

    Bargainbird - OUCH! Is it a case of having all your food through a straw now ;)

    Black Narcissus - Welcome :j

    Sorry if I've missed anyone else. I rely on scrolling down the page to remind me what I want to say :o

    Hugs to those that need them. Have a good day OS or not.

    Hi all

    Been to court. The pps have no forensic evidence. they have no cctv evidence. they have no statement from the lad who started the fight. they have one witness statement from a woman behind the counter in McDonalds and the statement is full of holes and very bias.

    The date for trial has been set for 19th April. Barrister has told DS1 he could very easily go to prison. he's 17 and has never been introuble before.

    Madness.

    J x

    PS :wave: to new ppl and those who are returning from hols :) and thanks to those thinking of us this morning x

    Late as usual.
    Saw the sun this morning and it felt so good . I've got lots done and even got some washing on the line for the first time in months:j
    Didn't get through to Bro till 11pm last night but he said baby ok but they are umming and aahing whether to take her off the ventilator and I said that she probably better off staying on it if the Drs are unsure.

    Jc : As you say !!!!!! ! the justice system in this country is total carp :mad:

    Bitsy - Not a straw in sight, cos i've not eaten since 8pm last night :p, so will be whoping my tea down tonight :D. Those fish cakes sounds yummy.

    :jYippee I have central heating again:j:j:jThe most wonderful chap in the world came this afternoon and fixed my heating.I am £140 lighter, but worth every penny,the pump had gone, and he has replaced it with a new one.I found his tel no. in my old phone book, and the last time he was here was in 1999. My late husband had written his no. and address in it, and today I remembered why.He is a real gentleman and nothing was too much trouble for him He was quick, efficient,tidied up afterwards and was done in an hour.Checked it completely throughout to make sure everything was working.The sort of person you would reccomend to anyone I am one very happy lady at the moment .Hope everyone is having a good day
    Cheers JackieO xx
