Hi all! Just a quick note to say hello, 'cos I'm at work today. I work at a Bournemouth Hotel that specialises in Ballroom Dancing, which is fun! However, sorting through their invoices for four hours isn't exactly what I'd call fun, but necessary - and it pays a little bit which helps.

The good thing about working at a Hotel is that I get lunch provided. So I've just munched my way through a free Chicken Caesar Salad, which was yummy.

Tonight's dinner is very OS, being the other half of yesterday's chicken. I made stock with the carcase last night by putting it in the slow cooker overnight. The weird thing is, though, I had some real multicolour and bizarre dreams - which I am sure were fuelled by the smells wafting from the stockpot. LOL

Got to go in 40 mins, so I'd better look like I'm working! See you later.

I know its a bit odd but I would love that! I used to love reading gravestones when I was younger and wondering about the people who laid there - its quite fascinating!

Me too (actually I still do ). I love all things history so the older the better for me

Afternoon everyone.

Was quite nice this morning, dried one load of washing and half of another and it's now tipping down with rain
Busy morning at toddler group and playing with kids. Had a quick sort out off my "junk modelling" stuff (basically it's cardboard boxes, yoghurt pots etc) as it was taking over my understairs cupboard. Had a cull of some things to make some room. Beds stripped, DS sons remade, got ours to finish. Had a late lunch and was feeling a wee bit wobbly so needed to sit down and eat (any excuse ).
Tea tonight is savoury sausage bake.

Oooooh just noticed what I think is a great spotted woodpecker eating from my fat balls :T

Flutterby - My apologies I completely missed the fact that it was your birthday yesterday. Sounds like you had a lovely day.

Redruby - hope you get some joy from the HSE and that your DD is OK x

Diva - feeding tadpoles? Some feed fish, birds you feed tadpoles :rotfl: nowt wrong with that

snoozer - hugs for you xx

mehefin - :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

joyfull - I watched a prog on Insomnia. they suggested that you don't spend too much time in bed. Basically go to bed at reasonable time and get up at the same time regardless to how you have slept. Some poor bloke did this and over time his length of time sleeping at night improved. No idea if this will help you but thought I'd mention it.

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

Afternoo everyone

I had the shock of goodness knows what this morning after opening my e-mail to find an invoice from a jewellers in birmingham for 26g of platinum wire - cue hasty phoning, saying I didn't order it, then phoning the bank and getting my cards cancelled. I think it was an error with the company rather than card fraud, but better safe than sorry - I have ordered silver clay from them before (about three weeks ago) but there is a big difference in cost between 12 g of PMC and 23 g of platinum. About £900 based on this mornings metal prices (before VAT). I was quite lucky I was at my machine when that one came in this morning.

OS wise, we had HM pizza for dinner yesterady, which I also have for lunch - I used a mixture of cheeses for the topping including some white stilton I got reduced in Waitrose (35 p for 300g) and some random stuff from germany that's been loitering at the back of the fridge for a while. I made a lemon drizzle cake yesterday too - I need to get a recipe for a light lemon sponge sorted out before this wedding, but all the ones I;ve tried so far just don't do it for me. If anyone has a nice lemon cake recipe, then I would be really grateful.

I have two folksy orders to post off this evening - and some more photos to put up. I made a brooch that looks like a meringue nest, I'm really pleased with it - I bought some strange brooch findings (a flat metal disc with a brooch back soldered on the reverse) whilst I was in Korea last year, so they have been sitting unused in my craft box ever since. I have over 400 of them in different sizes, but they seem to work really well with this design, so it might be one idea to uses some of them.

Dinner tonight will be chilli pasta and vegetable sauce. Will add ham to OH's.

MSD - we used to feed tadpoles too
mehefin - I would rather the frogs than our neighbours, trust me _pale_ :rotfl:
redruby - hope your DD is okay - that must have been a real shok for her. Do phone the HSE, in my experience they are really helpful people.

Right - must go and cell count. Oh joy. cel x

Thanks for that. Funnily enough a couple of days ago I discovered this on the internet & am already trying to give it a go. I'm so tired by 7pm each night that it's torture to try & stay awake. With back pain & hot flushes I just want to zonk out. But I WILL give it my best.

Just a quick head around the door ,big Frank was let out of hospital today and is home at last .Apparently because he has a problem with his blood and has to take Warfarin when he had this chest infection two weeks ago he shouldn't have been given Amoxycillin.He had been on a second course of Amoxyicillin 500 when he had his heart attack apparently it interfers with the Warfarin which in turn gave him this blood clot.He was told today that if it had gone to his brain he could have had a stoke:eek::eek: you'd think they would have checked before prescribing the antibiotics wouldn't you.
Well I'm pleased that he is home at last as its been a great worry for all the family.I must dash as I'm off to Uni,last night tonight for this course :j hope my essay is back from Canterbury
Cheers chums

Evening all

I'm so tired, read thread but not taken it in so hugs to those in need.

Today started off not so good. My work kids are spending this week doing a community based project which is clearing out a really overgrown garden and painting the woodwork that is there. When I woke up it was pouring down :eek: and then when I went to collect my kids only 6 out of 13 turned up! I knew 2 weren't in, and 1 rung in sick, so 4 were unaccounted for :mad:. I waited for 20 mins and then left without them. The ones who were in did grumble a bit about the rain but I did a deal with them to work til 1 and then if they were soaked we'd call it a day. Luckily come 11.30 the rain stopped and the sun came out They worked really hard and we have cleared loads, hence why I'm so tired.

On my way home we passed a little unmanned egg stall selling free range eggs. The chickens were in the fields all around it. I got 12 large free range eggs for £2 There was an honesty box to leave the money in, I loved that!

I've been out to do food shopping as well, needed it as had no fresh stuff in. I went to Aldi, Morrisons and Tesco! I got all the Super 6 fruits from Aldi, some of the 30p fruit/veg in Morrisons plus some other offers and then the rest in Tesco.

I'm going to have easy tea of pizza and make a salad for work and some hard boiled eggs now and then I have to make the decision about what to watch tonight, Glee or Flashforward!

Have a good evening all

FLutterby, Glee is repeated at the weekend on C4 if you don't have 4+1.
(Sad that I know this, I know.)

JAckie, great news about Frank, but what a disappointment they made such an error.

Not sad, I know this too but can't wait that long! :rotfl: Think I'll watch Glee tonight and then watch FF online or on Five USA in the week as tonight is 2 episodes of FF and I'll probably fall asleep during the second one!
