    Didnt hear the archers penpen, but will ask DH if he did!

    Anyway suns out this morning, its BH weekend!:D

    A Freecyler came and took some stuff last nite (others never bothered to turn up?:mad: ) got rid of stuff out of airing cupboard! - that spurred me on to sorting out the kids toys YET AGAIN! I've still got more stuff to get rid of but to be honest I could get a few bob for it if i can get my act together and post them on ebay! During clear out think I missed anthea!!, shall have to catch the repeat now.

    bargainrzl - yr sofa thread has really got me thinking about maybe risking a leather sofa now! and how many men are queueing outside yr door today???

    snowyowl/catznine - thanks guys for the pep talk, that was really kind words xx I am trying to be less "hard" on myself and be more positive, just put it down to one of those days and try not to dwell on it too much otherwise you start worrying dont ya?

    catowen - not many takers on my raspberry muffins - maybe cos there was no choccy in??? bought some Fab Baking Boys choc muffins on special at tescos for DS1, he loves them!! :rolleyes: (i cant win can i?:o )
    Have you seen any lazytown toys anywhere??

    mimif - ((hugs)) thats terrible - you should have belted her one!

    essex-girl - yes it is cold isnt it? i was yesterday and even contemplated putting on heating last nite, but resisted! BGas must be rubbing their hands at the thought of people putting it on so early!

    Hello and hugs to everyone I havent mentioned or to follow, hope you all have a good day!

    TTFN

    Well I have been a busy bee this morning. washing out on the line, batch of scones made, oranges in jelly, cooked a small gammon joint and have made lentil soup with the liquor for lunch......now I need a rest, oh forgot, marked and cut out two more cushion covers, phew!!!!!!!!!! I do need a rest.

    OH will be in shortly for his lunch, library this afternoon we both have books waiting for us, Oh just rememberedd cut some rhubarb for a crumble too....need a couple of apples to make a large one to last 3 days.

    Very sunny but there is a real cool 'nip' in the air, I need to go to B & Q and get a packet of bulbs, they had 50 for £4.99, I have another B & Q voucher coming from shop and scan, so I will use that.

    Step son still has not done anything about the vaccum at the flats so he will not be getting the stairs done this month........I can live without it anyway...

    Well, we are back from our trip to Looe, it was cold, windy and a bit miserable if im being honest, so we didnt stay long!!!! We did have some chips that the children enjoyed, but are making me feel a bit dodgy (prob the fat they are cooked in!!!) and then spent £4 in 2ps in the amusement arcade, so they had a nice time. I found a pretty shell on the beach as well, so DD is very happy with that!!!! I also had a mystery shop to do on the way back, and forgot to get a receipt, so i doubt i will get paid for it, so im really mad with myself!!! Then to cap it all, the glove box in my car wouldnt open, and i pulled the handle so hard it came off in my hand!!! Hopefully they are the 3 bits of bad luck for me, and things will get better now!!!! Mind you, compared to what a lot of people are going through at the moment, i do feel a bit silly whinging about silly things!!!
    Right, off to do something, children happy outside so thats good.
    Take care xxxxxxxxxx

    ((((((((((((((mimi))))))))))))))

    Finally back from taking the oldies shopping. We stopped for lunch in Tesco and I had a reasonably edible chicken korma and rice. The kids are now stuffing themselves with sweeties bought by nanny and I am chilling with a coffee. I managed driving quite well and only hurt my hand once, I uttered a word I did not really want DD to learn ;)

    I still can't believe Pesto is so cheap at Lidl atm and Doritos are on BOGOF at Tesco so I am a very happy bunny :) The cupboards are pretty full again and only 5 days until payday and I still have £170 left in one bank account and £130 in the bill acount. I can't believe I have done it when DH didn't get paid his overtime last payday.

    Mum treated DD to the most gorgeous pair of metallic pink ankle boots in Lidl for £3.99, they're a size larger than she needs so they should see her right through the winter.

    I'm going to laze around all afternoon, attempt some knitting and read my christmas doughcraft book.
