Good Morining everyone.
Annie Poor old you, not only feeling ill but when the decks are cleared for action too, I know how frustrating that is.
Aussie, looking out of my window I can understand folk who emigrate, well at least someone on here's enjoying good weather.
Pen-Pen, well get dusting then girl - wear them lacey little numbers :dance:

Drizzley Day. Bleagh! started the bread machine reasonably early, DH just dragged me away from this thread to move the cars as next door are having some landscaping done, and they have access around the back of our house. (Which I hate when the Monster Spawn bring a dozen of their dubious early teen friends around , through our garden... sunbathing's nerve wracking.) So the digging machines started at 7:30 a.m. .... nice.

Did loads yesterday, even in Mrs. Slug mode. Bought my micro fibre cloths at Lidl, and got started with those. Did a Lidl shop, so how come, with only seven items on my shopping list, and only two crossed off after the Lidl trip, how come I managed to have a full(ish) trolley, and spend £40 ?

DD stayed on an extra 5 nights after our joint trip down to my sister's, she even went home for spare pants; she goes to Mum's when sister drops by on Sunday to pick her up. She's going to help Sis with the twins & older neice while they stay at Mum's house near Holmfirth. Sis is staying there as BIL is off on buisiness trip to Taiwan. This trip has been hanging over their heads for so long without any clues from his boss as to when Sis will be on her own with a handful of sprogs it became Taiwhen?
DS is getting ready to leave home and live in town centre with friends, so if we ever lever DD back out & into her own place, we'll have the place to ourselves with just Puppy for company (mixed blessing as anyone who has gone through the nest flying will understand.)

ENOUGH of the burbling must go, my school planning needs my attention.

morning all

poppy was it 24 you were watching? absolutely love it! only reason i still had sky, and i'll be getting it hooked back up when the next series stars...mum tells me keifer's signed up for three more series :j

well last night i had a very os evening, you'll all be so proud, i spent the night cooking! did a batch of pea soup all split into containers and frozen, did a chixkpea curry, kept one portion for tonight, others are in the freezer. also picked up stuff to try carrot and sweet potato soup which i'll do sunday/monday or summit. sainsbury had their buy two save £5 on chicken breasts so i picked that up, i put them into freezer bags individually and froze them too! freezer is looking well stocked and since i did washing up as i went along kitchen was lovely and clean when i got up this morn

then i sat down and made a new skirt for wearing out tonight and tidied up again and finally got to bed about midnight. all in a very productive night, and bizarely i'm not tired this morn...perhaps the doctor was right and it was just feeling unhappy at my old job that was bringing me down and making me tired

anyway have to scoot and get brekkie/ready for work THREE DAYS LEFT!!! (can you tell i'm excited?) however i have to face the scary company owner who has chosen this time to visit the store...wonder why :eek:

hope you all have a fantstic bank holiday (for those south of hadrian) and big squishy hugs to those who need or just plain want them!

morning everyone...
ANNIE .. sounds like you have what i got last week, just came on and the sickness feeling lasted all day and the groggy part most of the next day but it does pass.. the only consolation you got with the kids not being there is you can pop back to bed and actually fall asleep without wondering what they up to .

My plans for today are as followind
In about a hours time 10o'clock me and dd are off to peterborough house sale is going through nicley so shouldnt be much longer so im going up to pick up any mail thats gone there should be some samples from the tesco promotion lol .. Im seeing some friends one in particular im taking out for something to eat as she helped me alot with the move she came and cleaned my house from top to bottom as it was still being sold and it sold in a few days of me leaving so she must have done a good job lol..

dd is seeing her dad for the weekend im taking her up to peterborough and he will be bringing her down to aylesbury his first trip as he didnt see the need to do a dummy run before and actually find out were we live so no doubt i will be getting a phone call as he will i know him get lost..

Good morning all :T

SnowyOwl: Good luck with the Christmas cake, I can never get motivated until at least November even though I adore Christmas so am pretty impressed

AussieLass: Good news about the computer :T

kyle: You'll be an expert bread maker in no time

tired mum: Raining here too in Yorkshire :mad:

anniebooklover: Hope you feel better soon

Queenie: Your bread recipes sound scrumptious!!! Are they posted on the site anywhere at all?

FrugalJo & stressedoutmumof1: Get on with that ironing - the sooner you start, the sooner you finish

Penelope Penguin: I run out of clean knickers all the time - I really must buy loads more so I have plenty spare

poppycracker: I am so jealous at the thought of you walking the dog on the beach, it sounds soooooo lovely

Topher: Yeah, that always seems to happen to me when shopping too....

lynsayjane: You going anywhere special tonight?

twink: I love your avatar

Pretty quiet day for me - some cleaning, some shopping, some ticking off of stuff from my master list (I call mine list 101). Most of the afternoon will be spent revising for the next round of accountancy exams :eek:

Have a lovely day everyone :j

Was It Hannah Hawkeswell?

The Dales are gorgeous and the place we go, Settle is about 1 1/2 hours drive from where we are now. Holmfirth isn't attractive in itself, but interesting, Saturday is a great day to do Holmfirth, there's a W.I. market down at the Methodists church hall from 10:00 a.m -12:00 and they sell, amongst other interesting things, really good bacon butties for £1 each, we always plan to have tea/coffee there as its really sweet & old fashioned, I used to be part of that church congregation as well. Holmfirth also has four charity shops, a Longley farm shop (the farm is up Dunforth Rd. Just out of Holmfirth,) well worth going to the shop for slightly lower priced dairy products & their icecreams are well recommended. We used to go to the Farm itself for yoghurts by the trayful, I don't know if they still allow that, as it wasn't a shop as such. Whenever they had a new product on, they used to sling in a free trayful.

Hmmm, I'm getting tempted to go there after my bread's riz, this morning.
