Happy Birthday, Pink Winged. Have a great day everyone.

Penny-Pincher!!

Hi

This is the yourt maker we bought and I used a free postage code from here, so only cost £14.99 inc delivery.....and must have been easy to use as I did it;) No sweetners added but we have with either stewed fruit or honey.This is the one I bought:

Pink Winged - hope you have a lovely day.
Ageandjo - hope the adviser has good news for you.
Hope the painting goes well Twink and that the lecy man fixes the prob quickly (and cheaply!)
Penny Pincher - I really hope you managt to get that essay finished, I can see it's on your mind almost constant at the moment- you're going to feel so much better once it's done.
Aussie lass - hope you manage to get the generator, fingers crossed for you. They probably hoped that by making you come back you'll be tempted to buy some other bits while you're there. Are you going to take before and after piccies of the kitchen? It's be great to see, and nice for you to keep.
Churchmouse - any sign of the griddle yet? I've been meaning to make another batch myself for days, but as I've almost constantly got mud under my nails at the mo it doesn't seem the right time I know I should wear gloves, and I do for a bit - but they're either cumbersome or the others mean I get dirty anyway.... besides, I usually don't remember until I feel it wedging under my nails :rotfl:

Morning to everyone else also

It's farily sunny today and the trees are blowing in the breeze - fingers crossed it'll stay like this as it's perfect for the work in the garden. Having dug most of the garden over it's getting tempting to dig quite deep and lay a bed of stones to improve drainage - but I know how much work that involves having done my herb bed. I'm torn between wanting to do a really good job and wanting to get it done quickly so that the boys can enjoy it.
Decisions are not my strong point:rolleyes:

Well, me cup is empty so I'd best go make another

Hope you all have a good day

Bye for now,

Morning all

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PINK WINGED!

Well I blitzed the house yesterday. Its fab! Not perfect yet by any means but it looks good by my standards!!! I would love to be like you Penny & have a shiny house all the time Penny the yogurts look fab! Milk turns my stomoch though so I shall have to continue buying yogurts ready made :rolleyes:

Today am going to take the kids on a surprise outing. Going to go to Hadleigh Farm. Not sure if I'm allowed to do a link so google it Its only 50p per child to get in & £1 for adults. Its a rare breed farm. The kids will love it. We have the year passes for Marsh farm but the childminder took them there recently.

Need to make a pinnic soon.

Oh I went to Tesco last night at about 9pm. No bargains whatsoever. I am so jealous of you peeps who always bag the bargains! :rotfl: Still it was a bargain going without the kids. No Tantrums!!!!

OK off for a shower now then. Oh will do my hand washing as well & put a woolens load on I think!

Take care all, have a good day

Morning all

Feeling all bright and breezy this morning.

Happy Birthday Pink Wings...hope it's a great one.:beer:

No little ones today but meeting up with another childminder and all her rabble for a game of putting at the local golf course....the big ones can help the little ones and lots of fresh air to boot!

Made some lovely seeded half and half bread yesterday - lovely texture but it had a real sinking problem. I'll blame the weather.

Really do need to do a menu plan for the rest of the month, cupboards and freezer are bursting but I still can't find anything I want.....will have to get tough and get it planned.

Hope everyone has a great day.......PP hope DD and DH have a lovely time at the coast.

My page has got fat.

Good morning everyone!!

AussieLass annoying to be a day too early, but could be worse, you could be a day too late and them have sold out!!! Kitchen sounds a really good bargain, hope you go for it.

Penny-Pincher! Glad you had a better night, does make it easier to deal with the day. Now crack on with that essay today, the sooner it's finished the sooner you can forget it and enjoy yourself!! That was me in mummy mode:rotfl: Your yogurt looks great! Mines still sat in its box!:o

catowen someone had bumped an old thread where people had posted photos of their kitchens and I started looking at that, then in the middle someone else mentioned a thread with photos of OSers and a link, so I deviated! Never got to the end of either ran out of time, but saw Snowy's pic. The kitchen thread was called where the magic happens and at the time I'm typing this is on page 3 of this board. Can't remember what the photo thread was called.

ageandjo back pay! Two of my favourite words, well they are when sat next to each other! Hope the advisor brings good news today.:D

twink hope you don't have too long a wait for the electrician. If you're like me you don't really get a lot done until they get there. I find myself looking out of the window every 5 minutes to see if they've turned up yet. On second thoughts you're probably much more sensible and just wait for the bell to ring!

kazonline No haven't ordered griddle yet. My case would have been a lot stronger if I'd actually unpacked and used my new yogurt maker (same one PP's got, yep copied her)! It was delivered Friday evening and is still sat languishing in its box. He comments everyday about am I going to use it?

Added to which I am of course producing perfectly OK welshcakes without the griddle Might let that one slide for a little bit, 'cos he wouldn't mind at all me ordering it provided I actually use it and there's room to store it.

Another problem, we have a tiny house with VERY limited storage. Nothing annoys him more than me buying another toy to use once then just clutter the place with:o The bulky electric steamer comes to mind! (I find I prefer a steamer set over a saucepan, actually very OS when you think about it!)

Well it's a lovely day here and one load of washing has finished so I'll get that out, and another started before I go for the shopping. Then off to meet a friend for lunch and a good old chinwag.

Have a great day all!!

PS
Pooky enjoy your putting, weather clouding up a bit here now, hope it stays fine for you!

mrsmortenharket enjoy the farm, sounds great, and brilliant prices!!

PPS
Penny-Pincher Good luck with the electric scooter - don't run anyone down will you? They can be very zippy, there was an old dear at my church who turned into a demon once sat on hers!

Morning ladies (and squeaky ) ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY PINK! :beer: ... Have had my formal offer letter from the HA, so just need to sort out a solicitor (have a couple of people due to call me this morning with quotes) and mortgage (I'm going through a broker recommended by numerous friends, and I had an AIP from the Nationwide who then put their interest rates up at the beginning of this week :rolleyes: - although it's still one of the best 2yr fixed rates, it's now identical to the Alliance & Leicester, who apparently process stuff faster! So am seeing Mr. Mortgage again this afternoon to get this sorted and make an application) ... AGEANDJO - sounds like positive news all round - I'll be due some back pay too at some point, but at the moment I'm STILL waiting for my payrise (for moving back to my old department) to be calculated! :rolleyes: (yes, I've been doing this job for a month, and still don't know what my new salary is, except that I know it'll go up a bit) - the good news is that the budget I've worked out for after I move works out quite nicely without it, so when it does come through, it should enable me to overpay the mortgage, build up a savings "cushion" or perhaps start budgeting for a holiday again ... Got to go ... Am at w**k with lots to do ... Great to see you back Snowy ... And you too, Sarahsaver, hello stranger! ... Troo, I hope your day gets better! ... See you later ... Love Rzl xx :wave:
