Morning All

Politics...I think I may be a 'better the devil you know' kinda girl! I turned 18 as the poll tax came in to being.... 'OK we're going to double your rates and then make everyone in the house pay it and if you don't you're going to jail......' is my lasting memory of the last Tory government - and don't get me started on the milk snatcher.......:rotfl: We live in a boom and bust economy and the labour government actually did well to keep it even for so long but with the b@lls up in the american market the rest of us stood no chance. My tuppence worth

Blue skies here again today - haven't been out to inspect for ash yet but if I find any that hasn't fell off the end of someones fag I shall let you know

I've kept today job free :j so I intend to [STRIKE]sit here and waste the morning[/STRIKE] do my housework in my PJs, do a cupboard/store check and meal plan and shopping list.

Lunch will be corned beef and onion toasties and dinner will involve sausages somewhere - possibly a sausage and vegetable stew in the SC as I have to take the step kids to their mums after school. By the time I've fought through the traffic I'll be fit for nothing!

Have a good day x

Morning All :hello:,

Sunny and a Friday??? Yes please

Just found out my sister has got another week in Australia as they've cancelled her flight home until next Thursday due to the ash :eek: Jealous? Moi? Although it does mean that she'll lose a weeks wages but it's a once in a lifetime trip. Don't know how my BIL is going to cope though getting the girls to two rural schools in totally opposite directions and getting to work himself... :eek: It's not like any of us can help either as they live down in Wiltshire.

Anyway, OS wise, DH played another blinder yesterday at Tescos and came back with masses of bargains (there never are any when I go so I'm leaving it to him from now on I've decided!) including a YS leg of lamb reduced to £6.50 and some delicious looking sirlion steaks reduced to £4! Think DH fancies the steak for tea tonight for his pre-birthday meal (I know - you'd think he was turning 7 not 47 ) so I'll griddle them, with chips, peas, mushrooms and onion rings for him and who knows I might even do an Eton Mess for dessert as it's his fave. Don't mind so long as it doesn't interfere with my watching Ashes to Ashes tonight :T am I the only fan on here?!?!?

Also have to pop to the meat market in my lunch hour as I've finally decided on a bbq for our do tomorrow. Which reminds me I better text my Dad and ask if we've any coals indoors!

Have a lovely day in sunshine, hugs to all xx

That's nothing, I somehow got it into my head that someone had said Thriftlady may be in touch with her, and sent a pm to T/L! Think I need to lie down, all this name confusion is making me feel very dizzy!

btw Bargainbird it was DS watching Chris Evans on Youtube...I did not have one of "those" dreams about him:eek: I love listening to him but urgh can you imagine:eek::o:rotfl:
Jackie....someone did say Thriftlady was in touch with her so you are not as bonkers as you thought;)

Morning all...........(((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))) if you need one......

Friday clean, OH out to the veg garden. Goint to have a look at the washing basket see if I can get a laod in and dry.

Sunny but quite cool at the moment, yesterday turned into a real late spring day, warm and sunny.

We have decided what to do in the garden to protect our privacy when we are eating outside. I found two old metal line props which oh is going to sink into the ground, I have a piece of white willow arch shape, we will wire it to the metal oles and I am going to plant a fast growing clematis in front of it and allow it to scramble up over it. That should screen one of next doors kitchen wondows which looks directly into our garden. As the cottages had a right of way across the back the gardens are a bit peculiar in as much as our garden end half way between their two kitchen windows. If our fence went where it should we would have a very funny odd shaped garden. The right of way has been moved to the end of the garden, so we lost out there too.

Morning folks, how is everyone today?

Been into T*sco for some sultana's and to see if they had any reduced items first thing, still WAYYYYY to dear for short date stuff, so will make my next visit after 20;00 and see if it's cheaper at night.

Beautiful day here, clear blue skies (what ash?! :rotfl:) away to hang out washing, and have a weetabix cake baking in oven and it's smelling v.nice

Wish I was off today, feel like mooching about in house and garden, but 'spose better go in, three hours left .

Hope you all have a fab day.
