    I have just had a phonecall from a friend who I havent seen for a while and totally forgot that she is coming to stay this weekend :eek::eek:

    I have no cooker:eek: Has anybody any ideas of something nice I could cook on sunday instead of a roast remembering I can only use the hob and she doesn't like pasta my mind is all blank going to have to go shopping tomorrow and buy biscuits and cakes to:(

    Do you have a slow cooker? There are loads of things you could do in there...

    Its supposed to be nice weather this weekend, so you could always bbq :j

    Or you could do a big pot of chilli, with rice, or wraps and salad/cheese etc. No oven required :D

    TC - No, I dont have room for everyone - only one spare room. My sister wont stay permanently, she will sort herself out with a place when she gets here.

    My mum would have stayed with me for a few months (at least 6 I would imagine) until she found a job, a place of her own etc. But if my gran comes....I dont know. Thats what they are looking into.

    Anyway - I have finished decluttering tonights mess in the kitchen, thrown out a carrier bag of tat and papers from the dining room, filled a bin bag from upstairs and am about to fill the washing machine and go to bed.

    Night folks xx

    Many thanks to AJ, Serena and GnB for your pm’s. Also thanks to all of you who have posted about Danny. He’s still out there, maybe tomorrow night before there is a bed for him on the plane, there must be some very poorly boys and girls needing his place more than him, I’m grateful he doesn’t and upset that the others do – not good for them or their loved ones, also feel really selfish and horrid that I feel relieved Danny isn’t one of them that needs a bed on the plane sooner.

    Mega busy at work – which I could do without as my head is a shed full of carp. Mum and dad came home from their hols today so had to go round and tell them, I thought mum was going to collapse poor lovely.

    Sorry I’m just posting and running as usual, so mega hugs and love all round to you amazing people. Did see though briefly that Triker and her DD need loads of hugs and kisses – get the barstewards done is my opinion, absolutely disgraceful behaviour by them and the school! And also hollyh’s DSD (sorry if I got the step bit wrong) needs healing vibes. Ouch, can remember when DD1 stood on hers and the mess it made of her.

    Much love to the lovely, amazing toots, jinks, LL and hope diva is ok, haven't seen any purple

    I wouldn't worry that you feel this way, it is only human for you to feel relieved that your own are ok. Although it is annoying having to wait for a space for Danny at least that should tell you that he isn't so bad, hopefully those other people's families will see them soon. One of my friends was injured last year when a rocket skimmed him, if he had been further over he would not be here to tell the tale, luckily he only needs a skin graft! I have friends going back next year and my cousin flits in and out. Every time I hear that someone is seriously injured or worse I breathe a sigh of relief when I hear it isn't my cousin.

    I do hope you get Danny home soon and thanks for your PM. Knowing the other guy is ok should mean that mentally things won't be so bad for Danny (hopefully). I wish you the best reunion in the world when you see him xx

    how about risotto?

    hope all are ok. Cleaned the sink and loo before work this morning so that's something. Late home tonight after evening course but have a shorter bit of a jolly day tomorrow :)

    I emailed my local councillor this morning about something council officers hadn't followed up. emailed him at 8am, reply by 10.15 - not bad service if you ask me!

    right, I am going to quickly look at where I can get ball pool balls online for nephew's birthday, then my bed is calling!

    Thanks for the ant tips! I haven't located a nest (at work) but I did spot a 'run' IYSWIM so I left a glace cherry there for them for over the weekend; I will pop one in a jar first thing Monday morning then trap a few...

    I only want about 10!

    WM x 1 done; x 2 in. green bin, which was full, is being emptied ATM. I am about to go and have a bath then crack on - just weaiting for the teens to vacate the premises.
