    Quite exciting dreams on here :eek:. You bunch of monkeys!!

    Tea has been and gone - arabiatta and baguette. No salad in the house but never mind.

    Collecting jam jars from DD later this week to make chutney. Also fancy making rhubarb and orange jam - sounds odd doesn't it? haven't made it before.

    Ok, off to do some reading and general lazing about. No excuses. just feeling a bit lazy:p

    Hi gang, Just lost a post might be me I have been known to pust the wrong buttons sometines!:D

    Sorry for not being on much lots of "navel gazing", deep nights of the soul and other "grown up" stuff going on. Still no nearer any conclusions though:( Sometines I think we think too much. Anyway, thats for another day.(lucky you)

    Just wanted to send loads of love to Lowsey and her DH. Sweetheart I know exactly what you are going through. We have been there and got the t shirt. All I want to say is please try to be kind to yourselves and take time to recover. Also i f you can talk to each other-I tended to bottle things up and didn't talk to anyone & thats never great.(HTH)
    Will remember you in my prayers.

    Its so loud here I can hardly think. Some people a few doors up are having a drive built and there are workmen lowering the kerb quite why they are making so much noise I dont know(we have double glazing and even with that I have had to turn the radio up)

    Anyway, tea is oven baked courgette and lemon risottto. Dead simple but very yummy. Might bake later not sure. Last night was the first decent nights sleep in over a week(was up most of Monday)

    HUGS to all hope everything is going well with you and yours.

    PM box is still full:o:o:o-some things never change.

    Pen-Pin!! JWard, JackieG, LadyGrim. Cranky, (((HUGS)))

    NPM so glad that DS got to Spain safely. Try to have a rest.

    As for Nick Clegg PHOWA........I would:D:D I only do men in suits:rotfl:(sorry )


    Am going to sort the back bedroom boxes a bit as it's the furthest from the noise.

    Have a great afternoon and take care,

    Ann xxxx
    How do you manage to do them in their suits Ann?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:pm me asap:D;)

    NPM - what a handsome wee boy. Try to relax a bit and enjoy your night away.
    Lowesey - big hugs.
    JackieG - hope your DS and you get through this together.

    Still raining, our sports day at school had to be cancelled as the pitch was flooded. Got a lift to and from work so managed to stay dry today. came home and got the ironing up to date, ran the hoover round and had a quick tidy up. A good friend I haven't spoken to for ages phoned so had a good long chat with her and then another friend came round for an hour. I was quite hungry by the time she left so had left over pasta for tea.

    Just had a bath, will clean out the hamster in a minute (if I can get it in the ball and it doesn't bit me!).

    Take care all.

    Evening everyone

    I always seem to be one of the last on this thread. Worked a full day today, only got another 5 weeks to go till I finish. Then a week to the wedding and then honeymoon (2 weeks of sun).

    Not alot os today apart from washing up, taking salad to work for lunch, using up tuna pasta from tea last night and getting DS2 to do as he is told. Really need to get a move on sorting out my junk, am rapidly running out of time. Not heard from DS1 since last night, he had better call home Thursday as he gets some money then and needs to pay me what he owes. Ex h still owes maintenance overdue by 2 weeks now, or should i say yet again:mad:. Still at least I do get something which is better than some people do, £30 p/wk. As I only work part time it does make a difference. I have tried to get him to pay by standing order, but as he is self employed he refuses.

    NPM - your ds is very cute, enjoy your night away the hotel looks lovely. I too don't believe you are 40, you look fantastic.
    Lowsey - sending ((Hugs)) thinking of you both.

    Enjoy the rest of your evening. Hugs to anyone that needs/wants one. Take Care.

    Hello everyone.

    I was going to come in and put my feet up on the couch, but I'm stuck in the garden in the pouring rain as my head is now too big to fit in the front door now that Eeyore has said I'm fab!:rotfl::rotfl:

    The service was lovely, and the fabulous priest never let me down. It's very hard to watch your loved ones being as upset as that though. Had a good cuddle with my lovely sister, it felt good to get my arms around her. Thanks all for your kindness, it means a lot, you are all:A

    Except NPM who's not giving away her beauty secrets!:p

    Goodnight all. X
