Krystal, that cooking thing sounds quite good fun. You must make a fair bit of food at it, if there's enough for leftovers.

Sami :eek: at some of those weddings! OH lived with travellers for a while, and the weddings really are crazy. Don't think I'll be heading to that dressmaker when we do get round to getting married somehow :rotfl:

sami - oh woman of all important knowledge (can you tell I want something )

Off to Ikea on friday, what can I get with my family card know about free tea and coffee, I want to time my visit to include a meal time too, but really going for a mooch and as a change of scene :rotfl: any tips/hot favourites?

I'm sorry I am useless in this area! All I know is you get discount on some items in store, I've only eaten in the restaurant once *feels shame* (I have eaten in the vardig (sp?) cafe a few time though, I like it in there more - not sure if all ikeas have one though.

I hope Charlotte gets her Marks and Spencer's problem sorted, Becles :rotfl:.

Marks and Spencer rang back this afternoon. They couldn't ring earlier because a cat with a brown nose ate all the fruit and all the people were getting cross because they could only buy vegetables. They've sorted out the icing and they're going to give it to Mark tomorrow. He can't get it this evening as he's going to play football now it's not raining.

Still no idea what she is talking about :rotfl:

Can someone tell me what ikea meatballs should look like as a meal,

I'm not keen on the Ikea sauce, so we usually have them with pasta and a tub of fresh pasta sauce.

They generally have a recipe and then supply the ingredients for everyone to make their own portion... Although when we did chicken curry the other week we all did a little bit of prep and everything was cooked together and portioned up afterwards... They supply little foil containers (like from the chinese) and you get to take it home and eat it... Usually just enough for me and Caitlyn... Today it took so long to make the meatballs we didn't have time to cook them or the garlic bread and spaghetti so just put them into containers to cook at home... I was going to do it for lunch but I thought it looked too much... It's done us all nicely... And funnily enough, the recipe we were following was for 4 and we halved it!

I shall definitely do the sauce again, Aimee kept telling me it was the best meatballs in sauce she's ever had...

Caz, poor Charlie! He gets everything hoing doesn't he? Hope it doesn't spread to the rest of them. And when will he be recovered so we mett up (and I can buy your loola) R.Mac coming too? Anyone else from up our way? (antibac at the ready) I'm free any day except the 13th (Uni open day).

I have forgoten what else I was going to say but I did read. Yay wee james!!!! Getting home soon!

I've had a good day, my new car is awesome and dead lazy

Chris is doing well at school and is officially 5 years old! His consultant appointment went well, apart from some specific learning disabilities, his speech and problems (moderate behavoural issues, napies at night, occasional soiling, dressing) his global development is now that of a 5 year old!!! Matching his age!!!

And the school have said that he will be integrated with the mainstream class. Doesn't mean he will move in the next few years, but by the end of primary school he should be in a mainstream class with minimal support. And his SALT has agreed that his speech is improving

Now, I have some very pretty ribbon that arrived so I'm making tutus Just because I am enjoying it

Beckles, doggy is doing the typical 'oh my gosh, do you see what I have to put up with?' look! But I love it! Especially the butterfly mask one!

I just showed D... He actually seemed quite interested!:rotfl:


Somebody gave me a tip today that's never occured to me... Have your tea/coffee before you go shopping... Take your mug with you... And have another before you leave...

Which reminds me, Sami... I can't believe you don't know what the meatballs are supposed to look like... I see the picture every time I go into the cafe!

We just had meatballs in tomato sauce with spaghetti and garlic bread... All home made by moi with ingredients supplied by surestart in the "cooking around the world" thing I've been going to... Usually whatever we cook is good enough for Caitlyn and I to have for lunch but today there was loads so I saved it for tea... Very :money: Just have to put the children to bed in a bit and have us some [STRIKE]roses[/STRIKE] pudding...
.

thanks for the tip.

your class sounds like fun!
