Thank you pwps
I am hoping this year will be a lot better than recent years. Thanks to Bonnington, plmbl and beanielou. I hope you all have a great New Year and next year turns into a much better year for all of you too.
I have had a lovely Christmas, so far far, different to last year. The only disappointment was that Mr P thought I had bought myself a present so he didn't get me anything except a couple of pyjama tops which I bought.Silly man
One of my friends bought me loads of presents so I had lots to openI also got a bottle of Baileys, a book, a silk scarf, some great recipe books a multi colour scarf, face cream.
We have been to visit DA today and she told me not to visit again as she is going home. I am not so sure she will be able to manage alone. I guess she will have to be given the chance to try.
It won't be very soon, sadly for her, as she is back in the ward where she was forced to eat.
All my sons are still here. I am still living in a house with four men and sometimes fiveThey are all very well trained and will cook and clean when asked.
I did a lot of research and have ordered a halogen oven which has a basket included, for chips. We have missed the Actifry so are hoping the halogen will work well for us. I bought the JML with attachments/extras for £69.99 and also got cashback.
I am still looking at overlocker sewing machines as I quite fancy having one to make my sewing quicker and neater. Can't make up my mind whether it would be a need or a wantbusiness mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

We loved the actifry but bought it cheap on ebay. The halogen oven is much cheaper than actifry and can do more, I think/hopebusiness mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

thank you for all the Happy New years
I have had problems getting to use my laptop as DSs have all been using mine. Although I have to admit I have started posting on the SW thread again. I have gained so much weight. I am sure it is true that eating healthily costs more than filling up on carbs.
I have heard from Lioydstsb that they are refusing my reduced offer and suggest I send in an improved offer. C0op have sent a very threatening letter even though I had a phone call from them accepting my offers, very confusing.
Boys have finished plaster boarding (with high density insulated board) the hall: the walls this time and so it means that we can get the boiler put in as soon as it is plastered and painted
And the most exciting thing is that I have a new neighbour at last.And she has 2 pigs and a sheep
It has been worrying having lots of property developers looking at it and considering huge extensions. She likes it just as it is, quirky.
