Morning all,

Bright beautiful day here :T I have my bedding in the wm, will get that on the line, and then get dd's in the machine, both should dry today.

I have the biggest chicken ever to cook later, my mum bought it for me a few weeks back, I got it out of the freezer yesterday, should do us a load of meals, will have some of that later with roasties, roast squash, and sprouts.

Popped into see dad yesterday physically he is getting much better, he is walking really well, and is up and down out of the chair, but he is still really confused, the nurses caught him in the carpark during the night, luckily the alarm went off, I had the dogs in the car, so he walked out with me to see them, he was so pleased to see his dog, bought a tear to my eye .

We then took both dogs for a really long walk through the woods, it was beautiful with all the leaves changing colour and dropping, mums dog is not used to a long walk, and was soooo hot, she kept rolling in huge muddy puddles to cool off, both dogs were then shattered , I have had a word with OH and we agreed that if needs be, we will take on mum and dads dog, if they find they can't cope.

Plans today, include a tidy through, and a roast dinner and another long walk, its the village fireworks tonight so dogs will be terrified, a long walk will help to wear them out.

Hugs to Csarina and OH xx

Morning all
Anyway, csarina those pressies are FAB - did you embroider the card yourself, too?

Thanks for the comment, I have a machine that does embroidery, I am hanging onto it for dear life, it was very expensive and now I have decided to stop doing so much quilting I should really sell it, but I know I will not get a lot for it even though it has been upgraded to match the new machine they released last year.

With Oh as he is just now I am not getting much time to sew and to be honest I am just about quilted out. Have several UFO's to finish, but will continue to make things like potholders for presents,and cards, but thats going to be about it.

Morning all! Spending the day at home today, going to try and sort out the disaster that is my store cupboard! We got a large chicken out the freezer last night, it's hopefully going to last us at least 3 meals and then soup too.

I'd like to cook a crumble today and some cookies.

I'd also like to make some egg mayo for sarnies tomorrow but have no idea what to do! so going to investigate.

Morning all:j:j

Hi i hope everyone is ok. And i really hope that some of you rememebr me:A
It been months since iv posted on the old style bords I just always seem to run out of time or one of the twins needs somthing or wonts me to play, read or stand one my head:rotfl:

On the subject of my head the brain tumor is still there but not causeing any touble at the moment but on a scan that i had 3 months ago its been joined by another one. Both are very small so still no treatment as of yet:) (dont know if thats good or bad)
The other 3 tumors that iv had removed over the last 10 years(can not belive that is been 10 years since the first) anyway the others 3 have and still have not returned:T:T

Also if you rember i loast mmy job in january 2009 i had worked there for 12 years. Well good news on the job front too. I have been doing some work for them on temp contracts that thay keep renweing. This is great as with my health very few companys would even give me a chance but as thay know me thay are very willying. Work has really picked up there the last few months so i can see myself working for them for a good few more months. i hopeing that when things go back to some sort of normal then i will get a full contract again with them. but we will see.

The twins are doing great thay are almost two and a harf now:T:T growing and chatting away just like women thay never shut up{ducks behind computer sreen and the forum women look to see who just made that coment:rotfl:}

Anyway lots of tidying up to be done today and at some point this month we need to start to sort out the twins toys as thay have far to many that are now to yeang for them and thay never play with them any more, christmas is coming and thay will yet again be given far to much by there reand and graet grand parents:rotfl:thay get more than my wife or i ever got:rotfl:


Roast brisket for dinner today. we are thinking cooking and eating it tonight to max time sorting the house out.

In the garden iv already put spring cabage and other early veg in for next year. Also iv got kale growing that we can pick and eat all over winter.
This year i gave sweet spuds ago. Well i foloowed the growing guide to the letter and when i dug them up i found nothing and i got was a bit of root:eek: but i did do really well with mormal spuds:T:T and we have uptill a few weeks ago anly really ahd to buy large backing spuds so i was really pleased with thay.

Anyway thanks for reading and hello to all new and old posters i really do hope that all you old posters remeber me.

I hope to start posting again more often.

Hello Everyone!

Not been on lately...Off out to lunch in a minute-not very OS but not too expensive. A workmate of DH runs a pub with her DH and we are going out with two other friends to have lunch there as it is apparently delish. And we have had root veg stew with dumplings, baked beans and butter beans two days running so that was mse. Yum!

Nice to have a break from decorating but the clock is ticking on that as DD is coming home for Christmas.....My knees don't alf feel it being up a ladder with a roller!.The singing plasterer is coming tomorrow to skim DS's bedroom so he(DS not the plasterer) will be on the put u up bed in the sitting room while it dries. Then he will decorate hall and stairs...can't have DH leaning over the gap on a ladder as not getting any younger.

Anyway ramble over and have a nice day everyone.

Take care

Gintot
