Quite a heavy breeze here so decided to wash towels, its raining, had to run out and get them in, still they have had a blow.

Cleaned out the wood stove this morning could not believe the bed of ash that had built up, its in our metal dustbin cooling off, we will dig it into the beg garden in the spring, have replaced the grate and lit the stove with coal, just to see how it burns......have a flat bottomed kettle on the top of the stove half full of water, want to see if it will boil to make tea. yesterday I put a full kettle on, it took most of the evening to get really hot, so guess if I start a casserole off on the hob I could trewnsfar it to the top of the woodburner to simmer away all day. Will have to give it a whirl.

OH went for is walk this morning, he is walking a little further each day, in bed having a rest now.....will wake himlater with tea and cake.

Not used the new baby yet, the Friday clean seemed to take me ages today, so I am postponing things to tomorrow when life should be a little less hectic. I got a book out of the library, Mary Berry's simple cakes, there is a recipe in there for a chocolate and vanilla marble cake made in a 2lb loaf tin, I have to have a go at that!! also need some scones for the freezer, great if someone pops in, I can take them out and warm then slightly in the combi, split and butter them, fresh baked???? of course!! Well they were when they went in the freezer!!

good wishes and sympathies to everyone in need today!
İ feel crap due to a lingering heavy cold. i have a continual headache despite regular nurofen. i have had this for about 13 days now and it is getting me down! The place i live has weather not dissimular from a desert and i work with lots of sneezing kids. Everyone at the school has some version of the same malady so here's looking forward to the longest and hardest day of work for us-Saturday.
Thankfully tomorrow is the last day before a 12 day holiday. i think they call it eid in the muslim calender and its akin to the xmas break. The kids get a holiday which means i am off but the rest of the country work most of it. Hopefully the weather will improve because today is wet despite not being particularly cold. i think my sinuses are being pressured by the closeness on reflection. İ could just drink a hot lemsip but will have to wait Mrs de to see what medicinal alternatives she has hidden away.
İ didnt go to the gym despite my 'promise' yesterday. İ am on a reduced callorie diet in my life and i am not sure it is helping with my wellbeing. i am trying to keep to about 1200 to 1400 callories a day to keep a steady weight of 11 4 --bmi 23,3. The gym is really superflous but i like to feel i am keeping fit--while i feel so ill!!!--anyway good evening to you all and have a great weekend whatever your up to!

So hugs and good wishes for Molly too, and hopefully EssexGirl is picking up now. xxx

Hi all,

This is the 1st time I've posted here, but I could def do with some OS tips, money is quite tight at the mo and I wish I could get more motivated with meals. I just never seem to know what to cook. I like (and miss) proper HM meals, pies, stews, etc. The other problem is my DD is very fussy with meals, won't eat veg so I don't buy it

I need a good kick up the bottom !

I have a breadmaker but it hasn't come out of the cupboard for months, I have a slow cooker which is gathering dust. I'll keep reading looking for idea.

headache has lifted. its still raining but tomorrows forcast is for sunshine and warm.

İ forgot to mention earlier that last night we had quite a strong earthquake --4,9, it was the first one i have ever felt and made me feel quite sick with fright.--apparently there were 9 quite sizable tremors during the day but i am not the most sensitive of people!!--the 1 at10,10pm i felt!!--my wife says the place is on the move but she doesnt seem too concerned--i will cross examine her later!!--if i am still alive tomorrow -catch you then!

Hello everybody!

Just popped on to share my amazing interview experience! I didn't want to go at all, and when I got there was so freaked out I nearly went home!

However, the people at the hospital were sooo lovely, and for a change there were only 2 interviewers; a man and a woman. From the get-go they were so laid back and chatty, it was lovely.

And! Halfway through the interview, the lady said 'I really like you, I could work well with you!' I couldn't believe it Also, I was able to answer two questions that none of the other candidates had been able to, which the interviewers told me there and then had really impressed them.

So, it's now a waiting game, as they're going to call me next week if I'm succesful. I have to say that's it's the nicest interview experience I've had so far, because the people interviewing were normal with me and allowed me to give some of myself in the questions, and relay back my experiences!

Anyway, just wanted to share Am off now to do some shopping, then maybe I'll have a small glass of wine to relax after some stressful weeks....

Hugs to all that needs them.
