Morning All,


(don't tell anyone but its dry here, we wouldn't want to jinx it) OH is off to work, but should only be a couple of hours as the floors are getting tiled today so he'll have nowhere to work. Kids are still making zeds, as is Coco - she has such a hard life :rotfl: I have bread proving and some scone mix waiting to be completed once the bread is done - Csarina put me in the mood yesterday. Actually my bread looks as if it is trying to escape from the tin, yikes! I have a pot of soup just about ready to go, carrot and coriander, my coriander and parsley plants are doing better in this weather than they did all summer

Plan for the day is pretty much whatever OH wants to do, as its his first day "at home" in a good while. The boys are getting bikes for Christmas, so we really need to go and double check sizes before I buy them, I have my eye on a couple of different ones. DH bought DS2's other pressie yesterday, an IPod touch, I have been budgeting like mad for Christmas, and while he still believes in the big guy, I like it to be as special as possible. All DS1 wants is a pair of converse! I think the label thing might be kicking in now, :eek:

So, have a good day all, hugs and happy wishes for you all, and the sick and worried too. Oh, Molly got out of hospital yesterday, she posted on Mooloo's thread at teatime.

Good morning

Another one here with an ironing mountain to plough through today. Serves me right for not doing any in the week! This toy room also needs a good tidy. It looks like a bomb has gone off, and the kitten playing with her toy mousie this morning hasn't really helped.

Grumpy's fish have had babies again, but I think one has died, so I have to remove that before he notices, oh joy! Chicken dinner tonight as that's one of the elf's favourites (and mine too), and lunch will be whatever I find time to make while I'm cleaning and tidying. Probably sandwiches or a toastie. The elf has discovered Harry Potter and wants to know if we can go and see "Harry Potter and the Deathly Howls". Love it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Take care all of you

NPM I am indeed blessed with two smashing ladies for my DDs and have always said they were the best legacy my OH left when he passed away.In the past seven and a half years I have never had to cook myself a Sunday dinner, as my DD and her fantastic OH include me in it every week.We are a close-knit family and all the grandchildren are the same .I wouldn't swap them for all the tea in China.My eldest one fusses a bit at times but I know its because she worries about my health but she is a diamond really and would walk through fire for me bless her .I am a very lucky lady and always thank the big guy at night before I go to sleep.

Morning all

It's a bit damp and grey here, not raining at this moment though.

WM has been on once and the 2nd load is going in. I think I'm going to have to try and figure out how the TD works soon as some of my heavier stuff like jeans and hoodies aren't gonna dry indoors. I don't have radiators sadly, just storage heaters. I have however fashioned up a couple of small drying lines in the airing cupboard using bungees which will hold a few small items like teatowels or a top. quite proud of myself for doing that! :rotfl:

Today will be a day of getting organised! I need to file away all my uni work and lots of other paperwork. I need to arrange stufff for my hols to Montreal (13 sleeps to go! ) like getting to airport and what we are gonna do there! I need to take back my broken blender and look at getting a food processor - it will be a baby one, nothing like Csarina's behemoth!! :rotfl:

Food will probably be whatever I find in the cupboards/freezer. Ideally I don't want to buy anything other than some cheese and fresh veg/fruit til I go away. I've got plenty of food here though so I won't starve. I fancy cheese and potato pie so may make that later.

Have a good Sunday all

These are the 2 I am considering. It's only me here so I think the first one should be suitable. But I have no idea, any suggestions! I want to get from Tesco so I can double up my clubcard vouchers

Well the second one will do grating, slicing, juicing etc, so you'll get more bang for your buck with that, the first one looks like a basic chop and puree machine.
