  • Me again.

    Boss has told me not to go in. :j so I have the next 4 hours to kill! Think I'll be going back to bed with cuppa and book for a bit. Then I might attempt to tidy the pit that is my flat before I get ready to go out.

    .

    It's snowed here!!!!! :j:jProper snow, and lots of it. As we are right next to the sea we missed out on the snow last time.

    !!!!!! BBC Weather said we were due heavy snow. We had a small blizzard yesterday and now it says grey cloud. No snow in sight. I fcuking hate the Midlands we always miss the good stuff :(

    Right now I am well and truly in a grump I shall continue.
    H is off poorly and being a typical carp patient. I feel slightly better, bit dizzy headed and chest is sore and full of mucus :eek: But hey ho I shall carry on as normal.

    Heard on the news that Blake Edwards has died :( So rather than share a tune I thought I'd share a clip from one of my favourite films that he made

    OS wise today? Not a fat lot. Need to blend the leek and tattie soup I made overnight and perhaps makes some biccies. Really depends on what energy I have :o We never had the chicken chow mein for tea as H didn't want anything so we will have to eat that tonight or it will have to be chucked (and I am NOT doing that!).

    Bargainbird - Happy birthday :beer: Have a great day xx

    Sorry if I've missed anything else important need to get a move on.

    Hugs, spoons and high fives all round. Have a good day OS or not.

    Morning all

    Cold and frosty here. DS 1 and 2 sat watching cricket, they are ready for the last day at school and both look tired. DS3 still getting ready DH dropping him off. Plans for today are to get dressed, go into town for 30 minutes then into school for a few hours.

    Still got quite a lot to do before op, but feel like they might just get done. Will have to slow down a bit though as my back wasn't quite so good as it has been and if that goes there will be no op.

    Dad is home in time for his 75th Birthday. A bit washed out but happy to be home.

    Best go and get cracking, take care in the snow/ice.

    Good Morning All!
    Been MIA recently, but like a bad penny, here I am again!
    Also up at silly o'clock - been doing this for several days, so use the time to crack on with the Christmas cards. Yes, I know you all got yours in the post weeks ago, but there you are, I never have done things early! have now run out of cards so will have to venture down town later - on foot as the snow is back again.
    JackieO I really hope your plans go ahead - it'd be such a shame if they were cancelled now.
    Bargainbird - have a great day today.
    House in need of general tidy-up I think. Ironing pile growing legs again and trying to escape from the cupboard.
    Bought lamb chops, pork steaks and chicken breasts all for £10 yesterday at Mr T's so that's the meals sorted for the next three days! Need to make more bread and soup too I think. WM needs to go on again, and I have just finished drying yesterday's washing. Oh well, plenty to be doing then.
    Hope you all manage to keep warm today - and no slipping over on the ice! Take care.
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    Morning All

    Happy Birthday Bargain Bird :bdaycake:
    Lowsey I was so happy to hear your news :j:kiss::j

    Well the snow is back with a vengance we had quite a lot yesterday. So I am stuck indoors but that is ok I have a lot more prepping for Christmas to do. I am making a Delia Chocolate truffle torte today and freeze that, veggies done, mince pies done :) so I am getting there.

    SIL is coming to do my hair:T so that will be nice especially as I don't have to pay cos I am her computer fixer :D

    Dinner tonight is left over stew in a pie with roasties and HG runner beans I found lurking in the freezer

    Keep warm and safe all x
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    Morning all:j:j
    Cold here with a very light dusting of snow. With a few bit of snow comming down nothing really to shout about but we might be in for it later on.

    We had a lovley meal last night and got back at 11:50. Iv not long been up and my wife is still in bed. There are no twins here this morning as they had a sleep over at my wifes moms house last night. im not sure what time they will be back but it should be before lunch.

    Happy birthday barginbird:bdaycake:

    Got no real plans fro today so im not sure what we shall be doing if anything.

    Have a great day everyone:j:j
    :jYou can have everything you wont in lfe, If you only help enough other people to get what they wont.:j

    Morning All :wave:,

    No snow here and I'm kind of hoping we don't get any this time. DH and my Mum have me under house arrest at the slightest bit of bad weather atm, plus my sister is meant to be coming up this weekend. Mind you if it snows down her way in Devizes, I can't imagine she'll be able to get up anyway and then we won't see her or her family till the new year :(

    OS wise, am at a bit of a loss as to what to have for tea tonight as the freezer is rammed full of turkey, gammon, pork etc so we've got very little in! I'm sure I'll be able to create something, just have to dust off my imagination :rotfl:

    Hope everyone is ok, take it easy if you have to go out in the snow, it can be sooooo dangerous. Hugs to all xx

  • Morning All!

    Aaaatchooo! Bless you all! :D

    Happy Birthday BargainBird :beer: :beer: Mwah!

    Boys are at school, DS2 seems to be quite snuffly and not quite right this morning, but he's gone anyway, if he gets worse they'll phone me no doubt. The house is a tip, I got not much done yesterday. That's a lie, I got nothing done. OH is back tonight/tomorrow morning, so I had better get a move on, goodness knows how I'll manage but needs must, I am off for a cuppa and to find some energy.

    Glad to hear your dad is home Polly. Hugs spoons and Hi5's everywhere else.
