    Good Morning All. Woke up at 3.30am and didn't get back to sleep at all! never mind, may well have a nap later on to catch up. Did all my online banking tasks so that's sorted for a bit anyway. Wrote a card to DS' ex partner as well, plus caught up on a few emails that needed a rsponse. Out early today as I'm meeting someone from the refuge who's collecting the last of the parcels today. Then a quick visit to Curves, I think, then collecting more books for this wretched essay (still not started!!!)
    WM has done towels. Thought they'd need the TD as it was reallyraining hard earlier on - but it just may be clearing up now. Will see what it's like when I get home. many thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday!
    Hope you have a good day. take care.

    Think twice before spending anything!

    morning all!

    frosty here this morning - had to scrape the car!

    Off to work later but need to pop into town this morning first. WM is on - hopefully it will stop nice enough to hang it out again - I love to see the washing blowing on the line:T tiny bit of ironing to do. Need a quick vac downstairs too.

    DH is having omlette and chips for tea, probably something similar for DS - I'm having mine at work and have taken a quorn cottage pie out to defrost(HM).
    Sticking to my SW plan and am pretty sure I've lost all my Christmas weight:jas the scales are being nice to me:D

    PP - hope you've had a better night x

    MrsMH - well done on the weight loss!:T

    Julie - how did WW go?

    have a great day all x
    Do what you love :happyhear

    Morning All,

    Misty but bright IYKWIM I don't mind the mist it makes me feel all mysterious:cool:

    Chaos last night, DS2 and DH car off the road so the family car used for work which means I couldn't get to WW. Unfortunately my brain took this as a sign to eat anything it liked:o Oh well back on the wagon today.

    Found out that step son and his wife are expecting a baby boy in June which is lovely and promised myself I am going to crochet him a blanket so will begin the squares today.

    Washing on the maiden and left over pork for tea. I have a leek so some kind of casserole maybe with sliced potatoes on top and need to make some twinks for the tin.

    I also need to get some more bits on ebay.

    We are currently looking for a summer house (posh shed:rotfl:) for the bottom of the garden that we can use as a home office. Don't want to spend a fortune though and DH doesn't mind if he has to alter or repair it.

    Anyway off for breakfast marmalade and toast.

    Will catch up later, Have a good day peeps J x

    Good Morning All
    Already had a busy day and its only quarter to 9.
    Finished yesterdays towels off in TD, WM on, DW unloaded and ironed a few things.
    Hoping to get the washing on the line today it was looking fairly bright 5 mins ago but has now clouded over. So will have to wait and see.
    Went to take my DGS to nursery and then my DD onto work but had to take them back home. DGS has a bad cold and a rattling chest so DD is going to take him to doctors later.
    Plans for today:
    Work (switch into work mode as I work from home)
    Lunchtime - put chicken casserole in SC for tonight
    Try to get my head around new WW points. Rejoined online yesterday, was debating this for a while but did it via quidco and they were offering £30 cashback.
    Lets hope that it works.
    Have a good day everyone.
  • Thanks a lot Gers.
    It has changed from dark and damp here to blue skies and sun so it may be line fine after all. Weyhey:)
    Wash load is on atm anyway and 2nd ready to go in when that's finished, so hopefully the peggies will get an airing.
    Good day all, Silver x

    Julie - sorry you missed your WW meeting, at least nobody hurt x

    JackieO - just read your last post from yesterday - (((hugs))) to all Jazmine's family and friend - such a sad thing to happen at such a young age, my DS2 was also born in 1992 so I can only imagine what they are all going through x

    That's what I have done too, finding recording the points on line is good for me, as it gives the portions I can have by just looking up.

    Morning all !

    Woke up to thick ice today brrr, think the thermals are coming out again.

    My thoughts are with you and Jasmine's family Jackie x

    did all the usuals this morning, pack ups / drinks and all kicked out to work and school.
    Also loaded the washing machine up and put a load of wet washing on the radiators to dry.

    Another busy day coming, have to attend my course this morning, take HB form to the council, post /pick parcel up from depot, come back do some work. Then pick four kids up, drop two back and make tea.

    Then were off to see about a climbing for the boys and OH, which i think starts at 6pm. Not sure how much it will be,but hopefully it will be cheap.

    Not sure what were having for tea, i'll have a look in a bit. Proably freezer surprise! Or veg,cream and bacon of some kind.

    Can I have some of what you're on please :D

    Morning my lovelies :D

    Off to Brum Rag Market today to see if I can buy some nice fabrics for my craft projects. That will be most of the day gone probably :o DD will go round to grannies so I can concentrate without a screaming child :cool: Hopefully meet H for lunch too if his meeting finishes in time.
    Got Tuscan 3 bean soup in the SC for H's lunches, I will try and pick up a baked spud for lunch (no butter <weeps>) as today is my first day on SW. Got to say 28g of Cheerios is sooooooo not enough for breakfast :eek: I think I shall have to revert to having eggs for brekkie but I don't always have the time to cook that before the madness that is the school run.
    Anyway not much OS going on aside from that.
    Tea will be a makeshift, I am starting a 5 week Autism course tonight so H will have to fend for himself.

    Mrs MH - well done on the weightloss :T

    Hugs, spoons and high fives all round. Have a good day OS or not. I can see blue sky and a wee bit of weak sunshine here :j
    I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife :D Louise Brooks
    All will be well in the end. If it's not well, it's not the end.
