Afternoon peeps!

Work was OK this morning, OH and Coco picked me up and we went for a lovely walk, then popped into Boots and M&S. He has a cold, which is driving me insane - I feel your pain Candy - everytime he coughs I want to strangle him I got a couple of bits in M&S, I love their veggie Kievs, which are £2.99 for two but they are a once in a blue moon treat.

I sent him for a nap, pretending I was being all nice and concerned, but in reality his coughing was driving me nuts. I can hear him up there now, coughing and spluttering all over my nice clean bedsheets; why have I no sympathy this week? :rotfl:

Niclou hope you are feeling stronger and more resolute this morning. xx
Redruby hope your mum starts to pick up soon, and dad is OK. xx
Rosyred hope the funeral went OK.

I know we have lots of friends in need of hug sympathy or a kick up the bum just now, and I am thinking about each of you

Haggis neeps and tatties for dinner of coure. We are having veggie Haggis of course - maybe you could try that esmf? They are 2 for £3 in Tesco just now, and there is also a recipe on the GC page one too.

Lord help us, he's back up, his cough is too bad to sleep!

Have a lovely afternoon everyone.

Am wondering what a forest tuesday is, or am I being dumb?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

If you're really bored one night here's the FS website. It's great to see kids who clearly aren't allowed to get mucky get absolutely filthy, jumping and rolling in mud, climbing trees, building dens and generally have lots of fun exploring the woods. Some of the kids have been whittling with potato peeler and a freshly cut stick today

Since I've been out all morning I've done naff all Made a batch of cakes for the kids and just catching up with emails and MSE before the school run Off out to my Autism course tonight so tea will be whatever I can grab before I go.

No other goss I am afraid :rotfl:

Pink Giraffe - Hope your mum is OK

Redruby - hugs for you and your mum xx

Rosyred - Hope the funeral goes as well as possible xx

Tru - Oh dear sounds like you're living in my idea of hell. Hope the kitchen is sorted out soon. Araldite should fix your sink - how did you stop yourself from killing Mr Tru for breaking it? :rotfl:

OK can't remember anything else Those of you celebrating Burns Night have a good time

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

Afternoon all,

I see lots of hugs are in order so...:grouphug:
That cold has finally exploded i feel awful,throat is so painful
DD has chicken pox,poor thing. Shes not overly ill just spotty so we are snuggling together for a few days. She defo wont be at school this week.
I have a job interview tomorrow :j:j its a good job with great hours and training so fingers crossed!! Would be lovely to share some good news.

I have bacon that needs using up-brought 3 600g packs for £5 at farmfoods (2 in freezer) and with only 2 of us it takes a while to get through
Trying to find different ways to eat it so DD doesnt get bored. So dinner tonight: Grilling it crispy then mixing with philly cheese,mixed herbs and pasta twists,served with side salad.
A little ironing needed to be done later and i'll go change bed clothes in a mo.

Keep warm and have a lovely afternoon/evening all

i waited as long as possible for the cleaners this morning!-i was almost late and my wife cancelled them as they commuted into our area.--they got caught up doing some legal papers and it made them late but my wife stands for no nonsense---could be looking for new cleaners next!

Day has clouded over and become cold--it has had a couple of heavy downpours with hail! most unusual and the cook was more interested in it than giving me my lunch on time! i am like all men and get narky when i am not fed!-i think she got the message not to do it again!--the outlook is for cold but bright weather--the weather swings here constantly until the end of March--it is never as wet or dull as the uk though!--the city is between high mountains and a gulf of sea but in in such a direction that it is sheltered from rain and extremes.

My good old pounds will be in my hands tomorrow for exchanging in the relevant shop--i am hedging my life's wealth into a car and gold--i dont trust the old folding stuff to protect me from inflation.--i asked a question about it on the main thread and i got some real abuse from some very vindictive people-makes me want to never post a question again!

Happy Burns Night to those celebrating it :beer: I LOVE Haggis!! had some at a wedding in Scotland last year with neeps & tatties, first time I'd tried it and it was lush

Big hugs to all the poorlies and those with worries, hope things get better very soon.

Halight thanks for your good advice yesterday regarding my DD, she hasnt heard from the BF since he hung up on her yesterday :mad: and she is still very upset, I have tried talking to her but I know the minute he clicks his fingers she'll forgive him again :mad:

Paid some bills today :eek:

Dont know what to do for dinner yet as DH has football until 8.30pm
might do something simple like poached eggs on toast.

Hope everyone is having a good day

hugs xx

Hi

Just thought I would pop on while helping DS3 with his homework. Sorry havent read the thread yet so can't reply. Had some worrying news it looks like we might have to re-apply for our jobs after some restructuring so feeling a bit worried. A lot of people seem to be in this position who work for the public sector.:(

Well will go and read the thread, then it's teatime.:):)
