Morning all, back to work today as boss paid me yesterday! still managed to blitz the house! MUST get back on the OS train x
Just a minute what is DH/DP doing, just sitting and watching you? Sorry esmf, you need, include him in the routine, him doing, you showing him how and what to do, and ensuring he gets up with you in the morning so he can do that routine too, showing him else he will never be able to do it. Men are not incapable just crafty. You will make yourself ill trying to do both.

Afternoon Everyone :wave:
Hi newbes :hello:
Well nothing much OS wise to report, weetabix + banana for breakfast, 2 poached eggs on toast for lunch, and Chinese tonight for their New Year. Most of the HW is up to date, DH sweeps round each day, and washing up to date (will just ignore the ironing mountain for now:o:o).
Been and had my roots done and hair trimmed and a eyebrow pluck and pedicure this afternoon, so feeling very pampered.
Special menu for 4 persons 18€ per person
Chinese Appetizer
Pekin Duck
Sizziling Beef
Prawn Garlic Chile :eek::eek:
Chicken withh Fresh Asparagus
Vegetables Chop Suey
Fried Rice
2 bottles of wine (1/2 per person)
or cold drink
House Dessert
Tea or Coffe
Live Music & Fireworks
Glad everythings went well Taplady and Redruby glad things are moving with SS, the problem is often weekend and late shifts are made up by casual staff. I have found normal medical nurses do not have the slightest idea of dementia type illnesses, some even seem to think such things are below them.
Take care all DGMember #8 of the SKI-ers Club

evening all
been a bit of a day! got to call to pick up ds from nursery as he had been sick twice
have spent all day clearing up after him. hasnt been able to keep anything down the poor thing. keeps asking for his beloved 'papples' though :rotfl: he's apple mad so have grated one and he is munching on that happily. made him some ice lollies with apple juice (diluted) too. starting to feel a bit queasy myself now 
other than that nothing else to report!"I have learnt that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one""You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”Maya Angelou0 -
evening all were just about 2 have tea but i have a question i made some bread rolls and set a tea towel ove them instead of cling film (really need 2 get my hands on a shower cap) and it didn't rise i only just relised 20mins ago so i've put cling film on it now but i don't know if it's a lost cause now tbh
why did it not rise with a tea towel? i was in a hurry and it seemed quicker lol, luckily i have a loaf if bread so we won't starve 
hope u all had a nice dayDEC GC £463.67/£450

Hi all:j:j
Quick post from me, I'm now coming down with a cold. The twins have had it and my wife has it at the moment. Pluss a bad throut which she is on tablets for. I was awake most of the night with her coughing. So looks like it my turn to have it now.
Very long day at work again:eek:
Then I get back from work to find that the power lead on the laptop is broken and the batt if flat. :mad::mad: so need to get a new lead now. I'm writing this my iPad.
Tap lady I hope that you are ok after today. And that your tests come back ok. All the best.
Have a good evening everyone:j:j:jYou can have everything you wont in lfe, If you only help enough other people to get what they wont.:j0 -
I used to sniff at supermarket work (I worked at M & S but it wasn't really a supermarket where I lived) but I work for Sainsburys p/t now and it's not bad. I wouldn't say it lights my soul up with joy :rotfl: and I work on checkouts with added responsibility so at times I am like ARGHHH but it is good. From a MS POV they pay over the NMW and you get 10 - 15% off and there's a staff shop of damaged goods where you get things really cheap normally because the packaging is damaged. I buy packs of 8 meringue nests that are broken in the packet for 10p, cans for 10p and other bits and bobs for loads less (got the blister plasters I like for 75p the other day and they're £3.99 normally). Plus the people are really nice. I met my best friend, loads of other good friends and my bf there! The only downside is that you end up spending on odd bits and bobs you see on offer/feel you need that really you don't need. But if you left your purse at home that would solve the problem! Saying that you get all that at M & S but the staff shop has much more stuff and cheaper and the discount, when I was there, was 20%!
Lily I can't wait! January has been so depressing I need cheering up!
Agree wholeheartedly with working for supermarkets. My DD works p/t for Co-op and gets paid over the minimum wage and she only just 18. She gets a discount card and I have one too plus they seem very supportive employers and a very friendly team.I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0 -
Hello
big hugs for all the poorlies there seems to
be a lot of you suffering at the moment
dinner is jacket potatos, chilli and salad so nice
and easy.
might make some twinks later, haven't made them
before but I've written down the recipe and everyone
on here seems to love them and I have all the ingredients.
DD's ex BF texted her while she was in the pub last night
saying that if she didn't come and pick up everything
she's given him, pressies, cards, letters, clothes etc he was
going to burn it all :eek: he really is a nasty piece of work :mad:
shes out with friends again tonight so she is keeping busy.
hugs xx0 -
Oh dear there are lots of you feeling poorly or have poorly families. Lots of hugs for you all xx
Tappers - crossing my fingers for good biopsy results x
mrsr - Hugs for you, sorry to hear about your mum xx Hope you're holding up OK xx
Picked up cat, she's a bit skittish but reasonably happy. Problem is going to be keeping the kids from getting carried away :cool:
Off to tap tonight although I feel shattered
Still I've missed so many weeks so far this year I don't want to miss any more. I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife
