    Wow you have been busy.
    You make me look look lazy siting here in my chair:D will be stopping here the rest of the i think, im worn out:(

    LOL I am normally like that, I just got my wind back is all... next weekend i'll sleep the whole thing.

    I think after yesterday, I just felt like throwing myself into family life... and I love baking and cooking (since we can't really go out with the grey clouds, wind and rain)!

    Oh! :idea: I think I will make popcorn tonight and watch a movie with the boys (unless there is more Rugby)!!!

    Tomorrow I am making dough for 6 pizza bases and 12 lots of pizza sauce (will freeze all but 1 batch) and I am making meat and potato pie tomorrow for dinner, so will batch make the shortcrust pastry!

    And I have to bake my Childminder some scones as a TY gift!

    I need a chair....
    We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

    Happy Birthday Poppydog!

    Well, Ireland are winning, I have finished the shopping, cleaned the bathrooms, been to the bank, the chicken is in the oven and I have applied for and received my visa for Oz. Feel at least I have completed something today!

    Hope your Saturdays are going well. Take care. XX

    Thanks for that Camelot, need to go watch the rest of it....just back from lunch....3 courses each, bottle of wine and 3 coffees....not sure about bill as OH paid...its wonderful since he got the hang of his laser card. Lovely food if expensive, don't think we will need to eat again for a couple of days!

    I've dried two lots in the dryer today:o hangs head in shame:o
    But the last lot will go on the maiden, otherwise no one would have school uniforms or work clothes for Monday and it hasn't stopped persisting down all day
    Well food ready for lunch tomorrow mum and dad and SIL and DB coming over from Yorkshire. I just need to make a apple crumble for dessert
    Tea tonight will be Chilli out of the freezer as DGS needs lots of attention and its quick and tasty
    JulieGeorgiana Its popcorn and a movie in our house tonight once DGS has gone down to sleep (fingers crossed):eek: I have known him to be up until we go to bed but he is getting better. He is 21 months

    Anway off to remove any low lying ornaments:rotfl:

    Hi all,

    I seem to have been busy most of the week and feel like I haven't posted for a while.I have read most days but not all.
    Essexgirl & PPaula - so sorry to hear about your loss ((hugs))
    Marmitepotato - hello and hope you like it here.There are quite a few doglovers on here :)Hope your oldies paw gets better soon.Our pooch had a back problem a few weeks ago and kept yelping,but Metacam seemed to sort it out,along with rest.
    Happy Birthday Poppydog :beer:
    Finally met my old workmates for what was supposed to be a pre Christmas lunch-kept getting put off due to ilness and weather,so enjoyed that.DS2 came with me to choose a new phone on Thursday,he was off work with sciatica and had an appt with an osteopath after,who said he had a twisted pelvis,and did some stuff on it.He's still taking painkillers though.
    My new phone has a touch screen,but i think i must have fat fingers or something :(.DS2s GF was texting me while I was doing the shop in Sainsbugs and it took me ages to reply.I've trimmed my nails,but its not much better :cool:

    DS1 was 31 yesterday,I made a Victoria sponge which was yummy.A neighbour got me a load of eggs from a farm near her mums as a thankyou for something I did for her,so used 4 to make a nice big one.I was going to get a little smartie cake in a box as a joke till I saw the price-nearly £8:eek:
    Jackie - sorry youve not been well,hope you pick up soon.
    NPM- glad you had a less stressful week,but sorry DS poorly.
    Have a good weekend folks xxx
