greenbee this thread may help you with some ideas for your pancakes - not sure when they are all coming over, but hope I'm not too late with my link.
Well I've had my breakfast, caught up on my emails, and had an argument with Moon about wedding stuff and his lack of help with it all. :mad: He's gone out shooting now, and I'm off to do the food shop later that I couldn't do yesterday as I was looking after my Nana all day (94 with bad leg ulcers on both legs and Alzheimer's).
Had rather a rubbish end to the week on Friday, as was sent to a school I've normally refused to go to as the behaviour is so appalling, and the postcode was obviously wrong. My satnav sent me to this little back alley with a tiny area to turn in with a wall jutting into it, and I managed to badly scrape down one side of my new car when I tried to get back out. By the time I got there, after being blocked in by a taxi, being unable to find anywhere to park, trying to find my way into the school over various playgrounds and locked gates, I was almost in tears! Got into the class to be told by the teacher that the class don't like change so various children would probably be a nightmare but I was lucky as 2 of them were away but if they turned up later there would be trouble, and that I was on playground duty! :mad: The said children were vile, and one of them called me an idiot to my face, and 3 had to be removed from the class!:eek: I've had quotes for the car, and the cheapest I've had is £280 - the others were £400 - £450, so I've booked it all in. It couldn't come at a worse time financially with all of the wedding stuff.:(
Anyway, enough moaning, I know some people are going through far worse than I am.
Happy flying everyone, and enjoy the sunshine if you have some. Hugs and kisses to tootles and LadyL.

When you post a reply use the 'go advanced' choice and then, on the line of options that has B and I the last option is an s with a line through. Select what you want to cross out by highlighting it (like you would when you want to bold something) and use the button with the crossed out sHope I haven't complicated things more for you now, am not the best at explaining things! x

Sexymouse well done you for putting up with such brats.
Hubby up and done his list for today. :eek: I do a list most days but he never does it, so it must be guilt today. HTT been called and his CPN coming tomorrow, fingers crossed they can come up with something.
Kids have brought up all dirty washing so the machine will be on most of today.
I've sorted all clean clothes and put them away, cleaned kitchen worktops, cleared and cleaned kitchen table, put airbed away and thats that so far. Need to go hoke about the freezer and see what can be done for dinner.
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -

Hi all and the Noobs, :wave::wave:
Special hugs to LL, LW, Toots, Soapie, Mudbath and Juliejim.
Hugs, spoons and sticks to those in need, just help yourself.
Lunch was really nice, Dad has got his usuall 2 take-away pots.
so he's chuffed, we are now decluttering some coffee and a cowboy film for the chaps.
I'll take him back home around 4 ish.
Will probably hoover round at his and S+S his bathroom and kitchen.
