  • Good Morning All

    Feels colder here today but still mild for the time of year.

    DW emptied & kitchen tidied. WM just about to finish & will be reloading that straight away. Plan today is couple of buss phone calls, college, big tidy up,more washing, a little ironing and change bedding. Would also be nice if could give stairs a good hoover but will have to see about that one.

    Have got to pop to asda to pick up some fruit and will also find something for dinner - meal planning has gone out of the window recently and need to organise freezers so can start doing it again.

    Have a great day.

    Aussie the avatar is very festive. How did you manage to model for Wanty? ;)Wanty you did a fantastic job.

    I sent her a photo Annie. :D

    Does anybody have any nice recipes for eggplant? I think you call them aubergines. I've never bought them before and they were reduced. 2 meduim size ones for 99c. I'd want to make them into a main meal.

    My tree & decorations are all packed away. :rolleyes: I will have to tizzy up the house Xmas eve I expect.
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Morning All - Hope we are all well

    You know when you've slept heavy and had a bead a dream, and you wake up with a thick head - thats me this morning.

    Just had my meusli - so slowly coming round.

    Finally caught up with washing, after changing all bedding all wk end, no doubt by 2mr, it will be piled up again.

    Finally got thru to WTC 2 tell them I changed jobs. Took me 3 attempts to call them y-day, as each agent wanted different information about this that and the other. In the end I got so frustrated, I think the last agent could tell I was pst off. He was really helpfull. Anyway - got it sorted.

    Off for a shower peeps.
    Have a lovely day - take care
    love as usual

    P.S. There are speed camera's on Newbold Rd DLB - Be carefull

    Morning All

    Feeling rather yucky this morning, with all day sickness and a cold to top it off. Its not helped by the fact that me and DH had a row last night, hes not very sympathetic to early pregnancy and cant understand why I'm just going to bed after dinner on the days I work.

    Today is my half and half day. So its off to toddler group this morning and then its w*r* this afternoon. OS wise I have a load of washing to go on the maiden in a minute and I need to work out whats for tea. I really need a BM now as I dont have the energy for making bread by hand, I may put a wanted on Freecycle. Sorry for rambling this morning

    Have a good day everyone

    Good morning everyone. :hello:

    Three out of four have left for work/school and I’m just sitting here with a cup of coffee trying to waken up before taking the youngest to school.

    The breadmaker's on making the loaf for today, but apart from getting up that's all I’ve achieved so far. :o

    Considering we’ve only had a breadmaker for about a month, my lot have become terrible bread snobs! At tea time last night they were talking about the bread they have had in other places recently……apparently it's nothing like the bread they get at home! I smiled and enjoyed the compliments and made a mental note not to let any of them anywhere near the breadmaker in case they find out that it does all the work, not me. :D

    Right, it's about time I made a start on the day.

    Apologies to anyone who thought they’d gained a week….and to Nelski who’d lost one…..but it is now officially the 29th of November again. :D


    Have a good day everyone! :)

  • We're £56 further in debt as the orthodontist decided DS1 still needs to wear twin blocks :( DS1 was very depressed, poor kid. I'm even more depressed as I lost the receipt as there was a chance I could have claimed back the money. Doh!

    :j I FOUND IT! I FOUND IT! :j


    It was in the middle of the lawn :confused: I saw it out of the corner of my eye as I was getting in the car to take the kids to school. I am such an idiot - it was like loosing a £50 note (whatever one of those is?) Next task is to get the forms to claim back the money. :o

    You cannot live as I have lived an not end up like me.

    Oi you lot - please :heart:GIVE BLOOD :heart: - you never know when you and yours might need it back! 67 pints so far.

    Aussie, I love the avitar! :) The only thing I've ever made with aubergine is moussaka. It's delicious but quite time consuming to make. There's a recipe here
    Penny watcher, I'm really glad you found his blocks. :T

    Morning all!

    Just in the middle of dying my hair:eek: then I'm off to work till 10pm tonight.

    DS2 was poorly yesterday - sick so he had a day off, luckily Mum was around to keep an eye on him, he's better today so gone back to school. DS1 should hopefully know about his job today!

    Hope you all have a good day!

    Hugs to all xx
