    Hester, hope all is well for you all!xx
    Busy weekend here, shopping, washing, drying, cooking, not much ironing done, couldn't face it as am all bunged up, can't figure out if its another flipping cold or hayfever! Have done DS's clothes for his interview tomorrow, he informs me he's going on the train but hasn't looked into what train from/to where, think I might be going to college tomorrow to make sure he makes it in one piece, kids are such a joy when they hit teenage years!

    Hester thinking of you and your family

    and you uolypool - it must be very stressful

    - we bought our boys their first big boy bikes yesterday and have spent a couple of hours yesterday and today in car parks so they can practice. 25 miles is fantasy level at the moment, but something we very much look forward to.

    Unplanned trip out means I have a bloomer on an unplanned third rise. Be interesting to see what the end result is given that I made it last night, so it had an overnight first rise, a six hour second rise, and now a couple of hours for the third.

    Hi All
    Sunshine Bear, please don't worry about your comment, I'm glad you had a lovely ride, 25.86 miles!!!
    Anyone on here who knows me will tell you that my inlaws lurch from crisis to disaster time & time again. BIL is now in HDU, he came round briefly, recognised his son & then went back to sleep, hubby is going to the hospital tomorrow or Tuesday.
    Hugs Hester

    Hester - lots of get well vibes for your BIL xx

    Sorry to read and run, try and check in properly tomorrow. Enjoy sunday everyone x

    ...Searching for colours to do the kitchen , atm its light green walls with beiges cupboards, I cant afford to change the cupboard doors Would like to do something to the doors as the are just plain beige (council)with silver colour handles.So will be searching to see what other peoples kitchens are like.Not being nosy of course;)
    ...

    I had a similar colour kitchen (housing association!) with silver handles...it's first colour was a warm, but not too deep, sunshine yellow, but I wanted to change it to a sort of pale corally colour, the same shade that the sky turns in a sunset...would that go in your kitchen? Mine was east facing, so morning sunshine and I wanted something warmish.

    Evening all

    HH - hope BIL improves

    Busy day - uni work, popped to Lidl and Aldi for fresh stuff, took car to car wash (it was so dirty I opted for the automatic one rather than the handwash guy!! :o ), more uni work, then went to cinema to see Limitless (mmm Bradley Cooper!! :happyhear ).

    Also did 2 loads in WM, hoovered, tidied and wiped kitchen over.

    Night all

    ps

    cinema set my vertigo off :( the film has lots of fast moving sequences so think that's why
