Good morning all,
Absolutely beautiful here again today.
DD2 loved the ham & squash gratin yesterday. Just cost 2 leeks and some cheddar for the 3 of us
Thai chicken curry for dinner tonight. There will be 8 of us and then we will babysit the DGSs.
Need to get the house and garden all spick and span. We have visitors coming on Saturday and Monday.
KMIL is one of the visitors she of the biatchy tongue and CRITICAL snidey comments!!!!!
So kitchen needs to look like a well run laboratory with nothing out of place. I must annihilate all cobwebs, dust and sticky fingermarks. It will be good for the house, which is OK but not sparkling;)

Happy Wednesday, hugs Silver x

Morning all!
I have taken a days annual leave cos this cold is making me feel dopey and miserable, just as well we had extra staff on today! Waiting on washing machine finishing, still looks a touch misty so should be a nice day, was so nice yesterday that DD stripped her bed and did all her washing and hung it out:eek: never been known before! Think it may be a day for the garden, will phone mum shortly and see if she wants to go look at plants and we can share them!Have a good day!

Morning all - today is all about picking up the camper van and packing it, then driving to Wigan. If anyone is on the A1, M62, M60, M61 and Hindley from 10.30 - 3 today - give all camper vans a wide berth - just in case its me!! Will be the biggest vehicle I've ever driven, but I like driving and I AM having a short driving lesson with the salesman before I venture out on my own. Will not be attempting reversing on my own!

What sort of campervan is it? Enjoy driving it, I confess I've never driven one but was a passenger for many a year. How I miss sitting high up and getting all the waves from other drivers Just remember you sit more over the front wheels so when going round corners just bear that in mind Have fun at any rate :j

Morning my lovelies

Looks to be another warm one here Kids were on the go non-stop again yesterday. I am shattered by the end of the day Doing very little to none housework, upstairs looks like a shed, it desperately needs a vac never mind a dust :eek: Might try and clean the kitchen today, least I can do that whilst keeping an eye on the kids.

Got a piece of beef to put in SC, no idea what's for tea again though as H doesn't eat beef <rollseyes> Still think a man this faddy about food is perfect?!!!

lowesy - hope pain eases soon xx

Bargainbird - Pics on FB of your new babies please Enjoy bird watching this afternoon :rotfl:

Hester - definately complain :eek: Hope you feel better soon x

Jools and Julie - hope colds b*gger off and you feel better soon x

OK going to nip of and whip the vac round whilst I have chance. Hugs and spoons all round. Enjoy your day OS or not.

Good Morning everyone,
another beautiful day forecast here in North Kent.I had a terrific evening last night at the British library in London saw the Gutenburg bible and the Mangna Carta and so many other things even the Beatles songwriting lyrics.Its such an interesting place that I would happily move in there for the rest of my life .If you are a book lover or have kids that are interested in books ,history ect take them along and let them see whats on offer.Its free and the staff are really helpful and all of them will happily talk about whats on show.
On the way up on the train I got talking to two chaps opposite me One was a JP and the other a vicar.They were off to a masonic meeting and they were such jolly guys (helped along a bit by a large bottle of gin and two bottles of tonic) the JP even had a tuppaware box with sliced limes and ice cube in it .First time I have ever seen two chaps come so well prepared on a train.They were great company and the vicar gave me his card and said next time I want to visit to come along to his Garrison church in Chatham and he would show me all over it .I may take him up on that .When I texted my eldest DD and told her she said 'Oh Mother only you could get tied up with a pickled vicar and a judge ' Seriously though they were very entertaining and the 50 odd minutes just flew by.I do seem to attract the strangest folk on public transport though,but its because I like to chat and I find folks lives so interesting.
Today I have now washing or ironing to da as I finished it all yesterday so I may do some baking for my DGS.I know their cookie tin wants replenishing and I think I could stretch to a nice couple of dozen small iced cakes as well.They soon vanish when the boys get to them.Well I hope everyone has a nice day and enjoys the lovely weather we have at the moment.Fingers crossed it will last until after the week-end.
Take care all
JackieO xx

Morning All

Haven't been on for a couple of days - Have been making the most of the glorious weather:D Plus DH has a week's holiday and we have been out and about.
Have got all the covers off of the sofa and chairs and one lot is on the line, another in and another two to do.
Have been itching to do them for weeks.
Think we will go and get the weekly top up today and will get all the salad stuff on Saturday.

Sad news about Elizabeth Sladen; all my fellow whovians, 63 is no age.

Well I am off to get the next lot of washing in
I hope everyone has a lovely day ((((((Hugs)))))) to all in need of one x

Good Morning All

Just a flying visit to say hello - had a late night at work last there and therefore a lie in this morning. Sun is shining beautifully already - its going to be a warm one today :j

Have done some office work, gonna go now and sort out some washing and route around in the freezer to dinner tonight. Tesco's will be turning up any minute with my shopping.

Hope you are all ok & (((hugs))) wherever needed.x

Hi. Hope everyone on here is well and good. Haven't been on for a while with one thing and another but I kind of have a moral dilemma for want of a better term. I have a Facebook account which I mostly use for playing games.I used to follow a band around a good few years back and via the FB page of one of the band members I have been spotted by another of the regulars who has emailed me and sent me a friend request.

I am not sure if I wish to accept or not as her email says I don't know if you remember me or not and unfortunately I remember her vividly.She was a bit of a bunny boiler and all round odd character.There were various stories going round about her and she was known among the fans but didnt really get along with any of them due to her being an all round oddball.I tried to be polite with her once and called at her home for her before one of the gigs and she had plastered wall to floor with pics etc which isnt bad in itself except I always got a very unnerving stalker vibe off her. She had written down on a list on the wall every time the singer (who she had a weird attachment to) had spoken to her or walked past her etc and I recall she often plonked herself in front of him and next to me in the audience and gazed at him with a glazed psycho expression which was really quite scary.

I dont like to be impolite but I dont really feel comfy that she has latched onto me again. I also treasure fb and rl friendships with several members of this band especially the singer and I dont know what they think of her and if becoming her friend will mean losing contact with them.I don't really know if I should accept or not or what to say to her if I decide not to.I don't have anything personal on FB due to previous issues with stalkers and whackos both in RL and on the net and also so I can speak freely on the net without being looked up by employers etc so I don't think my safety would be compromised if I accepted her friend request. However I love the freedom Fb and my anonimity allows me.

I know you ladies here have often shown wisdom and also a fresh perspective and wonder if you can offer me any words of advice. Many thanks.

Sunnyday

Morning peeps :wave:

just popping in to say a huge thankyou for all the birthday wishes yesterday :A

You are all wonderful peeps and it was lovely to see the good wishes even though i`ve not been around for quite a while

Life has been mad busy these last few months and i don`t get online as much as i used to, these days the garden is taking over as its that time of year again. I`ve got tomatoes, peppers, courgettes, various salad leaves, spring onions, achocha and radishes popping through and growing nicely. The onions are in and growing well and today i need to move the rest of the strawberries, repot some plants and get my carrots in all before i go to work :eek:

I`ve just had my first weekend off in months and i really enjoyed it, DH & i did a bit of shopping yesterday and had a nice walk in the woods with the woofaloes. Then it was out for tea and to the pub with some pals for the quiz night. I really enjoyed it and the weather was the icing on the cake.

Hubs and i have achieved a major goal, a few weeks ago we managed to pay off our mortgage - massive thanks to all on the MFW board for the motivation there, its been a journey full of surprises and now we can relax a bit as the job situation is all over the place. I still can`t believe that we`ve actually done it as it still doesn`t feel real. We can now start saving for the million and one jobs that need doing in and around the house.

The monsters are all fine, little black cat is still evil and is now busy watching all the insecty things in the garden, youngest houndie is still mad and by far the most entertaining houndie that we have ever had
Little oldie has had two operations on his eye to remove ulcers, he could only have a local anasthetic due to his age and heart condition but he was the most perfectly behaved little old man and is now well again. He seemed to know that he needed the procedures and now he is just fine.

I`ve got all the washing blowing gently on the line and the garden is full of flowers, the salad that i`ve made for later is in a huge bowl in the kitchen and i`m mostly organised this morning. The weather is beautiful and all is well.

Nice to see some familiar faces are still around, i do pop in every now and again for a quick read when time permits and i shall have to try and make a bit more time for this as i do miss all of you.

Keep well peeps and enjoy the gorgeous weather!

Morning all,

:bdaycake:Happy Birthday to Lamewolf have a great day sweetheart xxxx

Have just taken my car into the garage needs a new radiator, my lovely OH has come to the rescue, by giving me a radio he bought at the carboot for £15 to sell on ebay, one sold on there last week for £250 so fingers crossed.

Having a lovely week, OH and dd are both off too, and we have been out and about, (photos on FB) the weather has been glorious, and it feels like we are away on holiday its nice to spend some time as a family :T

Chow mein for dinner tonight, with a left over chicken breast, need to pop to the local shop for some cheddar, they do huge blocks in there for about £4, much cheaper than the supermarket :T

Must go OH is cleaning the conservatory roof and needs me to hold his ladder

Hugs to all in need, have fun all xx
