    Wow Souk - a freezer AND a breadmaker.:j

    MY money is you being the most glamourous Old Styler in the country:rotfl:

    Up this morning to discover that my digital receiver has given up the ghost - typical, having bought a TV licence on the 1st, I now have no tv:eek:. DS2's watching Mary Poppins now however.

    I will go out to the Charity Project later an see if they have a reconditioned one - if not, hey ho!!! to Argos we go I think.

    My garden seems to have taken a leap upwards overnight - its amazing what a bit of warmth can do:D. Mid you its pretty cool this mornign but I shal get out and water soon.

    My Frogs for today?

    A writing excercise to finish for one of the mentors that I started last night and has had me buzzing ever since.

    Two short articles for a friends blog need typing up and editing.

    Quick tidy of my storecupboard as my AF order arrives tomorrow morning and it's easier to stocktake when everything is lined up neatly.

    But first .................. coffee:T

    Erm - nope!!!!! :D

    When everyone else was fancying Mark Hamill in Star Wars I fell for the twinkle in Han Solo's eyes....................... first crushes and all :rotfl::rotfl:

    For some reason I find Mark Hamill......well a bit creepy looking :o
    PS I also find Cary Grant seriously seriously dreamy - even though I know he, well you know?:D

    You know what???? He didn't play for t'other side......that would be Rock Hudson......who I am sorry to say I definately thought was dreamy :)

    Well I should be hung over considering the amount of alcohol I consumed last night but perhaps I just haven't got round to sobering up yet :rotfl: it was my neighbours 40th birthday and she had a party, put up a gazebo and tea lights round the garden and it was freeeeeeeeeeeezing out there, especially in a thin posh frock. But the best bits about living next door is I can put one small person to bed, get changed into my jeans and then head back round for more drinky poos :T Children were left in the care of my H I might add, next door or not I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving them in the house on their own :eek:

    So I think plans for today when H drags himself out of the pit that is our bedroom is to take the tent back, petrol costs or not we could get the cooker with the money we'd save. Then order the one from ebay and start work on tidying up the house. I am dreading the 6 week holiday as I've got no housework done this half term with kids being here all day :eek:

    Anyway time for another coffee (to combat the dehydration of course ;)) and some brekkie I think. Have a great Sunday and hope it's not too cool and windy where you are.


    ETA:

    Claire the bag looks great, well done you :)

    Up and at 'em - well up and managed to get a brew down me so far. Dh has dragged kids out to car boot so peace reigns and I must get on with school reports. Positive planning and report writing vibes needed please as my motivation is seriously lacking - am even tempted by housework when report writing comes round!

    Got to go to church for an awards thing for the kids holiday club so that will take up some time and give me a break but also means I have to work faster to get them done - is going to be a busy old week held together by lucozade!

    Souk, this is great. Now you can have quality bread at small part of the cost. And you will know what is in it.

    Wow thats so funny - I was just in the garden watering the plants when I remembered I had to respond - came in for a cuppa, responded then popped on here to see you had beaten me to it.

    I thought I only did stuff like that wih MrF - I have had a run of thinking of him and having him phone me a few miutes later. I joke that it's very MSE because it's saving my phone bill. :D

    Well it was weigh day today .......... and TADAAAAAA!!! I have met my first 5lb target. I really didn't think I would because I have had three weeks sticking to the same weight and now it has gone.:j

    Mind you I think my visitors will be doing some headscratching because they have seem how well (and how much) we eat, but it is generally good and healthy stuff.

    So my next target is to lose 6lbs to get me down to the next stone bracket - but gently does it.

    I have also been into my purse to look at my receipts for last week. I had allocated £20 for random spends when my visitors were here from my "because I am worth it fund". Was under so don' have to allocate any of my Food Game money to it this week - and we had Lidl / Aldi cornettos twice and home made strawberry yogurt too so we didn't really skimp.

    But because of great company, ice-cream, wine and some sunshine I actually feel like I have a Summer Holiday and feel ready to knuckle down and do some work next week.

    Off to update my signature and then finish watering the garden.

    MG - Just wondering if the receiver could need re tuning due to digital switch over? I got up the other day and the tv had no channels, got a set top box and now I have more channels than I had previously. Was a bit confused, didn't realize you still need an ariel for digital, but at least it only cost me a little bit of money to get it sorted.
