  • Thank you Pep Pop and Cheap date I have been feeling a bit sorry for myself, but there are people with far worse things to deal with, its just good to off load every now and again.

    Right, veggie lasagne in the oven, just stewing some apples for pud.

    Off to get washing off line, didn't rain luckily.

    Then a HHI, anyone else joining me?

    Thanks again for your kind words :)

    Part of the Furniture 10,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Good evening :beer: I've finished my working week, and am shattered :o The effects of the Government cuts are really staring to bite here :mad: and we have more and more people needing CAB services :o

    Ho hum - 5 days off and the forecast is sunny :j:j:j
    DH is away so the whole bed to myself, I know it is mean but I love having the bed to myself.

    I'm enjoying having the bed to myself and sleeping diagonally :D You and yours are in my thoughts :A

    I've made HM pesto for tea, with pasta and HG leaves. I've treated myself to a small glass of red with dinner, and have promised DS a snifter of something when we settle down with the Apprentices later :T

    Going to do a quick browse, then a tidy before I drop for the evening.

    I've done the downstairs loo very properly indeed and tidied the hall. But mostly I've spent the afternoon doing the quilting bit on my quilt which is due to be given to little sis on the occasion of her wedding on friday:eek::eek::eek::eek: did half - should get the rest done tonight if all goes well! Got a mad day tomorrow as I need to finish the rest of the cake decorating tasks, go to icing world again and get us all packed up ready to leave tomorrow evening.

    Once boy is asleep (NAK!) I'll get some mince on for bolognese for our tea, get the nappies in the WM, get nursery bags all done, then I've got ironing to do, tea to eat:D, then crack on with the quilt. I'm dreading this last bit of slog on it - my right hand is numb and tingling still from the vibrations and weight of manipulating it through the machine:(
