    Hello everybody from a windy and showering Rage-land :hello: Just a quick post as I have to go and mentally prepare for 90 mins of torture (being a City fan).....Done all the shopping this morning - mostly fresh produce. Mince out of the freezer defrosting for Eurovision Night Chilli - can't wait. I love all the total bonkerness of it all....Bosnia with a lute? Moldovan gnomes?, Jedward ? and then some people being all serious with opera and "top acts" etc.... Let's face it the days of Sandie Shaw are long gone and it's now an excuse to out barking your Euro neighbours.....and of course play Eurovision Bingo.....:D As long as you go into it with the total realisation that we are never going to win again until we send either Justin Bieber, Hannah Montana or even GaGa herself it's a fun night LOL! Got my post from the IVF place in Harley Street as well this monring - wow it's a massive brochure LOL! MIght save that for tomorrow as today although I feel okay "mood"-wise I'm really feeling rough physically - I can only put it down to the fact that I have stopped having all the hormone injections and they're leaving my system....and my back is so far reasonably okay..... Been to the library and got a CSI novel to read in the bath and plan to do nothing for the rest of the weekend apart from finishing putting the gate on at the other house and buying some more tiles for the kitchen. Hope everyone has a nice OS day and hugs to anyone who needs one!
    But I'm going to say this once, and once only, Gene. Stay out of Camberwick Green :D

    hi everyone

    Lazy start to the day, was up late and finished my book, well HW can always wait :rotfl:

    DW and WM and TD have been on, gammon joint in the SC. Apart from that I have been spraying things gold, its my cousins golden wedding anv this year and they are having a garden party (hope the weather is kind) I have a group photo of their wedding (got from my mum and dad as I was only 5 at the time) they do not have this photo so am printing it out and putting in a frame which I have sprayed, also doing them a pot of gold, found a dish I don't use so that has been sprayed gold too.

    Am also watching on and off the cup final...come on Stoke!

    Well WM has finished so I should go sort it out, half time on the football so have no excuse :rotfl:

    Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the day, ((hugs)) to poorlies and sorelies xxxx

    Evening All

    Had a baking day today and made 48 twinks, a mandarin sponge (from the dinner lady book) and I have just cleared up the dinner things - it was a quick egg and chips tonight because we all love Doctor Who as well, straight after that we will be off out to see Thor at the cinema because we can't stand the ESC either and I found £50 in a handbag that I haven't used in ages today so that will pay for it :D tight month or not it will do us good to have a treat :j
    LouLou sorry to hear that your littley is poorly is he teething?
    My two got terrible rashes when they were teething so I used to give them barley water and used kamilosan ointment which is a camomile based cream and it helped them a lot .

    Well I am off to get ready have a good evening everyone x
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
