    Morning everyone,


    Tea tonight will be sausages in HM barbecue sauce with HM wedges, I made up the recipe about a month ago and it has become a firm family favourite, the kids keep asking for it and it so quick and easy.

    Hope you all have a lovely day.:)

    Morning everyone

    Bright and sunny here with a breeze, good line drying day I think. DD up and off to work but not stupid early.

    Dinner was delicious roast pork last night, roasties, cauli and broccolli cheese, carrots, green beans, peas, yorkshires and gravy and a chilled bottle of white Chardonnay. Tonight we will be having lasagne, chips/jacket potato and salad.

    Have a big list of jobs to do to do, really need to crack on with it all as trying to keep up with it all before the bank holiday next week as we're going away in the early hours of Friday morning, so I lose that day.

    DH and boys are going to cut the grass tonight, was going to do it last night then it rained. Veggies and herbs are coming along well in the garden, tonight's salad will be homegrown and freshly picked before dinner, oh get me! Potatoes are now flowering on the early early one's, so not too much longer before I'll be able to start using them.

    Need to crack on, otherwise nothing will get done.

    Not much else to say really, keep safe and well everyone, hugs to those that need them.

    Good morning everyone,
    Hope I haven't double posted. Couldn't find today's thread on new posts or forum search.

    Sun and clear sky here at the moment. Rather chilly. Need to go out in a minute to check if there has been any frost damage.

    ONE HOUR GAP
    Just had an upsetting phone call.
    My elderly mother, who has been poorly for a fortnight, has just passed away. I sat with her yesterday and she appeared to be sleeping peacefully. The last words I heard her speak were 'love you lots'.
    Got to go now x

    Morning All :wave:,

    Silver     - so sorry to hear about your Mum. Bless you xx

    Have to think of things to fill my day with today, otherwise I'll be back to climbing the walls again! I don't normally complain about not being allowed to do any housework, but the collective in this house have a fit if I'm seen doing anything other than holding an iron so needless to say I'm a little bored. Might see if I can sneak the hoover out of the cupboard without anyone noticing :rotfl:

    Lovely and sunny here today so might go for a waddle, see if that helps bubba shuffle back down.

    Have a nice day OS or otherwise, hugs to all in need/want xx
