_party_ It's Friday!!!!!!

Darling Step Son (DSS?) is coming for the weekend tonight and his friend is coming for the weekend too. The friend is a lovely lad with one small flaw - he will ONLY eat sausages! Guess what we're having over the weekend?! (Sunday lunch could be interesting...)

Work today then shopping tonight - very OS with only £17 in the bank. Good thing we have sausages in the freezer!

Packed lunches made for DH & me so just need to run the hoover around before I go to work this morning.

Had a suspicious bid on one of my eBay items as it was a totally new eBay user with no feedback and a really high bid amount. I emailed them yesterday asking them what payment method they would be using if they won and no reply so I took the plunge and cancelled the bid - only to find out that they'd actually bid up to £900!! :eek: So obviously a total and utter time waster who could have cost me a legitimate sale - why do people do that?? :mad:

Meal planning this weekend too - I used to do this but let it slip.

Catch you all later. ((Hugs)) to all that need them.

Good morning to all, only a quick one from me atm will come back and catch up / update later.
I have to spread myself thinly today, ds1 has his leavers ceramony at 9.30-11 , ds2 has his 11.30- 12.30 and ds3 has his 1-2.30:eek: all in different parts of town.
Am actually really sad as ds3 year group are so nice , I have known a lot of them since they started school.He has a leavers party at a friends house tonight to go to .I think today is going to be a very emotional one for everyone involved, feel a bit choaked up as I type, daft woman;)
So am off to jump in the shower, ok jump is a slight exaggeration.
Will be back later have a lovely day

Good morning all.

Just lost a huge post :mad:

OK, grey and cool here but rain is not forecast so will chance pegging it out on the line.

Need to blitz the house today as DS & family are coming for a visit tomorrow:j It will be the first time I've seen him since his granny passed away, so it will probably be a bit emotional.

Normal schoolday Friday here, so DD1 & family will eat with us. Dinner will be our normal Indian:
Chicken Tikka; Beef Rogan; Saag Aloo; Lentil Dahl; Black-eyed beans & Mushrooms. Will have hg spinach and salad leaves.

Thanks again for all the kind words and support. I was apprehensive going in to work yesterday, but it went fine. No waterworks It was a little difficult accepting everyone's condolences, but that hurdle is now passed.

Happy Friday folks, hugs to everyone who needs or wants - particularly Annie x x
Cheers, Silver x

Morning my lovelies

Pics of bag


with inner pocket for my moby

I am chuffed to bits with it Going to make a flower embellishment I think this afternoon for it. I took the pattern for it from this blog and I love the fact there is no hemming required. Most of it is all stitched inside out and then turned. I did have to unpick a couple of things and I didn't twig that you sew up the body of the bag and the lining separately and then put them together later but it's all good practice Considering I was drooling over a £40 Cath Kidston bag a friend has I am quite happy with my £3 HM version

No major plans this morning apart from more washing (which I neglected yesterday but was too wet to dry outside anyway, that's my excuse ). Tea should be chicken chow mein.

Redruby - Positive healing vibes for your dad xx hope he's OK xx

Hugs and spoons all round. Have a great day OS or not.

PS. Catwatch - she's having her jaw wired today so fingers crossed that goes well.

Bitsy I loooove your bag
How clever are you????? I am off to do my house insurance and will bookmark the blog page so that I can make one for my dd1 as a surprise. Think I will use one of her fave t-shirts that are too small and make it as a surprise.

Mo.rning all,

It rained so much last night, there are still huge puddles on all the roads, I had to leap out of the way several times as cars nearly soaked me on the way to work. I have still pegged the washing out though!

Last day at work before half term, a lot of my pupils are leaving today, some of whom I have taught for 7 years, it is a bit emotional but I am sure that they will go on to great things.

Good luck to all taking exams today and hugs to Anniestar.

Will pop back later when things have calmed down.

Have a lovely day everyone.:)

Have a lovely day everyone

Morning all.....
tempreture today is predicted to reach 43 degrees so I dont think we will be venturing too far from the air conditioning today! A bit of a slow start but summer is offically here to stay until the end of october..........I wish you all could send me some rain!

Got a bit of a shock yesterday and really need to sit down and see how much we are spending on Groceries each month. I went to the nearest town[ 45 mins drive away] to do a big shop after not seeing the inside of a supermarket for a month....I spent just over 1500 shekels and stocked up on dry,tinned,cleaning stuff ect ....thats with no meat as this week I had a meat delivery of 1000 shekels and then we usually spend 1500-2000 shekels in the local shop in the community where we live.....so thats a total of 4500 shekels at around 6 to the pound =750 pounds!

Most of the time its just me and hubby with ds19 in the army coming home every two weeks and 2 daughters visiting every few weeks.
The weekends when ds is home I never hold back...meat beer and treats and basically whatever he wants, I also send him back to the army with snacks, homemade cakes, tins of tuna and other extras to supplement his food there... I also put aside stuff for girls when I see special offers as one is a student and the other working for minimum wage in the city..
Well now its written down in black and white that makes it real and I am definatly going to watch what I buy this month....

Happy weekend everyone...hugs and spoons to those that need them....S
