    Good morning everyone,

    Grey and cool here.

    Dinner will be cottage pie for all 8 of us. DD1 is the main cook for this - no work today so I am her kitchen maid and chief spud peeler :)

    Nic so glad you're OK. How scary:(

    Well done on finishing the dress HH, looking forward to seeing it.

    Happy Wednesday peeps. Hugs to those in need or want.
    Cheers, Silver x

    Morning All,

    Not posting much at the moment but I am trying to keep up with the thread.
    Lou congratulations I am so excited for you, put your DH's horrible rellies out of your mind they are so not worth it, just look after yourself and enjoy your pregnancy. I was sick with all of the mine, but it seemed to stop at 12wks with each one.
    HH well done on the dress, we definitely need pics:D
    Nic oh gosh, how scary, just glad they didn't get in. Think the dog deserves a special bone today

    Took our youngest out for tea last night and had a long talk about how important his exams are and how he needs to keep this girl at arms length and how we are going to Australia next year etc etc, he seems to get it, fingers crossed things will get better.

    Will probably be pork curry tonight. Need to have some ns days so will potter at home today.
    Strange weather here as well, one minute its raining and next its glorious sunshine, wish it would settle down just a few weeks of sunshine would be good.
    Really need to have a good sort out of my wardrobe, so many things in there that don't fit or I never wear. Its so full I can't see what I've got, will take some stuff to the charity shop

    Have a good day all J x

    Morning All

    Nic (((((((((Hugs)))))))))
    Hester..... Well done on the dress :T

    Nice this morning and I have risked putting some washing on the line but it is forcast rain later.

    Plans for today are to blitz the kids rooms......and if they scream at me about privacy I will just throw all their stuff out of the window....I am sick to death of the lazy little burgers. :mad:

    I also have to repot some tomatoes they are growing fast now.
    At least I don't have to buy lettuce for a while :D I have lots (iceberg and lolo rosso) and have just sown some more seeds as well, the cucumbers are doing nicely too.

    Well I am off to get the bin bags and marigolds ready

    have good days all x
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    Morning everyone,

    Hester, can't wait to see the dress.
    Nic, how awful, hope you are not too shaken up.

    It is a lovely morning here but it has obviously rained a lot in the night as the garden is really damp, so I don't need to water.

    Today is hopefully a quieter day all round as yesterday I never seemed to stop.
    I am hoping to get some batch cooking done tonight as I am all out of meals that the children can just grab before going off to their various sports clubs, we only seem to manage to eat together at weekends in the summer.

    Tea tonight is something quick like stir fry as I have some salmon to use up.

    Have a good day everyone.:)

    Nic That is awful to go through! At least the police responded and didn't just turn up 2 days later and give you a crime number!
    BTW, amazing weight loss!!!

    NicLou - how awful for you. Good old doggy did his job though so give him a huge hug from me x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Morning all.

    Well yesterday I made my first loaf in the Panni, wow I was so chuffed, DH took a photo of me holding it and I even got my neighbour round who is a great baker to look at it - how mad is that. It was perfect and tasted great, had the 3 kids all lined up for a slice. Will be making another today!

    It's grey here today, so paperwork day for me.

    Roast chicken for tea tonight.

    Post has just come and my Dukan diet book is here - that can go on hold a bit now I have the breadmaker lol
