Morning my lovelies

Tappers it must have been a good day to give birth as it's DD's 3rd Birthday today :j One excited little girl with lots of pressies She's off to pre school in a mo whilst I rush round getting food shop and housework. I have to say though she didn't like my bunting :eek: Ungrateful whatsit :rotfl: I slaved for hours over that <rollseyes>

Tea is going to be pizza and chips for kids and a marinated chicken breast in bun with chips and salad for me and H.

Nothing else to report, best get a move on actually.

Check in later if I can. Hugs and spoons all round. Have a great day (sun is gorgeous here) OS or not.

Morning All

Happy Birthday to Taplad and Miss Bitsy!

Glorious day here so WM on already, the other load will go in when I have had a shower. This is the second week of the holidays and I feel that I am at last beginning to relax (apart from other job!). Going to strim around the garden today - I hate that strimmer, the plastic things break all the time. Dentist first though and have to get some fresh veggies for tea to go with the salmon.

Thinking of phoning HR dept at evening job, the boss of the dept has a horrible manner and whilst I can deal with her the way she speaks to some of the young girls (my DD included) is terrible. These young girls work hard and do what they should but it's never enough for her and she eventually bullies them into leaving. She only roars at them when she has an audience and doesn't listen to anything they have to say. I feel I should stick up for them as they don't have the experience or confidence to do it themselves. No wonder they don't have a good work ethic when they get older.

Anyway, off to face the world, hope everyone has a good day and the poorlies and worrieds are feeling better. Take care. XX

¡Hola!

Feliz cumpleaños Miss Bitsy, & Master Taplord

Hope DS does better this time Beemuzed

One three days left then we must start the journey, back, but true to form we are out again in the 'van next Wednesday;):o:D for a long weekend. Will just find the time to fit a much needed trip to the hairdressers in on Tuesday

Been for the physio on my arm again this morning, they certainly have a different approach to it out here, every weekday, for half an hour, various machines to ease the muscles, plus a massage (yes they found the sore spots, ouch!!), and then heat treatment. The last time I went to a physio in the UK, she stood there scratched her head, and said, oh what can we give you to do for it, suggested 2 or 3 exercises (things I had already tried), and said contact us again, if it doesn't improve!! Didn't do a thing. Two more trips before we leave,, but it will be available for me to go back to if still having problems in September.

Cloudy Day with thunder but no rain forecast for tomorrow, so will do the final blitz through of the house, and packing then, and it looks good for Wednesday to sunbathe:D and wash everything up. Just called at Lidl on the way back, and chicken breasts and thin sliced pork loin were both on offer so grabbed a couple of packs of each, one of each for the freezer for next visit. Think we may have a BBQ tonight, we were supposed to be going out with neighbours/friends both last night and tonight, but trying to calm and settle DH's tummy for the return trip, so eating at home, having nice boring, unspicy food. He has been eating loads of salads with me, but not having the bread/potatoes he normally has which I am not eating, and think he has not had enough bulk to absorb his acid production, so now he is back on it. He is very good, doesn't have anything on bread, and avoids anything he thinks might upset him (he adores cheese but now keeps to the low fat stuff and watches me eat all the flavor ones), but now and again it catches us out.

Enough time inside, now out for a read.

Take care all DG

Morning All

Gorgeous here today and I am on the fourth load of washing including 5 bath sheets that I picked up off the bathroom floor this morning :mad: cue a few choice words when DS and DD emerge from their pits.
Pelted down last night so I didn't need to water the garden and now the water butt is full again

I don't think that I can face another rhubarb crumble for a while - I ended up making 48 :eek: and didn't finish until 1 am, still it is for a good cause.

I have a lot of runners on my strawberry plants so I am going to find some pots and pop some compost in and make some new plants for next year.

Happy Birthday to taplad and little miss bitsy I hope you have fun days

Morning all, room for a returner?

Not been over here for a while but today it took my fancy, hope that is ok.

It's been a long day already here; DS3 was acting like goldilocks at breakfast, my readybrek is too hot, my readybrek is too runny, he really does put the P in pedantic that one. Then he wanted his school shorts which had only had an hour on the AGA this morning after the overnight wash so it was hairdryer to the rescue. Still he went off to school happy in the end.

Been to school for a meeting (I'm a Governor) and forgot to chat with my contact about something I had meant to so I must remember to do that when I'm back there tonight - after taking DS3 for final trumpet practice before tomorrow's grading. Eeek.

Lovely and sunny here so I'm going to strip a couple of beds and then do my meal plan for the week. The freezer needs a defrost so I'm going to try to use some bits up this week in preparation for that.

Had our first big picking of runners beans last night which were delicious, made up for the berries all finishing.

Happy Birthday for Taplad and Miss Beans I hope they both have lovely days
