    Afternoon all

    Late today because we have had no internet access again today that is the second time in two weeks o2's server has gone down.smiley-angry002.gif

    DH went in to work this morning and found out that some b*d had been in the grounds overnight and stripped the cherry tree bare smiley-angry002.gifsmiley-angry002.gif don't know if the cameras have picked them up or not, so we will have to wait for head to check the hard drive tomorrow. It makes me so mad that is just pure greed smiley-angry002.gif

    Tru .....Way to go girl boxer.gif keep sticking your heels in, it is all too easy for others in the household to assume that if you are home all day they are entitled to use you as a slave.

    Shopping tomorrow so I want to get some more gammon steaks, stewing beef and peppers from Aldi before the price goes up on Sunday.

    We are going foraging on Saturday to see what we can find.

    Well I am off to get dinner on salad, jacket potato and gammon steaks tonight.

    Eveening,

    been at work all day, went to MILs after to photograph some stuff she wants ebaying and putting on Gumtree. Anyone want a knitting machine circa 1975? Its in fantastic condition, I wish I had taken it off her hands all those years ago when she was trying to force it onto me, I hope she gets a decent price for it, and doesn't have to give it away for pennies.

    Anyhow, BIL didn't get his chemo today, which is quite upsetting and worrying, I haven't had a chance to speak to my sis since I left work, so I am hoping that he is at or in the hospital getting sorted out. :(

    Plan for the evening is to sit outside and relax with my lovely husband. Those of you on Facebook already know he's in the good books as he put the diesel in the car for me today. :) I hate that job, what a star he is!

    Redruby, my MIL is reading the book atm (I didn't even remember giving her it) and I will send it on its way when she's done.

    Hope you are all having a lovely evening.

    Jackie xxx

    PS its SCORCHING here :j:j:j

    Sistercas - thats terrible, his poor family, and poor kid for feeling that way. I hope DD2 is okay.

    I worked early and late tonight, but thats a nice bit of O/T for my piggy bank. OH is working till about 10ish and has pup so i'm on my lonesome.

    Don't know what we are doing for dinner, I had some l/o sausages after work so that will keep me filled up for a while and will just have something light later. Need ot make OH a pasta salad for his lunch and bake a jacket potato for mine.
