It is p***ing down with rain again and its cold. Burn is up to the bottom of the bridge, and the hound STILL wants to go for a walk. Deep joy. Definitely comfort food this evening - Chicken and mushroom mustard mash.
Really CBA this morning. Feel like starting the hibernating cycle. Its ridiculous, its August for goodness sake. I can't even watch morning tv as the rain is so hard there is no signal. Grump grump.
OK. Enough feeling sorry for myself. Lets shop - I now need a new kitchen floor after lead melted all over it by OH last night. His money. Tee hee hee.GC Mar 13 £47.36/£1500 -

Afternoon all,
Had a nice evening out with wedding party....home by midnight so not too late.
Dull here and has been raining overnight, need to do a towel wash and hate to have them dry inside...have put some washing out already and don't care when it dries.
Not being MS at all this week, meeting DD4 and DGS 2 for lunch, need to cook meat in fridge when I get back....not sure what I will do with it when its cooked, as freezer is chock a block...we'll see, maybe DD4 would store some in her freezer.
Hugs to all, enjoy your day, back later I hope

Hi Everyone,
Dull and grey today. Rain forecast but not arrived here yet, tho' we could really do with some.
Had a plea from a church in Tottenham where they are helping victims of the rioting. They wanted underwear, towels and baby stuff. No babies here but unloaded the airing cupboard and liberated a lot of towels ( we tend to use just the top few of the pile), my late Dad's new underwear and pyjamas (from which I have at last finished removing the name tags). Just glad to be able to help a bit.
Bought 12 sausages for £1.00 on Monday. Tues we had sausages, potato bake, grilled tomatoes and baked beans. Wed: sausages, new potatoes, runner beans and carrots. Today: sausages, yesterday's left over potatoes sauteed and salad. All veg and salad came from the garden, so with the addition of a few bits from the store cupboard that was 3 days main meals for the two of us for the princely sum of £1.00.
Am feeling very smug.
Lou: sorry I missed your birthday. Hope it was good.I believe that friends are quiet angels
