Catowen -just noticed your post about the childminder's group.

Don't take this the wrong way - but I'm glad someone else doesn't like going to new groups etc. I always feel I'm the only one in the world who can't do this (like I was off sick the day they taught this skill at school, or something)

You've inspired me to keep going. In some ways it'd be easier if I could just sit in the corner by myself - but that's not really an option. I'm not a complete wally!

I like my corner all to myself - I watch the mums in the playground chatting away and wonder how they do it - I stand on the outskirts and watch.....I'm very happy in my own company though and love being at home so maybe that's it - maybe I put up a defensive barrier to guard people off.....who knows.

Virtual friendships are much easier - can't see the state of the kitchen either!

This is the one with the steamer - still there it seems

And things do stick a bit but no more than you'd expect in a stainless steel pan. You just need to scour them if you manage to burn anything on.

Good afternoon all - hope we are well

Stefejb hope your DD's ear is ok, I know how she feels, but she must be in worst pain than me, Ive only been suffering with an ear infection since Sept, Ive got to go and see the nurse next week, to flush it out, yuk!

Mrs-Mix -hope your DD is fit soon.

Well Chicken pox & Shingles - Hope Mr DLB is better soon, & PP, Hope you both dont get too much pain

Its cold, windy and raining here, very miserable indeed, I have to fetch kids in a while from school, then make the effort to go into town and sort this council court business out.

Im slowly going thru rest of the thread, so forgive me, if Ive missed anyone.
Take care for now
And catch you later
love as usual xxx

Very true Pooky! Glad you can't all see my kitchen - though today it's relatively spic and span.

Off to brave the playground - need to dig DD out of bed, shove her in her buggy and then see what DS is going to moan about tonight. He'll be tired from his first day back so there'll be something I've done wrong. MEN - never satisfied even at 4 1/2:rotfl: :rolleyes:

Just a quickie from work (first day back).

dlb - sorry to hear about the dreaded pox etc. I know someone who had adult chickenpox and wasn't too bad. The doctor says there are different strains of the virus (just like colds) and things can manifest differently depending on what strain. When kids were wee the type they had was that as it passed from one child to next in family each case was worse. This certainly was the case with my two.

Valentine - hope scan goes really well.

Best wishes to everyone else.

afternoon all

sorry to hear about all of you who are unwell hopefully you will all be back to your normal selves before too long

sarahmoon i am reading all of my weight watchers books once i come off here as i weighed myself this morning and i have at least 7 stones to loose-was planning on waiting till i come back from hols at end of the month before restarting the good old ww wagon but the time to act is now- we could buddy up if you fancy it?

re the robert dyas pots -ive just bought some new pots for us and i read a lot of reviews on them all and these ones had mixed reports i ended up going with the cooks essentials ones from QVC which i got when they were a todays special value think they were about £50 and they are good solid pots albeit a bit on the heavy side

ive been good today-energy reserves now depleted though
ive managed to
-hoover living room and hall
-tidy and clean all kitchen cupboards
-wash all the nooks and crannies of dishwasher and washing machine
-list all of freezer and cupboard stuff
-meal plan for the next week
-get on here during the day lol


ok i was suppose to be ironing but that can wait until tomorrow

all the best to those out there in virtual land

Hello all,

Back at work today for first time after christmas and putting off tackling the in-box.

Catowen- and others who said the same- so glad to hear there are others out there who think this too! I moved to a new town a couple of years ago and well meaning friends and family kept telling me to join various clubs and societies to meet new people but eek! couldn't force myself to start chatting to new ppl and spent far too much time in the corner!

Started a post-holidays detox today but already regretting it, think I will be gnawing the table soon!!

Well wishes to all of those who are ill... why does it always seem to come around after a holiday or break from work/school??

UGH!!! I have just had to throw quite a lot of food out, because its out of date. Namely, 2 x 1.2kg packs of chicken drumsticks and 600g mince. I am such an idiot. It only went out of date yesterday, but the chicken stinks, so in the bin it goes. I know what happened - last time I went shopping, I bought quite a lot of food, and the chicken I thought I would put one pack in the freezer - got home, the damn thing was full, so I figured we would just have to eat it all a bit quicker. Didnt happen, instead I just left it and it rotted in the fridge. I will not make this mistake again. Oh, for a freezer thats bigger than a shoebox.

We all (DH and four DDs) went to a memorial service this morning for my father at the hospice and it was very comforting.

Will make a chilli with rice for tonight and am typing this in the library.

PP Sorry you have shingles and hope it gets better soon.

Best wishes to all those with poorly men and children.
