Afternoon all!

*Hugs* to those who are having a bad day/start to the year. Hopefully things will start to look brighter soon.

Working hard all day today - will be about 7 before i get home. Got tons of veg in at the minute - mainly because my Mum has had to go away at short notice and dumped the entire contents of her fridge on me! Obviously thats a good thing for the buget but i also go on hols on Saturday and so need to get it all cooked/frozen asap. I'd prefer to make it into meals and then freeze. Hopefully then when we get back it wont be a mad rush to the shops and end up spending a fortune because i havent had time to plan!

Have a good day everyone!

Afternoon all. Mouth just starting to feel normal after being to dentist, suppose I have an excuse for dribbling today! I know starting to feel normal as it's hurting

Managed to resist buying anything while in town at dentist, mainly because I couldn't talk properly to ask the assistant if she had the slippers I seen in my size :rotfl: suppose I don't need them anyway but they were nice! Resisted Xmas bargains like cards etc as I really don't have the space to store them!

Been and got a trailer from freecycle, oh how I love that place, DP was on about spending £200 on one that we don't have yesterday. Posted it and got a reply in minutes! Also got rid of some things today, lovely lady came and collected them, so thats a bit less clutter.

Easy chicken curry for tea tonight, need something softish I can actually eat

Have a nice day everyone

Well mystery shop company has just phoned back and as catowen said it was just because their system had gone down and they had lost half my answers!!LOL.

I have done a huge basket of ironing, and for some reason i always feel really good when iv done it, maybe thats because i HATE ironing and feel quite proud that iv made myself do it.
Just got to go and hang it up now.

Tea smells wonderful, i must start using the SC more it just makes my day so much easier.

The 2 ill ones are not too bad, sat watching willy wonka, the original!!

Right im off to do last minute stuff before the boys are due home!

I've never managed to get anything from Freecycle, but then again I've never posted a "wanted" ad, just "offered", and responded to other people's "offered" ads. The trouble with the London group is that it's so huge that somebody else almost always gets to the item first - and my borough (Southwark) is one of the few London boroughs that doesn't have its own group. I've managed to get rid of lots of odds and ends lately - a lamp, a hoover, a large but exceedingly ugly dinner-service, my old scanner, and a big box of unopened blank cassettes from my student days when I used to tape opera broadcasts off Radio 3...

Nelski/Peem - if you don't like Ferrero Rocher - there HAS to be a way of making them into some kind of fridge cake, surely :think:

Stormybay, sorry to hear your sad news, glad to have you with us x x x x

Ageandjoe... yep.. i love the trading post, only problem being is i dont drive so i can only come about once a month, ive got some great stuff in there.

Well im back from my long walk on the beach.. boy was it windy !!! the tide was out, but the sea still looked rough.. i walked for about two hours !!! on the way home i stopped off in Iceland ( the shop that is !!! ) wow got some great bargains... all the xmas party food is reduced to half price, its taken me ages to get it all in the freezer, i had to take most things out of their boxes !! still i pushed and squeezed and got it all in. ( im good at that.. i have to do it most days to get into my clothes !!!! )
It looks like it might rain here soon, it normally waits till the kids are either comming home from school or are on their way there !!!

Did anyone watch Big Brother last night ? i dont like Leo Sayer,.... and dont get me started on how rude Jackie is !!!!!! Poor Jade,she looks so embarrased ! i think that Jade will win. Dont know who i want to win yet.
anyway .. the kettle is boiling and im off for some coffee,
take care

Hi

well after spending most of yesterday in bed I am feeling much better today, so am back in work.

Hugs to all who need them

Old style is going OK - I made bananna flapjack last night - tastes really good, (found the receipe on here somewhere) but I'm not sure it is good for my diet when I get up with the LO's at 5am!!!!

Managed to make packed lunch last night - but I think we forgot to defost the chicken for our dinner.

I didn't manage to walk across Hyde park today - as I can only just make it up the stairs with this bad chest.

Oh well - just time for my last piece of flapjack before I pack up for the day and head home

I sort of watched it. Jackiey is ... a revelation! I do find her cringeworthy, especially when she admitted to being a "clipper" in her younger days and then explained it to those who didn't understand, like she was proud of it (!!). Maybe she is, getting one over on those men, but surely for the sake of her own daughter it's not something to brag about on national TV??? Old saying: "Never air your dirty laundry in public" - obviously passed Jackiey by :rolleyes:

Leo has turned into a real whinger, which is a pity. Don't know that I agree Jade will win it, but it is lovely to see how she has "matured" since her first round a few years ago on BB

hgbels - congrats on your banana flapjacks :T Go easy on yourself if you have a bad chest! Give yourself time to recover ((hugs))

Don't know if the store/supermarket still exists, but it was called "Caters" and it was right down the far end on the right hand side. Wild days before the term "yuppy" was even invented :rotfl:

Made a huge pot of veg soup in the slow cooker which DD and DH have nearly polished off.

Other DDs will have chicken porions and potato wedges for tea.

DH took me to Lidl and have a full fridge!!!:j

Stormybay -welcome to old style and big hug.

Queenie

So sorry about your friend.

I have three mountains of ironing that I will unselfishly offer to let you exercise your arm!;)

Will pop back later as DDs need feeding soon.
