Morning :wave: :wave:

Sympathies to all you suffering with wind still:D all back to normal here

DLB sounds like the perfect result on the fence - witch must be furious. I suffered "fence wars" with a neighbour a couple of years ago and its very unpleasant - they decided they wanted a different type of fence and the way our gardens work that had a knock on effect to another 7 houses - still as long as they were happy:mad:

Off down the M6 in a bit for a lunch meet with a newish customer so at least I can say I have done something work wise this week:rolleyes:

I was pretty well behaved at the trafford centre yesterday got a gorgeous diamond necklace for my friends 50th reduced from £60 to £20 and some boots gifty sets for my pressy stock. Did have a short and productive daliance in the John Rocha section of Debs (my all time favourite for jeans!) and got a couple of "couldnt leave it" in the form of some black jeans which I can wear when I am training and a white top both significantly reduced.

Unfortunatly after my bargain hunting trip to TC I decided to call off at Costco on the way back:o Dont know what it is about this place but I always end up spending more than intended and I didnt even buy any food.

Tonight is pizza I think (its a MS job so free of charge and a fee on top:T )

Leo to go - what a self absorbed man he has become

Right best go and make myself look like a business person (jarmies and a fluffy dressing gown probably wont give the right impresssion Im thinking:D )

Have a lovely day all

Afternoon all, iv just only got round to tidying up downstairs!!As a friend call in to see us and we always end up chatting for ages!!

Council inspector has just called to apologise as they have had to put fence on hold until tuesday morning as they have a emergency call to do, a roof fell in on a council house near by and obviously that has to be done today, thought it was quite nice of him to keep me informed, i dont mind as long as it gets done.lol.

Hello all,

Havent had chance to read the thread yet, but will do later.

Have just smashed my first plate, so am going an on emergency trip to Whittards. Think Ill also look for a suit ready for my interview on Monday. Have sent off a few more letters for jobs.

Am desperately trying to get my washing machine to work - it just does what it feels like half the time!

Other than that, not much is going on here today. The weather is grey and miserable, I wish we could go somewhere. Researched a few butchers yesterday, and am popping into one on Saturday to get some rump steak.

Sidenote: Does anyone have any ideas for stopping new towels being fluffy? I bought tea towels six months ago, which have been washed numerous times on various heats (before I broke the washer!) and theyre STILL fluffy :mad: Are these tea towels destined for the bin?

Hi all

Was browsing through the indexed recipes for ideas on lunch and came across the omlettes in a bag recipe, never heard of this and since i cant make omlettes:rolleyes: thought i would give it a try.

It was a success:j i love it! ds1 had this for his lunch and he was snapping it it:T

Have washed the kitchen floor with stardrops, still to clean out fridge and put on bread.

Hugs

Afternoon everyone, been to take puppy for second jabs, so thankfully she can go out soon, so much energy for one little dog! She decided to try and fight with a dog de bordeux I think they call them in the vets, moody little tike that she is! It's about 10 times as big as her. She now weighs 8.2kg so has piled the weight on (was 5.2kg 2 weeks ago) but at least I know we're doing that right even if the toilet training is a nightmare.

Got a lot done since I have been back, especially on the clutter side of things, several bags ready for charity shop/nephew etc and those baby things are in the wash so can bag them once dry, and DP is now painting his blackboard for behind his dartboard, he's only had the paint a year and hasn't done it. Saying that a year for him to do a jobs about average. Sets of drawers took him 18 months to build!

Haven't had chance to read the rest of the thread yet but will catch up tonight, hope everyone is well

Right well I best get cracking, got a few more things to do, need to ring Open Uni aswell, paperwork for DPs course has arrived but not mine! going to go in a huff if they've messed it up again like in August meaning I have to wait again to start.

:hello: Hi everyone

Had a frustrating morning at the shops - Lidls then Tescos. Our local Tescos are stocking less and less decent food. Two shelves of 'instant' flavoured risottos (£1.50 or thereabouts a pack) and no arborio rice? And they have shrunk the baby section down to one shelf of nappies so there are no economy-size packs :mad: :mad: Just weighing up whether it's worth doing the extra miles to go to Asda.

Got the shopping done anyway! Now off to find the thread on HM Easiyo mixes to see whether I can get it to work tonight. Hopefuly I'll get the time to read this thread too!

Spiddy if the ASDA isn't close would you be able to get deliveries from there, I get mine delivered if doing an ASDA shop, using a code for either money off or free delivery from the discount codes/voucher thread on here.

I'll be honest I am changing from ASDA to Tescos for similar reasons, but every area is different.
