Good afternoon everyone,

Mushy Peas - (((HUGS))) i had my purse stolen from Drakes Circus last year, and its horrible xxx

Aussie - good luck with the move, hope its gone well xxx

Well, im back from the hospital, and excellent news, my level was 59 and i dont have to go back for 4 months!!!!! Its still not a good level (a low level in the 'normal range' is 180) but its very good for me, so im well chuffed with myself!!!!
Took ages to get there, mind you, the traffic was horrendous this morning (an accident on the A38) so i was late for my appointment, but never mind, i still had time to pop into Mr Ts before picking up little one, and managed to only spend £25 (normally £35 on my weekly shop) so that was good too. Mind you, ive celebrated my level with a jam doughnut, not a good idea really, as my diet doesnt seem to be working (not sure why, im being so careful with what im eating and drinking) but hey, its only one and i will be good from now on.

Right, going to do something constructive whilst little one is asleep, stew already for dinner tonight in the SC, so planning on hitting a hot spot!!!!
Have a lovely afternoon, (((HUGS))) to all the poorly people xxx
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Have washing on the line outside- dishes have been done - a dozen home made rolls are ready to bake in oven and a home made french loaf is rising ready to bake later.

Still have soup and chicken casserrole left over from yesterday so will have that with fresh bread or rolls tonight.

Hugs to those who are poorly.

Hi everyone!
Hello to all the newbies and hugs to those who need them!!
I've woken up as a right old grumpy trout today [think it's the jolly old PMT] so have consequently had a rubbish morning at work and the techology has been playing me up something chronic. Fortunately my colleagues are so lovely they sent me to the office to stroke their gorgeous collie dog and have a cup of tea. Feeling much happier now!!
Some good news..OH rang to say we've won £50 on the premium bonds. Hurrah!
OS will be limited today to basics although I have cleaned the bathroom and tidied the house so it looks respectable. Will need to turn out to collect the small person plus friend from Cubs this evening but other than that I'm going to be kind to myself and take it easy with a glass of red and some cross stitch and perhaps BB if they're not being too vile to one another!
Hope you're all having a good day!

Scuzz - I've been hearing about Eragon, although the reader is 10. So you recommens it for adults too? I need a new book.

Yes definitely recommend it for adults. If you like fantasy and adventure I give it two thumbs way up!

Hiya all

Thanks for hugs and support. What a good idea about keys BR, I'll have to look into doing that. Bad news, as I'm between houses I have no contents insurance (for first time in 8 years!) so I can't claim for bag and contents. Boo I think it adds up to over £500 if you look at new for old!

Just so any Londoners are aware, that pub it was stolen from is the Shakespeare's Head near Holborn.

Right, I need to write a shopping list....starting with a new wallet!

Take care all

Think I need to do this, but not sure how to work out the best arrangement.
Scared I'll just make it worse :eek:

Just go for it! I'm on a well deserved lunch stop. Nearly done now and if nothing else I've had a really good declutter of utensils and won't-ever-be-used food!:o I'd say be prepared to think outside the box. Sometimes things will be better grouped on size rather than type iyswim. The worse that can happen is you have to put it all back where it started:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: (for me wild horses couldn't make me admit it ,IF I've made a mistake! Couldn't let DH and DSs know I had lost the plot:D )

dlb glad the work on the fence is going OK:D That was a big part of checking in now, I'm nosy! Shame about your grass though, any chance the council might put that right for you later when the weather improves?

Aussie, good luck for tomorrow! Hours of fun unpacking all those boxes of delights!:D

Mushy Peas sorry about your bag. That's a horrible thing to happen. I hope it wasn't stolen from you physically, ( I mean actually grabbed from you in person). You seem to have thought of everything, re cancelling cards etc.


Think it's time I got back to it.

Bye, CMx

Back from shops and got some good bargains (Boots gifts all 75% off now, so a few more put back for birthdays!) and freebies (little Bounty bag in ELC with two cans of Red Bull, a mini Sudocrem and some other little sachets etc, plus two free soaps at Lush ). Unfortunately I couldn't put my Boots shop on Advantage points as for some reason it wouldn't go through the till, so I am adding it to my grocery total as it was stuff I would normally get at Tesco.

DS1 being a PITA and I burnt the onion for my soup but made it anyway, was OK. Got to tidy up now.

Never say you burnt the onions - you "caramelised" them! lol;)
