evening!

Hopefully Im posting as myself now!

Well I did Jamie Olivers Lemon Drizzle Cake - Tastes nice, but i thought it would rise abit more - not sure if it was meant to by the way the angle of the picture in the book? nevermind.

Also had a go at Rosemary Conley lowfat cheesecake, which is "setting" in the fridge now - doesnt look bad at all!:D gonna decorate with kiwi or strawberries tomorrow!
Kept DH busy with all the washing up in between!:rotfl:

Snow has melted completely now, must to DS2 dismay!

((hugs)) to Queenie, hope u pick up soon x
((hugs)) to gingin, sounded a lovely service x
((hugs)) dlb, hope all goeswell with yr dh talk, & I understand how you feel about when someone else sounds like everything is "hunkydory" - it does make you feel down doesnt it?
Catowen - paracetamol is no good for me at those times - i have to use nurofen!!!
jellycat - v.pleased about yr job and the extra money, lovely!!
scuzz - hope yr mum is ok, and fingers crossed for the job!
twink - was thinking of you last nite as I watched "Local Hero" on tv, set up in scotland! can you see the aurora borealis??

bargainrzl - which is yr local store that doesnt have the table in stock? I checked lakeside thts out of stock too - but edmonton has it - I dont mind getting picking up one for you - dh says it will go in the car ok. Youre not far from me so wont be a problem.

Evening all,
We've had no snow here at all, apart from a few flakes at dinnertime - my nursery group didn't get to see it though!

Thanks for the thoughts Twink, phoned today - didn't know whether to wish nephew happy birthday or offer condolences - he wasn't there - so that solved that one - but apparently his birthday has taken his mind off other things, so far so good.

Congrats MSE Andrea x

Well done Jellycat on getting through your first day at work xx

(((hugs))) to anyone who needs or wants one.

Have had a lovely piece of lamb for tea (bargain at £4.00) but kitchen is now a state - must get off and get it sorted.

DH no longer moans at me being on MSE - think he must be getting used to me attaching myself to the comp at any spare moment!

Have a good evening all and I hope we have snow tonight! bb xxx

Shez you are a COMPLETE AND UTTER STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My nearest store is the Croydon one - which is also the easiest one for me to get things from, as my father's partner lives near there and he often comes over here in the car from there.

Will reimburse you in cash, including for petrol, and will ask you round here to join me for some drinks! (then you can have a nosey at the flat as well )

:A :A :A

edit: just realised I forgot to say the actual words...

"THANK YOU"

Evening all!

I am tired again and my hands are freezing!! I really should put my gloves on, but shall be cooking in a mo! We're having my bbq chicken speciality... basically it's chicken in bbq sauce, with bacon and sweetcorn in the sauce too, and we usually have it served with rice/potato wedges and veggies. Tis yum. Been using bbq sauce from the jar, but we are eager to make our own so will have to pop to the shop after work tomorrow to pick out any ingredients we might not have in our cupboads!

Work was tiring today but as the teacher I'm covering for had no lessons this afternoon, I got to go home early. When I got home I finished off the latest jewellery order I've had in (my first £30 one!) and just chilled out with OH as he had today off work.

I had to turn down a party for the weekend today too. I'm already doing one on Saturday, but can't do Sunday as it's my Grandads birthday- the first since we lost him in the summer (very unexpectedly, he was 70), so obviously OH and I want to be with my Nan then. Because all the other girls are working, the party had to be cancelled. I know there's nothing I can do with it, but I feel so bad for letting a little kid down! Humpf!

I have 2 Doctors appointments for next week... one for counselling (finally!!) and one for a check up on my meds... going to push to see how long I'm going to have to wait to see the specialists at Haywards Heath... I've not even seen a Rheum since I was diagnosed with FMS a year ago, makes me sick! Looked into private health insurance, but hey guess what? FMS isn't covered! Blah. So it's the NHS or nothing for me!

Had better get that cooking done... going to try again for an early night... so tired!

Queenie you didn't????? LMAO here. You go girl!!!

The dishwasher is loaded, kitchen is cleaned. lunches made, DD's clean underwear brought down to go with her uniform. Two shirts ironed and the recycling taken out. DS is just going in for a bath and the living room is reasonably tidy so I am heading off to bed as soon as DS's bed time arrives. Then I have to take the laundry upstairs and put it away before I can dive into my nice comfy bed. I may take a hot water bottle tonight as my toes were freezing yesterday.

Shez

Twink I saw these once with my Dad from my back garden when I was a teenager. No one has ever believed me

Tru, thanks, I'll try it, but has had windows installed again so unsure if it will work.

Still trying to catch up, had a rolls disaster, put them in airing cupboard to rise and they did, TOO MUCH and all stuck together, trying to salvage what I can, HM bread without the BM is something I haven't tried until today!
